Why I'm Not A Feminist.
maliceinmyfantasies:
I’m not a feminist because I don’t believe in just female rights. It’s the same reason why I’m not the equal opposite because I don’t just believe in male rights. Because I’m not an asshole. Feminism is not for ‘equality’ of the sexes. It’s for just female rights. There’s no other side to it. There’s no focus on male issues, if any exist for the feminist opinion, for that...

stfuprolife:
Not everyone wants that kind of gift. If I got pregnant, I’d want the receipt.
I think the dangerous thing about starting to call pro-life people “anti-choicers” is that they can pay you back with the same coin. You’re basically putting “pro-death” on a silver platter for them, and that sounds way worse than “anti-choice.”
It actually...

"I am going to call myself a feminist then refer...
Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think this is how it works.
You cannot possibly claim to support an oppressed community, then use such derogatory language against a single member of it just because of a personal grudge and expect it to be acceptable.
It’s the same logic as saying “I have black/asian/Mexican/etc friends so I can call them _______ if I want and...

Female privilege?
stfufauxminists:
brightblackdaylight:
As feminists, we tend to think a lot about male privilege (stuff like the fact that men are more likely to be bosses and CEOs and less likely to get raped), but not very much about female privilege. I stumbled across this, a list of female privileges:
As a woman …
1. I have a much lower chance of being murdered than a man. 2. I have a much lower chance...

A guy in my psychology class said he thought...
Me: Okay so if orientation is a choice, choose to be gay, right now.
Him: No.
Me: Why not?
Him: Because I don't find men attractive
Me: So CHOOSE to find them attractive
Him: ....... I can't.
Me: Sorry, WHAT was that? You CAN'T????

THINGS BLACK PEOPLE CONFUSE AS RACIST →
wtfwhiteprivilege:
America is such a global heavyweight that we forget the nation is only 235 years old, barely an adolescent as far as empires go. More than a third of U.S. history is marked by the legal institution of slavery and we’ve been dealing with the fallout of racial inequality ever since it was abolished. But cultural traditions run deep and propagate down generations. While progress...

What about men?
iamateenagefeminist:
‘
The following conversation happened on my facebook page yesterday, and I thought it would be helpful to reflect exactly why I was upset that this woman brought men into a status talking about the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
It’s not that I don’t think Domestic Violence against men shouldn’t be talked about, and I certainly don’t...

Ron Paul wants to define life as starting at conception, build a fence along the US-Mexico border, prevent the Supreme Court from hearing cases on the Establishment Clause or the right to privacy, permitting the return of sodomy laws and the like (a bill which he has repeatedly re-introduced), pull out of the UN, disband NATO, end birthright...

I HATE YOU FACEBOOK
iamateenagefeminist:
If you sent me a message on facebook and I did not respond, this is why.
You know, I attended a lecture on applied ethics. This facebook system seems to go against everything that was discussed there. It does not do what people need it to reliably. People are knowingly going behind users backs and changing things, making subtle changes that aren’t immediately...

“If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM...”
– Rosemarie Urquico, NOT ROBERT PATTINSON. DAMN, people. Stop unquestionably believing whatever is put in front of you. It’s a dangerous habit to get into. Use your head.

I have a difficult time finding porn.
Because I can’t get aroused by porn that includes:
Lesbians with long nails 20 minutes of blowjob Ejaculation on the face Obviously fake boobs Tons of makeup Calling guys “master” or something Weird noises (Well, I watch porn on mute anyways)
I’m ready for more porn that actually deviates from these. Come on, porn industry. It’s not that difficult :|

I can't watch anything where cheating is a plot...
the-maddest-scientist:
I just keep thinking to myself “Why on earth aren’t they in an open relationship?” “Why is this such a big deal?”
Then I remember that most of the world considers monogamy to be the default option and I feel sad.
This. This x100000. Cheating is awful. If you want to be in a monogamous relationship, do it. If you want to be in a polyandrous relationship, do that....

I’m sorry, but if you haven’t had sex multiple times before you’re 18, and the only reason is that you’re afraid of being called a slut, you’re missing out.
Oh, you sillly, judgmental, ignorant 15 year olds...

Can You Tell The Difference Between A Men’s...
Well, this is upsetting. According to a new study, people can’t tell the difference between quotes from British “lad mags” and interviews with convicted rapists. And given the choice, men are actually more likely to agree with the rapists.
The University of Surrey reports on the study, to be published in the British Journal of Psychology. Researchers gave a group of men and...

Dear fellow white people, →
yummydick:
Things we should internalize about racism:
We can be “nice,” “smart,” “compassionate,” “caring” and racist at the same time. None of these are mutually exclusive.
It doesn’t matter if we didn’t mean to be racist. Intentions don’t matter. Actions & consequences do.
Just because you “don’t hate people of color” doesn’t mean you’re not racist. Racism is subtle, sub-conscious, and...

“I’ve Noticed That Everybody That Is For Abortion Has Already Been Born.”
– Ronald Reagan, quoted in New York Times, 22 September 1980 (via howcomeyourejoven)
I still maintain that this is one of the stupidest quotes by Ronald Reagan, which is a pretty big deal.

Everyone for EVERYTHING has already been born and this is why the CAN be “for”...

This is an incredible piece of writing on the phenomenon that has become a meme of sorts, “What about teh menz?”. I really enjoyed this, instant follow.

So You Made A Rape Joke
ok4rj:
So you made a rape joke and now people are, like, really, really mad at you. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt; maybe you were at a party and the booze made your common sense slip away from you or maybe you were making what you viewed as a flippantly humorous remark on Facebook. Either way, you probably didn’t mean any harm, right? So what’s the big deal?

stfuprolife:
skinnydippinnbassfishin3394:
think about it.
People who use this make me wonder if they even love their moms. Obviously, as an embryo/fetus, I would not be aware of such actions taking place and would not give a single fuck. And now, if my mother was pregnant again, I would support whatever choice she decided for her body. Why? Because I love my mom.

“No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.”
– Voltaire. It’s actually somewhat startling how well this quote relates to privilege and how it hurts minority groups. I think I’m going to make it my go-to from now on when the “I’m not racist, so don’t talk to me about racism” refrain comes rolling back around. (via uhuh-she-said)
Good quote. ...
