Full article: The Roman Catholic Church has introduced a new character in a religious congregation in Rome: Waria, the evil counterpart of Mary. According to Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer, prefect of the congregation, the new character is necessary to maintain the freshness of the sacred franchise after more than 2000 years. Waria is evil, throws bombs, is single and lives with the Jewish plumber Wajosé. “She loves sex before marriage, sex without reproductive purposes and, in general, any type of sexual activity,” explains Cardinal Ladaria. “Waria is easily recognizable by her yellow cape and being somewhat thicker than Mary and is characterized by how much she enjoys putting obstacles to believers on their way to final salvation, sending dragons to fight them or throwing bananas so that they slip and fall into the path of vice, ” explains the theologian. He also details that, when Waria is defeated by Christian values, she often shouts loudly, “Mamma mia!”, which implies that the Virgin Mary is the only holy mother. According to the Catholic canon, Maria and Waria are arch-enemies but may occasionally compete in friendly kart races.

I’m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

[princess-roxxi-remade-deactivat]

Yellow face yet she’s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.

Cultural appropriation isn’t a thing, hon. ☺️ Cultures should be shared by all means.

[ginzers]

I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isn’t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

[cheshireinthemiddle]

I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you.

A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect.

And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not “yellow face” they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work.

The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.

I live in Japan and I’d like to back up this sentiment. 

Recently a museum in Boston came under a lot of fire for allowing visitors to wear a ‘kimono’ (it was featuring a painting my Monet of a girl – a white girl – in a kimono, and the museum had replicas made that guests of ANY RACE could wear to mimic the painting, Pageant-of-the-Masters style). After protests and heated debate, the museum closed the event.

I was living in Japan at the time, and out of all the *actual* Japanese people I asked, not a single one was offended by the event. Rather, they were excited that people half a world away were showing interest in their culture, and were sad that visitors could no longer enjoy the event.

This party, though somewhat silly in application, is an attempt at experiencing and appreciating another culture. The mom who put this together is not an expert on Japan, but she did her best. She got a lot of things right: there are few things Japan loves more than tea, Pocky, and sakura. 

Where do you draw the line for who is “allowed” to learn about Japan? If the girl were of Japanese descent, would that make it ok (even though her citizenship would be the same as the girl from the photo)? If one of the girl’s parents were from Japan, then would it be ok? 

Are you only allowed to make pizza if you live in Italy? If you’re an Italian immigrant? How do we decide these things??

You can’t say you want to dismantle racism and then in the next breath make rules – based on race – for who people can wear, try, or eat, especially when the intent is obviously to have fun experiencing a culture (as opposed to having fun by making fun of a race or culture, like blackface does). 

When you tell people they can only experience things ‘meant for their race’, it totally smacks of segregation to me and I can’t stand it. As someone who (obviously) loves Japan, I say let people learn about it, let people experience it, let people appreciate it. You don’t have to know every single thing about a culture to enjoy it.

[finalantagonist]

I just have a question. Since looking atone of your reblogged posts, it appears that you don't "believe in" or support nonbinary people like myself. My mindset and identity may be out of the ordinary but it shouldn't concern you if it has nothing to do with you. It is your belief and I won't fight to change that but you're basically invalidating an entire groups existence down to chromosomes and science when gender is much more than that. Why are you so against it?

First things first: I have NO idea who you are and have never spoken to you. I feel I need to state that for the the reason that you have made some assumptions about me (based entirely and only on what I REBLOG on this WEBSITE?) that I find odd and silly. I’m not saying this to vilify or demean you, but only sincerely because of genuine curiosity and to point it out to you. It’s just very odd to me that someone I wasn’t even aware of’s existence is asking me why I care so much about them and that I “shouldn’t concern” myself with them. Odd thing. Very ironic.

Second, can you please educate me on who exactly I am “invalidating” and how exactly I am doing that with just reblogging things I find ridiculous from this site? What exactly are you saying I’m “against”?I could make a couple assumptions here about what it is you think I’m guilty of but I figured I’d ask you first.

[finalantagonist]

“This post can’t be reblogged” = “I’m mad you don’t agree with me”

[finalantagonist]

Feel free to try and educate me on why hating white people isn’t racist, hating men isn’t sexist, and hating cisgendered people isn’t sexual intolerance.

