I need to draw men being obnoxious to their partners and getting In The Way right now immediately.
it is it's nature to Be In The Way.
Just... Pick them up??? Grab a blanket, wrap 'em up, then move them out of the way.
the consequences of doing that:
just needed to make a conclusion to this
tbh this post is Just for the it/its crowd now. keep shining.
(but for real it makes me happy other it/its folks are getting a lil joy out of an it/its character like. casually existing and having a fun gender.)

This is one of those posts where I feel like I'm doing others and myself a disservice by not sharing. I wish someone had shown me this a long time ago.
Maybe I'd be having to do less work to break out of this shell, now.
Spirit Bears
The Kermode bear (Ursus americanus kermodei), also known as the “spirit bear” (particularly in British Columbia), is a rare subspecies of the American black bear living in the Central and North Coast regions of British Columbia, Canada. It is noted for about one-tenth of its population having white or cream-colored coats like polar bears. This color is due to a double recessive gene unique in the subspecies. They are not albinos and not any more related to polar bears or the “blonde” brown bears of Alaska’s “ABC Islands” than other members of their species.
gonna steal from ganondoodles but this is wild because
- Art 101 absolutely does not teach you human anatomy. If you hear about this in Art 101 it is Most Likely in reference to shape and design.
- This logic comes from quick readability (silhouette). This is Shape Language, not Human Anatomy. This is design shorthand for Boy and Girl, not biological evidence of or a guide to either.
- If your teacher uses this as an example of how men and women actually look, do not trust that teacher.
Visible Anatomy comes from three main things: skeletal structure, muscle density, and fat distribution. All of those things vary from person to person, in terms of both genetics and as a result of something (bodybuilding, diet, disabilities, etc).
An "Hourglass" figure actually comes from the break between the ribs and the hips, and the ribs and hips generally don't have much of a width difference, otherwise our balance as bipedal creatures gets fucked up.
Are there commonly skeletal differences between afabs and amabs? Sure! But again, depending on your genetics and how you condition your body, the external differences have a lot of crossover, and humans can share traits all the way across the gender spectrum and back.
Here's some examples of Sexual Dimorphism in Humans (click to enlarge):
SO REMEMBER KIDS:
If it was common or natural for women to have hourglass figures, nobody would sell shapewear and diet pills.
If it was common or natural for men to have wide shoulders and narrow waists, nobody sell workout equipment and protein powder.
This is not anatomy. It's Design Shorthand. It can work really well! Humans can make themselves look like that! But it's not realistic, it's not common, and it's most definitely not Art 101.

are we still genuinely not grasping that the way you treat women you don’t like is directly related to the way you treat women you DO like bc clearly the moment they slip up their bodies/looks are fair game …
not to mention that a lot of men can’t seem to criticize women they disagree with without bringing their looks/body into it or sexualizing them. the criticism is fundamentally abt their beliefs but every comment comes back to their bodies… interesting… almost like they don’t respect women in general…
