Every SJW needs to fucking learn this
Tell me more about the preferential treatment, let’s say, POC and trans people receive: ya fucking knob.
I love how this quote is actually really interesting: but in a very different context than I think was intended. To people whose privilege has allowed them to ignore issues of race, gender, sexuality, ability, etc: being asked to examine those things might seem like discrimination.
also, OP is the selfie-week fuck is you needed more evidence about what the aims of that were.

In addition to what’s mentioned in this link, we have some info to help folks make a plan to stay safe when leaving an abusive relationship, and when they can’t leave just yet: The Scarleteen Safety Plan
Seriously, I’ve only been able to skim this article so far, but I definitely plan on reading the whole thing later
If you’re being abused by your partner, and you’re reading this right now, then you have awe-inspiring strength.
You’re suffering, but you have the courage to seek out ideas on how to take care of yourself.
I’m guessing you haven’t come across many tips like these. When I was being abused, the only advice I found was about how to leave an abusive partner, or how to heal after you’ve left.
In this society we sometimes talk about abuse victims being strong after they leave, but frame them as weak before hand. I think that is so wrong. Living in an abusive relationship takes a strength that most people cannot even comprehend. you’re not weak because you stay. there are a million reasons why we stay because, frankly, abusers actively work to keep their victims trapped.
So know that if you’re in an abusive relationship right now as you read this, I think you are strong as fuck, and I am rooting hard as hell for you.
Honestly, if people feel even a little inclined to reblog this, I would appreciate it. I am not trying to guilt anyone, if you don’t reblog I won’t think you’re a horrible person, that’s totally your prerogative… But if these words can help even just one current victim of domestic violence… I would be so happy.
So many people can’t leave. So many. Please be safe.
I have a grinding headache and am very tired, but I will read this later, and pass it on now.
one thing that I think that causes capitalists to misunderstand discussions of anti-capitalism is firmly rooted in the fact that many of them mistake their own cultural values for human nature. one of the most popular arguments I hear against socialism is that it will always fail because human nature dictates that you must have personal incentive to work, and without that, most people won’t work if they don’t need to.
however, one of the very first things you learn in the field of cultural anthropology and related studies is that the things we often take as basic human nature are often wildly different or completely lacking in other cultures because the cultural values are entirely different. it’s one of the major reasons for inter-cultural conflict and fuels xenophobia. “those people are different from me in a way that I do not understand. they do not play by rules of basic human decency, and, therefore, they must be Bad.”
if you as a society value work that benefits the whole community, people will work to benefit the whole community. if you as a society value people over money, people will put people over money.
capitalists always pretend that nobody will want to be a doctor without monetary incentive, and personally I think it’s really telling about them as a person that they think “saving lives” couldn’t possibly be incentive enough for someone to become a doctor without a shit ton of money pouring in as well.
It’s also important to note that poor folk under capitalism are obviously going to see money as a priority. When money is the cure for hunger, homelessness, and illness, of course they’re going to leap toward monetary incentives.
Survival under capitalism means giving up happiness and morality to put food on your table and a roof over your head, and the system was *designed that way*. They always seem to think that human nature is how people act under the rules the capitalists themselves, wrote.
Bottom line: If you oppose raising the minimum wage you’re saying that some people don’t deserve to be able to feed and shelter themselves and you’re trash.
Yet I bet these feminists would have no problem with raising the minimum wage for women only, leaving men unable to feed or shelter themselves. Because feminists are trash.

Beautiful!
When someone is raped, you don’t validate the rapist, wish it upon yourself, or congratulate the victim. It doesn’t matter that it was a boy. Anyone is susceptible to rape.
also she’s 47
more proof that dudebros only care about the male victims of rape when they can use it to argue against feminism
Masculinity and the perceptions therein are fucking weird.
Feminism then and now.
Mhm. Those are two sets of women, out being loud about issues that are important to them and other women. Suffrage and sexual assault are both important issues, then and now.
Not really seeing the point you’re trying to make?
no actually the women on the left are fighting for their right to votes meanwhile the women on the right are just taking pride in how many random guys dicks they can shove down their throat
You…don’t know what the purpose of Slut Walks is. Awesome. Nice to see how quickly the misogyny comes out when faced with ignorance.
In 2011 a Toronto police officer said women should “avoid dressing like sluts” to evade being sexually assaulted.
Heather Jarvis told NPR about the reasons for starting the Slut Walk: “This idea is very, very common that somehow people who experience sexual assault do something to attract it, are asking for it, or even deserve it. And that’s not OK. And it’s not the case. So we decided to go down to Toronto police headquarters and tell the Toronto police that we had had enough and we demanded better and we wanted to raise awareness about these issues. So we decided to call it a SlutWalk to use a language that the police officer used against us and throw it back at them.”
These are all women who are fighting to be treated equally and equitably with men. They all want to stop being seen as objects, and be who they are without the influence of men or misogyny. Why is this so difficult to understand.
The fact that tumblr user eee-in’s response to over simplify and belittle their wants and what they’re fighting for speaks volumes with regards to how necessary these events are. There is not a doubt in my mind that the same terrible rhetoric was used back in 1915

Thank you, but like, I don’t deserve any like extra respect for not being an asshat. I managed to find a group of people that cared enough about me to help make me a better person, if anyone deserves admiration, it’s them.
