“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “

oh

my

god

omg

oh my fucking god

[freedominwickedness]

The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.

Here’s one study. Here’s another. And another.

Men in female dominated fields are entitled as hell. Don’t get it twisted

teaching is a female-dominated field but most principals are male

librarianship is a female-dominated field but most directors are male

i’m so done with the way girls in twenties are treated. i’m so done with people who literally create timetable for us. 20- 24  find a guy, 24-26 make him propose to you, 27-29 get married. i’m so done. i’m do not want to get 2 a.m texts from my best friend who is freaking out that she is gonna die alone. i do not want see my 20 years old friend wasting her time on some guys who are not even interested in her. i do not want see us falling for every nice guy who does not look creepy. i do not want to see girls get sad or paranoid just bcos they do not fill in the schedule. you are ok. you should enjoy your life at its fullest and one day you will find 10/10 so do not pursue 6 just because you do not want to be single. it is ok and one day you will find someone. do not split your love with people who does not deserve it. keep it for yourself and when time will come you will know. i know it hurts. i know you wish u could just open part of yourself and release the buzzing love. but not every kind of love is romantic. show it to your family, friends, plants, yourself.

[kaerya]

Not a real criticism, just an expansion really, but …  it’s not just the timetables we need to get away from, but the goal itself, I think.  “One day you will find someone,” sounds comforting, but the reason it doesn’t lay fears to rest is because we are all smart enough to know it’s not necessarily true.

My aunt is over sixty, never married, and never, so far as I am aware, ever even had a great romance.  She dated a lot, but never clicked and now seems to have given up.  My mentor is over seventy, divorced her asshole husband more than half her life ago and has never found anyone since.

We all know women (and men) like these.  And because we know them, we know that “one day you will find someone,” is just … hogwash.  Because sometimes you just … don’t.  Or sometimes you do, but he turns out to be a cad.  Or you do and the universe rips you apart in the most unfair way possible.  And because society has us so fixated on finding “our other half” or whatever, we view these women as cautionary tales.

But … 

My aunt trains dogs.  Her schipperke is the national champion for his breed.  She spent so much of her life as a librarian, nurturing the love of books in kids, myself among them.  I ride horses because of her, and it’s one of the very few things I do that makes my soul feel at peace.

My mentor is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in her state.  She has devoted her life to fighting to ensure that everyone gets a vigorous defense.  Because of her countless people have had the opportunity to turn their lives around.  Because of her, they’ve had a life to turn around.  Because of her, the prosecution and the police in her jurisdiction are forced to behave ethically and adhere to the rule of law.  She’s still, even now fighting to abolish the death penalty.  It’s because of her that I am pursuing the life I am.

These women’s lives are not nothing.  In fact they are a whole lot of something, and it makes my heart hurt that I ever, in my dark 3 am’s, thought of their lives as something to be avoided at all costs.

So love your family, your friends, your pets, your gardens.  Love your job or your hobby or your raison d’ etre, whatever it is.  Love sunsets and the smell of rain and yourself, and don’t love these as something to do as a placeholder until the buzzing, romantic love comes, but love these as things worth loving all in themselves.

It’s fucking hard some days.  The dark 3 am’s still come sometimes.  But most days, I am so much more at peace knowing that I am not incomplete or waiting, but that my life, if it ended today, is worth it because of the platonic, familial, friendship love I have shared.  And if the other kind does come someday, that’ll be nice, but it won’t make any of the others less.  It’ll just be caramel sauce on a sundae–tasty and wonderful, but the sundae was perfect without it too.

Why

[loremerchant]

This is demonstrating why you absolutely do not pour water on a grease fire.

[tha-spaso-koupes]

holy shit

[justalifelongphase]

Okaaaay. If any of you actually have a grease fire in the kitchen put the lid on the pan. It will suffocate the flames. Don’t pour water on it, and don’t freak out. Cook safely!

[gician]

Or throw flour on it to smother it.

[birdpapi-deactivated20171121]

/quick safety announcement

[nijuukoo]

NO, DO NOT USE FLOUR, DO NOT USE FLOUR TO SMOTHER A FIRE.

YOU HAVE TO USE BAKING SODA.

Throwing flour into a fire can cause it to combust and make the fire worse because FLOUR/SUGAR IS FLAMMABLE. One cup of flour into a grease fire can have the explosive force of dynamite.

The reason you use baking soda is that it releases carbon dioxide when heated, and CO2 is a fire suppressant.

