reblog if you're a cat person.
i’m curious to see how this turns up. dog person post here.
when your friend stops replying
Imagine you’re at a party. A guy offers you a drink. You say no. He says “Come on, one drink!” You say “no thanks.” Later, he brings you a soda. “I know you said you didn’t want a drink, but I was getting one for myself and you looked thirsty.” For you to refuse at this point makes you the asshole. He’s just being nice, right? Predators use the social contract and our own good hearts and fear of being rude against us. If you drink the drink, you’re teaching him that it just takes a little persistence on his part to overcome your “no.” If you say “Really, I appreciate it, but no thanks” and put the drink down and walk away from it, you’re the one who looks rude in that moment. But the fact is, you didn’t ask for the drink and you don’t want the drink and you don’t have to drink it just to make some guy feel validated.
The art of “no,” continued: Saying no when you’ve already said yes. « CaptainAwkward.com
I love this post SO MUCH.

This is absofuckinglutely true. Predators deliberately find the women they can manipulate out of a “no” in order to pick the most vulnerable women to coerce. If you see a guy doing this to someone else, step the fuck in. Amplify her “no” if you see her struggling to assert herself to someone pushy.
I’ve done this for a total stranger. When I said “I think she said no” he started acting sort of aggressive and told me to mind my own business, but she was looking at me with panic and when I asked if she knew him she said no. After it was clear I wasn’t budging he left, and after he left she told me she had been uncomfortable and didn’t know what to do, and that he’d grabbed her inappropriately.
Protect each other. Not everyone is able to voice a “no” firmly and repeatedly. Learn the skill and protect others who are still learning it.

this picture is making me really angry
can someone more eloquent than I am please comment with a list of badass female warriors/soldiers in history because i know there have been quite a lot
Tomoe Gozen. 12th Century Japan. Concubine of Minamoto no Yoshinaka, and one of his most famous warriors, called a Demon in Battle and renowned as a swordswoman and archer. Was ordered to flee the final destruction of the Minamoto Clan at the end of the Genpei War by her Lord. While leaving the battlefield, encountered a group of enemy soldiers: rode straight into their formation, pulled their leader out of his saddle, pinned him against her horse, and took his head. She then vanishes from history, never to be heard from again.
Queen Boudicca. Britain, first Century AD. Queen of the Iceni tribe of Celts. After her daughters were raped and she was flogged and humiliated by Roman soldiers, led the Iceni and other tribes of Britain in revolt, leading to the deaths of tens of thousands of Roman soldiers and a near-rout from the British peninsula. Was finally defeated by the Roman general Suetonius, and committed suicide to avoid capture. Is probably the only woman to have her statue in a city she burned to the ground (London).
Princess Zhao Pingyang. 7th Century China. Daughter of Emperor Gaozu. Raised an army on his behalf and led them into battle. Was given full military honors upon her death: one of the only women so honored in Medieval China.
——-
Queen Suryothai, 16th Century Siam (Thailand). Fought in single combat against a Burmese Viceroy, sacrificing herself to save the life of her husband and King.
——-
Aethelflaed of Mercia. 10th Century Britain. Well known for her skills as a tactician and for building many of the castles in Mercia that still stand to this day.
——-
Khawlah bint al-Azwar. 7th Century Arabia, a contemporary of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Once rallied a group of female prisoners into defeating their Byzantine captors using their tent poles. The namesake of the UAE’s first women’s military college.
——-
Finally, let me tell you about what the women were doing while the men were out in some cold, wet field, having their bodies hacked at with swords and axes. They weren’t sitting around a hearth gossiping with their friends. While the men were out fighting, the women were working the fields every day, bringing in the harvests, slaughtering animals, butchering, preserving meat, working their goddamn asses. off. They kept the houses secure. They repaired roofs and spun wool into thread and wove thread into cloth: difficult work today, backbreaking in medieval times. Often times, they did these things while pregnant or raising small children.
They faced disease, starvation, and the constant threat of having some band of raiders come in and rape, pillage, plunder, and slaughter them while their menfolk were off fighting in war. Medieval women, even those who did not fight, were hard, determined, and skilled experts in the arts of survival, farming, weaving, spinning, and motherhood who engaged in backbreaking labor that often killed them at a young age, and they deserve better than to have some adolescent-minded asshole sitting in his warm, comfortable first-world home rant about “feminine privilege.”
So fuck you, original poster. I hope you step on a LEGO.
Did my best to fix it

