omg at my christmas dinner my cousin was like “pass the peas, by the way im lesbian” cRYING
femme is genderqueer. because it’s gender, queered. it’s femininity without the passivity. it’s holding on to the parts of femininity that we love (and that is different for each femme) and mashing it up with all sorts of things that are considered unfeminine, like being assertive, or loud. divas are genderqueer. they are femme. they are all the performance of femininity minus the docility.

fuck the patriarchy
i get that this is a fluff site but it’s still sickening how prominent and accepted this is in our culture. this shit is the front news article of yahoo!, what is that supposed to communicate to women?!
That our bodies serve a specific purpose, and it is the viewing pleasure of men. Obviously, you should be picking your swimsuit based on the male gaze and not on, y’know, what makes you feel happy and good about yourself.
“A few even compared the concept as being synonymous to men wearing T-shirts in the pool.”
Get it? ‘Cuz men are ENTITLED to look at and judge our nearly naked bodies, so tankinis are CHEATING.
In related news, all the men who participated in this survey met afterwards to drink Jaeger bombs and high five each other while yelling “No fatties!”, where they were all murdered by an unknown 6’1” blonde assailant wearing a t-shirt saying “MISANDRY 4 LIFE”.
OH GOODIE, I don’t think women as a whole were concerned enough about what they looked like in a swimsuit. It’s been at least 30 seconds since I’ve seen an ad referencing the phrase “bikini body” so obviously the patriarchy needs to work harder.
Plenty of oppressive bullshit goes down under the guise of nice. Every day, nice, caring, friendly people try to take our bodily autonomy away from us (women, queers, trans people, nonbinaries, fat people, POC…you name it, they just don’t think we know what’s good for us!). These people would hold a door for us if they saw us coming. Our enemies are not only the people holding ‘Fags Die God Laughs’ signs, they are the nice people who just feel like marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense, it’s just how they feel! We once got a very nice comment on this site that we decided we could not publish because its content was ‘But how can I respect women when they dress like – sorry to say it, pardon my language – sluts?’. This is vile, disgusting misogyny and no amount of sugar coating and politeness can make it okay. Similarly, most of the people who run ex-gay therapy clinics are actually very nice and polite! They just want to save you! Nicely! Clearly, niceness means FUCK ALL.

The Revolution Will Not Be Polite: The Issue of Nice versus Good (Social Justice League) I’ve been thinking about niceness a lot lately. I’m not sure it’s as beneficial as I used to think it was. (via meganwest) |
The only reason “coming out” is still even a thing is because it’s presumed that people are straight until they tell us otherwise. “The Other must identify itself, or else it is decieving us” is a fucked up, dangerous idea.

#can you imagine if atheists said that after everything they said #”I’d like a burger and fries please. Also there is no God.” #”Happy birthday Mom. Also there is no God.” #”The Avengers was a fucking great movie I want to see it again! Also there is no God.” #”That was the best sex I’ve ever had in my life. But there is still no God.”
What would be the atheist equivalent to ‘omg’?
oh my there is no god
I like to say “Oh your god” and “Oh My Gaga/Godga!”
JC Penney’s new ad for Father’s Day
The text reads:
“First Pals: What makes Dad so cool? He’s the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver—all rolled into one. Or two.” The text at the bottom reads: “Real-life dads, Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children Claire and Mason.”
This fills me with such good feelings.
Not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal safety strategies. A woman should be able to walk down the street at 4 in the morning in nothing but her socks, blind drunk, without being assaulted, and I, for one, am not going to do anything to imply that she is in any way responsible for her own assault if she fails to Adequately Protect Herself. Men aren’t helpless dick-driven maniacs who can’t help raping a vulnerable woman. It disrespects EVERYONE.
