this is my dog. he is supposed to be dressed as the big bad wolf in Red Riding Hood after he has nommed the grandmother and donned her clothes

but look at him. he is not a bad wolf. he just looks like a granny. 

he just wants to hear how you’re doing far away at school and are you eating enough can he make you soup do you have a good coat it’s starting to get chilly out.

Josh Thomas talks about male suicide

I wonder how feminists will react to this

Probably ignore it then go back to making male tears mugs and gifs 

[spiderkiss]

Actually this is a very common idea among feminists

It’s something feminists have been talking about for years it’s called toxic masculinity and it’s one of the common threads among the topic of ‘Patriarchy hurts men too’. If fact the first time I read about toxic masculinity was on a feminist blog.

If you actually read things feminists talk about instead of straw manning them you might know this but OH WELL

"I wonder how feminists will react to this" Would you shut the fuck up this is EXACTLY why we need feminism

[petitedeath]

Very simply - Patriarchy tells men/boys they have to be strong and tough and arent allowed to show emotion or talk about things » boys/men are fucked up emotionally » they kill themselves thats a feminist issue, its a feminist issue often covered. It aint my fault you cant see your problems stem from patriarchy.

Earlier this week, I wrote about the crushing economic depression now afflicting the African American community. Those who buy into the culture of poverty mythology would no doubt explain that reality away as a manifestation of blacks’ supposedly flawed work ethic. When jobs are hard to come by, only the most persistent people – those willing to acquire new skills or knock on door after door and face rejection after rejection – are going to wind up being employed. So let’s look again at the evidence. AARP did a study of working people over 45 years of age ( PDF), and found that “African Americans surveyed were more likely than the general population to be proactive about jobs and career training.” “[African Americans] took steps such as training to keep skills up-to-date (30% versus 25%), attending a job fair (18% versus 7%), and looked for a new job (24% versus 17%) in the past year at rates higher than the general sample. A sizeable share also indicated that they plan to engage in these behaviors. More African Americans relative to the general population plan to take training (38% versus 33%), look for a new job (27% versus 24%), attend a job fair (26% versus 11%), use the internet for job-related activities (30% versus 23%), and start their own business (13% versus 7%).” The unemployment rate for African Americans between 45-64 years of age stands at 10.8 percent; the rate for whites of the same age is just 6.4 percent. Older black workers have the drive, and report putting in more effort to land jobs or start businesses than their white counterparts – they embrace a “culture of success” — yet their unemployment rate remains 40 percent higher. That’s because the “culture” provides a very poor explanation for economic outcomes – especially compared with real-world, social and economic factors like the fact that predominantly black schools get 18 percent less funding per student than white schools, black families have just one-twentieth of the accumulated wealth to pay for college or start a new business than whites making the same income and the impact of a large chunk of the black population getting caught up in a racist drug war and carrying a prison record as a result. And, yes, it’s still also in part a result of good, old-fashioned racial discrimination.

FACT: people who think theyre better than others because they dont use slang, speak colloquially and pay needless attention to spelling and grammar CANT FIGHT. They have no hands whatsoever so you can beat the shit out them and they still be like “you have no brain cells” when they on the ground wondering why they feel their eyeball in their left cheek
