The fuck does Maria know about breakups?

Still aboard the Japril ship...

Please like/reblog if you still ship Japril! I’m feeling weirdly alone :) That doesn’t mean you think April and Jackson are anywhere near perfect individually or as a couple or even that you like the majority of their canon storyline, which even by Grey’s standards suffered from an extreme excess of conflict and angst. It just means that for whatever reasons you still love them and believe they’ll never love anyone else quite as much as they love each other. All likes and reblogs will help encourage me to finally finish (okay, fine, START) my Japril fanfic ;) (If you hate Japril, I totally get it, but please just ignore this post rather than commenting, okay?! My real life is depressing, so I’m trying to keep Tumblr my happy and positive place :))  Thanks in advance to all fellow Japril shipmates :)

@austennerdita2533 , I know you’re still aboard this ship with me no matter how hard the writers tried to sink it ;)

Love this episode. Jake really kills it. I think the writers made a huge mistake in S4-6 by assuming these characters, and the audience, couldn’t handle the more ambiguous emotional territory explored here.

Deep😳

Did I also mention, I think Jake looks really hot in this episode

Sometimes I think that the glue sniffing in ep 15 was a cry for help from the writers room. Now seeing this, I know that I’m right. Robby? Really? How high was he when he said that?

In the 1960′s Legally a woman couldn’t

This is why we needed feminism - this is why we know that feminism works

I just want to reiterate this stuff, because I legit get the feeling there are a lot of younger women for whom it hasn’t really sunk in what it is today’s GOP is actively trying to return to.

Did you go to a good college? Shame on you, you took a college placement that could have gone to a man who deserves and needs it to support or prepare for his wife & children. But if you really must attend college, well, some men like that, you can still get married if you focus on finding the right man.

Got a job? Why? A man could be doing that job. You should be at home caring for a family. You shouldn’t be taking that job away from a man who needs it (see college, above). You definitely don’t have a career – you’ll be pregnant and raising children soon, so no need to worry about promoting you.

This shit was within living memory.  I’M A MILLENIAL and my mother was in the second class that allowed women at an Ivy League school. Men who are alive today either personally remember shit like this or have parents/family who have raised them into thinking this was the way America functioned back in the blissful Good Old Days. There are literally dudes in the GOP old enough to remember when it was like this and yearn for those days to return.

When people talk about resisting conservativism and the GOP, we’re not just talking about whether the wage gap is a myth or not. We’re talking about whether women even have the fundamental right to exist as individuals, to run their own households and compete for jobs and be considered on an equal footing with men in any arena at all in the first place.

