What you say: “I’m not PC”
What we hear: “I’m an asshole”
THE FEDORA.

men’s rights more like men’s wrongs
JCPenney is featuring a same-sex couple in its Fathers’ Day ad, following One Million Moms’ failed boycott of the store for bringing on Ellen DeGeneres.
Innocence is remarking how sad it is that people have to know about things like child molesters and kidnappers and so now have to think about ways of protecting their children. Or how terrible it is that they have to be knowledgeable of rape culture and so have to be concerned for themselves when they walk to their car. Which is implicitly shaming survivors for daring to speak and breaking one small piece of their precious little innocence.
Or how horrible it is to tell your children that gay people exist, or trans* or maybe one day (heaven forbid!) that people who defy these neat categories also exist.
God forbid anyone who isn’t straight or cis or white or financially comfortable or non-abused not live in fear and shame and silence for the sake of your own comfort and innocence.
I’m not saying, “CHILDREN SHOULD BE TOLD EVERYTHING FROM BIRTH.” But I am saying that innocence, as a concept and as the way it is reinforced, comes at the expense of trampling on those that aren’t innocent. It is as though by families shielding their eyes from the wounded bodies lying on the ground, they can walk all over them and claim good intentions and innocence as their excuse. And sometimes? In fact, far more than sometimes, it’s your own kids that you’re walking over.
The price of innocence, Somaticstrength (via somaticstrength)
fuck innocence

How could not knowing something be virtuous? Unless ignorance is a virtue in itself.

This paper is OLD. OLD I TELL YOU. I wrote it for English 252 at Columbus State Community College. DO NOT REMOVE MY SOURCE INFORMATION. I check up on EVERY reblog notification. Also, don’t claim my paper as your own or hand it in thinking you’ll pass your class. The link to this post will be public, so your professors will easily be able to find where you got this if they decided to hit up Google. JUST SAYIN.
overall, a good read that covers a lot of things we discuss here (sexism, gender roles, body image, gender identification, etc), and I’ll post this since a lot of people often ask me about source information for discussing/writing about this stuff. (obviously, I am not saying to copy/paste, I am saying that you can use this as a starting reference since they themselves reference a lot of outside works that you could look up)
These are all so great.
My heart just exploded. So.
All of these are awesome.

Can someone message me who’s had an abortion before.. I’m so scared and lost.
Can someone help this person out?
And without shoving unhelpful opinions down her throat with a false sense of morality that makes the person feel like shit?
Example:
myworldisfullofbigdreams said: I’ve never had an abortion, I don’t know your story, I’m no one to tell you what to do. I don’t think you should get an abortion, the baby inside you doesn’t deserve what your thinking about. Please reconsider your choice before you do anything.
Signal boost if any followers can help out here.
OP, best of luck to you whatever path you take. Your choice will not make you any more or less of a good person. Stay strong.

book from my childhood getting it right — not just a clump of cells
Too bad it is really just a clump a developing cells and your childhood book is just that, a childhood book that doesn’t use proper terminology.
welp
pro-lifers are actually using “My First Body Book” as material to support their views
is anyone surprised
Did they also not notice that ‘hair’ is labelled as a bone?

Excuse me, but
why does Andrej need to be a female to be attractive?
what’s wrong with men being feminine and sexually attractive?
why can’t men express their masculinity any damn way they want?
oh yeah, he doesn’t, absolutely nothing, and they can.

Dear Feminists,
I would make my boyfriend a million sandwiches.
Screw you.Sincerely, someone who doesn’t think every single man in the world is a douchebag.
