There's something heartwarming about Denji thinking of the answer for Aki's question while staring at their laundry outside.
I really love how the actual answer was being transmitted through this scene.
I wonder how little Denji's clothes before he met Aki and joined the Public Safety Hunter. I bet he never even hangs his laundry that much. And seeing how his clothes, Aki's, Power's hung out there... maybe it's small realization that he finally has family.
Men like this deserve to die and you can’t convince me otherwise
It's sad how I didn't even flinch on seeing this because it's been so normalized in my own community :( It's just expected that your husband is free to slap you whenever he gets angry because 'men are men' or some bs.

Light Skin People: I don't have any privilege!
30 Light skin Privileges Light Skin Blacks Have
Having the ability to deny or not acknowledge that colorism exists.
Be recognized as a symbol of post racism.
It is assumed that you are race neutral when issues of race are raised.
Being standard of beauty in the Black and Latino community.
Being called Black based on the antebellum era one drop rule.
Being racially ambiguous.
People automatically assuming you are mixed and it is seen as a positive attribute.
It is automatically assumed that you are more intelligent than the darker members of your racial group.
Not being seen as angry unlike the darker members of your racial group.
Being considered less threatening by the Eurocentric mainstream based on the color of your skin.
People not making the assumption that you grew up poor unlike your dark skin counterparts.

Within African American culture being called a “redbone” is regarded as a compliment while being called “darkskin” is considered derogatory.
Having someone tell you that your light skin is better than dark skin.
Can color, dye, relax, or weave your hair without it being seen as an act of self-hate.
The assumption that your relaxed hair and chemically processed curls are your natural texture.
Not being told that, “You are pretty for a dark skin girl.”

Taking advantage of skin color privilege depending upon the situation. For example, applying for scholarships for African Americans and Latinos and later passing for other than a minority.

You have better opportunities for education and jobs prospects.
Because of your light skin your relatives may of have had access to Black sororities, fraternities, and other organizations that promoted intraracism.

You always play the Black and Latino wife on television.
Being able to be biracial, multiracial, or light skin and still play a Black, Asian, Latino and White person on television when people of a darker hue cannot.
Not having people in entertainment making songs or comments disrespecting your skin color.

If you are a light skin Latino it is automatically assumed that you speak Spanish.

I can keep going…
Women with dark skin: this is what colorism is and how it harms us please stop participating in it
The rest of the community:… Stop trying to divide us lol
Me, a Light: this is what colorism is and how it harms people with dark skin please stop participating in it
The rest of the community: damn okay maybe you right

A man mansplained linguistics to me
I’m currently doing a PhD in linguistics. I have a BA and MA degree in linguistics. I am being funded by one of only seven research councils in the UK and was offered funding by another too.
Yesterday at a party I had to listen to a guy, who has never studied linguistics, tell me how women talk far more than men and “dominate” conversations.
Even when I tried to present him with studies that show that men typically hold 75% of conversations, will view a woman as dominating if she takes up more than 25% of the conversation, and interrupt far more frequently than women, he would just talk over me to tell me all about how women talk too much.
He actually said at one point “women just talk loads and say nothing. Men don’t have to say much because we can just get our point across without the chat”.
All while he was giving me his opinion and refusing to listen to anything I had to say based on my 5 years of linguistic knowledge and 24 years of experience as a woman.
I mean…
you heard it here first folks, throw out those khakis and get yourself a nice non-tight coffee-colored turtleneck
The sheer misogyny. Wow.
Tumblr is way too US- and Britain-centric. It's annoying how any discourse is seen only through the lens of these places and people.
ha?
Is it really asking for too much to be able to go out alone at night as a woman and not get sexually harassed or assaulted? We can't even have this basic freedom; then men say "Just don't go out if you're so afraid." Way to avoid the actual issue. 🤦🏽♀️
What if I say we ban all cishet men from going out at night for the safety of everyone else. There would be an uproar. Men only see the absurdity of their arguments when they're directed against them.
not to mention natural hair..
The giant double standard.
"This country was founded by a group of slave owners who told us that all men are created equal. To my mind, that is what's known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit." - George Carlin
...PolitiFact going through history to fact check this guy was like that time CNN went through history to dig up dirt on Bernie, and all they found were videos of him planting trees, and telling kids that racism is bad.
