every single negative stereotype about women was dreamt up by men who were projecting. fight me about it.
âwomen canât driveâ
It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.
âwomen never shut upâ
Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.
âwomen are shallowâ
Lol next
âmy wife is my ball and chain lmaoâ
Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a manâs chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a womanâs chances of getting a raise or promotion
âwomen are too emotionalâ
Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. Weâre taught to put menâs needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.
I could go on and on but I donât really think I need to.
âwomen canât driveâ (The Guardian) (CBS News) (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)
âwomen talk to muchâ (PBS, resources included)
âwomen are shallowâ (just read the book, Dataclysm. by okcupid founder (?) that includes data about sex, gender, race, in finding online romantic partners)
âball and chainâ (University of London)
for all you pissbabies crying about sources

I never see anyone talking about how kids can abuse adults though.Â
Growing up I saw a lot of adult teachers get bullied by students and it sucked. They would purposely push them to their breaking point until they exploded, yelled, cursed, threw desks, and the ones who didnât have that kind of reaction would just quit or end up fired because the kids would start rumors. One was because our new math teacher was effeminate so the guys thought âobviously this guy is gay and heâs after our dicksâ and if he was ever nice to a male student (which⊠he was nice and friendly with EVERYONE and was the best teacher weâd had that year) they would start whispering behind me, âyo, look at that, did you see that? Heâs flirting with his male students, thatâs nastyâ and so they made trouble for him.Â
My mother worked at a Discovery Zone type place when I was little and she would come home and break down crying because groups of little boys would call her names, call her stupid her whole shift.
I had friends in childhood who absolutely abused their parents. They were relentless and mean and hacked them into submission and it made for a lot of awkward moments when I would hang with them, because I couldnât do anything since⊠they were my abuser too.
Just because youâre a minor doesnât mean knives you throw are not sharp and wonât hit someone. The fact that so many kids on this site use their age as a weapon, as a way to say âbut nothing I do has any impact because I have no social powerâ is SCARY and we need to try to make people aware of this kind of stuff from a young age because most people who are like that donât really realize it and they need guidance and rehabilitation so the cycle can stop. Because those people grow up and have kids and do it to their kids and they donât learn that itâs not normal or okay, that they cannot deny reality by controlling the people around them.Â
But sometimes it isnât always that way, some of those parents were so nice and kind and I considered like family, and they just had absolute evil villains for kids.Â
Check in with yourselves, guys. Especially right now. Thereâs a lot of upsetting stuff being shoved in our faces all the time and it makes it hard not to get tunnel vision when our emotions get out of control, especially with the pressure to perform by a lot of social circles on tumblr. And if youâre young and a lot of this is new, pace yourself, youâre learning, and you need to be open to the idea of learning more and know that us being adults doesnât mean weâre just out of touch boring old farts who donât know anything. Weâve lived things and we have experience and when we say to you that itâs not okay to tell people who like things you do not like to kill themselves, weâre not âapologistsâ⊠weâre the survivors too.Â
yo this is really important
my piano/choir teacher in 6th grade was only around 20-23 whenever she came to our school, and she only stayed for 2 years because all the kids were so awful. one time she told me that me and a few other of my friends were the only ones who hadnât said a bad word about her the whole time.
in 4th grade, we got an awesome music teacher. he was in his late 20âs at the time, really chill and easygoing (we were in elementary school). some of the kids would just slowly drive him off the edge until one day he ended up throwing pens across the room out of frustration and anger. everybody was either scared of him or laughed at him, and it kinda made it worse. he left 2 years later and teaches a civilized and nice group of kids now.
kids really can abuse adults. Iâve seen it happen a lot and itâs sad and heartbreaking and overall awful to see because so many people brush it off as âkids being kids.â
In 7th grade or so I had the most delightful Maths/Science teacher (the two were taught by the same guy) and he was always super nice. Like he adored teaching, he brought us snacks sometimes and like really wanted us to do well.Â
By 8th grade he was a changed man. We had young neo-nazis starting shit. We had kids screaming and throwing shit at him. We had knife fights and Iâm 90% certain I remember him straight up being forced into a position where he had to wrestle one of my more violent classmates to the floor. My class had actually driven this calm, cool, great guy (he couldnâtâve been more than 27 at the time) to actually break down crying in class. As far as I heard he was gone by the time I entered grade 9.Â
I remember lots of my classmates mocking my math teacher because of her accent, when I was a freshman. She was from Syria, in a mexican school. Little pieces of shit were always imitating her accent and mocking her from getting certain words wrong.
I saw her about four years later and she looked so tired of everything, less cheerful and with a tougher attitude from the beginning. Fortunately she still talks to me calmly and smiling, but itâs awful to know sheâs always anxious around thw kids she teaches.
In seventh grade I had a teacher named Ms. Burns. It was only her third year of teaching, and it was her first year of teaching middle school. And the class I had her for?
