I’m sorry, but if someone said this about a woman, it would not be funny. I hate the idea that it’s okay for women to be sexist toward men because sexism towards females is more prominent. This is why I don’t consider myself a feminist, but rather an equalist.
…”someone” says this about women all the time. Someone by the name of EVERYONE.
This reminds me of that time…
How Are You I'm Fine Thanks: because it seems necessary to say this: →
Men’s Rights Activists, why do you think people are laughing at you?
It’s not because we think you shouldn’t have rights or that your problems don’t matter. I want men to be able to wear pink and drink fruity drinks and wear makeup and engage in other perhaps unfairly stereotypical…
On Rape Culture →
Gentlemen. This is what rape culture is like:
Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you bought it because you like the way it looks and you wanted to treat yourself. And then you get beaten and mugged and your Rolex is stolen. So you go to the police. Only, instead of investigating the crime, the police want to know why you were wearing a Rolex instead of a regular watch. Have you ever given a Rolex to anyone else? Is it possible you wanted to be mugged? Why didn’t you wear long sleeves to cover up the Rolex if you didn’t want to be mugged?
And then after that, everywhere you go, there are constant jokes about stealing your Rolex. People you don’t even know whistle at your Rolex and make jokes about cutting your hand off to get it. The media doesn’t help either; it portrays people who wear Rolexes as flamboyant assholes who secretly just want someone to come along and take that Rolex off their hands. When damn, all you wanted was to wear a nice watch without getting harassed for it. When you complain that you are starting to feel unsafe, people laugh you off and say that you are too uptight. Never mind you got violently attacked for the crime of wearing a friggin time piece.
Imagining all that? It sucks, doesn’t it.
Now imagine you could never take the Rolex off.
This is what rape culture is like:
Female bodies and autonomy need to be commodified/compared to material possessions in order to be emphasized as a thing deserving of value and respect to the privileged male population.
reblogging it again for the commentary because fucking ouch
Oxford University students on why we need feminism
What about why we need equality.

Just a casual reminder that the Les Mis AU I'm cowriting is posted →
You should check it out. It would make me very happy.
the guy in the taco bell drive thru just accidentally said “have a nice day I love you” and I thoughtlessly responded “love you too” and we just sort of stared at each other for a second before I drove away
I think this is the direction in which my relationship with the guy who’s always working the drive thru at my local Taco Bell is heading.
He called me booskets last week. I don’t even know what that means.
So my former roommate and I started a thing.
It’s a Les Miserables AU that’s focused mainly on Les Amis de L’ABC.
You should maybe check it out.
