For the men who have commented saying “Shut up! Don’t you think I’m tired of Clorox and other cleaning supply commercials being targeted at only women? Just get over it! Sexism is everywhere! There’s no need to get offended over this commercial being targeted at men because the reverse happens all the time.” - don’t you think that I’m just as offended by those cleaning supply...

saffiremoon21 asked: I'm the girl who posted the thing you reblogged about fetuses not being people. Thank you for understanding what I meant. (I'm still new to discussing my opinions on controversial subjects on the internet!) I do understand that fetuses are composed of human components, but they're not human in the way that I'm human. I guess I should have said "person" in the...
housebuiltbyghosts asked: Hey! Big fan of your blog! I am sort of at a cross roads of my own in terms of my own activism in day to day life ( I am a feminist, and a very strong supporter of human rights and animal welfare). I want to speak out about what I believe in but don't want to antagonize/alienate others or tell them unfairly how to live their own lives. My boyfriend and family have suggested I express my...
junipearl asked: loved your response to the asherfreak rant on feminism. very well articulated. it is so darn frustrating that "feminism" is still used synonymously with misandy in this day and age. a girl i was discussing things with the other day claimed to be a feminist, while in the same conversation making derogatory comments about people with different skin colors (my response is in my blog if you...

You ARE a Liberal if you: Espouse liberal views, are not racist, are not sexist, do not discriminate based on sexual orientation, do not discriminate against non-cis-people, do not support legislation hurting or overtly supporting one religion over another, etc.
You are NOT: Not a racist, not sexist, not discriminatory JUST for CALLING yourself a “Liberal”. You...

To find people who are seemingly progressive, but still harbor and play out oppressive ideas and acts. LGBTQ members and allies who call bisexual people greedy, democrats who are sexist, liberal college professors who teach sexist material, family members (who are as liberal as they come) expressing racist, sexist, and sizeist sentiments.
One of the hardest lessons I have had to learn is that...

i appreciate when people are honest with me but it’s still difficult to intake biphobia from people who are revered as champions of ‘our movement’.
Agreed. When prominent people for LGBT rights (in any community) express biphobic sentiments, it takes away all of their credibility to me.

So I recently reblogged a quote about feminism that I believe warrants some discussion. Feel free to ignore this if it you’re easily offended or don’t care (ha! as if anyone was going to read this anyway).

Anonymous asked: "wouldn’t aborted fetuses (who aren’t human anyway) end up in Purgatory (or wherever non-human beings go)?" —— those fetuses are human though. they are just not human beings, but definitely of the human species. what are you thinking "human" means?

why do people always feel the necessity to ‘teach men and boys not to rape’.
Go here. It will explain it. Oh that and the fact that like 90 something percent of rapes are committed by men… fucking duh.

Seven Things You Can Do To End Violence Against...
skycloudsky:
1. Educate yourself about the causes and consequences of violence against women and girls. 2. Listen to girls and women you know to learn from them and their experiences. 3. Challenge sexist language and jokes that degrade women and girls. 4. Learn to recognize and oppose violence and harassment of women and girls in your school, community and family. 5. Examine how your own...
ediddy21:
A fetus cannot feel or think and all the horrible little poems about aborted fetuses crying to God in Heaven are not going to change that fact.
(Also, I’m not totally well-versed in Christian beliefs, but don’t Catholics think that only baptized people go to Heaven? Therefore, wouldn’t aborted fetuses (who aren’t human anyway) end up in Purgatory (or wherever non-human beings go)?)

Feminism and Why I Don't Support It

So I recently reblogged a quote about feminism that I believe warrants some discussion. Feel free to ignore this if it you’re easily offended or don’t care (ha! as if anyone was going to read this anyway).
So. I have a problem with feminism. A disagreement, if you will. You see, feminism was necessary in the 1800s. And most of the 1900s. But in the 21st century? Not so much.

The original Cinderella was the first movie I watched for my class on Gender Politics & Pop Culture. This portion of the class is based on fairy tales and feminism, so I have to watch 4 more movies typically from Disney.
I’ll tell you what, after just looking a little deeper into the context of the story and character development, what the fuck. There are so many little hidden...
