Anonymous asked: From what i understand alot of your real life friends are male, right? Do they all share your feminist views and do you talk to them like they're the lowest most worthless scum on the planet every time they don't?
thoughtsandnotmuchelse asked: First off I would like to apologize if I caused you any offense with my post, it was not supposed to be a sarcastic stab but a legitimate question. I want to know why there are such negative titles associated with these behaviors. Why should a person (male or female) be deemed a bad bitch if they want to be sloppy drunk and have casual sex? One person suggested that it was to break away from the...

A Question For Women
thoughtsandnotmuchelse:
I preface this by saying that I have only observed this of a small part of the female population. I understand and acknowledge that the following statements are not true of the vast majority of women.
I don’t even pretend to understand women, and for the time being, I’m okay with that. After spending the weekend on a college campus I was exposed to a side of pop culture...

Why do you do the stupid, degrading shit you do? Or more specifically, why do you do it publicly?
I do stupid, damaging shit to myself. I make myself look bad. REGULARLY. But what part of your brain, or what aspect of the social dynamic makes you feel like the internet (and/or its famously well-intentioned populace) is going to validate you or fill whatever void of love,...

brainbytumblr:
You know, I really wish the women (and IDK, maybe some exceptionally emasculated / brainless men do this, too) who do this would stop with their ignorant “Oh, I have a uterus, so I’m the only human being qualified to make decisions about sexual things, babies, and so on”. Sex is a cooperative act. It takes two people - two equally invested, equally important people - to pull it...

Oh Mind-over-matter, you were doing were so well.
Like really, I respect you so much for your blog - that works so hard to fight the stigma behind mental health.
And then you post bullshit like this: http://thatfeministwithglasses.tumblr.com/post/17831216597/patients-who-use-anti-depressants-can-be-more-likely-to

Anti-depressants start so many new psychological problems as well. They...
andlightswillguideyouhome asked: That is the exact opposite of what I was trying to say.. I appreciate that you still blog when you have much to worry about already. That is all I meant. Being a nurse, having an ill parent, and struggling with depression are probably extremely stressful but you still blog and talk about issues that need to be talked about..I was not saying you should put your life or health aside to educate me.
andlightswillguideyouhome replied to your post: GK, I really do appreciate reading what you have to say. A lot of what I learn about feminism I learn from this blog. I first learned about being privileged here, because I’m straight, white, and cis-gendered. I first learned about ableism here, and all sorts of other things… I think it’s a great thing that you talk about these issues. It’s...

Actually I’m not.
The social justice side of Tumblr is beyond a fucking joke and for the love of everything that is holy don’t get me started on the majority of feminists this website unfortunately allows a platform to.
I probably will blog about politics, social justice and feminism from time to time. But at the moment I’m going to focus on mental health and possibly being...

mindovermatterzine:
“… anti-depressants interfere with the brain’s natural self-regulation of serotonin and other neurotransmitters, and the brain can overcorrect once medication is suspended, triggering new depression.”
Well, that’s a thought that’s going to fester.

Oh Lush, I am dissapoint
Today, I decided that I was going to treat my self to some Lush shower jelly; the sweetie pie one to be exact. I had been eyeing it up for a while (it smells and feels gorgeous) and today I decided to take the plunge. Instead of luxurious shower products, I found latent homophobia in the form of a description: “Fruitier than Dale Winton…”
I was shocked. Lush, “the ethical...

Anonymous asked: Hi there. Do you think many males dissmis feminism because they feel feminist do not stand for equal rights but for more rights for women and less for men? Also, do you think feminist do sent this message, or are men 'te defensive'? Thank you.

I know I should do an in depth post about this, but I’d only have some shitty middle class feminist tell me about how wrong I am, and how nurses are just “slaves” (like seriously can we not use that word?) to the male doctors, by some shitty feminist who studied woman studies, but has never stepped into a hospital since they born into their lovely middle class lives. Because...
