Think women have achieved equality? Think again. →
We Can’t Be Equal While:
Gender Roles
Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “pussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
When a woman shows confidence in herself, she is said to “have balls”, or conversely she is a “man-eater”, “ball-buster”, or a “bitch” because she was “too” assertive.
Men are beat up,...
ME: The character in this show who we're supposed to identify with is sexist.
THEM: It's just a show, it's not real, stop overanalysing it!
ME: I know it's a show, that's why I'm talking about it like it's a show!
THEM: Leave [character] alone! He's LOVELY... I LOVE HIM, HE DIDN'T MEAN IT! WAAAA
ME: Um... he's just a character... he's not real, he's words on a script... oh forget it.

Just watched Charlie Brooker's screenwipe review...
I forget how moved I am when people say something I sorta agree with on TV.
TV is so full of boring platitudes or right-wing curmudgeons on panel shows spouting offensive cliches for a cheap laugh. Not like wonderful Charlie Brooker.
You should see me when Shami Chakrabarti’s on Question Time, I weep!

to listen to ‘Unicorn in Uniform’ which is about umm… people who construct their identities in that boring way like ticking boxes on a corporate survey, or just doing what is expected of them and not thinking about WHY they like the things they like, or devoting anything more than money to their so-called ‘passions’. And as a product of constructing their identity on...

krthing asked: I guess my point was that there are other reasons (other than the common ones that you describe) that someone might not want to identify as 'a feminist', and to call them cowards is offensive. Feminism is not monolithic; a lot of feminist thought has been very negative and oppressive on race, class, and trans issues, for example. It is possible to be against and fight the patriarchy...

I had my first appointment with a gynecologist today and the doctor completely lied to me about IUDs.
The doctor had asked me if I was interested in going on birth control. I said no, that I wasn’t interested in hormonal birth control pills, but that ultimately I’d be interested in getting an IUD. She told me that IUDs were for people who had already had...

I just went out to the toilet wearing plimsoles forgetting there was 6-7 inches of snow outside (to sink into), quite the rush, but now I’m efffing dying of foot-freeze. (yes I have an outside toilet, yes I live in a shed and what?)
