#iusuallydontdothisbut I’m so sick of white people saying nigga. It’s heart breaking that the conversation of it being okay is still being had. Surely, nigger and nigga are two different words but we must not forget where nigga was derived from. Nigger was used by white people as a way to berate and belittle black men and women, and was later coined as ‘nigga’ as a form of ownership and empowerment despite its horrific history. ~We now lack cultural fortitude and responsibility. I am tired of suppressing my values and having them treated as ‘sensitivities’ while you chant rap songs in my face….white girl you have never been a nigga, you will never be a nigga, stop using it like it is yours. You are not my nigga, I am not yours. Your “this nigga” and “that nigga” are not pacified because I said it. It is just as saddening when people of color denounce the issue and allow it to go on. Racism is alive and well, in the most aversive ways. Be cognizant of your role. ✨

“- Buy lace underwear and model it around at home. You’re a goddess, own it. - Realize the fact that if somebody can’t see your virtues doesn’t it mean you don’t have them. - Pamper yourself. Fill the bathtub with hot water, throw in a bath bomb, jump in, play some music and enjoy. Exfoliate your skin, wash your hair, use a hair mask. Don’t dare to leave the bathroom till you’ve polished every single inch of your body. Try to polish your soul too. - Remember situations you faced in the past. Realize they’re not a big deal anymore. That bad anxiety you had two months ago suddenly seem so small you might just want to laugh for being so silly, and now it’s over all those tears you cried are the most pointless thing ever. This will happen over and over again, so next time you face a problem remember in a year from now it will be insignificant. - Go for a walk on your own. Walk aimlessly without a finish line. Come back home when you’re tired, no need to hurry. - Doodle. Maybe you think you’re doing not so great at living but your watercolors skills are still on point. - Buy yourself flowers. This one needs no explanation. - Clean bed sheets are always a good idea. - Stare at yourself in a mirror after a long nap and admire how glowing, beautiful and dreamy your face looks. Naps work wonders. - In fact, stare at yourself on a mirror daily. Each time compliment on something. Maybe today you like your hair but don’t enjoy the shape of your lips, but that’s ok because tomorrow you’ll be delighted at how cute your smile is even tho your hair might be a mess. Learn to love you. - Bake cookies just to eat with your fingers the remaining cookie dough. Everybody knows that’s the best part of baking. - Forgive yourself.”

The swinging pendulum of sexism arrives! Ladies, Men can get raped too. Remember that.

[abbysucks]

Just to put some perspective in this for those people who may be confused at how a guy can get a boner but not really be sexually charged, so to speak… Ladies, you know how your nipples get hard for seemingly no reason (sans stepping into a cold room anyway)? You go to put on a shirt and your nipples are poking out like they haven’t seen daylight in over 40 years? Or you brush them up against something and BAMMO, nipple town? Or someone slaps you in the tits and they’re standing full mister?

You get where I’m going with this? Your sexual organs are built to respond to stimulus, be it one you personally find sexually gratifying or not.  Saying a dude who gets a boner while he’s otherwise not consenting to sex is lying about the fact would be like saying any girl who gets wet while getting raped is actually enjoying it/wants it.

so… you know… dont be stupid about this people. guys can get raped too and girls can most definitely be the fuckin perps.

[dicksilhouette]

People who think men don’t get raped are just as bad as the people who think men can’t control their urges to rape women. It happens less often, but it still happens, and it’s just as traumatizing for the male victim. You can’t just disregard a victim based on their gender.

[kusse-blog]

Can we also include that females can rape other females and males can rape other males too? Every.Single.Person.Can.Be.A.Victim.Or.An.Offender

[cognitivedissonance]

All of the above.

[tree-of-blue-squirrel]

Basically, if a person doesn´t give you any verbal consent, IT IS NO CONSENT! ALSO! If they are under influences of legal or illegal drugs/alcohol, IT IS STILL NOT A CONSENT!

like seriously, what´s so hard to understand about that geez

[emeraldmercury]

Also a common response to rape is to freeze in fear and allow it to happen. So just because a person didn’t scream or fight back, doesn’t mean they consented to it. 

[durnesque-esque]

This doesn’t begin and end with rape either. I live and work with men who get sexually assaulted on the regular at their jobs because “they’re men, they must want to get touched” “men always want sexual attention.”

Consent is for everyone and every situation. Period.
