There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t laugh at this f ucking picture

Honestly I totally get the appeal of a lifelong romantic relationship. But like, I’d rather get that by having a relationship that’s so consistently good we never decide to end it, than by having one that’s so good at one time that we decide, in that moment, to never end it.

Does that make sense? One’s saying “yes” to something every day, the other’s saying “yes, every day” to something.

Making it hard to leave takes away a lot of uncertainty. But what if making it hard to leave devalues the staying?

I want anyone I date to know with total certainty that if they wanted to leave tomorrow, they could do it and it wouldn’t be the end of the world, it wouldn’t unleash demons. I don’t want anyone to feel chained to me.

It’s being not-chained that makes staying mean something. I want to make it easy to leave so I know we’re in this because we’re choosing to be, actively. And more than an eternal relationship? I want one where we’re in it 100%.

If we’re both/all completely on board because we keep choosing to be… that’s the kind of relationship I’d be happy to keep doing forever, if it keeps working that long. And if it doesn’t? The goal was to make it a good one, not a permanent one.

England, you stole tea from China. You’ve had it a mere 4 centuries compared to their 30+. Don’t play like you’re some kind of authority.

I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”

This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.

This is why I laugh my ass of whenever dudes talk about how men are “objectified” by the media too. Because 9 times out of 10, what men think is “women objectifying men” are characters like Gaston.

And Gaston is NOT a woman-driven fantasy. Gaston is a male wish fulfillment fantasy. Gaston is not what women want, he is what men want to be. He is hyper-masculinity to an extreme degree, dripping with sexism and testosterone. The fact that men think that Gaston is what women want says an awful lot about those men.

While I don’t want to generalize, female fans tend to prefer a very different kind of male hero. We like the Rogers, the Milos, the Hercules. Genuinely kind, often awkward men who are sometimes vulnerable and respectful to women.

Yes, this is a generalization. I own up to that. But I think it’s important to remember that there is often VERY big difference between what MEN want to be and what women WANT in our media.

Reblogging this again because fucking this. And hell, even the muscley dudes (see: Khal Drogo, Hercules, Thor, Captain America) are loved, not because they are muscley, but because they are sweet and loving and adorable. We love Thor because his mispronounces “Hubble” as “Hooble,” not because of what he can do with a hammer.

Don’t you EVER do this to a person’s hair. That is a VIOLATION of a person’s body! If you think “she deserved it” then you deserve to be punished for harassment because doing anything to a person’s body without their permission is harassment. And since hair is a part of a person;s body, you have no right to touch, play with, cut, or mess up a person;s hair witout explicit permission.

Just ASK the girl to move her hair off your desk or to have the desk moved away a little.

“BUT IT’LL GROW BACK” Not always! My mother had long gorgeous hair and her grandmother cut it all off and it NEVER grew back the same length again! She was DEVASTATED.

This girl is probably FURIOUS and she has every right to be!

Next time someone thinks it’s “funny” to cut a person’s hair without their permission, I hope they get punched in the face.

“Funny” but True story: Cutting off a chunk of someone’s hair without their consent is actually, legally considered assault and battery with a deadly weapon. A girl in my sister’s class did this exact thing to her once, and she reported it to the police. The girl was legit charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon. Yep. Hair is considered, legally, to be part of someone’s body, hence the law.

Here is the Law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_occasioning_actual_bodily_harm#Cutting_hair

Also, the mentality of someone who sees no problem literally just reaching out and doing this to someone is sociopathic. Like, I would NEVER even think to reach out and cut off a piece of someone’s clothing even, much less their hair.

But yeah. For future reference: If anyone does this to you in class. You can report it to your local police station.

Someone pretended to do this to me in high school. They had fake hair in their hand and snipped the scissors close to my head and laughed hysterically. They held the hair in front of my face and taunted me while everyone laughed too. Instead of lashing out and hitting them (like high school me always did) or taking the hair, I burst into tears. I just started crying hysterically.

Why? Because someone thought it would be funny to cut my hair without my permission. Because I had spent YEARS growing my hair out after a terrible haircut (that I brought on myself). And because no one thought it was wrong that they did this.

The teacher came over at the sight of me crying and made everyone stop laughing. She asked me what was wrong and I pushed the fake hair toward her (still not knowing it was fake), put my head in my hands and kept crying. I expected her to tell me to just take the joke and it’s nothing to cry about. Instead she held the hair up and asked, “Who did this?” there were a few snickers, “This is not funny, who did this?” I hadn’t seen who did it because they were behind me so I couldn’t tell her either.

Finally someone pointed at a kid and he said, “It was a joke! The hair is fake!” the teacher walked over to him and told him to gather his stuff. He said something like, “She’s being a baby it was a joke!” to which my teacher replied, “You pretended to cut off her hair without her consent, that is not a joke.” she sent him to the office and he wasn’t allowed back in her class for a week.

Also worth noting that some religions (the one that immediately comes to mind is Sikhism, though it’s not the only one) consider hair sacred or blessed, and forbid cutting or removing it! Not only is cutting someone’s hair without their consent assault, but it could also be violating their religious beliefs/practices!
