I do not mind that you are a girl, but the main thing is that you yourself do not mind. There is no reason for it.

Maybe this is a little bit hypocritical to say, since I’m reblogging this… but when the subject comes up, I always think: Let’s spend a little less time talking about the fact that we’re women and we’re doing things, and more time just doing those things and being damn good at it. Because we can, now.

{ Ignatio Torres }: Stellar

This project began from the theory that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death. I created imagery that showcased this cosmic birth through the use of dust and reflective confetti to create galaxies. The models organic bodily expressions as they are frozen in time between the particles suggest their celestial creation. In addition, space and time is heightened by the use of three-dimensional animated gifs. Their movement serves as a visual metaphor to the spatial link we share with stars as well as their separateness through time.

You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”.

I’m not saying that you SHOULDN’T be pretty if you want to. (You don’t owe UN-prettiness to feminism, in other words.) …