You’d think someone who lives so detached from reality would give fantasy artists and writers more credit…

This pleases me.
Also, the Celts allowed women to fight, and basically do everything men were allowed to do.
Although, most of their armor was leather, from what I remember.
Also, even if you’re thinking of more typical “knights in shining armor” I’m fairly sure I’ve seen female metal armor sets at Higgins Armory in MA. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to go and check. But yeah.
Celts.
Don’t forget Joan of Arc. I’m pretty sure her armor covered all of her.
I feel bad for the OP of this graphic. I mean, how embarrassing must it be to have a graphic 17k notes strong completely dedicated to the fact that he doesn’t know shit about shit and has such a shallow and useless working knowledge of history that he couldn’t even think of a single female in any army ever.
Like wow. That must be rough on you. To have your ignorance broadcast to thousands of people like that in a full color poster, in gorgeous RGB color, completely dedicated to the fact that you are a complete idiot. I’ll pray for him.
Not just Celts. Vikings, Huns and Mongols were known to have a lot of female warriors.
Not to mention, most peasant women who stayed at home while their husbands were on campaign for whichever royal owned his farm? They had to know how to defend the homestead in case of enemy soldiers or bandits or just some roving drunk assholes happening to stop by. And they did that WITHOUT armor. They just picked up whatever farm tools or weapons they had to hand and took care of business.
And speaking of famous warrior ladies, don’t forget Hua Mulan!
This Tang Dynasty Chinese asskicker is even more BAMF in real life than she was in the Disney movie. Depending on which epic poem you read, she also teamed up with a militant princess named Xianniang during the course of her adventures, and managed to keep her bits’n’pieces a secret from her soldiers until the day she took off her armor to return home.
At which point they all went, “Okay, so all those times she told us to grow a pair…she meant…ah ha.”
Somebody mentioned Joan of Arc. Full plate mail there. Led an army of thousands for France and scared the English so much that they wouldn’t concluded peace negotiations with the Dauphin until Joan was handed over for a summary trial and execution. (Because being called by God Himself to lead armies apparently does not excuse the fact that she wore pants and was violently opposed to being raped by her jailers.)
And to cap it off: Mother. Fucking. SHIELDMAIDENS.
Lagertha, wife of Ragnar Lothbrok, was one of the biggest badasses in any Viking saga. According to Saxo Grammaticus,
Ladgerda, a skilled Amazon, who, though a maiden, had the courage of a man, and fought in front among the bravest with her hair loose over her shoulders. All-marveled at her matchless deeds, for her locks flying down her back betrayed that she was a woman.
She saves Ragnar’s ass multiple times during his campaigns at home and abroad, including procuring ships, soldiers, provisions, and lots and lots of dead enemy combatants. One particular story tells of her soldiers panicking and Lagertha sternly directing the disordered retreat around into the enemy camp, turning the rout into an all-out stampede to victory.
And you better believe that SHE had armor.
So yeah. OP does not know SHIT about female warriors.
Just goes to show you, kids. Do your research before you open your mouth, or someone will take that knowledge and ram it down your throat.
also women of samurai families were taught to defend themselves in case enemies came to attack their home while the men were out.
and spartan women were just as rigorously trained (in different things but still) so they could devend their homes
Also, let’s add to this the recent discovery that a great deal of viking warrior corpses presumed to be men were proven to be women and were dressed so similarly and buried with such similar respect that no one apparently noticed in some odd 60 to 100 years of “extensive” research.
