“Why do they always teach us that it’s easy and evil to do what we want and that...”
– Ayn Rand (via indicio)
Really hate Ayn Rand’s philosophy. Knowing that this quote has a darker meaning than its surface would imply really spoils my ability to appreciate words I would normally agree with. Her philosophy is ignorant, apathetic, condescending, and unhelpful. She was simply a...
“You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated....”
– Stephenie Meyer, Breaking Dawn (via palleo)
Wow, this quote is horribly written. It’s difficult to imagine that this book was indeed published. Of course, American authors aren’t exactly known for their great writing skills, so perhaps the demands for good writing dropped as the...

I’ve been reading a lot of posts about circumcision lately, and I have read so many comments that go along the line of either comparing it to something that IS infected and dangerous to your health like tonsils, or saying something like “keep away from my baby’s penis,…
“Radical feminists have been making the pitch that justice demands that men and...”
– Rick Santorum, in “It Takes a Family”
Because equal opportunities are obviously such a radical notion.

There’s nothing radical about that concept. What a gross man.

You watch Switch At Birth and think, “No fair Bay gets to sign with all these great Deaf people, I sign way better!!!”
She does suck.. It’s kind of funny. She’s getting better way faster than most people, though, which is cool to watch.

My Ignorant Coworker Strikes Again!
Male coworker: Feminism isn't real.
Me: [confused] Yes, it is. I'm a feminist.
Male coworker: [snarky] What does it even support anymore?
Me: Tons of things that go under the radar in our culture. For example, getting rid of that double standard where men are revered for sleeping around, and women are shamed.
Male coworker: [harshly, loudly] That's because men do the fucking, and women get fucked.
Me: That's... Completely wrong.
Male coworker: No, it's not. You can tell when a woman's loose because her vagina's loose, too.
Me: Okay, that's 99% a myth. Vaginas come in all shapes and sizes. Some women may open up, but that's a sign of arousal, definitely not bad, and never permanent.
Male coworker: Oh my God. Feminist bullshittery.
Me: ...No.

I think I'm going to join my campus's VOX club.
Idk what a VOX club is… All I know is that they’re in support of Planned Parenthood, women’s reproductive rights, and being an ally to LGBTQ people.
Chinese proverb
With money you can buy a house, but not a home. With money you can buy a clock, but not time. With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep. With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge. With money you can buy a doctor, but not good health. With money you can buy a position, but not respect. With money you can buy blood, but not life. With money you can buy sex, but not love.
group of young men across the street, me by myself...
Dudes: Nice hair kinky pinky!
Me: -ignores, continues walking-
Dudes: Wow. She doesn't even say thank you.
Me: -stops, turns around- It's very impolite to yell things across the street at someone.
Dudes: fuck you bitch!

“If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, that’s not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. The progress comes from healing the wound that the blow made. They haven’t even begun to pull the knife out. They won’t even admit the knife is there.”
—Malcolm X

You guys will not believe what happened today.
I just joined a new support group. Today was the first day. During introductions, the leader of the group asked me what my preferred pronouns were, and I said “male pronouns”. Sounds like a great guy, right? Yeah. That’s what I thought, too.
Later on in...

rumor has it.: I am so tired of hearing people... →
gotoextremes:
I am so tired of hearing people talk about switched at birth and how it got them all kinds of interested in asl! Yes, the main characters are deaf actors, and yes they can sign, but NONE of that show display’s any kind of deaf culture….
Notice how the whole time there is signing, there are captions. What they need to have is someone signing the speaking parts. Have you ever ...

Santorum: Being Female is a Mental Disorder →
mrsjojharrison:
It has been my experience that when dealing with females, you need to treat them as though they have a mental disorder… especially those that are constantly seeking equality in the workplace, the military, and in the home. Women need to know their place and need to know when it is okay for them to speak. They were put on this earth for two reasons, and two reasons alone: taking...

They tries to be this super accepting place, but it has no sense of where to draw the line.
Transethnicism?
Transableism?
No. You shouldn’t encourage that.
Transethnicism because that perpetuates the ideas that people of different races are different. The idea in itself is racist in that way.
Transableism? No. And apparently it’s a disorder,...

white cis feminists who think their oppression for...
(Uhh… I don’t want them to choke…) Definitely want them to reexamine their attitudes and knowledge base. Really, every form of social activist can benefit from stepping back and examining their privilege and just and hierarchy of concerns. Do we only validate feminisms and other activisms that cater to our personal self-image and life experiences? Great post.