[yaboydeactivating-deactivated20]

Why do Americans put the month first. It just makes no sense.

[another-nonsense-deactivated201]

We put the month first because in conversation we say, “July 1st, 2015.” Because it’s quicker than “The first of July, 2015.”

“Tomorrow is May 29th” not “Tomorrow is the 29th of May.” That is why we write it 5/29/15 and not 29/5/15. Because we go by how we phrase it in conversation rather than in sequence because it converts better between numbers and language when written in the former. We also use the month first because that’s how calendars are organized. You have one year and one calendar so the year is a constant and can go in the back. However, calendars aren’t organized my days, but rather by months. You flip to the months first and then find the day. So…. p>

While on this topic, we also use Fahrenheit and not Celsius because a 0-100 scale of measuring temperature makes a lot more sense to a human. We know that 0 is really fucking cold and 100 is really fucking hot, which makes sense. Celsius, however, is just about how water responds to temperature, and makes no sense when applied to humans. Fahrenheit is for people, Celsius is for water. And I am a people not a water.

idk it’s just pretty odd to see “anti SJW” types decrying call out culture when they also were a-okay with some creep airing out his dirty laundry with his ex girlfriend and spearheading a harassment campaign against her

[robin-hood-for-freedom]

Actually I think it was horrible and disgusting that he aired their dirty laundry the way he did.  

However, the proverbial genie is out of the bottle, I dont know what you expect any of us to do about it.  

[tumblintuck]

Publicly decry and disavow him and his actions, and don’t align yourself with a group that sprung up from that event. Think critically about why you still identify with a movement that originated with something you find morally repugnant.

[epistemotypus]

Like, I’m not going to get into the nitty gritty re: gamergate BUT I will take this as opportunity to talk about this whole “don’t align yourself with movements that have bad histories” thing, b/c it’s super common, and also super impossible!

I mean, b/c it really is! It doesn’t matter what your movement or political position is, there is no actually morally sound movement that did not start with having some bad intentions in it.

Like, feminism is one of those really ubiquitous movements, but even THAT began with white women wanting the vote b/c they were WHITE women, not because they were women. The 1910 Suffragettes very clearly argued in favor of keeping the vote racially segregated, and the only reason there was a lot of push-back against the movement was b/c the old white dudes KNEW that if they let white women have the vote, then they’d have to let black men have it, too. And then black women, and the Chinese, and then the savages! Where would it end???? And even after getting the vote, Suffragettes voted in favor of segregation, and some were known for filing false rape accusations against black men, in order to ~prove~ that black people didn’t deserve their rights.

And even after two major reforms, feminism STILL hasn’t really address its race problem, plays the No True Scotsman fallacy regarding TERFs (instead of addressing how TERFs spawned specifically BECAUSE of feminist vagina=woman rhetoric, including the entire “trans woman=man=rapist in bathrooms logic that is STILL a big problem), and the moment you mention political lesbians it’s all ~that’s their identity~.

But hey, let’s move away from feminism for a moment, right? How about Civil Rights? Well during that whole 1960s pre-LGBT scene, many LGBT POC didn’t go to the bars or w/e b/c of community backlash. So much of the Civil Rights movement was built upon highly religious community strength, which was great for getting people to band together against racism, but it also made it EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING for LGBT POC who, unlike the whites, didn’t have the luxury of getting along without community. But here we are in 2015, and now it’s all “WHITE CIS GAYS ON GRINDR ARE WHY THERE ARE NO POC” like wow great accountability there!

And to round it off, why not the LGBT scene? Which was, as we all know, originally just the Gay Straight Alliance scene, b/c trans rhetoric is FANTASTICALLY new. So for the longest time it was GSA, then LGBA, then LGBTA, then LGBT, then LGB, then no wait LGBT, and now MONOSEXISM UR PRIVILEGED IF GAY EVIL CIS GAYS OPPRESS BI PPL and ASEXUAL IS MOST OPPRESSED and I AM CUPIOGENDER DEMIRAISINSEXUAL MY PRONOUNS ARE BUR/BURG/BURGER FUCK U DOWN WITH CIS LOL.

