friendly reminder that when oliver wood addressed the gryffindor quidditch team as ‘men’, angelina johnson called him out on his sexist and misogynistic bullshit by reminding him there were women on the team too, and he listened to her without question ✿◕‿◕✿

It’s so weird when people are squeamish about seeing brains because that’s their own brain making a decision that it looks disgusting. Brains don’t like how they look.
self conscious brains aww
brains that don’t like what they look like because they’re not supposed to be visible
because if they’re visible something is deeply...

Fun fact: Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the anus forms before any other opening. Which basically means at one point you were nothing but an asshole.
some people never develop beyond this stage

“Agree to disagree” is white guy speak for “I understand you have an opinion but unfortunately, me.”

The continuation of patriarchy? Whatever that’s the just way it is.
Making a joke about female supremacy and misandry on your feminist blog as a way of coping with patriarchy? Worse than hitler.
Patriarchy at its finest.

And then I debated whether or not to put it on Tumblr…but I decided it was important. Because in my own way, I can (unfortunately) point out exactly what is wrong with men when they don’t realize how hard it is to be a woman. How we do not have equal opportunities and freedoms in…
Holy fuck. This is. Wow. Like I got so upset for the writer that I forgot how to breathe.

– Can I Buy You A Coffee? - theferrett.com
One of the best articles I’ve seen for explaining the negative effects of street harassment to men, though it doesn’t really touch on the issue of the threat of verbal or physical violence when rejecting harassment. These two articles do manage to do a very...

stop making villains so attractive it makes me question my morals
We’re finally standing up against the Greek philosophies that beauty is indicative if goodness/virtue and vice versa. Allow evil to be beautiful, but acknowledge that it’s still evil. It’s a great lesson for the kids.

The facebook group called “Getting my girlfriend pregnant so she has bigger boobs” exists and people are trying to tell me that feminism isn’t necessary.
suncomingup:
I wish I could make my boyfriend understand how important feminism is to me. Issues like consent and reproduction rights are so, so important because they’re issues that affect my life and my safety. It’s not that he’s not sympathetic to my opinions, but I don’t think he quite ~gets~ it.
This this this. He’ll listen to me, and nod and half-heartedly agree, but he...
super-nintendo-chalmers:
Oh god the internet just told me that some MRA folks (I said some, not all. Surely there’s some relatively rational MRAs) think that rape exists for women to learn their place in society and is a result of feminism.
I don’t think it matters how much I shower, I will never be clean from hearing this.
*watching a tv show where a girl gets raped while on a date*
Dad: Oh, but she led him on. She let him kiss her and all that, if she didn't want to sleep with him, she shouldn't have done that
Me: No, she changed her mind. He doesn't have an entitlement to her body
Dad: Well she should have decided earlier that she didn't want it
Me: Oh, okay. So , if someone is standing, holding a gun to their own head about to commit suicide and they change their mind, what then? 'Sorry, no, you have to do it now, you can't just change you're mind after you've done this much.' You going to force them to pull the trigger?
Dad: .......
Me: Exactly
littlepaperhugs:
