derikrose:
i understand the intent and meaning here (and similarly, with dreadlocks). but i just don’t see the point of any argument that claims that it’s ‘racist’ for people to look a certain way. it seems totally essentialist to claim that a hairstyle is ‘off limits’ to everyone except those with a…

The best part of this essay is when she advocates for children to be brought up with no gender-role stereotyping, and gets in some not-so-subtle digs at heterocentricism and heterosexism in the process.

Textbooks are fucking expensive, and if your professor doesn’t require a physical copy (most don’t - they just want you to have the book at hand. Or maybe even not. Some professors literally give no fucks about whether you have the book or not) and you don’t mind having your…

Okay. Guys. Guys. Two things.
1) I’m a martial artist. I’ve been studying since I was seven. I wouldn’t even hesitate to say that I’m good at it. I have done work as a fight choreographer for film, and I am trained in stage combat as well.
2) I’m a contortionist. Yes….
annieherself asked: Gotcha. In defense of the program though, as someone who's done in, a lot of the meetings and everything focuses on the health benefits of losing weight. The woman who lead the meetings I went to would talk about how she used to be unable to walk to the end of her driveway without getting winded and generally how her quality of life had improved by losing a LOT of unnecessary weight. The...
annieherself asked: Out of curiosity, how do you see Jennifer Hudson's use of and subsequent endorsement of the Weight Watchers program as fat shaming? If I'm remembering the commercials correctly she never put anyone down about it and it was just the typical "Hey I lost a bunch of weight, this works!"

– Why Women Aren’t Crazy (via lagrandefille)
I hate when people claim that women are crazy or complicated or don’t know what they want because fuck you. When a woman is vocal about her opinions, desires, feelings, you call her a bitch or crazy or hysterical. Women have been taught that the only way...
Does anyone else do that thing where they go back through their blog randomly, see something problematic and try and decide if it should be deleted or make an apology or something? I do that a lot but I think it would be weird if I was like “sorry for the post I made that no longer exists and since you have no reference you have no idea what I’m talking about but sorry anyways”.

I hate the mall. I got hit on 4 times today although it was more like a rude invasion. Well hit on 3 times. The third was a guy loudly telling his friends that “the redhead can get it anytime”.
And then I got very rudely referred to as a “fat chick”.
I hate people.