Like, this whole “don’t associate with morally bad groups” is impossible, b/c EVERY group is morally bad to some degree. The only difference comes down to how it’s presented. You wouldn’t know that feminism spawned from the same type of white nationalism that gamergate supposedly did, b/c feminism is presented as Women’s Liberation, thanks ENTIRELY to great PR and favorable news coverage. I mean, feminists will still lament over the occasional feminazi trope on TV, but they have some of the best coverage of any liberation or equal rights group out there, like 100% let’s be real, y’know?

Likewise, the only reason gamergate is known for having spawned from white nationalism and jaded ex-boyfriend, is b/c games media (who was gamergate’s main target, despite everything else) presented it that way. The reason you view Eron’s post as ~dirty laundry~ and not calling out an emotionally abusive spouse (which many people who have been victims of abuse confirm is the base context of the post) is b/c it fit the gamergate=sexist narrative that sites like Kotaku exploited to discredit it. You don’t hear about how Zoe wanted to stop pressing charges on Eron so she could charge him in a different state, with more broad definitions of harassment. You don’t hear about how this happened IMMEDIATELY after she confessed to literally cyber stalking him, and how she tried to use her stalking him as evidence of him harassing her. You don’t hear that.

And even then, let’s look at the anti-GG side. Nobody talks about how Brianna Wu got fucking dogpiled by her supposed allies, who used transphobic and sexist pejoratives, b/c she had the gall to have coffee with Brad Wardell. Nobody talks about how SHE had to apologize for THEM harassing her. And how about the current defense squad for Sarah Nyeberg, who (at the age of 20) sexually harassed minors online, posted child porn, and even posted images of her own cousin? And let’s not forget about Zoe “I’m an expert on online harassment” Quinn, who doxxed minors for lulz on Helldump just a scant THREE YEARS AGO, and only stopped b/c SomethingAwful Forums (the place 4chan got its memes from) had more moral sensibilities than she did and closed Helldump down after a young girl allegedly committed suicide b/c of Quinn and other Helldump denizens. Or Leigh Alexander, who bragged about beating up a black woman? Or the entirety of the game journos who gleefully posted Lol Wimmenz Amirite? articles back in 2012, and now act like they’re not at fault for w/e gaming culture is.

Like.

It’s impossible to not be associated with something morally repugnant. So it’s just so funny to me that “disassociate urself from X group” is the go-to response, when those same people are willing to overlook the same shit in their own group b/c ~it’s different~.

What I’m getting at is that y’all are more alike than you are different, so any advice you give GG is advice that also applies to you. As such, I would suggest either ditching that arguing tactic, or at least practicing what you preach. B/c I mean, if you’re going to excuse the bad shit in your group/s, then why lecture others for doing the same, y’know?

[obliteratehate-deactivated20150]

[lazyhat]

I was pretty skeptical about the figures, since they contradict what I usually hear on the media, so I did a little research. Here’s what I found:  (Sorry this is so US centric)  (I’ll also try to stay close to primary sources as possible)

(http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6308a1.htm?s_cid=ss6308a1_e)

- the 12 months before taking the survey, an estimated 4.0% of women experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner -an estimated 14.2% of women experienced some form of psychological aggression in the 12 months preceding the survey. -*4,774,000 women have been victims of physical violence by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey -*17,091,000 women have been victims of psychological aggression by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey

- the 12 months before taking the survey, an estimated 4.8% of men experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner -an estimated 18.0% of men experienced some form of psychological aggression in the 12 months preceding the survey. -*5,452,000 men have been victims of physical violence by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey -*20,471,000 men have been victims of psychological aggression by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey

*Table 6

By the data presented by the Center for Disease Control, out of the estimate of 10,226,000 yearly victims of intimate partner violence, 53.3% of victims where male and 46.6% were female. As for psychological aggression, out of the estimate of 37,562,000 yearly victims, 54.4% were male and 45.5% were female. These statistics would support the claim made in the bottom left.

Now I couldn’t find a primary source for the 70% of DV is initiated by women, but here’s the facts that I found, which may have been interpreted by the people who made this poster:

(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/glenn-sacks/researcher-says-womens-in_b_222746.html) -Women who were in a battered women’s shelter, 67% of the women reported severe violence toward their partner in the past year.

