I will never be able to say this enough.

Yes they are. Just depends how ridiculous they are.

No, they are not. And it doesn’t depend on anything.

Rape is not funny. Therefore rape jokes are not funny. Why is this so hard?

I honestly think some people are secretly monkey’s behind that computer screen: RAPE IS NEVER FUNNY. If you think raping someone is funny, unfollow now.

Of course some white cis pothead male is gonna say rape jokes are funny ughhh not surprised

ok im offended. people fuck off. “white cis pothead male”. excuse me. i am white male and cis, and i enjoy pot. and i am fucking tired of people shitting on ALL white male cis. I am very supportive in the queer community. And if the queer community wants more support, it should stop fucking attacking and generalizing, something that if done to them they would freak out. this is just stupid. be above all that, don’t stoop to the same level as it. if you do, we will never move forward as one, peaceful, loving people.

You’re offended by people “shitting on” white cis males? Do you wonder how PoCs, trans*, females, some combination of all of the above or some of the above feel? We’re shit on way more than you. So think about that when your feelings are hurt. Because when we generalize about you, it ends up hurting your feelings at worst more often than not. Whereas when we’re generalized about it results in problematic stereotyping, discrimination, hate crimes, death, etc.

Everything about your reblog was problematic. I’m only addressing that part because I don’t feel like dealing with this right now.

Poor cis white men, how sad is it that some people won’t let you enjoy rape jokes in peace

“Stop shitting on white cis men who make rape jokes gawd!”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at this.

If the roles were reversed nobody would be laughing.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Apparently, this isn’t her first time doing something like this, either.

And does anyone else find it interesting that it says that she “demanded too much sex”? If it had been a male nympho and a female victim, anyone else think it would have been worded differently?

Here’s an example from the same site. Oh, the hypocrisy.

What’s even more disgusting is the comments. “He’s a pansy.” “Oh, I wish this could happen to me.” “Where’s her contact information?” “MAN UP!”

If a woman’s raped, it’s an atrocity. If a man’s raped, it’s a punchline - and it’s not even worth labeling “rape,” even though it is.

Patriarchy. Hurts. Everyone.

Why it really bothers me and makes me cringe when religious quote verses like “treat your women with kindness” (especially Muslims) to show that how their religion supports “equality”.

"The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves,..."

Thu, 17 May 2012 12:42:33 -0400

“The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves, in engaging in unsafe exercise, and in seeking out weight loss by any means necessary. A thin person who does these things is considered mentally ill. A fat person who does these things is redeemed by them. This is why our culture has no concept of a fat person who also has an eating disorder. If you’re fat, it’s not an eating disorder — it’s a lifestyle change.”

- Lesley Kinzel (via curvesahead)

I will always reblog this because it is so so important.

(via infinitetransit)

I just want to nail this to every stable surface I can find. I cannot count the amount of times that I’ve seen fat folks being encouraged, cajoled, and even forced into behaviors that would be recognized as disordered eating/exercising patterns in thin folks.

Pretty much everything that’s done on shows like The Biggest Loser would be called out as pro-ana/pro-orthorexia in a thin person. Exercising past the point that it hurts, to the point where you’re throwing up, even injuring yourself? Berating yourself because you didn’t lose ENOUGH weight this week? Constantly talking about how fat is weakness and thinness will make everything better, about how you can’t stand to be your current weight anymore? Emphasis on weight as a sign of how much control, strength, and worth you have? Viewing food as bad, as a temptation to sin? Constant sharing and talking about tips on how to minimize food intake, how to lose weight?

That sounds exactly like every pro-ana/pro-mia blog I’ve ever seen. It’s also what fat people are told we need to be doing to ourselves until we’re thin.

"Not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal..."

Wed, 16 May 2012 13:06:44 -0400

““Not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal safety strategies. A woman should be able to walk down the street at 4 in the morning in nothing but her socks, blind drunk, without being assaulted, and I, for one, am not going to do anything to imply that she is in any way responsible for her own assault if she fails to Adequately Protect Herself. Men aren’t helpless dick-driven maniacs who can’t help raping a vulnerable woman. It disrespects EVERYONE.””

-
Emily Nagoski. no idea who she is, but i thank her. there is no excuse for rape and anyone who excuses it is insulting both the victim and the rapist. (via rapeisnotajoke)

There are two arguments I’ve noticed

“Women should prepare themselves better if they don’t want to get raped”

ALL MEN AREN’T RAPISTS/It’s not fair that women accuse me of being a rapist/I get called creepy all the time

So basically we have to prepare ourselves all the time, but if we ever give a man the sense that we view them as a misogynistic/violent threat - that’s unfair.

hmm…

Thoughts during finals:

Some majors go through college and learn and collect information and come out feeling vastly more intelligent and knowledgeable than before. (And rightly so.)

Philosophy majors graduate panicking about everything that they don’t know and aren’t sure about and knowing more is only really the realization that you know so fucking little.

As much as I will miss my classes, they’re always going to stick with me no matter what. Because they confuse the fuck out of you, and everyone makes good points, and there’s no “objective” answer and it kind of consumes all your free thought.

torayot:

Two topics I am interested in are 19th - early 20th century Siam/Thailand and gender dissimulation.

