I’m tired of folks who probably had kids by accident telling us that we’re selfish and will change our minds. Leave me alone!

[super-shar]

How the fuck is it selfish to want get yourself established while youre young before bringing a financially liable human into this world?

[westafricanbaby]

Lmaooooo NOBODY on the surface of this earth can ever shame or guilt trip me into wanting kids in my early or mid twenties. I’m not having kids till im ready. If that’s selfish, then I’m proudly the most selfish person in the world🤣🤣

is it time for frank cho and milo manara to die or what

[kiefbowl]

That’s basically a naked woman I’m YELLING

[houroftheantichristwolf]

What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?

[auntiewanda]

It’s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into “sexy” poses. Or how women in comics walk like they’re in high heels even barefoot. 

It’s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think of “women” as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroes’ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

I’m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?

[auntiewanda]

And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You can’t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

Come on, let’s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.

[auntiewanda]

We’re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention you’re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional characters’ clothing is asinine. 

What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.

This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks: 

Also: 

[feminism-is-radical-deactivated]

He got the painting for fighting against ‘censorship.’ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They don’t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.

[dyketales-deactivated20180601]

You can see her butthole for chrissakes

[pmastamonkmonk]

I think the best imagery I’ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.

Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.

Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine.  He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.

Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.

Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE.

[aglassroseneverfades]

This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.

oh we can get even more specific than just a list of billionaires:

here are all of the scum who control oil, coal, and natural gas

here are the ones who run the factories

and here are the ones who extract the raw resources that the others need to make it all work

honestly a good partner isn’t necessarily someone who loves the exact same things you love but rather someone who is willing to listen to you ramble on and on about a particular subject that you’re passionate about even if they have little to no interest in it

[blackholeassshole]

this is so important

[cloudcuckoolander527]

All I can think of is this…

And on the flip-side

[i-tried-1nce]

Ok I don’t normally make posts like this but this is something I really think needs more attention. 

 It’s Emara! 

 She’s a kickass, female, Muslim, crimefighting superhero 

 She stays fully covered and has an adorable crimefighting partner (and maybe love interest) who is disabled! 

 The representation is amazing and the animation is beautiful

 If you like miraculous ladybug this is for sure up your ally

 Or if you just like wicked female protagonists!!

 Here is episode 1: https://youtu.be/3ytnzJjEyAM 

 Enjoy!

[luxwing]

PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW GET MORE PEOPLE INTO IT SO HOPEFULLY THEY CAN MAKE MORE EPISODES I REALLY LOVE IT A LOT AND THE ANIMATION IS INCREDIBLE

[lightsintheskye]

Reminder to PLEASE PLEASE watch this. This is created by my talented, amazing and very close friend of mine, and of course the incredibly hard working studio behind it deserves the same amount of recognition as well.

All episodes are up on youtube ( in English and Arabic!!) and are worth every single minute. It’s such a charming and colorful series with an awesome cast.

Please go give Emara some well deserved love<33

I keep meaning to draw fanart for this im so sorry Fatma I love you

[dicapito]

And this hasn’t been made into a movie or mini series?

[random-person-number-52]

The cool thing is, there’s still one person missing: Lyudmila Pavlichenko.

She was one of the deadliest snipers of World War II, and is regarded as one of the deadliest snipers of all time. Over the course of one year (June 1941-June 1942) she racked up a count of 309 kills, 36 of which were enemy snipers. Her prescence in the picture alone would have brought the total number of kills from 755 to 1064.

Goddamn.

[strengthins0lidarity]

Icons.

Every one of them.

[tamizhnadu]

i know ive talked about this before but we literally have no reason not to bring the original gay flag made in the 70s by gilbert baker back to regular use!

the pink stripe was simply taken away because pink fabric was too expensive to mass reproduce at the time, and the turquoise stripe was taken away for a really odd reason: for the harvey milk remembrance parade in 1979, they wanted three stripes on each side of the street and didn’t want it to be asymmetrical, so they did away with the turquoise stripe. like, they could have fixed it in some other way without removing a whole stripe, but eh whatever history’s history.

the pink originally symbolized sex and the turquoise was for magic/art and it would just be really cool if we could bring both the stripes back into regular use again since there wasn’t any significance behind the removal of the stripes and we’re perfectly capable of mass producing flags with all the stripes again!

[danielnelsen]

if anyone is interested, in 2017, shortly before he died, gilbert baker added a 9th stripe in lavender to represent diversity, partly in response to trump’s election. while i dont expect it to gain any kind of widespread usage, it is an interesting fact!

when you find an academic source that’s perfect for your paper but it’s behind a pay wall

[deadmomjokes]

Deciding to cite it anyway base on the abstract, knowing your professor probably won’t go through and look up every source in works cited

[rootbeermolecule]

if you guys want to read academic papers but they’re behind a paywall, get the chrome extension Unpaywall. when you visit a site that requires you pay for their journal to view the article, the extension will look for other open access sites that will show you the article for free, and it’s all completely legal. all that money goes to the publisher, the writer of the paper gets none of it. https://unpaywall.org

i’m watching a british youtuber’s birthday stream and an aussie viewer sent in a comment saying “why was he born so beautiful, why was he born at all? because he had no say in it, no say in it at all” which was received with confused existential horror, and this is how i just discovered that australian happy birthday songs are not universal

[argumate]

oops

[languageoclock]

do you not sing this in other countries?!?!??

[stele3]

NO we do not sing a lament for someone’s personal beauty wishing they’d never been born. That is some weird Greek tragedy shit.
