Yeah, there are so many ways you can easily make differences (and use to identify females) between aliens in terms of genders. Different colouring, sizes, features, etc, etc. One of my species has the male with a more club like tail while the female’s is sharper, and they’re darker, too.
Also when creating aliens..don’t be afraid to get creative with making them! I have a species based off of fungi, a species based off of jellyfish, etc etc.
I do have appreciation though when people make reptilian aliens and don’t give them boobs.
Same. Like, biology people. Breasts are meant for feeding babies but nooo they are on anything supposed to be attracted because we live in a world that thinks sexualizing females is necessary in everything!
All I can think of is that one post where it's like "she breasted boobily to the stairs and titted downwards"
I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT POST SO I'M DYING
I've posted it a million times but
Some times I just want to shove a Biology text book under an authors face and force them to read.
Nobody:
Literally no one at all:
Male AuthorsTM (you know the type): "She stood up, her large breasts hanging freely under her skirt, unhindered by a bra. She took a step and they moved seductively."
Wait is that actually supposed to say skirt or is it a typo of shirt? Because that makes a big difference.
"her large breasts hanging freely under her skirt" - i cannot unsee this
That sentence alone makes me imagine an ancient lady :'))
Imagine if women actually saw themselves the way men wrote/see them
Like, instead of thinking "I'm getting up to get a glass of water" it's like, "my breasts are being hugged tightly to my ribcage by a bra, creating an attractive cleavage. As I sophisticatedly sip the water, a bit dribbles down my cheek sexily. I charmingly wipe it away with the back of my hand, giggling seductively. Did I mention, breasts?"
Most men have just left this conversation lol
Anyways, I just don't get why male authors think women spend so much time thinking about our boobs? The only time I'll think about them is if my bra is uncomfortable.
Same.
They're really nothing… 'Special.'
The other time you think about your boobs is when you run or jump, and need to hold on to them before they take off - so uncomfortable
Or when it's the middle of summer and they're sweaty as heck which just makes things even more uncomfortable
And when you're just trying to sleep but they decide to make it physically impossible to find a comfortable sleeping position
Have I mentioned before that I really don't like them
Some of us don’t even have those problems though. Boobs aren’t even worth mentioning in most cases.
Yeah, it's just a way to sexualize female characters. I don't notice someone's boobs when I see them. Like, ever.
sPEAKING OF BOOBS
I don't know I just wanted to say that
Anyways, I just don't get why male authors think women spend so much time thinking about our boobs? The only time I'll think about them is if my bra is uncomfortable.
Cause they do and they see the world in one big self reflecting generalization.
