The African-American Suffragists History Forgot
by Lynn Yaeger
[T]hough we may have vague notions of the American women who fought so heroically for the ballot on this side of the Atlantic, they are, in our minds, in our imaginations, in the photographs and first-person narratives that have come down to us, uniformly white people.

Naqeeb Stevens Me And Pac And Snoop, 2010 Video Still
Statement: This work confronts constructions of masculinity in depictions of rap musicians. Having lived in Los Angeles during the earlier part of my life, these two figures played a significant role in the visual cultural landscape that I experienced. During this performance, I activate the two figures by positioning myself within their gaze. Utilizing this relationship, I attempt to maintain an upper body muscular flex for as long as possible. Once I am no longer capable of holding the flex I relax, still within their gaze. In exhausting the capacities of my body, I seek to open questions of reality, representation and the relationship between them.
This was my favorite moment from graduation. Right before this picture, my generally gruff and stereotypical grandfather, who normally doesn’t show much emotion, told me that he was so happy he could cry. The look in his eye and the joy in his face meant so much to me.
I’m not very familiar with his life story, but I know that he’s a man who has known struggle and who knows the meaning of hard work. I can’t imagine how proud he must have felt— as an immigrant who didn’t come from a wealthy background and couldn’t read until a few years ago— to see his granddaughter graduate (with honors!) from the top-ranked college in the nation.
Two weeks ago, he wasn’t sure he’d be able to make it to graduation since my parents weren’t spending the night at his house on their way to my school. My mom told me about how disappointed he was, so she bought him a train ticket and, as you can see, he made it. And I’m thankful he did, because I wouldn’t have wanted to graduate without him.
This was 3 from about years ago and just popped back up in my notifications. Ironically enough, this is happening just 1 week before I reach a major milestone in my PhD program. For those of you in academia, T minus 9 days until I'm ABD! For those of you who aren't in academia, this basically means I'm done with classes and my professors are sending me out in the world do my own research and write about it. Woop woop!
How women prepare for first dates
Bonus: How men prepare for first dates:
Accurate.
Okay but the first set of gifs is not a joke like that’s literally how it goes.
One of the girls at work won’t get in the guy’s car unless he agrees to let her take photos of him and his license plate to text to her mother. If he gets mad or makes a fuss she cancels the date and goes back inside.
Reblogging for that 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
I’ve had someone take pics of me and my license plate on a first date before & I was okay with it. I’ve also had a friend allow me to view the tracking on her phone when she went to meet up with a guy the first time. This isn’t a joke at all & women have good reason to worry.
i have only ever met 2 people online, and made sure that we met up somewhere that was 1) public 2) close to my home.
After, I walked to the dollar store that was a couple shops down until I knew they were gone, before walking home.
Louis C.K. kind of nailed it. Men worry that their date won’t measure up to their aesthetic preferences. Women worry that they’re going wind up dead.
The disparity is RIDICULOUS, and the fact that dudes get offended when women try to protect themselves is hard proof that way too many guys Do Not Understand how dangerous it is to be a woman. (Not to mention it’s fucking insulting. “How dare you not trust your life and safety to a complete stranger whose intentions you have no way of knowing”?)
Lookin’ at the notes on this post following my earlier reblog and just going….
Wow. WOW. Look at all these sheltered people and their internalized misogyny.
The point isn’t, “NOT ALL MEN ARE OUT TO GET YOU.”
The point is, “WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING A NICE GUY FROM A SERIAL KILLER.”
It’s not like they fucking wear nametags, okay? Moreover, the most awful people with the worst intentions often put on the nicest face or deliberately make themselves seem harmless and likeable, to lull potential victims into a false sense of security. (Read up on Ted Bundy sometime. It’s horrifying shit. Or read any thread on the “Let’s Not Meet” subreddit.)
In order to protect ourselves, we are forced to assume the worst of every man we meet, because statistically speaking, the biggest danger to women…IS MEN. Saying “not all men are out to get you, you’re just being paranoid” is like saying “not every car you ride in is going to crash, so buckling your seatbealt is stupid.”
When dealing with an unknown situation, in the absence of absolute proof of safety, exercising a little extra caution can be the difference between life and death. Shaming women for being what you may view as overly cautious is every bit as horrid as blaming them if something goes wrong later on.
And refusing to go to a secluded location with a complete stranger without letting someone know where you’re going, who you’re with, and how to find you is just common street sense, whether you’re on a date or just going out for business or social purposes.
If your life has been so sheltered (or your coping skills so incredible) that you see no need to distrust strangers or worry about the potential for violence, you should thank your lucky stars.
And you should also be aware that just because it hasn’t happened to you or anyone you know does not mean that it doesn’t happen.
Lemme say that louder for the people in the back.
Just because it hasn’t happened to you or anyone you know does not mean that it doesn’t happen.
Re-Reblog for relevant commentary.
And if you won’t take a woman’s word for it because you are some kind of asshat, men who sleep with men also mirror these rituals because even men are afraid of other men based on men’s behavior and inability to understand “no” or take rejection well.
Amen and thank you!
‘Cause I slay.
Thank you for this
Bless

Black women have to do better by black girls.
Stop teaching black girls they have to be wonder woman to be worthy of a man but turn around and allow black boys to act a fool. Stop teaching these boys they are princes no matter how they act but our girls have to follow decades of misogynoir just to be label “a good woman”. Stop shaming us for how our male family members look at us. Stop stomping respectability politics in to us and telling us than if we don’t fit that mold “ain’t no man gonna want you”.
Start protecting black girls, start cherishing black girls, start teaching them they are worth more than just a decorative piece for some ain’t shit man, that they are people that deserve to be happy however they please.
