#i canât imagine all the black actresses #who were token characters in the 90s #sucking it up thinking itâll pay off one day #end up realizing it never did and never will #because they were never climbing a ladder #they were holding it (via @katielittlekinrit)
But women discrimination is a myth right??
Imagine how many peopleâs lives they ruined. There were probably so many women that went in there knowing they destroyed that test. Yet, when they got their results backâŠthey had to be so confused and disappointed. Mentally and emotionally, that had to be quite the blow. Anyway, this is evil.
This is so evil lmfaoooooo like the world really hates women and we canât even do anything about it. How depressing.
Not just the lives of the women though. Think of the people their medical advancement, learning, studying, could have gone on to save. Think of the lives they could have helped.
think of the under-qualified men who got these positions instead and went on to kill people. the whole reason this was even discovered is this university was accused of doctoring grades to let the son of politically connected man enroll when he was not qualified. literally sabotaging communities.
Listen I know that itâs the 2018-way to immediately compare every single American government corruption to the Nazis but uh, you actually donât need to do an international comparison when trying to show the horrors of separating children from their families and putting them in âcampsâ.
Turns out America did that too:
(The above are pictures from Japanese Internment Camps in WWII, located right here in America. More info on the subject: x )
In fact, they did it more than once:
(The above are pictures of German-Americans who were also detained in American states. More info: x )
In fact, they did it a lot:
(The above are photos from the American Native-American âboarding schoolsâ which separated Native American children from their families so that they could be brainwashed into embracing the white âChristianâ American way. More info: x )
So when you see these appalling images in the news:
donât start comparing America to WWII Germany.
Start comparing America to America.
Because weâve always done this and, as long as we can get away with it, we always will.
i'm sure someone has said it already but have you noticed the "comfy girl" romanticization
doesnât extend to fat people?
a thin girl wearing sweats and a messy bun and old t-shirts or jerseys and slippers and etc. is cute and so loveable and sexy and girl next door like
but a fat girl in the same exact outfit is sloppy and lazy and unattractive and must mean she doesnât care about her appearance and doesnât take care of herself
The further you are from the thin/cis/white/etc. definition of âbeautyâ, the more intensely you are expected to perform femininity as a way to âmake up forâ your failure to be perfect.
What a perfectly succinct way to put it.
I love it when people try to claim representation in fiction is being taken âtoo farâ to the point where itâs no believable. Theyâre like:Â
âWhatâs next, a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum?â Hi, my name is Rachel, also known as Rachna, and Iâm a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum.Â
âWhatâs next, a transgender Latino man with chronic pain?â What, you mean my former colleague, Marco?Â
âWhatâs next, a Black Jewish lesbian?â Bitch, I know I three Black Jewish lesbians, WHATâS YOUR FUCKING POINT?
The scary part is, these people think each part of your identity is one step further away from ânormal,â or even âhuman.â
CALL THEM OUT

call me ignorant but i genuinely donât understand why sports have to be split up by gender.
@ everyone in the notes talking about physical performance: if that were the case, then sports would be divided by physical performance. thatâs a thing you can measure. thatâs a thing that varies by individual. a weak man and a strong man would be an unfair fight in boxing/wrestling/MMA, which is why they divide those sports up into weight groups based on physical performance. but they also further segregate them based on gender. chess is segregated by gender for no reason but sexism. if itâs actually about skill and physical ability, then measure those and separate people by those metrics. donât do some bullshit gender segregation and pretend like men and women are inherently on different levels no matter their individual abilities.
Remember that time a teenage girl struck out Babe Ruth? Thatâs fucking why. Men are afraid of being beaten by women.
Remember that time male swimmers were pulled out of training because Kate Ledecky was leaving them âbrokenâ by swimming better than them? Remember how she didnât even notice, because she was busy actually training?
Sharing this in case somebody doesnât know
Wow I never knew this. BW for the win!

