“If a woman is a radical feminist, like most radicals she will not be able to...”

All I will say about this is that it must be a privilege to not call yourself a feminist; to idealistically believe that women have control over their bodies among other falsehoods and that just because this person might be the...

mmmfeminism:
New Years gives me the same feeling as losing my “virginity”. Everyone is like “Oooh its going to be so exciting you should blah blah blah”
…its never as much fun as people make it seem.
Amirite?
Not that “losing my virginity” (or virginities, really) wasnt fun… but yeah, pretty much on the same page.

today a kid in my english class was like “hey tavi, why isn’t there riot MAN?” and i was like “uh because practically everything else in rock is riot man?”
and it reminded me of the time in history when this kid was like “why isn’t there a course for MEN’s history?” and i was like “uh you’re taking it”

So this is really cool
rabblevolunteer:
I have an IP tracking service on the other blog that I’ve been using for awhile. It tells me how many hits the site gets, who visits, how long people visit, etc. And it’s shocking how many people from all over the world (literally) read the other blog.
We have people in countries like Georgia, South Korea, and the Philippines visit our site regularly. I’ve even seen people with...

– J.K. Rowling (via libraryland)
I got into a discussion about the Salvation Army on Facebook with one of my friends. She doesn’t support Harry Potter, or any ‘make believe’, characters for her own son (a toddler). Her argument was that she only wants to give him things that are supported by facts...

Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid
turnofffox:
Yet another study has been released that proves that watching Fox News is detrimental to your intelligence. World Public Opinion, a project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, conducted a survey of American voters that shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources....

LADIES! Stop the bodysnarking! What is it doing us to put eachother down by judging our hips, our stomachs, the folds in our necks? You call a girl a fat or anorexic bitch, and she’ll never fully trust her sisters again.

THANK YOU
So much so much so much.

if you are that concerned with someone else’s level of feminism, then maybe the real issue you have is with yourself. You can not rely on anyone else to define what makes you a feminist. It is not possible, there are no tests to prove your ability to call out female hating bullshit, you know it…
YES. THIS.

dearcoketalk:
Just because it’s somebody’s job to work against gay marriage, doesn’t necessarily mean he agrees with it. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. Either way, dude’s gotta pay the bills.
Bullshit.
He’s an asshole if he lobbies against gay marriage, but if he lobbies against gay marriage in spite of his personal convictions, then he’s also the worst kind of whore.
Paying the bills is no...

I’m gonna rewrite the song ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ and make it so the person leaving actually gets to leave, and the other person is like, ‘Alright, it was nice having you over, I totally respect your boundaries and understand that no means no, and we can hang out tomorrow if you want!’
It won’t be a very long song.
