So the frat circulating the rapey survey has been suspended. A member of the national organization is coming to campus to pay a visit.
Sounds like these young men are in trouble.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't know lipstick was such a tool of the man.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yeah, it seems odd to choose red lips to show power.
Love the roller derby "Hey Girl". Love them all. Love the Gosling. Still very distracted by the Not!Gosling at work.

Multimillion (billion?) dollar industry based on convincing women that we don't look acceptable unless we buy their product? It's not foot-binding, but it's not exactly some pretty pigment in a tube that exists in a societal vacuum free of performative expectations, either.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If I were in the habit of wearing lipstick anyway, I might think about it as a solidarity thing. But since I never wear makeup and don't own any, I don't see how buying a tube of red lipstick is going to be in any way empowering.
I'd maybe be able to wear it for 15 minutes before wiping it off. The feeling of makeup on my skin gives me the creepy-crawlies.

I feel comfortable wearing lipstick for reasons I value, and for reasons I choose. I enjoy the makeup I wear, and don't feel oppressed for having bought or worn it. I'm pretty okay repurposing my own aesthetics for me.
I wear heels for my own reasons too.
The frat questionnaire came out because:
Though the full questionnaire hasn't been released, according to student blogs, the last question got out when a new member sent the document to a teaching assistant instead of his homework
I'd love to think that was Freud at work, or someone trying to evade taking responsibility for exposing the behaviour of the frat, instead of just a really stupid mistake.

You are not a movement whose purported raison d'etre is to embody women's power, though. You are an individual, not a social statement.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am sitting in the oncologist's office for my three month check up.
I am wearing a dress.
This is your brain on Tamoxifen.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
apparently, lipstick is no longer an economic indicator, but nail polish is.

Perkins,
I cannot believe it has been 3 months already! Congratulations on this milestone and I hope things go well.
