Please stop calling this a nation of immigrants. We are not a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of colonizers, ex-slaves, ghosts of genocide victims, and preferred immigrants.

This happens all the time. Every car horn, every whistle, every cat call and lewd exclamation, strengthens the lesson I’ve been taught over and over and over again throughout my entire life: as a lady, my body is on public display and open for judgment—from anyone.
Most men who will see this are decent, rational guys who will sympathize with my feelings. A small, vocal handful of dudes will send me private messages about how women like me can’t “take a fucking compliment.” This is not for either of you. This is for the guys who don’t know yet that attracting unwanted attention doesn’t make women feel good, no matter how nice their intentions are. I can’t speak for everyone, but I can say that I personally get embarrassed, often scared, and always—ALWAYS—ashamed, in some way, in how I look.
So… now that you know, cut it out. Tell all the girls how nice they are and how amazing they are at their jobs instead.
yeah seriously
this sort of thing happens to me all the time as i walk around town and it just completely bums my day.

Who's The Baddest of Them All?: amazonpoodle: what’s the one culturally-saturated narrative trope that...
what’s the one culturally-saturated narrative trope that you kind of really incredibly hate and how would you subvert it and make it new and delightfulAnna said she hates the girl vs. girl fighting-over-a-boy trope, and I definitely agree, but I want to pick just a piece of that, specifically the idea that the narrative arc isn’t over until the girl who is mean / ambitious / manipulative / pushy / confident / promiscuous / independent is suitably punished for her sins. I love vicious girls, and I think we ought to celebrate them more. Tell a thousand stories about girls who murder for power, girls who kick hard-working deserving men out of the way for their own gain, girls who refuse to be cowed or beaten, girls who like their hands best when they’re bloody — or, conversely, girls who are super into delegating the dirty work to their devotees.
Sirens who lure ships onto the rocks. Medusa who turns men into stone. Female tricksters, female destroyers, ladies who want to sweep nice’s knees out from under it and kick it til it’s spitting blood. Yes. Yes. Women who like sex and have as much of it as they please. Women who don’t like sex and are never made to have it when they don’t fucking feel like it. Women who enact excellent vengeance and feel fantastic about it after. Women who are cruel for the greater good. Women who steal other people’s lovers. Women who want what they cannot or should not have and find a way to take it anyway. Women who go forth in honest battle and win. Women who stab their enemies in the back or use poison. Women who steal things.
Self-serving women. Straight women, queer women, asexual and/or aromantic women. (Tell me about all the women who don’t need or want to fall in love. Also tell me about the women who do, but don’t let that stop them from making planets explode.) Cis women, trans women, people who are women sometimes but then sometimes not, people who don’t know what they are. Women in heels, women in combat boots, women in ballet slippers, barefoot women. WOMEN OF COLOR. Women with tattoos and piercings and scars. Fat women. Thin women.
ALL THE WOMEN YOU HATE. :D
Omg. Yes.

Some girl posted [on the original version of the song] that this song reminded her of her mother who had passed. I can’t even fathom the idea of that happening to someone… and coming out standing strong… That’s magical. Music, of any genre, is amazing. Especially when it can give peope—anyone—a sense of calm, resolution, peace of mind and/or purpose. Great songs are the ones that touch our souls with a single breath :)

Re-interpreting Feminism
Objetification is a two way street. I got into an argument with my modern thinking male friend about the ramifications of objectifying someone (with or without their consent and/or knowledge) and, while, he jokingly will point out that “women do it too”, I really think the question we should be asking ourselves is “WHY?”. Why is there even a need for it? Why would anyone ever think its an appropiate thing to do and why don’t we recognize it in time to stop the cycle?
And then, we got into a more intricate argument about the term “feminism”, where I pointed out that in English, as well as in Spanish (which are the two languages I have always been around of, thus feel comfortably using as examples), a lot of the language centers on attributing the masculine tense to a lot of positive things, so, in a way, (imo) that is society’s way of giving something back to the us. Like a badge to wear that says: “I believe in equality, in all words of the language I choose to associate myself with, and to prove it, I will use this word as a symbol of that fight”. To which he argued that we should just find a gender-neutral word that is all inclusive but still carries the message in a clear manner.
Alas, arguing (passively, of course) is a beautiful thing, and having people in your life that have different opinions might just help you see things in a way you night’ve never seen otherwise :)

one out of 4 men will get mad at you if you say you’re a Feminist, call you a prude bitch and stupid, say it’s useless to society. If you then try to prove them wrong with logical facts, experience, and how you developed your own opinion on why you are a feminist, then they will feel like you are attacking them.

Yesterday I learned that a friend of mine has started dating a guy with blonde hair. Which really doesn’t make any sense to me, because her last boyfriend had brown hair. When I asked her why she doesn’t find any brunette guys attractive anymore, she told me she thinks either…
