ive been thinking and honest to god: i think i would actually join a girl gang if the offer came. like a legitimate, hierarchical, “let’s carry knives under our skirts and beat up men” gang. fuck college
bringing back the sukeban girl gangs from the 70’s that wore long skirts against teen sexualization and fucked things up for the patriarchy
and this was no “5 girls in a small town” who made the news—this was yakuza level shit. 20,000 girls getting into gang fights and shoplifting and getting pissed off that only men were allowed to be rough and violent and angry
and y’all wanna know the funniest part? immediately after this trend blew up, the Men decided to sexualize the hell out of these girls. this included movie adaptations and pornos where the skirts were made shorter and the tits were bigger cause apparently they had found their new fetish
but here’s how they actually looked, and it’s actually pretty badass:
Don’t fucking tag his as “badass women”. They were upset that existing crime organizations weren’t supporting them so they wanted to commit the ultraviolence and robbery in their own name. They fucking lynched their own members. They were a gang in the full scope of what that means. Blood in, blood out, murder, drugs, assault, maiming.
The fuck is wrong with you people?
What’s wrong with them is ironically enough related to the last thing I reblogged and commented on.
This take, the adoration of Sukeban girl gangs? THIS is what romanticizing is. ‘I think this is cool so I’ll ignore all the bad things because it fits into my narrative of tough women are always a good thing!’
I did the being edgy and self-deprecating thing, it gets old. I wanna be soft and lovely and easily impressed. I wanna appreciate all the little things that make me happy the same way I’ve dwelled on every single thing that upsets me.
The clouds below your feet. Quit clipping on your wings. Sometimes we hate to leave somebody. Whats happening to we? Warm winds on a space ride when I call your phone on a late night, I recall your soul had a taste like…gardens, flowers, warm winds….