REBLOGGING FOR LAST COMMENT TO SAVE LIVES

[myrosecolouredgirl]

today on “pettiest shit i’ve ever seen:”

the new york times and the washington post both waited until air force one took off, then each published separate Really Big stories with not a ton of overlap, almost like they’d made a backroom deal to decide which paper got which story and that they should both wait until the president was out of the country to drop them

and then this happened

[hellotrickster]

and the president and his administration are trapped on a plane with reporters for FOURTEEN HOURS

[nonsequiturtle]

half-typing something into yr address bar expecting it to autofill and ending up on google searching tumb or twi is like doing a trust fall and getting fucking dropped

[attndotcom]

A brilliant explanation of consent for anyone who STILL doesn’t get it. 

[cosmicutie]

It makes me sick to my stomach that we have to explain this so thoroughly.

[sapphrikahhh]

Even sicker that you don’t have to use a grand amount for the metaphor, not $1000, not even $20. Men can understand the store of value of $5 more than they can understand the concept of women as humans.

[tundrakatiebean]

I think what’s saddest about the whole thing is that it always has to be a metaphor about an object for them to get it. Like the classic comparison to someone getting robbed because they were dressed rich so they were asking for it.

The only understand when women are compared to objects because that’s what they see is as.

Emma Watson addresses Vanity Fair photo controversy

[calitrophywife]

Wasn’t she the one saying shut about Beyoncé but 🐸☕️

[scarimor-deactivated20180521]

No she wasn’t. On the contrary, Emma Watson praised Beyonce’s feminism, in a long discussion article in which she talked about how Beyonce takes control of the male gaze that’s so ubiquitous in music videos, and owns it, defying the common instruction to women in the business to present the illusion of their availability to men who watch; and how what Beyonce does broadens feminism and how empowering Beyonce’s feminism is.

And then white male media pushing assholes lifted two lines out of it to quote out of context to fool folk into thinking she criticised her instead.

Because misogynists hate women and feminism and want to divide us.

[yaminoendo]

It was that asshole Piers Morgan, right? He does this kind of shit all the time, he’s too scared of women that won’t bow down to men and lick their feet. I’m still paying to the universe for him to fall in a pit, preferently one that goes to Hell.

[scarimor-deactivated20180521]

yeah he was the latest, which prompted Emma Watson to tweet the 2014 article so everyone can see her fangirling Beyonce.

[holyromanhomo]

FEMINISM IS NOT A STICK WITH WHICH TO BEAT OTHER WOMEN WITH

Someone tattoo this on my forehead, also thank fucking god someone finally responded to this because I’ve been beyond tired of hearing misinformation about Emma Watson.

not to sound too millennial here but it annoys me so much when I’m at a restaurant and someone I’m with will complain about the service being slow like buddy pal it’s fine it’s not that important

[botesregias-deactivated20180419]

[nyamss]

Millenials, the melancholic, generation?

For the longest time we have been hearing how bad, the Millennial generation is – by Millennial Generation I mean, people born between the 1980s to mid-1990s; how we are always complaining and thinking about the past too much, and how we must get over it and stop thinking we are the center of the universe.

That people might be right, but there is a reason why we are like this.

I was born in 1991. When I was a kid, I spent all of my afternoons playing outside, and not going back home until dawn. During our school lunch breaks, we played skip rope, basketball, football, baseball and hopscotch but also, we stayed in the library, drawing, reading or using the Encyclopedias and Dictionaries they had for our projects. Our school backpacks were heavier than us, but we still had enough space for our Walkmans. When we were used to them, we had to start using Discmans, and when we started getting used to them, we had to change to mp3s.

Technology was crawling into our lives and we were oblivious. We swapped some of those outdoors activities for a PlayStation game and a GameBoy – choosing between Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle turned into one our biggest doubts. White box computers, noisy internet connections and the famous Windows95 labyrinth screensaver, appeared in our rooms, and we didn’t how big that was going to get.

We were old enough to remember our lives before and after technology . Before our behaviour changed. We grew up, now we are conscious about the changes we had to live, and wonder where it all changed. We are only in our early 20s. Our parents grew up being completely outside, and our kids will grow up being completely inside. We are the ones that had both and we miss it. Of course we do. We miss everything because we never had enough time to fully enjoy anything.

[doublesslightpeppa-deactivated2]

people: omg how are you single????

me *internally*: because i have deeply rooted emotional issues and a debilitating fear that im not good enough for anything

me: guess I just haven’t caught my fiSH yet! haha reel one in for me if you find one, sharon!!

[jq37]

You know who did the teen hero thing right? Kim Possible, that’s who. She never messed around with that secret identity thing or with not letting her parents or friends know what she was doing so she never had to deal with, “Oh, I’m gonna miss this important family event to save the world”  or, “What’ll happen in my friends find out my secret identity?” bullcrap. It was like, “Mom, Dad. I gotta go deal with this Drakken sitch,” and they’d just be like, “Have fun. Tell Ron we said hi.” She had that hero/personal life balance thing on lock. I aspire to have my life as in balance as Kim Possible.
