She had stayed a virgin so she wouldn’t be called a tramp or a slut; had married so she wouldn’t be called an old maid; faked orgasms so she wouldn’t be called frigid; had children so she wouldn’t be called barren; had not been a feminist because she didn’t want to be called queer and a man-hater; never nagged or raised her voice so she wouldn’t be called a bitch… She had done all that and yet, still, this stranger had dragged her into the gutter with the names that men call women when they are angry.

Can we talk about this please… (Taken with instagram)
I always want to talk about this and also crafts kids do around thanksgiving at school. It makes me so uncomfortable and I am worried I that when I am a teacher that out will be in the curriculum to make headbands with feathers and have the girls braid their hair.
Two non-offensive alternatives to the term “spirit animal”
- Daemon - The only one you’re appropriating is Pullman and by appropriating Pullman you’re upsetting no-one, save possibly the Pope.
- Patronus - Wizards everywhere are more than willing to lend you this term and the geekiness is an added bonus. I just read that geeks are sexy, or so says the Metro, so, there you go, a patronus is clearly your next ascribed accessory.
Patronus!

I’m just so sick of having to constantly congratulate men for not being total misogynists.

feministfilm who is absolutely correct in arguing that, while it is great to see feminist men, it is tiring to have to spend so much time being impressed and congratulating something that should be done by common sense and nature. A.K.A. being “radical” enough to treat women as human beings and not some kind of sub-species of humanity. (via larosson)
I find it so irritating that when I stand up for women’s rights or identify myself as a feminist, I’m scorned and painted as a man-hating bitch when a man is congratulated and seen as progressive when he does the same thing.

Men Get Raped Too - A response. (TW)
This is an incredible piece of writing on the phenomenon that has become a meme of sorts, “What about teh menz?”. I really enjoyed this,…
You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”.
