taylor swift: donates $250k to help free kesha from her contract and cover legal fees

yall: ok but why didnt she publicly assassinate dr luke? when will she Step The Fuck Up?

#she put her money where her mouth was #wtf does a Twitter rant do other than make you look like Kanye

I met her when I was 10 days old, and him in kindergarten. Now they’re married and I’m the happiest maid of honor ever.

#Taylor Swift

Since when is $250,000 not a lot of money? Regardless of the amount, this is NOT about the money. This is about the support one person is providing to another in a difficult time. People are so quick to attack Taylor. If this was any other celebrity , people would praise the donor for giving a quarter of a million dollars to Kesha, but since it’s Taylor Swift, suddenly, it’s about Taylor seeking attention again. Leave the poor girl alone. Honestly, what has she done to you for her to deserve this hate? Nothing. The answer is nothing. People are just jealous of her success. Tell you what….Jealously is an ugly look. Try on something else. You don’t need to bring someone down to bring yourself up.

It's because she can't do anything right in some people's eyes.

"Oh she's talking about something. She's just doing it for publicity."

"She didn't say anything. See? She's just faking. She can't possibly be busy."

"Oh she donated more money than I'll probably ever have in my life? She could have donated more."

She can't win. Those people are just stupid and looking for reasons to hate. I think she has a song about that...

I think it’s time I make a new tumblr.

I won’t delete this one but I won't be using it anymore. I just need a new one.

I do find it funny that lesbians are perceived as man-hating but gay men are not perceived as woman-hating, and in fact are often illogically shielded from accusations of misogyny simply by being gay

All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt for saying no.

Understand that this applies even to non-sexual situations. Women are more likely to be asked for favors from coworkers. Regular “can you file this for me” / “can you cover my shift” / “can you finish up this paperwork” workplace favors. Men are less likely to return those favors. Women are more likely to be seen as “difficult to work with” if they refuse to do favors when requested. Being viewed as ungenerous has negative social and professional consequences.

So yes, even gay men benefit. All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt, not just physically, but also socially and professionally, for saying no to anything at all.

This is important.

Thinking a lot lately about how this stuff plays out in two circles where I spend a lot of time–the comics community, and the development / implementation of CoCs and harassment policies; and how it intersects with both of those for freelancers in particular.

calling a man a “pig” is literally dehumanising how do some people not think there’s anything wrong with that how

notquitephil-deactivated2020102

Because chicks, fillies, birds and bitches never get dehumanised. Those vixens always get away with this kind of shit. Especially the heifers, they’re the worst. What cows.

Moreover, men get called pigs for disgusting behavior, whereas women are called chicks, birds, and vixens simply for being women.

Even if we threw out the comparison that last comment makes a super important point, because a man is (most typically) only called a “pig” when he displays disgusting behavior. Behavior that isn’t the type of behavior displayed by a decent human being. Hence the dehumanising.

it’s honestly so gross to me how many tweets abt kesha start with “i don’t like her music but…” like shut up for two seconds and realise i don’t care u don’t need to defend ur music taste before you defend rape survivors i don’t care no one cares
