stop bastardizing frida kahlo

angrywocunited:

skullxcrusher:

  1. Frida Kahlo was a communist. She was actively anti-capitalist and guess what? She would be whole-heartedly against her image being plastered all over clothing that is most likely assembled through sweatshop labor of woc and then sold by multi-million dollar corporations. 
  2. Although she was mestiz@, she HATED white people and their beauty standards. She even said white people “look like unbaked rolls.” She did not think you were cute. Stop accessorizing her image when she fucking hated yours.
  3. Similarly, she rejected popular notions of ‘femininity’ through her choice to not shave, dress “masculine,” and even use makeup to darken her facial hair. She aimed to deconstruct the ways in which we understood femininity. How does putting her all over pink and floral dresses and shirts make any sense? 
  4. Many of the nude photos of her are fake. Frida was disabled. She had an accident that left physical marks on her body and any real nude photos of her would show this. Stop erasing her struggles as a woman with a disability.
  5. Again, she was anti-capitalist, anti-white, and critical of the concepts of femininity. Trust me, she would want nothing to do with your white-washed, slutwalk-promoting, liberal feminist bullshit. 

In summary she would hate anything and everything you mayo ass tumblr hipsters have done or thought to do with her image. Leave her face alone and let it belong to her. Use it to represent what she actually stood for, or back the fuck off.

Also, 

6. Stop giving Frida makeovers. She hated your racist, fascist beauty standards. She used makeup to darken her facial hair just to make you racist, unbaked rolls uncomfortable.
