Click here to watch Kristen Schaal and Jon Stewart discuss the future of wage equality on The Daily Show.
Stop this shit. There’s no reason to be uneducated on this subject in the age of technology. It’s like wage gap pushers just go by word of mouth and little to nothing more. Quit encouraging victimhood and ignorance. It really sucks when the least educated people are the loudest and get the most coverage.

Good riddance, Jon Stewart. It’s too bad you can’t take all your clowns with you.
I will reblog this as much as possible
His replacement is worse than him.
If you printed off a penis and slapped it on a bank counter, you are probably going to get arrested and admitted to a psych ward.
i hate these women on this show. they’re so badly misinformed that everything they say just sounds hella uneducated.
like I’m positive she makes more than the men who work behind the scenes on that show. where’s the equality there? uwu equal pay for less work hurhur
this actively angers me.
The Wage Gap Myth is like a bad case of herpes.
We just can seem to get rid of it no matter how hard we try.
Because shouting and pithy soundbites are better than the actual truth
The Old One
I like how the only credible source actually says pay equality is not over in England. “ Overall the gap between the extra that women can expect to earn after getting a degree and the extra men can expect is still significant – £82,000 as opposed to £121,000.” - See more at: http://www.womensviewsonnews.org/2011/10/young-women-now-earn-more-than-men-in-uk/#sthash.PkZDl2nD.dpuf
why do so many people romanticize the 1950′s? like calm down we still have milkshakes and racism
I know this^ is probably a sarcastic post, BUT….
For me, I love the 50s for all of its innocence and hope. There were bad things happening, yes, but it had that lovely pastel veneer that made everything nice and neighborly and honest.
Also the music is unparalleled.
my black friend’s grandmother was physically beaten by a group of white boys when she tried to attend a public high school after segregation had been deemed unconstitutional. her grandfather still has the scars on his back from the pressure hoses aimed at him by police. but i’m glad you like that lovely pastel veneer
Just because a period of time had negative aspects doesn’t mean that the positive aspects of that time can’t be appreciated. You can take the good with the bad and enjoy it.
If. You. Are. WHITE 😒
If all these these white kids don’t gtfo………….
“Negative aspects” 🙄
oh for fuck’s sake
let’s dismantle this mid-century ~vintage aesthetic~ romanticism and put it to bed, because you are being disgusting
the 1950s weren’t nice and neighborly: The US military integrated in 1948 – to incredible racist backlash. The 1950s were the rise of the KKK in response to black Americans refusing to step back into the old discrimination, racism, and disenfranchisement of Jim Crow laws, property laws (you know, the stuff that perpetuated racial segregation and economic oppression in the north). Do you suppose this was an accident?
Here’s another resource about the KKK and resistance to school desegregation. It’s a riveting example of the nice, neighborly culture of America in the 1950′s.
But let’s talk about some innocence and hope.
Go read the wikipedia article on McCarthyism. Go read the articles on J. Edgar Hoover. Go read some history on CIA covert operations in the Cold War, particularly in the 1950s. I’ll wait.
Hell, just go read about the Cold War. Read about ~atomic technology~. Read about the prevalence of fallout shelters and bomb drills among folks who were honest-to-goodness planning for how to survive when – not if – the atom bombs fell over their heads.
Google PTSD in the 1950s, because, hey, we’d just come back from a massive, multi-front international war, where not everyone was universally obeying international norms on treatment of POWs. We didn’t even come up with the umbrella term for PTSD until sometime after veterans from the occupation of Vietnam came home with boatloads of issues. We called it ‘soldier’s heart’ and ‘shell shock’ and expected soldiers to pack it all in and get on with life with minimal treatment.
Anxiety was on the rise in the 1950s. Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique and highlighted a culture where suburban women at home were expected to live up to an impossible standard, suck it up, and be as happy as they were told to be. Inappropriately, TFM is still used to frame issues of womanism in America, but it did touch a nerve in American society by exposing the rotted ~heart and soul~ of America: that the privileged housewife who didn’t need to work like those dirty Communist women wasn’t the “Happiest Person on Earth”. And never mind that TFM never actually touched on the problems of literally anyone who wasn’t a white, middle-class suburban housewife, who were most definitely not baking cakes at home in those charming ~vintage era dresses~. Women who had been in the workforce during the war were encouraged to leave, either tacitly or explicitly, and American society did its best to support that, making it incredibly difficult for women supporting their families to find meaningful and well-paid work. 1950s social propaganda is some really sinister stuff.
And, hey, speaking of innocence: check out some longitudinal statistics on teen pregnancy rates from the Pew Research Center. Check out that super sweet bump in teen pregnancy rates about halfway into the 1940s. By golly gosh, I just can’t think what might have been happening around then? 1 out of 10 girls between 14 and 19 years were having babies in their teenage years – a staggering jump from the ~55 births-per-thousand ten years before. And while many of them were getting married (the average marriage age was about 4-6 years lower then than it is now), you can bet that a lot of those girls were quietly having babies out of wedlock and being socially ostracized.
Like, I’m not even going to pretend that’s everything that was fucking awful about the 1950s in America, but – and this is the most charitable thing I can say right now – you sound tone-deaf and ignorant when you say that the 1950s were just an idealistic time of American exceptionalism, hope, and innocence. People weren’t nice. People weren’t neighborly. They sure as hell didn’t have a whole lot of hope or innocence. They occupied Korea. They waged war, deposed regimes, ruined lives, propped up racist, oppressive systems that persist in the racist systems of modern America, and literally murdered people for not being white.
But, I mean, the lovely pastel mid-century aesthetic is totally worth it, right???
Not my gif if you know who’s it is please add.
IRONIC coming from you.
What is that supposed to mean?
Right now I am in treatment. I've learned a lot of stuff and lemme tell you... This stupid petty bull shit is pointless. I have my opinion y'all have yours.
belatrixx im willing to bet we have friends in common if you live close to Dallas and you have friends in Dallas and they’re nerds. I pretty much have mutual friends with almost every nerd in Dallas.
You spelled my URL wrong. Also no you probably don’t know my friend. As she’s not really a nerd (unless you like DRoP?) and tends to really only hang out with her social class in Dallas. (I love her but she’s a bit of a snob).
Leave me the fuck alone.

