I'm blocked by Shon so can't read her tweets, but someone posted this screenshot

"To me, “The Future is female” means that no longer will female qualities be subordinated to male qualities
I want to live in a world that is collaborative
A world that is emotionally intelligent
A world in which we are linked and not ranked!"

Did someone mention me?!

MagneticMan · 30/03/2018 01:40

Love Nina Simone 😍

Shania would be too obvious, I'll have to think of another one.

Terftastic · 30/03/2018 01:25

One for Shon

Can we also start to give the women a thumbs up - given its a fem thread and all :-)

I'll start here and you can raise me!

Oh my goodness - Nuno Bettencourt

Extreme - few good songs and some shit ones but god damn it that guy could play a guitar.

Having a lovely 80s revival to myself here.

Tell you what though, this is a vid worthy of a thread itself

Can't believe Bowie has only just come up on this thread, being the absolute in gender non-conforming men.

I say they're beautiful men, not pretty boys. Which is unfortunate for Shon - who is neither, to me. Just looks like a gay man to me - and there is nothing wrong with that.

Welcome to MN @Caribou58 Smile

@OlennasWimple James Charles looks fierce in his makeup. Very talented young man.

Stay yourself James, don't be gaslighted into thinking that just because you rock those products you automatically have to become 'woman'.

Now 'Boys don't cry' by The Cure was a bloody good analysis of gender stereotyping and why it's a bad thing.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 30/03/2018 00:36

So wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully pretty

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 30/03/2018 00:35

I was in the official Adam Ant fan club

Most of the men I dated wore make up in the 80's. All straight though none of them were butch alpha type males. Very sexy indeed. Got to love a man comfortable enough in his own masculinity to wear make up without having to question his gender/sex/sexual orientation.

Howyoualldoworkme · 30/03/2018 00:34

And as always, Bowie did it first Smile

The actress who played Marian was very lovely.

I think she’s a gardener now.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 30/03/2018 00:23

My husband Robert made this just before he made my tea

AngryAttackKittens · 30/03/2018 00:09

Michael Praed was my bestie's favorite when we were in high school. Birds of a pretty boy loving feather flock together?

I'm not watching whole episodes of Robin of Sherwood on youtube now - oh no, not at all. I mean who knew there were whole episodes there!

I've had more than one boyfriend who I've shared eyeliner with. Nowadays they'd probably get people asking them for their pronouns, much to their bemusement.

Terftastic · 29/03/2018 23:52

MumOfTheMoos - Yes, exactly.

MumOfTheMoos · 29/03/2018 23:46

I loved it as a teenager when the guys would wear eyeliner - so cool. I really feel for teenagers today, so many labels and imagine being told that because you are gender non conforming you might be in the wrong body - it's tragic.

I know when you're a teenager it's very frustrating to be told that you may not feel the way you are currently feeling (with great intensity) forever but I do find the adults egging them on quite lacking in humanity and compassion.

Terftastic · 29/03/2018 23:38

Duran Duran - more "very definitely" men in makeup. Not "girls" just because they wore makeup.

WTF happened to the world?

Terftastic · 29/03/2018 23:36

Eventually, Dontdrink - but not in time for Adam & the Ants sadly.

We did get one in time to record Robin of Sherwood and endless performances of Smiths & Cure on TOTP though.

I can still remember the "oh wow, you've got a video!" thing.
