One of my acquaintances (marked with red) shared this stupid photo on Facebook - probably in an attempt to feel better about her full figure - while proceeding to bash skinnier, “anorexic” girls. My response (I’m the uncensored one, obviously):
What enrages me even more is that comment “… and she thought she was hot”. What the hell? You, sir, have totally and utterly missed the point of an eating disorder, because when you’re an ED sufferer, you most likely HATE YOURSELF and your body. If that girl you met was truly an anorexic, there is no chance in hell she “thought she was hot”. Why the fuck should her potential hotness be any of your business, by the way?

After having read some more articles dealing with sexism in video games, there’s a big lump of hopelessness in my stomach.
Not so much because of the articles themselves, but due to the comments made by so many ignorant people (mostly young white males who have never heard of the word “privilege”), completely unwilling to see past their own personal experiences. “Oh, but I just flipped through my collection of video games, and I didn’t find any sexism in any of them! Are you sure you’re not just overreacting, honey? I think you’re just not that knowledgeable about games.”
Stop. fucking. invalidating. us.
I’m so enraged right now. I need to watch some baby animals… Or perhaps a really gory horror flick.

I keep seeing that in tags on here and I’m really confused by it. Girls seem to get seriously pissed off when people do this……slut shaming thing. If I can say just one thing; Slut is not a good word. It’s a derogatory term used into society. If a girl is acting like a slut, I’m going to call her…
I’m sorry, I know everyone has a right to their own opinion and I am never one to judge someone, but this doesn’t fly. Words are whatever we want to make them. Words are completely neutral because they are just that. WORDS ARE WORDS. it’s what we make them out to be is what gives them such strength. The problem in our society is that we need to stop giving words so much strength. and how about for starters, we stop calling it a derogatory term.
Who decides what is dressing appropriately, eh? So what if a girl wants to wear a low cut blouse or a shorter skirt one day. Maybe the girl that you’re looking at and thinking how she’s a slut because she is showing cleavage, is just really excited because for one day, she thinks she looks great and she wants to show that. Or maybe someone is really proud of their body. They are not ashamed of who they are or how they look. Does that makes them a slut? So being confident and proud of themselves makes someone a slut, am I getting this right?
There is nothing wrong with sleeping with as many people as you want. Having sex is fun! There’s no need to suppress it. Sexual suppression is a problem. Now, I understand if it’s an addiction, then that’s certainly a problem. But there is nothing wrong with sleeping with people. The problem with casual sex is the lack of communication and the lack of protection. We need to stop shaming these women and educating EVERYONE one safety and protection. and the more power to the women that you are talking about. Because after all, the term slut is only directed toward woman. It fits right in with the rest of our incredibly sexist society.
What you are saying is that WOMEN should monitor what they wear and what they do in order to be accepted into society. If they do not fit in, if they don’t follow these rules, automatically they are a slut. and that the only way to correct this is to not do what we want to do with our own bodies and lives and follow what everyone else wants.
No. It doesn’t work that way. So call me a slut for enjoying sex and wanting to sleep with people. So call me a slut for being proud of my body and wearing clothes because they may not settle with your ideas. So call me a slut because I am not afraid and that I find nothing wrong with showing off my body because I am proud of it. Go ahead. It’s just a word, I’ll listen.
Reblogging for the added commentary, I agree completely.
Also, the idea of “young children” somehow being scarred for life for seeing a girl in the park wearing a micro skirt and a bra is just ridiculous. Naked/half-naked bodies are. not. dangeorus.

When people use terms like “heterophobia” and “masculinist”, it’s hard not to grab one’s head and cry out loud. Ow, right in the brain :(

“I need feminism because being honest and straightforward doesn’t make me ballsy. I don’t have balls.”
Good lord.
People are picking fights with common phrases now? What would you prefer it to be? Boobsy?
The point is that phrases like “man up” and “having balls” indicate that male characteristics are superior to female. Compare to phrases like “you throw like a girl” and “stop being such a pussy”. It promotes the idea that being male is always positive, while being female is inherently negative.
The worst thing you can call a man? Pussy, faggot, girl, “not a real man”, etc.
The worst thing you can call a woman? Bitch, slut, whore, and so on.
All of those slurs are related to femininity (in the case of “faggot”, attraction to other men is seen as a typical feminine trait).
“Picking fights” with common words may seem like nitpicking, but it’s all part of an unfair and oppressive system that hurts women and men alike. This needs to stop.

Utterly stupid use of this meme. “Self-respect” is not based upon how many people you have sex with, your sex life is nobody’s business but your own.

>after various relationships with girls realize they’re just too much work for too little fun
I hate women because I burn with jealousy over their ability to get sex with little to no effort.
If I had sex more often (or ever) I doubt I would be so resentful.I hate women because they won’t…
A little heads-up: Women are not the problem, your disgusting hatred is.

Could anyone recommend me a documentary on the stereotyping of men?
I’ve seen many videos that address the issue of gender stereotypes, but they’ve mainly been focused on women, just briefly mentioning the harmful stereotyping of men (for obvious reasons, but still). I’d like something that I can discuss with some male acquaintances, to prove that feminism is not just about “victimizing women” or “feeling sorry for women”. Feminists aren’t the ones demonizing men, the media is.
All suggestions will be greatly appreciated! ♥

I’m slowly losing my hope in humanity.
I’m fucking fed up with the accepting attitude towards sexism and discrimination that I face every single day.
I don’t want to hear another rape joke.
I don’t need your comments on how “gay” you think something/someone is.
No, I will NOT “chill out” when confronting you on your disgusting behaviour.
You’re making me miserable, because in all other aspects you’re such good and kind people. If you don’t really mean what you’re saying, why do you keep saying it?

My school is having a themed day with focus on gender issues.
I hope that the people attending are willing to learn something, and that they won’t ruin everything with ridicule and the same old jokes about rape and “real men” criteria. I love this place, but the accepting attitude to sexism and discrimination that some people here are sporting sickens me. Just stop it.
