This Is What Masculinity Really Means To Men

"Dominance." "Power." "Strong." "Alpha." "Control." These are just a few of the words traditionally associated with masculinity. We often hear men being described as "manly" or "...

This goes along perfectly with reading the book Dude, You're a Fag. While we're looking at masculinity in high schools, real men are talking about what it means to be masculine.

Let’s hope this will be the year when we stop using language that invalidates transgender and nonbinary people. Our gender is as valid as everyone else’s.

I think we also need some transgender education in schools because I want to support but I don’t know how because I get confused at certain things like gender fluid and “today I’m a man and a woman” kinda things. :(

New Rules in Response to UVA Rape Claim

Following the release of the article, "A Rape on Campus", from the Rolling Stone, universities around the country were forced to take a look at their own policies regarding sexual assault on campus. The article immediately climbed to the top of social media sites and has gained national attention. Since the release of the article, the President of the University of Virginia, Teresa Sullivan has come under fire for everything she does. She banned all Greek life from campus and faced an uproar from students past and present. Greek life has now been reinstated, but with strict guidelines, and again, no one is happy. In our discussion Friday, we briefly talked about what should be expected of a female president. Has Sullivan done her job as the president of UVA? Were her actions unfair because they affected students that had nothing to do with this rape?

"The Asexuality Spectrum: Like any other sexuality, asexuality consists of a spectrum of attraction and preferences as well. This is my personal take on it, others may have slightly different interpretations, but this is the gist of it. At the farthest, most "asexual" part of the spectrum, we find people who never, ever experience sexual or even physical attraction to another person. Sometimes they will have a general dislike of touching in general, let it be holding hands of hugging. Truthfully, there are sexual people who dislike physical contact in general as well, so in my opinion, general physical attraction doesn't seem like the best way to define the spectrum, but that is my personal understanding of it.  Further away from this extreme end of the spectrum are asexuals who are gradually more comfortable with physical touching and expressions of affection: cuddling, hugging, holding hands, even kissing, but are still asexual and do not feel an urge to have sex with anyone, ever, really. They might think about it, but dismiss the idea quickly in their mind should something more appealing come up, such as eating cake or competing in a triathlon. As we move further down the spectrum towards the sexual end, we come across our "grey asexual" section. These are people who do experience sexual attraction: fleetingly, rarely, or sometimes just for one specific person at a time. Some people who identify as grey a may experience sexual attraction more frequently than would be considered asexual, but do not feel that sex is an important part or driving force of their life and so choose to identify as asexual. Demisexuality, bridging the hazy divide between asexual and sexual, is when a person can become sexually attracted to someone only after developing a strong emotional bond with them, romantically or not. Demis are rarely attracted to anyone sexually that they do not know and love. As with any sexuality, a person's asexual identity or position on the spectrum (if any) is self determined by that person and how they themselves feel they fit in."

No homo

[jofirth-deactivated20141029]

People always say, “No homo,” But I’m like, “Yes.” “Yes homo.”

Gays and lesbians should start saying "no hetero" before touching their boyfriend/girlfriend

[figydaflygon-deactivated2016021]

maybe if we just divorced to connotation of “homo” for a second we would realize that when we say “we’re all homo sapiens” we’re really just saying we’re all the same since homo means “same”

we’re all human

From 'No Homo' to 'Yeah, Bro': How Gen-Y Became So Cool With 'the Whole Gay Thing'

You know you know gay people. You realize by now that they're all around. You've been on baseball teams and in locker rooms and rushed frats together. We, as the impossible to define bunch known as Gen-Y, have become increasingly cool with our gay brothers and friends.