This photographic image from 1900 shows a Siamese woman in traditional dress. She is wearing a loincloth, known as sarong or chongkraben in Thai. This covers the waist to the knees, and is formed with a length of cloth wrapped around the waist and thighs which is then passed through the legs before being secured. She also has the sides of her head shaved, leaving only a topknot and two locks in front of her ears. There is a cord around her shoulder that is looped round her torso, but otherwise her upper body is completely bare, leaving her breasts completely uncovered. Men would also present themselves in a similar way - bare chested, loincloth only, partially shaved head. (Unfortunately I cannot readily find information on Thai non-binary identities and presentation with my limited resources, which makes me sad and frustrated.)

Please observe the next image:

(source)

Dating from several decades later, between 1935 - 1945, it is a poster which shows proper Thai dress, as circumscribed by Marshal Plaek Pibulsonggram. He issued a series of Thai cultural mandates (many of which are still de facto in effect today) that described appropriately civilised behaviour as befitting Thai citizens.

The left hand side shows inappropriate dress, which are described in text below the picture. Examples of dress, grooming, and carriage now deemed uncouth include:

Wearing a sarong

Sporting a completely bare torso

Having a shaved head

Wearing an “Indian hat” or head covering/wrapping.

Binding one’s chest or wearing only undergarments to partially conceal one’s upper body

Carrying loads upon one’s head

Dress and comportment considered acceptable were as follows:

Wearing uniforms;

“International style” attire

‘Polite’ versions of traditional dress, such as pha sin/pha toong

Wearing longer hair

Ensuring they wear presentable garments which are clean and neat

These orders were applicable to everyone.

Notice that they clearly erase any ethnic and cultural markers (indeed, the mandates explictly erased all identities and referred to all Thailanders as “Thai”) and, returning to the topic at hand, dissimulated gender by prescribing hair and dress according to norms which could perhaps be described as recognisably Euro-American.

One day I will do more research on why and how this came about, &c.

Ahhh oh my god this is so amazing and i want to know so much more about it.

Okay, so the idea is nice.

But wtf this chart makes no sense.
And by keeping the pink for “girls” and the blue for “boys” it’s sending kind of a confusing message. Like… keeping with the social connotations of the colors, “girl” parts of me are feminine and “boy” parts are masculine, which isn’t really true.

idk maybe it’s just me.

he bought you dinner, you do owe him sex

otherwise why did you go on the date? he didn’t do it to spend time with you, you’re a shrill dullard. he doesn’t give a shit about your AA hire career, he actually earned his position. he went on the date because he wants sex. you went on the date because you’re a conceited gold digger.

the revolution is coming ladies, less and less men are putting up with your intolerable behavior and hysterics. you brought this on yourselves, don’t blame me for pointing it out. you poisoned the waters, and men aren’t drinking from them anymore.

essentially you’re saying all men have ulterior motives if they want to go out on a date with a woman. you’re painting men in a really poor light which is a shame.

i hope this is satire.

if not, i’m not surprised your blog is filled with “I need masculism because…” posts.

Second this.

Glad it’s not just me that finds it hilarious that MRAs like this will say “feminists just try to paint all men as sex crazy fiends and that’s sexist”, and then say “this guy went on a date just to have sex with you.”

OP, this is me getting a gang of dudes to vomit on you, this ridiculously misgynistic post, & any dude who agrees with either.
may all your bacon burn.

may the “forever alone” meme be your foreverGPOY.

Somebody’s daddy should jacked off that time instead of having sex. Clearly.

If that’s how any guy I date is thinking, the only thing I owe him is payment my half of the damn meal.

otherwise, i don’t owe that nigga SHIT.

This fucker is the poster child for blow jobs AND masturbation instead of PIV sex.

Naw, fuck dat. He’s the poster child for dry humping.

I just want him to get everything he deserves for writing posts like this one. I mean absolutely everything, so that he can learn exactly why he’s been on a global no-fuck list all his life.

This needs more notes just to show how much of a douchecanoe the OP is to the maximum of people.

lol ”masculism”

This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:

The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.

According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.

When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.

So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

/An atheist who understands Christian theology better than Bible-thumpers do.

no shit, you were raised to think theyre a diff, separate sub-species from you

and

clearly its never occurred to you to try to understand women as individuals. you want a basic, easy formula thats going to work on every single woman because you dont actually believe theyre all diff humans w diff personalities and diff shit that makes them tick.

Thank God I’m Pretty- Emilie Autumn

Have I posted this before?

Thank God I’m pretty
The occasional free drink I never asked for
The occasional admission to a seedy little bar
Invitation to a stranger’s car
I’m blessed
With the ability to rend a grown man tongue-tied
Which only means that when it’s dark outside
I have to run and hide can’t look behind me
Thank God I’m pretty

Thank God I’m pretty
Every skill I ever have will be in question
Every ill that I must suffer merely brought on by myself
Though the cops would come for someone else
I’m blessed
I’m truly privilaged to look this good without clothes on
Which only means that when I sing you’re jerking off
And when I’m gone you won’t remember
Thank God I’m pretty

Thank you God
Oh, lord
Thank you God
Oh, oh and when a gaggle of faces appears around me
It’s lucky I hate to be taken seriously
I think my ego would fall right through the cracks in the floor
If I couldn’t count on men to slap my ass anymore
I know my destiny’s such, that I’m all stocking and curl
So everybody thinks that I’m a fucking suicide girl

Thank you God
For the occasional champagne I never asked for
The occasional admission to a seedy little bar
Invitation to a stranger’s car
I’m blessed
With the ability to rend a grown man tongue-tied
Which only means that when it’s dark outside
I have to run and hide can’t look behind me
Thank God I’m pretty
