The Lavender Filter

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

Female Primacy 101: 

In 1996 and 1997 No Doubt released Tragic Kingdom to LIFE CHANGING reviews. It WAS my Freshman year.

Just A Girl was THE GREATEST SONG EVER. 

The Message was simple.

"My social role is NOT going to be dictated by men anymore!"

And a girl power icon saying that was fucking amazing.  And we even overlooked the (known) context of Don't Speak.

It was still female primacy.  It spoke to a social construct where the role of women is primarily shaped in reference to men. 

Traps/Turn offs will include: 

Doing things for male attention. E.g. wanting to be skinny because guys dont want "fat girls" or anything based on a male dictated standard of beauty..

More generally, judging your self-image of worth based on the standards of men, or in the case of models, gay men that want starving size zeros with overly-pertruding clavicle bones.

Female primacy says, "Why the fuck should i judge anything about myself by standards my gender didn't create?"

That is the woman identified woman.

Now back to Gwen.

She followed up Tragic Kingdom with Return of Saturn and its first single, Ex Girlfriend which was honestly like the girl that quit VMI after two weeks due to hazing.

It was disappointing from a female primacy standpoint.

She went from saying "Fuck the male dominated view of women" to "Woe is me, all I am is some guy's ex-girlfriend now." 

Psychologically, she had demoted her worth in comparison to a man, and didn't even realize how that disappointed many of her fans that was the long-awaited single.

Did you know that lavender in some fashion can promote breast growth in men.

Hey, guys can be lavender girls too as far as I am concerned. Especially, when you argue for the social construct of gender..

Heteronormative transgressing behavior can come from all identities.

** Looked it up... I did not know Lavender oil caused gynecomastia.  See, natural trans-therapy can exist.  Flax seed and lavender oil apparently..

For sure, whenever I'm stuck in the backseat of my daughter's fiance's car and they play 'their generational' music, I always point out the female singer's lack of thinking as a strong independent woman...they both did not acknowledge it.

My hope is the name makes no one want to read it.

It worked on me at first. "The Lavender filter? That means nothing to me. *scrolls past*"

It's a shame though, because I think many people on this forum would benefit from reading this.

I never "like" posts because I'm principally against it, but I made an exception here because I thought it was cringe that no man had liked it yet.

More power to ya.

I know you're joking but... cringe.
