Can We PLEASE Stop Using the Term "Slut Shaming?"
girlinfourcolors:
Like, we already had a word for it. It’s called “MISOGYNY.”
I just saw an article about “slut shaming” being written into middle-school dress codes, and all I can think is “COULD WE PLEASE NOT?” Like, these are middle-school girls. Must WE TOO label them with the term “slut” while claiming to have their backs? They hear that word enough from their peers, their teachers, and...
So about the so-called lack of boy stuff in YA

So I have a lot of feelings every single time I hear that people are “angry” or “annoyed” or whatever that they can’t find ONE SINGLE YA BOOK IN THE ENTIRE YA SECTION FOR BOYS TO READ and YOUNG MEN ARE FAILING BECAUSE GIRLS ARE TAKING OVER LITERATURE and HOW CAN BOYS POSSIBLY BE EXPECTED TO WANT TO TOUCH WHINY GIRLY CRAP WITH A TEN FOOT POLE?????

I have a few important things to say:
Having a mental illness does not excuse you from being an asshole, and it does not free you of the obligation to really apologize and make it up to a person when you have caused them harm.

last night my brother told me he wanted to be a chef but this morning I asked him to chop up some chives while I was making scrambled eggs and he just froze
I am skeptical about this
lordeddardstark:

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
jammy-lannistray:
I also noticed something Talisa was all like “IM NOT LIEK OTHER GURLS” after Blackfish apologized for swearing
Meanwhile, Catelyn didn’t give a shit about swearing and didn’t expect anyone to fawn over her for it because she was busy trying to tell her weapon’s grade dumfuck of a son to take the war seriously because THIS IS NO TIME FOR JOKING YOU COLOSSAL FUCK UPS

if you ever think mythology is boring or serious business or whatever shit
just remember that cerberus, the hell-hound and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the root indo-european word ḱerberos, which evolved into the greek word kerberos, which got changed to cerberus when it went from greek to latin
ḱerberos means “spotted”
that’s right

book-Arya: Needle was ... even Sansa.
show-Arya: Most girls are stupid.
book-Brienne: As ladies die in childbed. No one sings songs about them.
show-Brienne: You sound like a woman.
book-Asha: Cunt again? It was odd how men like Suggs used that word to demean women when it was the only part of a woman they valued.
show-Asha: You're a cunt.

aiffe:
I’ve read a lot of great essays about how fandom is female-majority and creates a female gaze and a safe space for women and etc. But spend five minutes in fandom and you’ll have an unsettling question.
Why does a female-majority, feminist culture hate female characters so much?
It’s not a question of if it happens. You know it does. You can go into any fandom and see it. Some fandoms are...

i hate unpaid internships so fucking much
unpaid internships exploit college graduates, most of whom have exorbitant student loans, into working 30-40 hours weeks for no pay
at which time they start owing massive amounts of interest on their student loans
they often don’t have time to search for other jobs
it’s really only practical for wealthy people who can afford to work...

wow I am so lonely here
I really hope I get the job I’m sort of interviewing for on Tuesday because I really cannot just keep tagging along with my mother
I guess it is not so much that I am lonely as much as it is that I need stuff to do.
