Republican’s idea of “tolerance”

“We get to spread hatred and violence against anyone who isn’t a straight cis white christian male

And no one gets to say Mean Things About Us for doing this because it really hurts our feelings!”

[onceuponatimeinerebor]

Okay but the most amazing thing about Black Sails is that they get you hooked on this amazing fucking show with all this intricate story and these badass characters and like it’s all pirates and gore and sex and yeah there’s lesbian sex but you know how fucking straight men are so whatever they can overlook it since it’s still an amazing pirate show for the dudebros and it’s all focused around this fucking beast of a man who is fucking unkillable and always has a plan like PEAK male perfection then a season and a half in they drop the hammer that he’s gay and his motivation the whole time has just been to fulfill his boyfriend’s dream like

Legendary. Beautiful. 10/10. Would recommend.

listen we’re always pushing back against anti-vaxxers with the science showing that no, vaccines don’t cause autism, but can we please talk about the underlying problem here which is that people hate autistic children? 

even if the poorly researched pseudo-science was right and vaccines had any link to autism in children, i would still want myself and my children vaccinated because guess what, there’s nothing wrong with autistic people.

 what i hear when people say they don’t want their children vaccinated against deadly illnesses because they believe that vaccines cause autism is not just that they’re horribly misinformed, but that they’d rather have a sick, dying, or dead child than an autistic child. and honestly, that’s pretty fucked up and just goes to show that neurotypical people don’t view us as people who are equally entitled to life.

i think one of the biggest problems i have with getting stuff done is i assume it’s easy for other people. like “she gets up at six every morning because she’s a morning person” or “yeah, he can run five miles every day but he likes running” or “she knows five languages, her brains just wired differently than mine” when in reality it’s all about discipline for everyone. like yeah, some people have natural aptitudes for some things but anyone that’s accomplishing anything is putting in the work. achievements don’t come easy, and i think if i start acknowledging that it’s like that for everyone i can stop making excuses

[pancakeke]

yall would live much happier lives if you would stop to think “is this about me?” before starting pointless shit.

you don’t need to accuse a post about safe sex of being aphobic. someone talking about the struggles of being bi doesn’t need you saying they should be a lesbian instead. if someone talks about a nice thing their dad did they don’t need you replying about shitty men are

so many people around here are so rude and bitter that it almost seems like they’re trolling but they’re not! they’re just horribly self centered

“15 Men React To The Idea Of Taking Their Wife’s Last Name After Marriage”

[virginiaisforhaters]

Men believe the family is their domain but when it comes to watching the children or doing chores suddenly it’s not their responsibility

[ortolana-deactivated20160716]

THAT LAST COMMENT THOUGH.

[vampmissedith]

We as a society need to discuss why it’s considered necessary for a woman to take a man’s name in a marriage, and why it is considered degrading the other way around. Take a minute to think about that: things that are considered necessary for women are degrading for men. It shows how society views women when you think of that.

[tellmevarric]

At one of my school reunions, I met one of my former classmates who had taken his wife’s surname. He was so chill about it. Told everyone very proudly that his wife was an only child (and so was her father and grandfather) so if she’d taken his last name or even if they’d hyphenated, she’d be the last of her family so he’d happily taken her name so that wouldn’t happen.

The funny thing about it was that he was such a sexist piece of shit when he was at school. So, you know, people can grow and change.

[andauril]

My mother kept her last name when she married my father, and he hyphenated, but ONLY because he had a son from his first marriage and he wanted for his son to share his last name too, else he’d taken my mother’s.

Seriously, where the fuck is it emasculating to take your wife’s name. Men have to stop being babies ffs.

[emerysaks]

I have a friend who just got married, and he took her last name because his last name was Bottoms and he hated it.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I have two friends who got married and her surname was a common male name that happened to be his middle name, so he took her surname by swapping his middle and last names.

but then again, its kind like putting a meat suit on and telling a shark not to eat you

[theblackoaksyndicate-deactivate]

We (men) are not fucking sharks!

We are not rabid animals living off of pure instinct

We are capable of rational thinking and understanding. 

Just because someone is cooking food doesn’t mean you’re entitled to eat it. 

Just because a banker is counting money doesn’t mean you’re being given free money.

Just because a person is naked doesn’t mean you’re entitled to fuck them. 

You are not entitled to someone else’s body just because it’s exposed. 

What is so fucking difficult about this concept?

How can you not reblog something like this

[casanova-lives]

Half of being trans is being hypervigilant against transphobes. Like, I spent 15 minutes scrolling down on a blog that I would be super interested in just to make sure that it wasn’t going to start reblogging stuff from my favorite transmisogynists. Turns out that my hypervigilance was right again.

[casanova-lives]

Things to look for:

References to “vagina envy.” This is what initially got me scrolling. This alone isn’t a sure indicator.

Andrea Dworkin quotes without criticism

Reblogging from troll accounts like confirmed-/-terf

Most cis wlw on Tumblr are, in fact, supportive of trans people. Most cis wlw who mention “hating men” are not using this as an attack on trans women. However, because of my experience with the small, insular, and vitriolic trans-exclusionary feminists on Tumblr, I have learned to be hypervigilant and it Really Fucking Sucks and Really Fucking Hurts when I am right.

[casanova-lives]

I am a lesbian. This kind of blog would have been My Shit. But I’ve been taught to distrust the very women I connect with the most. I’ve been taught to feel afraid in my own home.

[casanova-lives]

Being a transgender lesbian is constantly walking on eggshells to not prove them right. And their standards are ever changing so it’s inevitable that you’ll prove them right. Righteous anger will be taken as “male propensity towards violence,” which closely mirrors the way men see outspoken women as “shrill.” If we do anything to fight back outside of debate within their terms, we are immediately casted as “violent men.” They will not be satisfied until we shut up, lie down, and die.

[casanova-lives]

Cis wlw can and should reblog this. Help me remember my allies.
