I want to live in a world where little girls are not pinkified, but where little girls who like pink are not punished for it, either. We can certainly talk about the social pressures surrounding gender roles, and the concerns that people have when they see girls and young women who appear to be forced into performances of femininity by the society around them, but let’s stop acting like they have no agency and free will. Let’s stop acting like women who choose to be feminine are somehow colluders, betraying the movement, bamboozled into thinking that they want to be feminine. Let’s stop denying women their own autonomy by telling them that their expressions of femininity are bad and wrong.

Antifemininity is misogynist. What you are saying when you engage in this type of rhetoric is that you think things traditionally associated with women are wrong. Which is misogynist. By telling feminine women that they don’t belong in the feminist movement, you are reinforcing the idea that to be feminine and a woman is wrong, that women who want to be taken seriously need to be more masculine, because most people view gender presentation in binary ways. This rewards the ‘one of the boys’ type rhetoric I encounter all over the place from self-avowed feminists who seem to think that bashing on women is a good way to prove how serious they are when it comes to caring about women and bringing men into the feminist movement.

Ben does this version of the Pixies “Debaser” called “Degreaser” about doing dishes and it is hilarious and amazing. It has been in my head for days now. He said I could share it with you:

GOT ME A SCRUB BRUSH
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
GOT ME SOME RUBBER GLOVES
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
DISHES SO DIRTY
I WANT YOU TO KNOW

DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT
I KNOW WHAT TO DO
(YEAH!) SCRUB IT LOOSE YEAH, I KNOW WHAT TO DO (repeats)
…GONNA CLEAN…
CLEAN THEM ALL…
WITH A DEGREASER!
DEGREASER (repeats)

I SCRUB THROUGH DRIED-ON CHEESE
AHHH-HA-HA-HAA
I SCRUB THROUGH BACON GREASE
AHHH-HA-HA-HAA
THEY GO IN THE DISHWASHER
AHHH-HA-HA-HAA

BUT BEFORE THEY DO
(YEAH!) SCRUB IT LOOSE YEAH, I KNOW WHAT TO DO (repeats)
DEGREASER (repeats)

This is nothing short of genius.

OMG