Informative Ancient Egypt Comics:Â BROS
Our 1st place contest winner requested a Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep comic as their prize.
I took a class about Ancient Egypt last semester and we had a whole lecture dedicated to talking about how gay Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep were. Their tomb walls were decorated with scenes of them ignoring their wives in favor of embracing each other. In one scene, the couple is seated at a banquet table that is usually reserved for a husband and wife. Thereâs an entire motif of Khnumhotep holding lotus flowers which in ancient Egyptian tradition symbolizes femininity. Khnumhotep offers the lotus flower to Niankhkhnum, something that only wives were ever depicted as doing for their husbands. In fact, Khnumhotep is repeatedly depicted as uniquely feminine, being shown smaller and shorter than his partner Niankhkhnum and being placed in the role of a woman. Size is a big deal in Egyptian art, husbands are almost always shown as being larger and taller than their wives. So for two men of equal status to be shown in once again, a marital fashion, is pretty telling. Not to mention they were literally buried together which is the strongest bond two people could share in ancient Egypt, as it would mean sharing the journey to the afterlife together. And yet 90% of the academic text about these two talks about these clues in vague terms and analyze the great âbrotherhoodâ they shared, and the enigma of Khnumhotep being depicted as feminine. Apparently itâs too hard for archaeologists to accept homosexuality in the ancient world, as well as the possibility of trans individuals.
On the last note, I was walking around the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and there is a mummy on exhibit. It caught my attention because the panel that was describing it was talking about how it was a womanâs body in a male coffin and wow, the Egyptian working that day really screwed that up. My summary, not actual words, sorry I canât remember verbatim but it basically said that someone screwed up.
They claimed that the Egyptians screwed up a burial.
The Egyptians. Screwed up. A burial.
Now Iâm not an expert in Ancient Egypt but from what I know, and what the exhibit was telling me, burials and the afterlife and all that jazz DEFINED the Egyptian religion and culture. They donât just âscrew upâ. So instead of thinking outside the box for two seconds and wonder why else a genetically female body was in a male coffin, the âresearchersâ blatantly disregard the rest of their research and decided to call it a screw up. Instead of, you know, admitting that maybe this mummy presented as male during his life and was therefore honorably buried as he was identified. But it would be too much of a stretch to admit that a transgender person could have existed back then.
(Sorry I canât find any sources online and itâs been like 2 years but it stuck in my mind)
Thereâs a lot of bigoted historian dragging on my dash these days and it makes me happy.
Once again, more proof that we queers have ALWAYS been here, and itâs a CHOSEN narrative to erase them.
No Homo: A History
Dr. Poison from "Wonder Woman" is one of the latest.
The idea that to be beautiful means to be good and to be disfigured means to be evil is not new. Itâs a really tired, unoriginal trend in the movie industry, and only perpetuates damaging beliefs about individuals with facial differences.
I know this is going to be dismissed as some fucking snowflake nonsense but I work in a paediatric burns unit and the effects of this trope are gut wrenching and so, so damaging.

We now live in a world where new accusations of sexual harassment and/or assault get dropped on the daily. Because it was getting hard to keep track of, D.C. web designer Chris Herbert created The Creep Sheet, the âmost complete listâ of accused public figures.
We list accusations that have been published in credible, mainstream publications. Please note that in most cases, the allegations listed here have not been proved or disproved in court proceedings.
For me, there were some surprise names on the list, like Mariah Carey (sexual harassment) and former president Ronald Reagan (rape).
Herbert has also created a âBy the Numbersâ page:
me: I want ONE cheesy Christmas movie with 2 women falling in love heterosexuals: uM???? EXCUSE ME????? WHAT ABOUT US??? also heterosexuals:
People that get invested in fiction and examine fictional lore need to learn how to tell the difference between which lore is actually important to the series and which lore is an excuse for something.
If Dwarven women are capable of growing beards, but have cultural reasons not to, that is an excuse that they made not to give them beards.
If a female character can only wear skimpy clothing for some given reason, that is an excuse to sexualize her.
If an organization can only be populated men, that is often an excuse to not have to create female characters.
Its all made up. It isnât a foundation of the universe that they canât control. They wrote it to be like that.
