It's a fiction, not a moral treatise.

I'm a 28 year-old Instructor of Argument. It is my job to teach incoming college students that talking smack professionally is about having an opinion and backing it up. I teach young adults not only to have opinions, but to have a VOICE in their community and in the world at large. I inspire, I discourse, and I geek out.

I know I have a few people that follow me because of my political discussions, but you should know I also blog and reblog things for fun. I'm into fandom; it's part of my life. Don't be surprised if you see stuff about Disney, or kittens, or even my own artwork. Sometimes, I need to not be so serious.

Please don’t call yourself a feminist if you approve of BDSM.

provocatoria:

ihaveabsolutelynoidea:

cynically-colorblind:

It’s one of the most misogynist things out there.

dictating how a woman chooses to express herself sexually is misogynistic

it’s also misogynistic to assume that all women undertake a sub position 

it’s also heterosexist to assume that all bdsm is heterosexual

And so does citizenship, if that’s true. So any uterus-bearer that hops the border and gets knocked up on American soil automatically has an American citizen in their body. These people might even have one in their bodies even before that, if they go to Arizona!

A screen shot from the incredible feministing community article Open Letter to Representative Trent Franks: What Caring About Women and Babies Really Looks Like by Bria Murray, which you can read right here on feministing. 

This is something that needs more sharing, most definitely.

KNOW WHAT MAKES EVEN MORE MISOGYNISTS, OVERLY SENSITIVE GIRLS COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE THING A GUY SAYS THAT DISPLEASES THEM.

kuntakong:

C’mon learn context, humor, and what real misogyny is. Just because you dont find something offensive doesnt mean its time for you to raise the war flag and complain about inequality. That is just as bad as trying to ban books, movies, music, etc just because it doesnt fit to ur small opinion of what u find acceptable. just like some kind of religious or political zealot.
 
plus on top of it Ur just victimization yourself and Reenforcing these “stereotypes” against you. If someone is actually trying to belittle you because of ur gender. brush it off ur shoulder, because u getting all huffy about it is exactly what they want, think dont act…

OH! And ladies really look at yourself and ur behavior.

 

Bet you’ll take that out of context too.

Telling people who are victimized by privileged persons — whether through action, media, off-color jokes, imagery — to simply “brush it off” is a weak attempt to disregard their feelings of victimization and marginalization.

Good job telling victims of misogyny that it’s up to them to react in an acceptable manner rather than telling misogynists that their behavior is what needs to change.
