Deer are just suicidal dicks.

Guys who complain about the friendzone often don’t care about their female friends’ personal boundaries, forcing their female friends build more walls up. A good cartoon.

“Hurr bdurr men r still at fault becoz axe” Is there a sequel where he gives up, leaves her to die alone behind that wall, finds someone with enough emotional maturity to not need to hide behind one, and has a happy life with someone better?

The Rules Of Feminism

Help raise each other up, not tear each other down.

rapeculturerealities

Feminists have worked for decades to properly identify and name trauma. We call those who have been raped or abused “survivors.” We say that a person is in “recovery” for an eating disorder. Though they are imperfect, we have resources for victims should they choose to prosecute a perpetrator, go to a shelter or report harassment.

But there is still the unexamined cumulative impact of living with sexism. Walking on the street, tweeting, working — just living — while female shapes who we are and who we think we can be.

When a high school teacher asked me on a date just a few days after I graduated, I wasn’t traumatized. The day that an ex-boyfriend taped a used condom to my dorm-room door, scrawling “whore” across the dry-erase board, didn’t forever damage me. When I receive a rape threat via email, my life’s trajectory does not shift. But it would be silly to believe that who I am today isn’t in part created by the distinct combination of those moments.

I grew up in Queens, taking the subway to junior high and high school. My commute became a time when it wasn’t unusual for a man to grope or flash me. It happened on at least a dozen occasions. I still find myself anxious on the subway. This is not an unreasonable response.

Researchers interested in objectification theory — the idea that the way women are looked at and dehumanized affects their mental health and their sense of self — have found that women often change and constrain their behavior because of past experiences with sexism. A study published in 2015 found a link between the misogyny women face and psychological distress.

STRAIGHT PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING WEIRD

This is exactly what I was talking about the other day. It’s not even just the bizarre urge to sexualize children, it’s that they’re sexualized with the explicit purpose of then policing their hypothetical sexuality. Little girls have sexuality forced on them for the sole purpose of teaching them that sexuality is meant to be shameful.
