Not fuckable, sorry Tarzan.

Wir haben die Nase gestrichen voll von der vorgegaukelten Macht, die wir angeblich als Schauspielerinnen haben, aber bitte in zart, nett und nicht all zu sexy.

Text adaptation by Gesine Cukrowski, Margarita Breitkreiz, and Sobo Swobodnik based on the book Sorry Tarzan, ich rette mich selbst! by Gesine Cukrowski.

Not fuckable, sorry Tarzan.

We’re sick and tired of the power we’re fooled into believing we have as female actors – and please be sure to look sweet and charming and not too sexed up, dear. Act as harmless as possible, thank you! Wanna be a heroine? Only as hot eye candy on the red carpet or on the covers of glossy magazines, so sorry. Smile, please!

Woman as an object reduced to fulfil one single function – to titillate sexual fantasies, and act as a trigger fanning the flame of juvenile maleness in the aging male hero well past his prime. Marie, Ophelia, Juliet, Gretchen, Desdemona have had enough of dying only to give the male hero something to suffer over! The myth of the “weaker sex” has worn thin.

The outdated clichés—on stage, behind the scenes, and on camera—that we still have to deal with need to go, because stereotyping has a huge impact on society at large and is capable of causing enormous harm. Visibility is power, and as long as patriarchal patterns dictate who gets to play which role on screen and on stage, that power still isn’t shared equally.

We are heroines, not pin-up fantasies. Enough is enough. We’ve had enough. So long, Tarzan—Jane is now a size L.
