Why Black History Month
edwardspoonhands:
So I posted this SciShow video earlier today and, well, I was surprised by some of the comments. Many viewers were of the opinion that recognizing scientists of a particular race was unnecessary and even wrong.
Basically, indicating that celebrating Black History Month is somehow racist.
Let’s get something clear here…race is a thing. We can walk around all day and say “I...

Welcome to: If Male Superhero Costumes were Designed Like Female Superhero Costumes!
Aaaaa I dunno. I got tired of guys having no idea why girls find female superhero’s costumes kinda sexist, so I, um, made this?
My main goals were: 1) Make it so the first thing...

THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT
ADELE FLIPS AN AUDIENCE OFF AT AN AWARD SHOW (she meant for the middle finger to be aimed at the producers who were cutting her speech short) AND NO ONE FREAKS THE FUCK OUT?????
DEAR FUCKIN’ GAWD.
AND THEN THE BITCH ASS REPORTER SAYS “PEOPLE LOVE ADELE BECAUSE SHE’S RAW AND UNFILTERED”
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
WHITE WOMAN FLIPS PEOPLE...

feministdisney:
first of all, it’s funny because it’s about Ryking the know-nothing, but then it’s actually a really good thing to read besides that because it’s an excellent response to the “what about the men” thing that comes up a lot.
These are real people, real men and boys, who have gone through real pain, and you’re just bringing them up,...
I saw a post by Ryking just now

And I’m not gonna reblog it because fuck that shitstain I don’t feel like talking directly to him, I’d make more headway talking to my toothbrush
But the post was a question asking “if Chris Brown had beaten up a man three years ago, would anyone still care?” tagged with, among other things, “misandry” and “hypocrisy”
And wow so I have a lot of (sad, angry) feelings about that...
It really is horrifying

that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable.
White Woman Tears (TM) are a powerful thing.
And Janet Jackson hasn’t been invited back to the Grammys...
Anon: "My abortion didn't hurt me, people did."
stfuconservatives:
I want to share my story because its often a perspective that gets ignored in this conversation. While I understand and support the idea that abortion does not cause emotional turmoil, I also experienced a lot of emotional turmoil surrounding my abortion. But there’s definitely some clarification that needs to be made about that.
For one, sadness =/= regret. I have never, not...

TW: bottom pictures have a lot of victim blaming, rape threats, statements about pedophilia being okay, etc. DO NOT scroll unless you’re ready for it.

Similar to the mohandasgandhi post (which I fully support) but just a bit more broad, letting absolutely everyone jump on board.
So I noticed Raven’s posts about this issue (this dude above is someone...
I married a Nice Man, not a "Nice Guy."

missworded:
Nice Man - makes dinner because he’s an adult and the adults in the household do chores because food is necessary for not dying.
“Nice Guy” - makes dinner because he wants you to fuck him.
Nice Man - puts you in bed after you’ve had too much to drink because people who care about one another behave in compassionate ways. Plus maybe the next day he can make...
“why do gay people have to be everywhere nowadays” said the heterosexual blogger as he sat down in the house owned by his heterosexual parents after a busy day at his primarily heterosexual school learning heterosexual-focused sex education and a syllabus approved by a government mainly made up of heterosexual politicians which enforced policies that generally benefited heterosexuals over people...

"Women are not objects!"

canadiansheepdoggie:
I get it now put your shirt back on!
For a group that doesn’t want to be treated like sexual objects feminists do a lot of objectifying things! I mean how many feminist blogs have an image of the words ‘treat me like a princess and fuck me like a whore’ in it’s feed? It’s stupid to be preaching about how you feel objectified while wearing a low cut top...

Things you should quit saying:

How to Run a Business That Doesn't Suck: The Hank...
fishingboatproceeds:
So Hank and I run or help run several businesses at the moment: Vidcon, DFTBA Records, the juggernaut that is 2-D Glasses, ecogeek, vlogbrothers, scishow, and crashcourse, as well as administering the nonprofit Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck. These are not huge businesses or anything (and in some cases are not even profitable), but many of them have employees and revenue...