This can be interpreted as “67% of violent couples with IPV is mutual”. But then again, primary sources and full data would be helpful to back up this claim.

But the one that is most interesting is:(http://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/newsArticle.aspx?articleid=111137)(Another report analysis from the CDC)

-23.9% of relationships are violent -50.3% of IPV is non-reciprocal and 49.7% is reciprocal (Reciprocal IPV= Mutual violence) -70.7% of non-reciprocal IPV is initiated by women. 

So summing up the numbers, it’s not that 70% of all DV is initiated by women, its that 70% of non-reciprocal DV is initiated by women. To go further would say that 49.7% of DV is mutual, 36.2% of DV is initiated by women, and 14.5% of DV is initiated by men

[friendly-neighborhood-patriarch]

Male victims of domestic violence are real. They are hurting. And they often don’t get the attention and compassion they so urgently deserve and need.

[ittybittykittykisses]

Here are 221 studies on IPV / DV for y’all.

[triskele-rose-deactivated201708]

You are a life saver.

[dickslapthestate]

That list is good, but outdated.  I e-mailed the researcher who compiled that list a couple weeks ago and he gave me three different documents.  I uploaded them to this dropbox folder. You can go there and download them.

The list of studies is now up to 343 scholarly investigations (270 empirical studies and 73 reviews). Not only did he send me that list, but he also sent me two meta-studies (also in the dropbox folder).  One is on male/female perpetration rates and the other is on male/female victimization rates. 

There is also “Rates of Bi-directional versus Uni-directional Intimate Partner Violence Across Samples, Sexual Orientations, and Race/Ethnicities: A Comprehensive Review“.  It’s a mouthful to be sure. Basically this study took the data from 48 other empirical studies, collated the data, placed it online for public viewing, submitted it for peer review, and was found to be accurate. 

It’s findings basically wind down to this:

84% of relationships are non-violent

58% of relationships that are violent, both partners abuse the other.

28% of violent relationships only the woman is violent

14% of violent relationships only the man is violent.

This is featured Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project website and is part of a much larger DV research project.  You can read the summarized findings here or take a gander at the full 61-page review.  This is a compilation of the research of Erin Pizzey, Murray Strauss, Don Dutton, and many others who are challenging the feminist model of patriarchal dominance. They also have some videos that are very informative as well.

Murray Strauss also compiled: Thirty Years of Denying the Evidence on Gender Symmetry in Partner Violence: Implications for Prevention and Treatment.  A report detailing the existence of over 200 studies showing gender symmetry in victimization rates. Studies that show symmetry going as far back as 1975.  He also examines the methods feminist researchers have used to suppress the evidence from public discourse, hence the title “Thirty Years of Denying the Evidence”.

Two other excellent and brief videos on the topic come from the MenAreGood YouTube channel:

I saw someone post this and I was wondering your opinion on it "Porn is one of the biggest and most harmful industries in the world, closely affiliated with human trafficking and drugs and alcohol abuse, causing rape between children, violence, beastiality and pedophilism and its fetishizing race, underage girls, trans people and lesbianism. Thought you should know"

I think anybody can form an opinion based off misinformation and misrepresentation. I think generalizations are harmful and counterproductive, and I think extremists operate with huge blindspots.

This person seems to be referring to all porn being made everywhere on any format – which is a very very broad subject.

Right off the bat their statement loses a lot of weight with that.

It comes off as equal to saying “all sharp things are closely related to stab wounds and impalement, causing cuts, bruises, death, and promoting blood loss” , and implies that because sharp things happen to be harmful when used or misused in a certain manner, they should be eradicated completely –whether or not there are many using them safely and effectively.

Anything at all can, has, and will be used in a harmful way. Whether created with or without that intent. Whether applied with or without that intent.

Porn is not the issue – both on a broad scale and a smaller one, too.

On a broad scale, not all porn promotes harmful habits or stereotypes (much to the contrary) , and on a small scale, the porn that does is a reflection of things already very present in many other facets of our society.

Getting rid of it won’t get rid of the problem, and quite frankly, the people targeting porn for tainting their idea of how the world should be need to take a look around to see that people and their livelihoods are being debased by a lot more than what they do or do not decide to get off to.
