The Bimbofication thing annoys the crap out of me. It feels like the “”leftist”” (not really even! performative leftism still deeply rooted in capitalism) expression of the more “trad” realization that women should reconsider motherhood. Except it’s still grounded in isolation. Idk. Maybe I don’t make sense. It bothers me
To me, it’s reminiscent of the ladette years - the idea that if you’re doing feminine stereotypes *ironically*, it will be received ironically. But it’s very hard to subvert this stuff: look at what happened to Germaine Greer when she posed naked for Oz.