I was a child in the 1960s, a teenager in the 1970s, a young adult in the 1980s. This is what it was like: When I was growing up, it was considered unfortunate if a girl was good at sports. Girls were not allowed in Little League. Girls’ teams didn’t exist in high school, except at all-girls’ high schools. Boys played sports, and girls were the cheerleaders. People used to ask me as a child what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said I wanted to be a brain surgeon or the first woman justice on the Supreme Court. Everyone told me it was impossible–those just weren’t realistic goals for a girl–the latter, especially, because you couldn’t trust women to judge fairly and rationally, after all. In the 1960s and 1970s, all women were identified by their marital status, even in arrest reports and obituaries. In elementary school, my science teacher referred to Pierre Curie as DOCTOR Curie and Marie Curie as MRS. Curie…because, as he put it, “she was just his wife.” (Both had doctorates and both were Nobel prize winners, so you would think that both would be accorded respect.) Companies could and did require women to wear dresses and skirts. Failure to do could and did get women fired. And it was legal. It was also legal to fire women for getting married or getting pregnant. The rationale was that a woman who was married or who had a child had no business working; that was what her husband was for. Aetna Insurance, the biggest insurance company in America, fired women for all of the above. A man could rape his wife. Legally. I can remember being twelve years old and reading about legal experts actually debating whether or not a man could actually be said to coerce his wife into having sex. This was a serious debate in 1974. The debate about marital rape came up in my law school, too, in 1984. Could a woman be raped by her husband? The guys all said no–a woman got married, so she was consenting to sex at all times. So I turned it around. I asked them if, since a man had gotten married, that meant that his wife could shove a dildo or a stick or something up his ass any time she wanted to for HER sexual pleasure. (Hey, I thought it was reasonable. If one gender was legally entitled to force sex on the other, then obviously the reverse should also be true.) The male law students didn’t like the idea. Interestingly, they commented that being treated like that would make them feel like a woman. My reaction was, “Thank you for proving my point…” The concept of date rape, when first proposed, was considered laughable. If a woman went out on a date, the argument of legal experts ran, sexual consent was implied. Even more sickening was the fact that in some states–even in the early 1980s–a man could rape his daughter…and it was no worse than a misdemeanor. Women taking self-defense classes in the 1970s and 1980s were frequently described in books and on TV as “cute.” The implication was that it was absurd for a woman to attempt to defend herself, but wasn’t it just adorable for her to try? I was expressly forbidden to take computer classes in junior and senior years of high school–1978-79 and 1979-80–because, as the principal told me, “Only boys have to know that kind of thing. You girls are going to get married, and you won’t use it.” When I was in college–from 1980 to 1984–there were no womens’ studies. The idea hadn’t occurred in many places because the presumption was that there was nothing TO study. My history professor–a man who had a doctorate in history–informed me quite seriously that women had never produced a noted painter, sculptor, composer, architect or scientist because…wait for it…womens’ brains were too small. (He was very surprised when I came up with a list of fifty women gifted in the arts and science, most of whom he had never heard of before.) When Walter Mondale picked Geraldine Ferraro as a running mate in 1984, the press hailed it as a disaster. What would happen, they asked fearfully, if Mondale died and Ferraro became president? What if an international crisis arose and she was menstruating? She could push the nuclear button in a fit of PMS! It would be the end of the WORLD!! …No, they WEREN’T kidding. On the surface, things are very different now than they were when I was a child, a teen and a young adult. But I’m afraid that people now do not realize what it was like then. I’ve read a lot of posts from young women who say that they are not feminists. If the only exposure to feminism they have is the work of extremists, I cannot blame them overmuch. I wish that I could tell them what feminism was like when it was new–when the dream of legal equality was just a dream, and hadn’t even begun to come true. When “woman’s work” was a sneer–and an overt putdown. When people tut-tutted over bright and athletic girls with the words, “Really, it’s a shame she’s not a boy.” That lack of feminism wasn’t all men opening doors and picking up checks. A lot of it was an attitude of patronizing contempt that hasn’t entirely died out, but which has become less publicly acceptable. I wish I could make them feel what it was like…when grown men were called “men” and grown women were “girls.”

Know your history.

So this, too, is what they mean saying “make America great again” and/or the good old days.

REBLOG FOREVER.

Welcome to the loft!

I love that Aly is a loftie now! =) Her interactions with Nick are so funny. They have great chemistry.

Also: I’m totally Aly in this life…lol

Aly is the Paul Rudd of the show.

“She got off the plane” indeed….. :Sigh:

Hence, WE NEED A SEASON 7!!!! Dammit.

I’m disappointed. 😒 but ofc can’t judge yet, but ugh. I’ve been saying it for weeks, I DONT WANT A ROSS & RACHEL ENDING.

Newgirlobnessed is right. That’s why I’ve been saying all along we need a season 7.

I don’t get people who are excited that Ness should be back together soon. There has been ZERO build up to this. Now even within the last episode of the season, or very well possibly the series, we’re supposed to be happy with a short, thrown together reunion??? I’m personally mad either way. I heard they filmed two endings. If that’s true I really hoped the other ending would just break Nick and Reagan up, not throw Nick and Jess together. I mean at this point how can this feel anything but false?

I just want it to feel earned. No matter when it happens. It's been a long time since I saw the last season of Friends but didn't R/R have quite a build up, even though the actual reunion only came in the final seconds? I don't think we've seen enough yet from Nick to buy that he still has feelings for Jess, so it's all going to come down to these last two episodes. If it is the end of the show, I guess a tacked-on happy ending is preferable to a neutral or unhappy Ness ending, but if there is a S7, I would rather they leave it and give them a proper build up next season. *shrug* They don't seem to want to make it good though.
