Remember when Jenny Slate said “As the image of myself becomes sharper in my brain and more precious, I feel less afraid that someone else will erase me by denying me love.”

Anti-vaxxers are predominately educated, well-off white women. Women with college degrees and middle class backgrounds! You know why they choose not to vaccinate their kids? Because they think the rules don’t apply to them. Because they believe that their INDIVIDUAL rights as a parent are more important than the well-being of all the children around them. This is a symptom of the middle class, nuclear family dynamic! THEY CHOOSE TO NOT VACCINATE THEIR KIDS BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY HAVE THE MEANS TO DEAL WITH ANY ILLNESS THAT MAY COME UP. But please, tell me more about how poor, ~uneducated~ rural people are the root of all social problems in the world.

This is a common misconception, because let’s face it, women are blamed for everything, but a significantly higher percentage of anti vaxxers are men than women. They’re low income, and tend to live in rural areas.

Pretty much the entire premise of this post is simply not borne out by the facts.

#this source doesnt show it but click to the poll and it shows white people are way more likely to believe in vaccination also#u dumb sexist fucks#stop using the phrase ‘middle aged white women’ to try and excuse your sexism#the demographic op described is literally the most likely to vaccinate LMAO

Yeah I was half asleep when I posted last night and missed the opportunity to point out that not only is the OP wrong on the details, but it’s actually literally the OPPOSITE of reality.

Men: 56% anti-vaxxers are men and 44% are female (compared to an average population ratio of 49% men and 51% women).

Not necessarily parents: Having kids didn’t affect the likelihood of respondents to declare themselves against vaccines.

In lower income brackets: People earning less than $25,000 a year are 50% more likely to distrust vaccines.

45 to 54 years old: People in this age group are 26% more likely than any other to oppose vaccinations.

Midwestern: Citizens living in the Midwest region appear more likely to have “closeted” anti-vaccine sentiment.

Live in rural areas: Rural dwellers are 28% more likely to refuse vaccines.

Liberal: 60% of anti-vaxxers describe their political leaning as liberal.

Non-college educated: People with a high school diploma as their highest education level are 11% more likely to be against vaccines.

Don’t go to doctors: anti-vaxxers are 88% more likely not to have seen a doctor in the past year.

Don’t care about the environment: anti-vaxxers are 30% more likely to be “not concerned at all” about the environment and climate change.

Don’t think their votes matter: People who oppose vaccines are 69% more likely to feel like their vote doesn’t matter.

everything is womens fault!!!

[radicalcoffeeclub]

So anti-vaxxers are poorly educated men relatively on the fringes of society who think personal responsibility doesn’t exist and nothing they do matters anyway? Selfish apathy basically? Who would have thunk

No matter what happens, I love you.

Honestly shoutout to The Social Network for giving us the line “you’re going to go through life thinking that girls don’t like you because you’re a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re an asshole” because if that doesn’t epitomize women’s feelings for entitled male nerds I don’t know what does

I really hate how “your partner shouldn’t be a psychic” has evolved into “you cannot expect your partner to be intuitive to your needs or wants at all” because that’s… quite frankly ugly and a really good way to make your relationship feel like a chore. 

I pay attention to the things my partners like and Store That™ in my little brainspace until it becomes useful. My bf likes tea. We were cleaning out an office full of stuff yesterday and they had some tea leftover they would’ve thrown out, so I took it home to him. Wow! He didn’t tell me he needed or wanted that, but he appreciated it because it’s something he likes.

Not everything has to be some grand gesture to show your s/o that you’re into them and you’re paying attention to them. I recall someone saying they wrote down things about their S/O and their interests so they could look back and remind themselves since their memory sucked. Things like that matter.

And I think it’s really cruel to tell people, and especially women who this type of shit is always put towards, that they aren’t allowed to want romance or spontaneity because it’s an “unreasonable” expectation. It really isn’t. Healthy communication does not inherently mean constant hand-holding. 

[allpersistingstars]

I’ve literally never heard someone say don’t pay attention to your partner’s likes/dislikes or wants/needs. What the messaging is trying to get across to people in relationships (all types) is that if something is wrong, you have to tell the other person what’s wrong. You can’t assume that they’ll “have the intuition” to magically figure it out.

I’m a simple woman…. I see two girls kiss on a TV show, I watch the TV show.

How much you wanna bet that Hayley Kiyoko will sing “The L Word” reboot’s theme song?

“In 2012, Louis C.K. appeared on “The Daily Show” and said that “comedians and feminists are natural enemies” because “feminists can’t take a joke.” Jon Stewart nodded vigorously and agreed. Today, Stewart is being fawned over for acknowledging, in response to Louis C.K.’s fall, that “comedy on its best day is not a great environment for women.” A friend, the comedian Zahra Noorbakhsh, texted me: Ten years from now a man will win awards for his documentary about all this. If you believe us now only because your peers are facing professional ruin, that deserves its own reckoning. I’ll wait.”

Every time you think “they could have hurt me worse”, remember that you shouldn’t have been hurt at all. You should have received support and help on everything you struggled with. You should never have faced pain from the hands of your loved ones. You should have been safe and happy and without a care in the world as a child. That’s what you compare your abuse to.
