Can I just have him please? I mean really: smart, witty, sexy and hard working? I’m just going to pretend that if I run into him one day, he’ll realize that there is one woman to whom he’s mightily attracted.

–  Emily Nagoski. no idea who she is, but i thank her. there is no excuse for rape and anyone who excuses it is insulting both the victim and the rapist. (via rapeisnotajoke) There are two arguments I’ve noticed “Women should prepare themselves better if they don’t want to get raped” ALL MEN...

I was hanging out with a guy that I’ve known for a decent amount of time and admittedly flirting with him some, all in good fun and the mood of the party. He made a move to get me alone, nothing incredibly forward but with obvious intentions of some sort of sexy time, which couldn’t happen for the fact that neither one of us is single. When I said that wasn’t a good idea and that...

All whites are racist
Because we all benefit from white privilege and we also have the privilege of not having to acknowledge that our over-privilege exists. We would take so many steps forward as a society if we would stop seeing racism as a fringe occurrence by crazy white folks and instead recognize that our society is built on racism and that every single white person in this country benefits from these racist...

liberalsarecool: Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.), co-sponsor of the Equal Rights Amendment, gave women an unexpected piece of advice: Give your money to Democrats. “I think these are very precarious times for women, it seems. So many of your rights are under assault,” he told the crowd… Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Christian Groups Take Issue With Anti-Bullying... →
greenstate: and now for your daily dose of WHAT THE FUCK? Frankly, I’m not in the least bit partial to anti-bullying laws essentially for the same reason I was completely against SOPA: the bill may address a real problem, but they are never going to be able to write a bill that successfully “protects” individuals from bullying without infringing on a heck of a lot of other...

Just watched the first episode of Legend of Korra
And I liked the ways they’re making it distinct from The Last Airbender and I like Korra as a character a lot. The only thing I’m not so sure about is the voice actors and actresses that were chosen. Many of them didn’t sound in any way distinct which meant that they didn’t add anything to the characters they were voicing. I felt like the voice acting did a lot for making...