The 3 Deadliest Words In The World, “It’s A Girl” : Evan Grae Davis at TEDxGateway
“It’s a Girl” is a jaw-dropping documentary about women killing their unwanted newborn daughters. I’ve written dozens of posts about women, women’s rights, and vulnerability to climate change, here. The climate connection can be found in my post on a report covering Adaptation, Gender, and Women’s empowerment, here.
“In India, China and many other parts of the world today, girls are killed, aborted and abandoned simply because they are girls. The United Nations estimates as many as 200 million girls are missing in the world today because of this so-called "gendercide”. This documentary film tells the stories of abandoned and trafficked girls, of women who suffer extreme dowry-related violence, of brave mothers fighting to save their daughters’ lives, and of other mothers who would kill for a son. Global experts and grassroots activists put the stories in context and advocate different paths towards change, while collectively lamenting the lack of any truly effective action against this injustice. Learn more about the film at www.itsagirlmovie.com“
More girls have been killed in the last FIFTY years, precisely because they were girls, than men were killed in ALL the battles of the 20th century. More girls are killed in this routine gendercide in any ONE decade, than people were slaughtered in ALL the genocides of the 20th century.
Nicholas Kristof, Half the Sky
Read that AGAIN.

from the documentary “It’s A Girl”
ISIS massacred 150 women for refusing to marry ISIS militants and buried them in a mass grave in fallujah
why y’all sleeping on this??
source
They’re currently in lebanon and its so fucking scary
Fuck I have family there I WAS BORN THERE AND I CANT DO A DAMN FUCKING THING
while you can’t bring back the lives of those 150 women, what you can do is donate money to the many relief organizations in iraq and kurdistan to save the lives of hundreds of other women and children here and here and here
why you don't see a lot of "nice" SJ bloggers:
people take advantage of your niceness to exploit you as a “source” of information - bombarding you with questions/requests with no respect for your boundaries/limitations
give you backhanded compliments on your niceness at the expense of less nice “unreasonable” feminists/activists/others in your group
use your nice statements as arguments against less nice activists/ people in your group or to excuse/justify oppressive behavior
take your niceness as an invitation to enter your space even if they have a bigoted mindset because they find your space comfortable/safe (making it less safe for you)
use your niceness as the basis for creating a false “middle ground” on issues of oppression and/or painting oppressive behaviors as mere mistakes or as a “gray area”
the things we are upset about or denounce are usually upheld and praised and we are working to counteract those messages and create spaces where those things are unacceptable/not upheld as ideal
lastly, niceness in the oppressed is usually defined by the privileged as being docile/acquiescent- basically being complicit in or enabling oppression and activists are by definition not these things. see [x]
