Something about her neck is so distracting

[@mhence7]

The topic being explored is interesting but why are these videos so dull and monotone. This music is also distracting. Also don't really buy bimbo as anti capitalism because it seems that the bimbo image is to capitalize. Maybe because I saw the ramifications of the likes of jessica simpson, paris hilton and the kardashians cause more harm than be helpful. It just placed the focus back on women being valued for their appearance. I am sure these women have intelligence but this isn't what they are valued for thanks to our culture but also what was projected. Focus became on the superficial and capitalism. I can't speak for the tiktok stars because I don't have it but are they profiting off their image or persona? Based on what they are saying I wouldn't classify them as bimbos as much as I wouldn't classify Dolly Parton as one who has been doing this for years. As for victim blaming that is thanks to our. patriarchal society that yes is connected to capitalism. But this video also ends with talking about how bimbos are profiting. I agree with self accepting and accepting people for who they are and value them as humans and not productivity but I am just not buying it here. I rather based the actions of these women instead of their appearance.

This video is a mess

[@TheGodYouWishYouKnew]

This is the least patriarchal time in human history. Patriarchy predates capitalism and is prevalent in Confuciuon commie countries today. I suspect you know this already.
