Feminism because why not make a thread for it?

My dad taught me how to use tags. And how to choke a bitch.

I learned a lot from him.

I still try to Spock pinch mofos.

People think I'm a peripetetic massuese.

So this horrid "women can shut down rape" thing is obviously terrible beyond words. It's also been bothering me because it kept tugging a memory. I've FINALLY remembered where I heard this before! It was a particularly awful fantasy story on literotica.

Now I'm horrified I read the same terrible porn story as stupid politicians.

i think it's really sweet all those chefs spoke up to support her - and really, everyone who signed the petition helped. if she were the only one who wanted it, it wouldn't have happened.

Well, the black and silver version was about to come out after 18 months of testing BUT the more gender diversity in the commercials (and packaging!) certainly wouldn't have happened. I mean it sounds like Easy Bake was thinking about diversifying into boys but wasn't quite there.

Now, how to get more women chefs...

That tumblr makes me extremely uncomfortable for a lot of reasons.

Like okay, so instant knee-jerk reaction was vague horror that there really are that many Nice Guys out there. But I'm also not okay with the whole taking people's pictures and making fun of them on a different part of the internet without their knowledge or consent aspect.

Plus at some point the phrase "So this is the face of rape culture" floated through my head and now it won't go away. I feel bad for that. Like, these guys don't know any better, most likely. If someone took the time to parse things out and really explain it they might realize how harmful their mentality is (for themselves AND others, ultimately).

Or I don't know, some of them probably wouldn't, because it really is so much easier to absolve yourself of all blame by painting yourself the victim.

I'd like to think at least a few would listen to reason, though.

A homeless woman once told me that she didn't believe nice people existed.

She felt that everyone was ultimately looking out for themselves.

I asked her the typical "Would you choose to blow up the world with this button" type questions, and got a most definitive yes from her.

I have always felt it to be rude to talk about yourself to others, and I would always prefer that people observe others more intensely.

I bought her dinner and gave her 100 bucks.

For some reason, she felt relaxed enough to tell me her life story, about how she was adopted by a rich family, and how she even went to college, but became addicted to heroin and dropped out, and began selling her body for cash to buy more drugs; upon tasting the food, she began to cry, and all I could do was watch and observe.
