“Girls shouldn’t have short hair. It doesn’t look right.”
“You look better with long hair.”
“Why’d you cut your hair so short?”
“I don’t like it when girls have short hair.”
“You really should grow your hair out.”
YES
So much love. My favorite reaction to cutting all my hair off was when this sexist guy who had for some reason been hitting on me for weeks saw it...

All the more reason to love Sara Quin.

Ahhh. Yeah. This is why sexist jokes aren’t funny: because for some women, if they do stray out of the kitchen, or if they do fail to make their husband a sandwich, they are beaten. So. Let’s not joke about it, okay?

Jokes jokes jokes
flyingscotsman:
An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and a German are all standing watching a street performer do some excellent juggling. The juggler notices that the four gentlemen have a very poor view, so he stands up on a large wooden box and calls out, “Can you all see me now?”
“Yes.” “Oui.” “Sí.” “Ja.”

safeword:
there is no biological point at which a person loses their virginity. it doesn’t work like that. everyone has a different moment that they think “counts” because virginity is a social construct- most people have a series of increasingly intimate sexual experiences, not one life-changing moment. you learn a lot from the first time you give or recieve head, too.
who’s the “real”...

Yeah.
Humanes are ANGRY
Humans. I get it, okay? I get that you’re tired of hearing about women and their vaginas and their feminism.
BUT,
I frankly don’t give a damn. So listen anyway.
I feel as if I am being accosted from every direction today. From this article on state-sanctioned abuse, to this lovely gem published in Loyola University’s newspaper on the “fatal flaws” of the feminist...

Texans. Women. This affects you. Forget the abortion part of this for a moment, and focus on other part. The part where the state has now mandated the steps to a medical procedure for the first time. The part where the state has now mandated foreign objects be inserted into women’s...

Happy Thank You More Please
THOUGHTS: I took a mental health day last Monday and didn’t go to class or work and I just ate cookies and watched independent films and drank chrysanthemum tea, and it was beautiful. One of the movies I watched was Happy Thank You More Please, which was pretty much your average feel-good quirky indie film, but there was something that stood out, and it was this idea that if you’re...

Just so I’m clear: Misogyny in advertising on TV is totally okay. Violence on TV is totally okay. Encouraging people to self-diagnose mental illness on TV is totally okay.
Flipping the bird on TV, though, is totally not okay.
Is that pretty much it?
Okay, that’s what I…

Humanes Adore the Hobo-Dyer Projection
I’m a little bit in love with this map. My suite mate and I have three different “south-north” maps on our walls, and sometimes I am still surprised when I see it. Yesterday, for example, I was spacing out in my physics class, doodling Arabic letters, when I glanced up and saw this map staring back at me. My professor went on to explain how arbitrary our “normal”...

Humane Marriage →
Today, a lot of Canadian-married same sex couples got a scare when the legality of their marriages came into question. Public outcry (somewhat headed by Dan Savage) led to media coverage, which led to, like, government officials noticing and releasing public statements and looking at making clarifications. So. Read about it here.
I could rant about this. But. There are only so many times I can...
