In response to the meme, not obsessed with getting married + actually cares about feminist issues and resents the motherfucking patriarchy totes obviously = ~LESBIAN~ [insert Bridesmaids gif]
If I kept count of how many people have assumed/told me right to my face that I must be a lesbian, I wouldn’t have to work ever again.
That being said
I actually was originally going to start my take at it with 'if you were a man your woobification would be epic!. Which gave me thoughts on why that never happens for female chars? So I decided you deserved to be woobified anyway, because fuck that shit. I'm tired of all the woobification everywhere (it's in all fandoms and lately it's everywhere) but if it's going to happen anyway I want it to happen to my favorite bitches as well.
If you would like to woobify me, my dear, then go for it. I am all for subverting tropes.
And why are female characters never woobified?
You dumped a dude for saying he could see marrying you? That is not only awesome, it’s something I would probably do.
LOL yeah. I had been under the impression that it was casual dating (my definition of casual dating is hanging out with one dude every now and then), but he apparently thought differently. We were at his house, and he actually looked right at me and said, “I could see myself marrying you.” After I picked my mouth up off the floor, I told him that I did not want commitment and that it would be best if the relationship stopped. He was pretty upset about it, but he got married pretty soon after that, so I really don’t feel bad about it at all.
NO BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. ASHLEY IS A BITCH FOR A REASON!!!! SHE _obviously_ HAS A VERY TROUBLED PAST AND NOBODY IN THIS SHOW UNDERSTANDS HER AND SHE REALLY JUST NEEDS SOMEONE TO HUG HER! I MEAN NOBODY CAN BE THIS MEAN WITHOUT SOME SEVERE TRAUMA'S RIGHT? SHE DESERVES LOVE AND HUGS AND SOMEBODY TO HOLD HER AT NIGHT!!!! (I actually think the woobification of you could be epicly awesome in its hilariousness)
Would it be possible to woobify me? I don’t think I’m a prime candidate for it; I’m a woman, I’m incredibly selfish, I once dumped a boyfriend specifically because he said he could see himself marrying me, and I have zero redeeming qualities about me. I’m like Joffrey in A Song of Ice and Fire, except I’m not a bastard and don’t beat women.
"EWWWW HOW CAN YOU FUCKING LIKE ASHLEY SHE'S SUCH A BITCH. SHE'S ALWAYS YELLING AT EVERYONE AND MAKING GROSS NOISES AT PEOPLE. SHE'S SOOOO NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR UNICORN."
AND THEY WOULD BE CORRECT
BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE UNICORN
NO ONE
“It saddens me to see girls proudly declaring they’re not like other girls – especially when it’s 41,000 girls saying it in a chorus, never recognizing the contradiction. It’s taking a form of contempt for women – even a hatred for women – and internalizing it by saying, Yes, those girls are awful, but I’m special, I’m not like that, instead of stepping back and saying, This is a lie.
…
The real meaning of “I’m not like the other girls” is, I think, “I’m not the media’s image of what girls should be.” Well, very, very few of us are. Pop culture wants to tell us that we’re all shallow, backstabbing, appearance-obsessed shopaholics without a thought in our heads beyond cute boys and cuter handbags. It’s a lie – a flat-out lie – and we need to recognize it and say so instead of accepting that judgment as true for other girls, but not for you.” —

Excellent article. I always end up thinking this when I see reblogs like that. Female competition is a horrible, poisonous thing (that I’ve only recently gotten over engaging in, and I am much happier for it).
