i have no problem with pointing out that anyone of any gender can be an abuser, rapist, pedophile etc because that’s absolutely true.
but the problem with always emphasizing “yes but it happens to everyone, not just women (or people of colour, or trans* people, etc)!” is that it depoliticizes the issue.
violence is not an accident, it is reflective of social power relations...

“Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone...”
–
When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.
It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry...

if you’re in high school and you feel like your life is getting worse or like you’re getting sad you really need to just stop fucking blogging so much.
y’all just sit here and enable each other to feel sorry for yourselves and sit online all day just making it worse.
hang out with friends.
go outside.
do something.
nutbustin:
I just want to get a cute apartment with a cute person and wear nothing but underwear and a big t-shirt or sweater and dance around, cook for each other, make our own movies and record each other while we’re playing, smiling, and laughing, and lay in bed together at night snuggled up warm together so close that we can hear each others pulse.

Hardcore Anal Fisting: vaspim: In addition to body... →
vaspim:
In addition to body shaming, I just think people forget that men have insecurities, too. I have a bit of a little gut and obviously when I see girls reblog pics of like these ripped dudes with 6 pack abs I’m here stuffing my face thinking “wow I suck.” And I know this isn’t their…
divascreech:
i refuse to respect other people’s views if they oppress me and so should you
do not let people tell you that you should respect oppressive or intolerant views and do not let them make you feel guilty when you don’t
fuck them

things ppl say that alerts you to them being the actual worst:
john was my favourite beatle
abolishing religion would solve a lot of problems
i’m not a racist i hate all races equally
disliking someone because of their political affiliation is ridiculous
but if you think abou it stereotypes do exist for a reason
god, can you believe people on welfare own iphones
graceebooks:
men at large feel like they are being robbed of something when an attractive woman with a 90% chance of developing breast cancer gets a double mastectomy
what better illustration of the male sense of sexual entitlement do you need

A Reminder
secondhand-news:
Angelina Jolie’s breasts do not exist for your boner. If your first reaction to the news of her double mastectomy was ‘OMG but her boobies :(’ then you need to rethink your position on this planet.
how to be a "real woman": a guide
ofgeography:
1. do you identify as a woman
2. congratulations you’re a real woman
unironicgoth:
my favorite eye color is your eye color and my favorite height is your height and my favorite weight is your weight my favorite hands are your hands my favorite knees are your knees
boyqueen:
just a reminder
if you think that “masculine things” can be “gender-neutral” but that “feminine things” cannot be “gender-neutral” you need to pause and think a bit harder.

Doing a 12 minute pole-dance set complete with dozens of spins, inversions, flips, and splits is not half as exhausting as constantly defending yourself from a culture that says “Women are only valuable if they’re thin and attractive and continuously exude sex appeal, unless they try to utilize all those qualities in order to earn money. Then they’re a slut who had shitty parents. ...
bestiesnotestes:
If men gave a shit about women’s rights, we would have them. Don’t let male “feminists” try to convince you otherwise.
ewoksandwrackspurts:
I wish self-esteem campaigns would focus less on “everyone is beautiful” and more on “who the fuck cares if you are beautiful or not”
Things school has taught me:
• Grades are more important than your morals,emotional & physical health • How to hate people in general • To want to quit life weekly • How to text/eat in class without getting caught • Why I will never amount to anything
cisgender:
“real women”
“women should”
“if you’re a girl, you”
“what about men”
“poop is food”
friendlyangryfeminist:
feminism and women’s rights don’t matter unless you can provide an extended bibliography as to how it helps men too
this is because men are even more people than women so a woman’s movement needs to focus on men
strong-sexy-fit:
I hate how when I eat a lot, I feel the need to defend myself. I shouldn’t have to explain myself to people. If I want to eat a lot, I’ll fucking eat a lot. And if you have a problem with it.. I’ll eat you too.
