Jews believe in the Bible! They're much better at keeping to its code. Ask a Christian: Do you mix the fabrics; do you eat shellfish; do you eat pork; do you eat dairy products at the same time that you eat meat; have you been circumcised? They will answer yes to all questions but the last. This is because their leaders in antiquity wanted to gain new converts, and keeping to ancient codes did not suit their purposes.

Fun fact: I’m swedish and studying to become a preschool teacher. It’s in our guidelines from the government to offer every child equal opportunities to grow and to be able to play with whatever toys they want, and not discriminate or judge children or their parents based on gender, ethnicity, religion or sexuality. We don’t enforce gender stereotypes and rather want to give every child the opportunity to choose interests for themselves without the societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles. It’s really a wonderful work environment and I can’t wait to spend my life making sure all children get the same starting point in life. I love this dystopia

As a cis woman who has been accidentally called "sir" or "he" on more than one occasion, I can assure the Girl Defined sisters that it really isn't a big deal. In person, it's happened when I'm wearing bulky clothes or cosplaying Haruka Tenoh, and it's frankly a compliment in the latter situation because Haruka is mistaken for a man in the anime Sailor Moon. It means I've pulled off her ambiguous appearance! More frequently, I get mistaken for a dude in voice chat in video games. I have a voice that apparently causes me to sound like a 13-year-old boy instead of a 27-year-old woman. My sense of humor probably contributes to this assumption. I then sometimes get "accused" of being trans (as if that's a bad thing?), and I tend to respond, "Nah, I'm just an alto. And a lesbian."

[@Claudiomartin05]

Same, as a cis guy with long hair who's very into fashion I've been called "lady" or "miss" a few times and it isn't a big deal at all, women are beautiful so why should I be offended if someone confuses me for a tiny second as one.

I was chillin in a women's restroom waiting for my sister to get out, and this little old lady walked in, saw me with my short hair and immense baggy hoodie that hid my hips and chest, and immediately walked backwards out the door to check and see if she entered the right bathroom.

Oh MY GOSH. The whole Marilyn thing makes me so angry as an avid Marilyn historian. If they had done any research on her life whatsoever they would know that Marilyn was raised by a Christian foster home, those foster parents would take her to church and when young Norma Jeane would try to confess her "sins" (her "sins" being the sexual abuse she had, I put sins in quotes because those were not actually her sins, they were her abusers' sins) they would discipline her for "telling terrible lies about those nice men". Then, Marilyn got sent to live with her Aunt Ana, a woman Marilyn came to love and admire and who was a deep believer in Christian Science, as was her mother Gladys, but it wasn't right for Norma. Then when she did "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", her costar Jane Russell tried to get Marilyn back into Christianity, but Marilyn politely declined, probably cause her experiences with Christianity caused her great pain. Later in life she married Arthur Miller and converted to Judaism, which she practised somewhat for the rest of her life, even after her divorce from Miller. Christianity caused deep pain for Marilyn and I doubt that if she would have "found Jesus" it would have made her life much better. There's so much more to the effects of Christianity on Marilyn's life, but it's too much to leave in the comments

Being Christian wouldn't have fixed Marilyn, she needed medical help that no one encouraged her to get. She was actually in a medical asylum for a bit but Joe DiMaggio forced them to let her out because she was so mistreated there. She wasn't really a Christan herself and I think she would have been upset at having been used in the book. In her exact words, "A sex icon is a thing, and I hate to be a thing." Fundamentally she disagreed with sexist ideals but was never able to break free of them like Audrey Hepburn did, for example. She never would have wanted young girls to be learning the lessons girl defined teaches, because at the end of the day she hated the sexist cage she was trapped in. I hate them. They don't even know anything about her. They didn't even do thier research. They don't know what mental illness is and why God couldn't have saved Marilyn.

@@NIHIL_EGO In my experience Christianity is more about fear than anything else. Don’t sin or you will go to hell. For some people that’s pretty much the core aspect of it. It’s sad. (I get not all Christians are like this that’s why I used words like “my experience” and “some people” oof)

You know what sucks? I almost felt like they were onto something with that Marylin Monroe part before they started spouting their psycho bullshit. So Marylin Monroe was all about the glitter and glamour and she was super popular, but there were also some really tragic moments in her life. What can we learn from that? Maybe: Don't judge people when you don't really know them, because you don't know what they're going through? Oh wait no, the lesson to take away from this is that society isn't christian enough.

For the father's day sermon, our pastor went on a weird tirade about how those verses weren't actually sexist, and that sure women are intrinsically different and inferior to men but that doesn't mean men should abuse women! There was an especially funny part where he said he "consulted woman's issues experts" and it ended up just being his mom and wife. Like he legitimately only knows and respects two women, one of whom literally birthed him. It was the first and only time my family walked out of a sermon, because my father didn't want to put us (my mother and I) through that regressive shit.

This is our dark academia/emo alt girl Miss Frizzel. This is the lesbian teacher every baby gay (including me) needs to hear from. As a baby gay, her (strange aeons) and the queer kiwi are the two musts for learning about lgbtq+ culture and what it means to be a part of it and how to be respectful to everyone, lgbt or not. My alt miss frizzel, thank you so much for helping me through my identity crisis, I can now proudly say that I am a bisexual, and supportive of everyone. Everyone is amazing and deserves to be supported, and thanks for supporting me through your videos.

Yknow, I really am not 100% convinced that the general culture pressures women into being that loose and promiscous or whatever? I mean slut shaming is still definitely a huge thing? I mean I always felt like one of the biggests things that troubled me is that women are oversexualized, treated as sex objects, etc but at the SAME TIME shamed for their sexuality constantly.

[@nanahuatli2144]

We're punished for being women, just because people can get away with it. Like bullying and other types of power plays and oppression, it's not about being female, black, Jewish, transgender or what have you. It's not the thing itself; it's just that if you're outside of any of those groups you get to punish those within, and exerting power on another is too tempting for most people to pass up. The rationalizations come after this fact.

[@joshs7160]

That's because turning the woman into a "sex-object" comes from a place of superiority, it's used as a tool to prop up the male ego, and until society actually respects women equally, they're always going to be shamed for the same reason they're lusted after.
