(tw: rape, rape culture) Cheerleader must compensate school that told her to clap for her rapist:

truth-has-a-liberal-bias:

A teenage girl who was dropped from her high school’s cheerleading squad after refusing to chant the name of a basketball player who had sexually assaulted her must pay compensation of $45,000 (£27,300) after losing a legal challenge against the decision.

The United States Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a review of the case brought by the woman, who is known only as HS. Lower courts had ruled that she was speaking for the school, rather than for herself, when serving on a cheerleading squad – meaning that she had no right to stay silent when coaches told her to applaud.

she-hulk-smash:

Yes, recognize our humanity by allowing us to marry.

But, you should also recognize it by not killing us, beating us, or driving us to suicide. The violence doesn’t end once the Supreme Court decides we deserve marital rights. It is bigger than that. It always has been.

The meme with Joseph Gordon Levitt, it's about his character in the movie (500) days of summer - in which he's essentially a nice guy and Zooey Deschanel turns out to be his Maniac Pixie Dream Girl.

Trigger Warning: Ariel’s waist made me starve myself.

THIS is why it’s important to talk about problems within Disney. GUESS WHAT, THEY IMPACT PEOPLE. Just because it’s Disney doesn’t mean it’s all sweetness and light!

THIS is why it’s important to have heroines who look real. I don’t give a shit about your “Disney look” if it’s harming women. And it is.

THIS! Also, the amount of shaming going on in the comments in gross. Just because Ariel did not influence how you viewed yourself, does not mean she did not influence other people. Its not just Disney characters that make girls want to be thin. They are only bombarded with images of very thin girls and women in the media. That is a huge problem because it does affect women’s body image. While Ariel never influenced my body image, that doesn’t mean it is true for all women.

So I just discovered this “Nice Guy TM” meme. Love it.

omfg that’s actually a really good character to pick

like the scene where he’s on a blind date and the girl says “so basically she was completely honest with u the whole time….how is this her problem????”

Is this just him or is it a character?

“When I first came up with the #suicide quote it was just that, a quote. I knew I wanted to make a sign but I have horrible handwriting and didn’t really know how to do it and that’s where Billy comes in. I was in Cleveland and the show was pretty slow. I had seen Billy do some drawings that kicked butt on tour so I said “hey do you think you can write this quote for me” and he said heck yeah. A few minutes later the sign was done.I never wanted recognition from this and that’s why my name is not in the sign but I feel Billy deserves to be recognized. Without him the sign wouldn’t be the same so thanks for everything man.” -Carlitos

“It’s easy to be considered a misandrist when men are socialized to feel entitled to women and our time. So, if you ignore them, you’re a misandrist. If you insist they leave you alone, you’re a misandrist. If you focus on building healthy female-centered relationships over relationships with men, you’re a misandrist. Misandry is basically, prioritizing your agency, autonomy and fellow women, over men in a society that teaches you that being feminine relies on giving into men’s feelings of entitlement.”
