Am I the only one that’s a just a tiny bit pissed off that this is still an issue?

[livelongandgetiton]

The Original Series wasn’t even in the general VICINITY of fucking around yo

[ameliacgormley]

How many shows these days would do this, and do it this way? These days, it would be all, “Ohh, we have to be sensitive and show the nuances of each side” and try not to make either side seem wrong. It wouldn’t be clearly spelled out, “pro-choice is right, if you’re against it you’re the bad guys.”

[elljayvee]

Jim Kirk is not here for your anti-birth-control, anti-choice, pro-death-penalty BS

[chandri]

James Tiberius Kirk was written and portrayed as a feminist and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

[ellidfics]

Yep.  That episode is exactly what you think it is:  pro-birth control, pro-population control, pro-choice, and pro-women’s right to choose.  And yes, Kirk, the supposed playboy of the spaceways, is in favor of all of the above.

It was written and aired in 1969.  

It probably couldn’t air today.

THINK ABOUT THAT.

Also LMAO at all the sad whiny geek boys who are like “I miss the GOOD OLD DAYS of SCI-FI when it wasn’t all about SOCIAL ISSUES and instead it was just about MEN HAVING FUN IN SPACE. Like Star Trek! Star Trek wouldn’t put up with all this SOCIAL JUSTICE FEMINISM IN SCI FI bullshit!” And meanwhile I’m just over here like “…did you actually watch the show?”

It’s also important to bear in mind that the Original Series had a predominantly female fanbase, and during its initial run, was widely mocked and dismissed by mainstream (i.e., male) science fiction fans as being fake sci-fi for girls. It’s difficult to overstate the influence women had on the franchise in its early days; most of the early Star Trek conventions were organised by and for women, and indeed, those same organisers were primarily responsible for the massive letter-writing campaign that prevented the show from being cancelled after the 1968 season. Without that campaign, the episode pictured in this post would never have been made.

The popular image of James Kirk as a sleazy womaniser is part of a conscious effort to erase that history and render the franchise’s roots palatable to the misogynistic geekboys of the modern SF/F fandom.

[fuckyeahsources]

For a summary of those points, see “Star Trek’s Underappreciated Feminist History” by Shannon Mizzi, which draws from Patricia Vettel-Becker’s “Space and the Single Girl: Star Trek, Aesthetics, and 1960s Femininity”.

And a gentle reminder that TOS was a Desilu production, which its board of directors voted to cancel after the second pilot due to cost concerns, a vote that Chairman Lucille Ball overruled. There is no Star Trek without Lucille Ball.

God he is the fucking worst. 

[wehavesuchfunsies]

Does he just HATE fun.

[abloodymess]

It’s almost weird that all of these films center around women, it’s almost like he doesn’t like women at all. Couldn’t be that though. He is a serious artist. 

[wehavesuchfunsies]

!!!!!!

[abloodymess]

It’s almost like this new wave of horror is hitting on the horror of being a woman, how terrifying that can be and dudes are violently rejecting that because it isn’t about them.

public school lunch aesthetic

-random applause that eventually encompasses the entire cafeteria -skipping classes to go to your friend’s lunch periods -”come with me i dont wanna go alone” -not knowing who you’re singing happy birthday for -“hey if i pay you will you go through the line and get me something” -knowing your id number so you can actually eat -only wearing your id during lunch period -that ONE security guard -”what’s even for lunch today” -HOLY FUCK IT’S CHICKEN NUGGET DAY -those girls who chill in the bathroom doing their makeup -fights = dinner AND a show -”hey what lunch do you have this year” “b” “damn i’m in c”

[metradell-vyorei-deactivated202]

Are you telling me your school didn’t just have lunch for everyone at a specific time and instead you were broken into sections

[elaborate-obstacle-golf]

there are security guards?

[sarahluz]

my high school had like 1900 people and three lunch periods - and definitely security guards - but god help me I was always that annoying bitch asking you to spot me a quarter to buy some damn ho-hos
