Reverse gender stereotypes at the gym

Aaahhhh get on my dash you amusing thing you.

I kinda love it

this is actually great from an acting perspective.

the actors actually played the opposite gender instead of just relying on stereotypes (ironically enough) to portray that they were, in fact, the opposite gender. Usually if you tell a guy to act like a girl, he begins playing by the homosexual stereotype (faking a lisp, popping the hip, etc.) and while it accentuates femininity, it’s really uncomfortable and forced, making it just seem like he’s playing a stereotype instead of the actual gender. And girls will do this too; being told to play a male and instead just deepening the voice and say “dude” and “bro” a lot (although these are more common among modern practices).

The males played up femininity without coming off as a forced stereotype and the females played up masculinity and machismo without forcing their performance.

also the video is funny and I kind of forgot the point I was making.

DONT BE A LITTLE PENIS

Perfect video is perfect.

so i’ve seen this post go around before, but i absolutely fucking lost it today when i saw it on my dash. so here, just in case white people have forgotten how well represented they are in the Disney franchise i made you a picture of all the beautiful white Disney girls you have and have had to look up to all your lives. thats not even all of them. Hell your even getting a new one soon! (not to metion every fucking live action character)
half of the princesses of color are racist caricatures, and Atlantian isn’t a race or an ethnicity, and Tiana was a fucking frog for more than half of the fucking film.

P.S. don’t ever use the word g***y to describe the Romani People

P.P.S. Native American and Indian are two different things.

I know I’ve reblogged stuff like this before, but the image set is so popular it bears repitition.

So to repeat: you don’t actually have great representation if you have 5-10 WoC and 1000 white women. And representation isn’t about just being there, either, though that’s a big part of it in terms of what this post is purporting. It’s also about how you’re represented, and all movies with PoC in them have some troubling racial component, some more than others.

And it shouldn’t even have to be said again but yeah Ariel? Is white. Half fish, half white woman. Who turns completely into a white woman. You are literally comparing PoC to animals if the fish part is what matters here. Omg mixed race relationship still dying that even one person found that worthy to reblog

I never liked that original post.

Also, let’s not ignore the fact that we have pretty much done the token way of diversity i.e. one Chinese, one Black, one Indian, etc. God forbid you have two black princesses.

And that comment about Kida and using the word ethnic seems off to me.

yeah, really good points! Just so everyone knows there is a lot wrong with this post and the first person hit a lot of things but like you can find a lot of “gems” beyond what everyone covered in text.

I’m still on the “one hot ass ethnic beauty” comment.

I usually don’t take pictures of strangers and post them online but…

Today at Target this lady was being dragged by her two sons into the toy aisle and since I was looking at Transformers I happened to see them go by. These boys were REALLY excited about something and I wasn’t sure what, so out of curiosity I peeked around the “boy’s aisle” and….

They were grabbing tons of different dolls and accessories and begging their mom for them and what she told them was priceless.

She didn’t say no because they were boys who wanted “girl’s toys”….she said,
“You already have Ariel, don’t you want someone else?”
And one of the boys just kept yelling how Ariel was his favorite.

Their mom was just so frustrated and exhausted like they must beg her for princess toys all the time and they probably have so many back at home and I’m sorry but that’s just adorable ;w;

That’s like this one time I was in the toy aisle at Wal-Mart and this lady and her son walked past me, and I heard her mumble something about Monster High dolls, and her son got really excited about them. So, they walked past this one doll and he made grabby hands at it and you know what his mom said? “That’s a knock-off toy, you want the real thing don’t you?”

And I just thought it was utterly priceless because it’s like, “good job, mom, no generic toys for your child.”
