so apparently, monocles became a popular fashion accessory amongst lesbians in the early 20th century. there was even a lesbian bar in Paris in the 1920s named Le Monocle.

“LIFE HACK lie to your spouse and ruin your things!”
what the fuck is wrong with straights
why the fuck do straight people hate being honest with each other
This is so childish and unnecessary, I hope she left
This isn’t a Straight People® thing, it’s misogyny.
Yeah, I was going to say–this is straight up misogyny. It’s called “learned helplessness” when men feign or cultivate helplessness to get women to do household labor for them. Society perpetuates the myth that women are naturally better at domestic labor than men, and plenty of men consciously or subconsciously exploit this myth. Men do this–not “the straights.” Queer men are perfectly capable of doing this to female family members, so don’t pretend it’s just a straight “person” thing.
The worst part of it is that it is perfectly normal if a woman wants a job they are still expected to do all the household chores , make dinner , take care of kids etc… regardless of how long of a work day they have men can just sit on there assess all day long and as long as they punched the clock they are done it sucks and it pisses me off so much
The truth of it is, eventually the girlfriend/wife is going to look at those unwashed dishes and realize that no matter how many times her male partner says he’s going to start doing his fair share of the household labor, he never will. Every time he said he would, he was lying. And he’s going to keep lying.
And sometimes she figures it out right away, and sometimes it takes 15 years, but eventually she does figure it out, and then she leaves him.
And this is why marriage rates are so low and divorce rates are so high.
Men keep telling fellow men that this is sustainable behavior, that they can happily exploit their female partners this way forever, and it will never backfire on them.
And then they turn 37 and get served divorce papers and they wonder what happened.

via Mitch Baird: “We were witness to something beautiful today. These two men are the same two men who were in that picture that went viral. Only in that picture, the gentleman on the right was wearing red face and feathers and angrily screaming at Robert Roche on the left. Today this man came up and asked for the forgiveness of my mentor and all those present. True to form, Robert graciously forgave him and listened to what he had to say. This baseball fan used my megaphone to address the wrong in how he acted previously. I watched my hero become an even more honored and cherished elder in one moment. This is the moment they shook hands and peace was made. I’m blessed to have been witness to this. — with Bee Schrull in Cleveland, Ohio.”
Never give up hope that people can change.
Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.
so I believe it was actually more complicated than that, in interesting ways. Because at first, when they did blind auditions, they were STILL hiring more men.
…Then they put down a carpet, so that high heels didn’t clack on the floor, and BOOM women were suddenly getting hired.
The testers didn’t even know that’s what they were picking up on, which just goes to show how tiny of a cue it takes for misogyny to kick in.
The case of blind auditions for orchestras and how it dramatically changed the gender makeup of orchestras is a very illuminating example of gender bias, and an interesting possible way of countering it.
The Price Slave Women Paid For The “Birth” Of Modern Gynecology
If taking a stroll through New York’s Central Park, one might see the statue of Dr. James Marion Sims. Known as the “father of gynecology,” His greatest achievement and claim to fame was curing the problem of the vesico-vaginal fistula. However, controversy exists because he found his surgical cure, use of silver sutures and speculum from performing a number of trial and error procedures on slave women from 1845 to 1849.
Since the mid- twentieth century, academia has debated whether Sims was an ingenuous doctor who furthered the progression of medical science for women or a 19th monster who conducted painful unethical experiments on women who couldn’t say “No.”
In 1993 Durrenda Ojanuga, Ph.D. wrote that the problem with Sims’ experiments were that he used the institution of slavery to harbor human guinea pigs to perfect his procedures. Violating all concepts of human rights and medical ethics, the women were property subject to Sims’ trial and error experiments.
According to Ojanuga, such slave experimentation was not popular at the time. Rumors and whispers even began to circulate around town about the young doctor who kept experimental slaves. Other doctors would engage in experiments often using white patients with informed consent, according to Ojanuga. The slave women possessed no agency, no means to deny the upwards 30 operations endured for four years each. As property of their master, it was he who determined that they should be submitted to experimentation, not them.
Ojanuga writes that after the procedure was perfected, White women wanted the vesico- vaginal fistula operation as well. However, no White woman could endure the operation without anesthesia and it was only after use of anesthetics that Sims was able to do the surgery at the Women’s Hospital he later founded.
Although it was commonly believed that Blacks did not feel the same pain as Whites, the truth was that the slave women, as human chattel, could not cease the operation like the White women. In a time when investigation of almost any malady involving the vagina was considered improper amongst White male doctors, slave women served as the means to further Euro-American medicine due to their subjugated status. Being powerless, they could only endure the extreme pain and embarrassment that was repeatedly administered. Sims experiments are “…a classic example of the evils of slavery,” wrote Ojanuga, “and the misuse of human subjects for medical research.”

Jeff Duncan-Andrade - Growing Roses in Concrete
“1 in 3 urban youth display the symptoms of mild to severe PTSD. And when you compare that data to the military data what you find is urban youth are actually twice as likely as soldiers returning from Iraq to get PTSD.”
This presentation is crucial to educators interested in the future and empowerment of urban youth of color. View the entire video here.
it never goes well. when have you ever seen a woman give up everything she is and aspires to be in order to be with some guy, and it turns out to have a happy ending?

The Equal Justice Initiative is building a memorial for lynching victims — and it’s about time.
The Equal Justice Initiative announced on Tuesday that it will build the first-ever national memorial to lynching victims in Montgomery, Alabama. Titled “Memorial to Peace and Justice,” the EJI project will sit on six acres of land that used to be a public housing project in Montgomery.
The structure will include the thousands of lynching victims’ names on concrete columns, which will represent hundreds of U.S. counties where the acts took place. The memorial will also coincide with the opening of a museum.
