“I heard police or ambulancemen, standing in our house, say, “She must have provoked him,” or, “Mrs Stewart, it takes two to make a fight.” They had no idea. The truth is my mother did nothing to deserve the violence she endured. She did not provoke my father, and even if she had, violence is an unacceptable way of dealing with conflict. Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.”

-Patrick Stewart

This man.

I love this man.

“So, because some men have managed to sexualize stretchy yoga pants, that means stretchy yoga pants are now inappropriate/slutty/cause for “alarm.” Because the standards for what it’s okay for women to wear should be dictated by men’s libidos. Nearly every woman I have talked to about this — in the office, on Facebook, on Twitter — has echoed the sentiments of the women commenting on the GMP piece: we wear yoga pants because they are comfortable. Period. The suggestion that we A) wear them because we want sexual attention from men and B) that therefore they shouldn’t be worn in scenarios in which that attention would be “inappropriate” takes all the responsibility for controlling male lust off men and places it on women. And that is some bullshit.”

The only problem here ladies is that if i guy sees what is on your panties, then you already disrespected your self and gave them consent… nice one.

wait so if you can see my butt then that means I’m automatically consenting to sex with you? Because I’m prettyyyyyy sure that’s 1000% not fucking true.

Biphobia at its finest on twitter.

It really pisses me off that bisexual women are not taken seriously and bisexual men aren’t even acknowledged as bisexual. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

If you don’t know anything about bisexuality, do not speak about it.

and yet no one believes me..

I asked all of the gay male students in the room to raise their hand if in the past week they touched a woman’s body without her consent. After a moment of hesitation, all of the hands of the gay men in the room went up. I then asked the same gay men to raise their hand if in the past week they offered a woman unsolicited advice about how to “improve” her body or her fashion. Once again, after a moment of hesitation, all of the hands in the room went up. These questions came after a brief exploration of gay men’s relationship to American fashion and women’s bodies. That dialogue included recognizing that gay men in the United States are often hailed as the experts of women’s fashion and by proxy women’s bodies. In addition to this there is a dominant logic that suggests that because gay men have no conscious desire to be sexually intimate with women, our uninvited touching and groping (physical assault) is benign.”

Gay man ≠ exempt from misogyny

(via iridessence) hate to say this, but the most uncomfortable instances of nonconsual groping/touching were by gay male friends. mehhh. it’s not funny.

Disney Classics have been some of my favorite childhood movies, until I was able to understand their undertones, like religious and sexual undertones in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, which was airing on ABC Family last night. In one scene, Frollo begs the Virgin Mary to forgive him for his…

I don’t think it’s a lack of self control.

If anything, it’s taking too much control.

miss-love

I think this is just addressing how victims are blamed for wearing too little because the rapists “couldn’t help themselves” as if they have no control over their impulses. It’s about control, but victim blamers act as though it’s an impulse that you can’t stop.

This “I’m too beautiful” episode of True Life is dumb as hell, because these very regular girls are saying that things that happen to almost all women are only happening to them ‘cus they’re beautiful.

Uhm, yeah, a lot of girls feel confident about their appearance, a lot of girls have sibling...
