DA- Just saying

They kinda lost me at "femininity is a tool" and saying that weaponized femininity is bad. because that sounds like the whole "Real Women never Wear Dresses" crap.

It does strike me as rather sexist to be like "Masculinity? Mkay. femininity just a tool to brainwash and control. You can only be masculine"

What's really sexist is saying that one is inferior and one is superior. We should accept feminine people and masculine people as equals.

I've seen a lot of people read it like that, but I have to disagree. I read it as more like, there's nothing particularly revolutionary about femininity, because it's expected. Not that it's a bad thing to own it, of course.

I think the poster criticizes "weaponized femininity" because it portrays girls fighting with magical nail polish or some bullshit. Instead of pretending that some sparkly symbol of femininity is equally powerful to an assault rifle we should instead redefine femininity itself. Paint the guns pink or whatever. Weapons aren't inherently manly.

Except for swords. And spears. And clubs.

You should see the shit that went down over the pink Nerf guns line.

I was so torn about those. On one hand, it seemed kind of unnecessary and gross. On the other, fuck those things looked rad. All Nerf guns should look like that.

Painting the gun pink is weaponized femininity though.

NAYRT
Although I think the comment you responded to was inappropriately flippant and dismissive, I just wanted to point out that you're making a rather broad assumption with that reply. My cousin's ex got a pink gun for Christmas one year, and it really was considered no different than my Mom's blue rims: thing you like + colour you like = thing you *really* like. Now, you're absolutely right if they paint the gun pink *because* she's a girl. However, everyone should be free to paint their stuff in their favourite colour without the assumption of some agenda to it.