My fellow classmates were fucking awful to Ms. Burns. They talked over her when she was trying to teach, they made fun of her appearance (said she looked like man and called her a âtrannyâ, or âIt Burnsâ instead of Ms. Burns), and when a few months into the school year, she broke down and screamed at the top of her lungs at the class before sitting down at her desk and crying, they considered it a triumph and laughed about it for weeks.
Being a kid doesnât exempt you from being a piece of shit, and just because, on the whole, adults have more power than minors doesnât mean that minors get a free pass on being purposefully cruel to adults. Some of you on this website really need to learn this.
Discipline your goddamn kids.
Seriously doubling down on the last part because this behavior doesnât form in a fucking vacuum.
ok but one of the worst feelings is being touch starved
You want to touch, but it canât be someone you donât kinda trust, and youâre afraid to ask let alone do it because it fucking sucks when someone belittles your needs or thinks itâs silly, or worse, thinks itâs pathetic
like youâve gone so so long without the touch you need that you are just desperate for it
but you feel stupid for asking, for needing it, so you usually donât
which makes you need it more, because itâs like every day you donât get nice touches the problem gets exponentially worse
and someone touching YOU is like heaven⊠but if you ask for that, itâs gonna nibble at your brain that itâs artificial, that they donât really mean it, that theyâre just humoring you
and it doesnât get better in days or weeks or months, because it didnât get that bad to begin with in days or weeks or months
and the literal WORST thing is someone scorning you for touching them, even though itâs perfectly within their rights to not want to be touched, it is just devastating to the psyche to have someone that you care about enough to want to touch get angry or disgusted or annoyed at you touching them
like
I just want kisses down my spine, on my forehead, someone nuzzling into me, someone hugging me so tight itâs hard to breathe, petting my hair, scratching my head, idly rubbing my back
I want to hold someone, hug them with all my strength, bury my face into their clothes and skin and hair, kiss someone all over, touch them everywhere and do it over and over, run my fingers through their hair, play with their hands and kiss their knuckles and the veins on their wrists
and it hurts, like, I get physically ill if I donât get touch when I have those moments I desperately need it but feel too afraid to seek it
it doesnât even really have to be sexual, or romantic
I just like touch.
And I havenât had enough of it from the people I loved.
So now itâs kind of like a condition. Touch-starved.
And it fucking sucks.
her mindâŠ
I just found out these are all the same fucking person how is she so powerful
the photographer took pictures of this cat before and after calling her beautiful:
Iâm every one in this
MAN 1 (in a high pitched, whiny voice) Look what youâve done to my peonies!
WOMAN (angrily) Theyâre marigolds!
MAN 2 God! I think sheâs right! They are marigolds!
MAN 1 I may not know my flowers, but I know a (yells in her direction) bitch when I see one!
Itâs back!
does anyone ever do the opposite of dissociate?? where youre just suddenly and uncomfortably aware of your situation and realityÂ
more to the point why do i get that feeling when im sitting on top of my kitchen table watching a velveeta mac and cheese pack spin in the microwave for three and a half minutes and im just like I Exist I Am Here And Theres Nothing I Can Do About ItÂ
okay this one wins, everyone can stop reblogging this nowÂ

Social Media changed how we think about the world
college professor just said âyouâre probably too young to even remember thisâ and brought up something that happened in 2011
Better than my professer that said weâd âprobably recognize this from Saturday morning cartoonsâ then showed us a cartoon from 1935âŠ
New immortal vs. old immortal
communication is the foundation
Where are they going? What are they saying?
I donât even care they just sound so beautiful
they are singing s traveling song
Thought: I do NOT think that 50% of the worldâs billionaires should be women. I think there shouldnât be any billionaires at all.
So you are saying 0% of the world should be billionaires?
Why shouldnât their be billionaires? That makes no sense.
Because the existence of billionaires is predicated on the exploitation of human labor and unsustainable environmental harm. That level of wealth hoarding is harmful to economies, as it reduces the amount of money in circulation. No one person, no family, could ever conceivably even SPEND a billion dollars anyway, and it is inherently immoral to accumulate wealth so narrowly while so much of the world lives in abject poverty. Â
Better then to create a wealth ceiling, a point at which all wealth over a certain point is taxed at or very near 100% to incentivize people to actually spend their money rather than hoard it, stimulating the economy and bettering the lives of far more people. Better even still to create and regulate economic systems that protect workers and the environment in a way that such extreme levels of wealth accumulation arenât even feasible.Â
The problem with this is that it reduces the incentive to actually do fiscally well. Whatâs the point of starting a business if you canât become wealthy?
There is a very real difference between âreasonably wealthyâ and A BILLIONAIRE
No one is saying you shouldnât have a nice house, we are saying that having multiple really, really ridiculously nice houses while your employees are either homeless or at serious risk of becoming homeless is immoral.
Iâll never understand why this concept is hard for people. I think itâs because they canât actually fathom how much $1 Billion is.
Seriously.
Letâs say you have a badass job. A great job. You make $100 AN HOUR. You work 10 hours a day ($1000 A DAY), 5 days a week ($5000 a week!!!), every week ($20,000 A MONTH), thats $240,000 Every Year.
It would take you 4,167 years to make a billion dollars.
