real women
Posted on June 23, 2011
Excuse me while I throw this down, I’m old and cranky and tired of hearing the idiocy repeated by people who ought to know better.
Real women do not have curves. Real women do not look like just one thing.
Real women have curves, and not. They are tall, and not. They are brown-skinned, and olive-skinned, and not. They have small...

Thin privilege is not having your gender identity denied because of your fatness; growing up conditioned so that whenever someone refers to you in passing using correct gender specific pronouns you feel grateful.
(added after): Fat people are not the only people to experience this.
Also on the other side, thin privilige is being able to pass as androgynous if you so wish....

The amount of marriage-, pregnancy-, and fuck-wishing going in the Tom Hiddleston fandom is frankly disturbing, and probably very creepy on his part.
And saddening. Our society doesn’t teach women well how to engage meaningfully with a man other than through sex and marriage.
This has been your daily “Fuck You, Patriarchy” moment.

I can’t believe the people who work with this guy. Do the allegations of rape by models mean absolutely nothing? Jared Leto and Lady Gaga lost me with...

maybe she sent her friends to collect her records and then changed her number because you’re the kind of self-aggrandizing asshole to write angry songs about your ex-girlfriends you jerk

Dear Tyler Oakley, Daniel Tosh, and like-minded dudes,
You don’t get it.
You just don’t get it.
In theory, you’re not incapable of getting it - after all, not making light of violent crime is a fairly low rung on the decent human being ladder - but you have made it clear that you not only don’t understand, but that you don’t want to understand.
Tyler, you characterized the...

(via iamateenagefeminist)
Hmm
Been looking back over some writing/blogs/tumblring, and I’ve noticed how I’ve used gendered slurs.
Sorry. It’s a habit I’ve been working on breaking.

“Women invented all the core technologies that made civilization possible. This...”
– from a post by Reclusive Leftist on women’s erasure in history.
her comments relate specifically to an article by the NYT thanking “the men” who invented modern technology, but pick absolutely any academic field of study, and women’s contributions are minimized, if not outright ignored.

Female privilege is feminism.
lolololololololololol
OKAY THEN
Oh, of COURSE. Because living in a patriarchy is SUCH a privilege that us misandrist bitches just can’t appreciate how good we’ve got it…
Just saw this quote: “It’s easier to love and nurture a child than fix an adult”
As a broken adult at this point in time, that made me feel like the world doesn’t think I’m worth fixing.
And I was having a couple good days there too. Fuck :(
Everyone deserves love, care and respect. Us (pretending to be) grown ups aren’t some monstrous, unfixable monolith. We...

Things people have pointed out about the Penny Arcade Kickstarter I didn’t catch:
$250,000 doesn’t actually get rid of all the ads, it gets rid of ONE AD. They want ONE MILLION DOLLARS in donations before they’ll take all the ads off
This is only for a year and they’re planning to run one of these next year too

As much as her latest politics have pissed me right off, this book was a real click moment.
I dyed my hair a completely different colour over the weekend. Drastically different.
So today, whenever I encounter someone who is seeing my new do for the first time, it’s hilarious to watch their faces go into “Woman has changed appearance; looking for compliment” mode.
“Oh new hair c-” “Yes, it is.”
“You’ve dyed your hair-”...

A list of links that folks can add to! This was requested as a follow-up to Writing Characters of Color. Please be forewarned: I apologize in advance if I link to something that turns out to be wrong, or unhelpful. I try to skim everything to make sure it’s a good resource, but I don’t have the time or means to read every single thing word for word before I post this list. Please let...
