Meet the Midwesterners

[explorerrowan]

Seriously, here in Texas, to get to the next major city is an hour by plane (which of course means absorbing 5 hours of your day because airports), 3-8 hours by car, or 5-12 hours by Amtrak. If I’m going to be blowing so much daylight anyway, I might as well do it in the lowest-stress way possible. Train stations for the most part don’t have TSA, trains have lovely huge seats in coach like you’d find in first class on a plane, there’s actually good food on the train. Also, the tickets are cheap; I can go from Austin to Dallas for $25, which is less than gas. I’ve about decided to always try to take the train if I can.

[systlin]

I’m in this post and please please please give us more trains.

TERFs really out here thinking that male privilege comes from like. The overwhelming aura of the penis and being told not to wear skirts as a kid, and not the fact that manhood is an in-group that trans women are absolutely stricken from.

[strawberry-crocodile]

Male privilege comes from men in power treating me with respect and, well, privilege. And sweetie, that’s not something that happens once they catch the scent of tranny on me. I am not going to be hired before a cis woman. I am not going to be allowed to talk over men, god forbid cis women. I am not going to get a “boys will be boys” if I hurt someone, because the minute I challenged my own manhood I turned in that “boy” card.

Maybe I do act “manly” sometimes. Let’s assume that for argument. The fact is, even if I did that, I do not have patriarchy backing me up; I’m just a not-man not-woman that no one will defend if I step out of line.

[strawberry-crocodile]

Funny thing about this post is a couple of TERFs got their hands on it and apparently the best argument they can come up with is “You fucking moron, work discrimination and sexual harassment isn’t sexism, REAL sexism is seat belts and doorknob heights.”

[strawberry-crocodile]

To be clear, I am certain that they don’t actually believe that sexual harassment doesn’t matter but doorknob heights do, they’re just consciously trying to define feminism in such a way as to exclude trans women which results in them focusing on either stuff that has specifically to do with vaginas (which to be clear our society has a ton of issues to do with ppl with vaginas, but that’s only one facet of feminism) or grasping at straws to assign the highest importance to skeletal structure.

One of them in the notes even slipped up and blamed office thermometers on “xy skeletal structures” which is like. First of all that skeletal structure is associated with testosterone during puberty, second of all bone structure??? You genuinely believe it has to do with bone structure and not hormones and body fat distribution? They don’t, of course, but they know that’s something that trans women have in common with cis women so their ideology of “you can’t change biology” requires that they pretend it doesnt exist.

[strawberry-crocodile]

It’s just so clear as to be comical that TERFs define what feminist issues they do and do not care about by whether or not they can be used to draw a line between them and trans women.

[johannepetereric]

There are feminists who think that workplace discrimination and sexual harassment isn’t sexism???Even if they’re only counting cis women???O_o

Also, what do seatbelts have to do with anything???

[strawberry-crocodile]

I mean, I’m sure they do care, unless you bring up that trans women have a bigger wage gap than cis women first then it’s not REAL sexism

[johannepetereric]

………..it took me like 5 minutes that everything after “care” is referencing the “you” as in the transphobes.

And an extra five that you meant they’re like “work discrimination and sexual harassment FOR TRANS WOMEN isn’t sexism”

Also, I still don’t understand the seatbelt thing and vaguely can’t register the doorknob explanation

[strawberry-crocodile]

seatbelt testing uses dummies mostly based on the average adult man, which can be an issue for people whose proportions are different enough from that. Doorknobs are also I guess placed to be convenient for people in the 5′9′‘-6′1′‘ range, the idea that that’s somehow a more pressing issue than transphobia is fucking laughable

MLK's Mother Was Assassinated, Too: The Forgotten Women Of Black History Month

[kimreesesdaughter]

On June 30th, 1973, Alberta Williams King was gunned down while she played the organ for the “Lord’s Prayer” at Ebenezer Baptist Church. As a Christian civil rights activist, she was assassinated…just like her son, Martin Luther King, Jr. But most people remember only one. Until a month ago, I was one of those people.

I never knew this!!!!

[skinnyniggaballin-deactivated20]

Wow is this true? 😟

[bougiest]

Very true. If you go to the church you can still see the bullet holes and everything.

[theageofkris-deactivated2018101]

Yep, I heard about this a few years ago and I was floored. I didn’t want to believe it, but this is true.

For the record, this is apparently the result of someone misinterpreting the Unicode reference art without looking at the description sheet.  Here’s the reference art for this particular emoji:

Whomever interpreted this emoji for Android 4.4 apparently thought that this was a heart covered in beard stubble rather than shading dots.

to those who until now lived in blissful ignorance of the fact that misha collins’ wife is the author of a book called “The Threesome Handbook: A Practical Guide to Sleeping with Three” within which she mentions their experiences with a male friend named only as “D” (speculated but not proven to be Darius Marder, director of 6 time oscar nominated movie The Sound of Metal): well, uh, guess you know now <3

once a girl reported me to an administrator at school bc i was breaking dresscode and she didnt like me. so i pushed her down the stairs. i just kept walking and i dont think she saw me and i never got caught. i know she got very seriously injured and they had to call an ambulance and she transferred schools bc she knew SOMEONE pushed her and she didnt feel safe. ive never regretted it. its been years since i graduated and im on mood stabilizers now, but sometimes when someone is testing my patience i calm myself down by thinking about how good it felt to snap once and how i cant do that again bc i would go to prison probably

How do I tell people that sometimes if you turn your shipping brain off you can interact with media better

[captain-lovelace-deactivated202]

Like I hate to say it but if you can’t engage with any media without descending into full-on fandom-style shipping at the expense of the themes, characterization, non-romantic relationships, and general content of the work. You might need to take a step back from shipping and maybe fandom in general. (Also to the people in the notes of this post who are acting like I said shipping in general is terrible: What this post is saying is that if you interact with all media exclusively through a shipping lens you miss a lot of stuff. I’m not saying don’t ship things, I’m saying use your critical thinking skills.)

[ianmalcolmptsd]

“There’s more to media than romantic relationships” should not be a take which causes so much anger, and yet

‘’Prince Phillip’s up there with good ol Maggie now!’‘

[homo-sex-shoe-whale]

No one is better at being lame than lesbians. Mixing flannel and stripes? Lesbians can do it. Making your girlfriend a mixtape? It's cool when a lesbian does it. Anything that's traditionally lame becomes cool once a lesbian decides it's cool.

[homo-sex-shoe-whale]

Lesbians are the Rihannas of lameness. If a lesbian says it's cool to move in with a girl on the third date then it's cool now.
