cancerousowl:
Believe it or not, fifteen year olds can be influenced and manipulated to the point where they ARE victims. It’s just how we are when we’re young. We can see this nice guy and truly like him, but we aren’t experienced enough to know he’s too old and is manipulating us.
When we say “too old,” it isn’t necessarily in the physical sense. I’m talking about mentally. What kind of adult...

Bisexuality and Dating →

cloudofgorgeousness:
Something that occurred to me recently: I am never in a straight relationship, and I am never in a gay relationship, although my partners may be. I am always in a bisexual relationship, regardless of the gender of the person I’m dating.
Yes! Yes! Yes! One of the many reasons that the accusations sometimes leveled at bisexual people in different gender...

– This, for instance, which I also included in my statements about “jizz in the face” was left out from the piece at The Atlantic.
I won’t bore all of you with the string of statements I made but I wish this one had been included. Because yeah, this is where I stand on the topic.

Make me a vegan diet plan for 2 weeks. And if I like it, I’ll actually try it.
But it’s not so simple. See, I’m poor. And by poor, I mean, your meal plan can’t cost me more than $30 for 2 weeks (and I mean not a cent more).
And I live in the northeast by...

missworded:
Women are unequal in our society. They are underpaid, underrepresented in government and business, and often considered little more than walking egg sacs.
So the “make me a sandwich” line does nothing but emphasize a status quo that’s been around for thousands of years. It’s not new. It’s not interesting. It’s the same old fucking thing.
It’s not a joke — it’s life.
It’s...

A New Meaning To "Targeted Advertising"
thosepeskydames:
Whenever I go shopping the checkout reliably spits out coupons and vouchers for sanitary products, hoisery and cat food. My supermarket knows I get my period, frequently ladder my tights and that I own two cats.
How? Because I have a Nectar Card to collect ‘points’ which I can redeem to save me money on my purchases and this enables them to keep a list of all the items I...

It’s just hit me that I’m going to be 6 hours away from my family next year. 6 hours and £80 worth of tickets. I’m not sure how I’m going to do this. I mean, it’s not like I go back loads but I do at least once a term and then for the whole holidays. I’m going to find this tougher than I thought, I reckon. Urgh. I kinda wish we weren’t moving. I mean yes,...

I was just browsing foodgawker (looking at recipes is my procrastination favourite at the moment. Recipes are the best. Even though I don’t tend to follow them at all =p) and SO MANY of the recipes say “guilt free” “low calorie” and all these other things basically saying you can eat it, this recipe’s actually allowed. Urgh I’m just tired of the...

Launched by the group SurvivorsUK, the ads will run during the Six Nations rugby tournament as a way to convey that anyone can be a victim of rape. According to the...

The Gaytriarchy Attacks!
friendlyangryfeminist:
Yeah, I’m always going to feel uneasy that the queer folks who profit the most (goal-wise and financially) off LGBT+ politics are white, affluent cis men when most victims of anti-LBGT+ violence are transgender, low-income women of color.
And now kids, we’re going to have a test on what intersectionality actually means!
