554 Notes
[Image: A five panel black and white hand drawn comic.  The top panel has the title: “Feminist” Ryan Gosling. The first panel has a drawn Ryan Goslin, arm crossed with a slightly smug smile on his face saying, “Hey girl.” The second panel shows him in the same pose from further away saying, “I know feminist theory analyzes power + privilege and that it critiques hegemonic masculinity…” The fourth panel shows him still slightly smiling, hand raised as if explaining something, “But don’t you think a straight, white, cis man should incoherently regurgitate theory to win your heart and bring sexy back to feminism?” The last panel shows him looking pointed and slightly angry, “Now. Where’s my fucking cookie?”] And in a nutshell, here is everything that has made me queasy about the Feminist Ryan Gosling meme.
