I’m pretty sure you officially lost your feminism card just now.

Seriously? Revenge porn? Well that’s just fantastic.
Oh please. Trans people are dying, I’m afraid of being kicked out of my apartment if I acknowledge my sexuality to my landlord, but you feel bad so the world should stop? Have you looked around?
I have no problem with people calling themselves part of the queer community if they’re willing to actually speak up about issues impacting the entire queer community, not just themselves. I don’t care that much who people fuck, but I do care whether they duck out of discussions of queer rights, don’t stand up for…
I think she’s fucking right. P.S. Why do all these fantasy and sci-fi films need to be so hella white, though? They are literally casting people in made-up realms. They can rewrite the law of gravity, but they can’t cast a fucking black Iron Man?
We won! We won!
Okay, but-honestly? I know tons of “bisexual” girls who talk big game about being into other girls, but somehow they all wind up dating men. I’m not trying to dismiss their identities or anything, and I get that bisexual women get hella shit from both sides of the line...but c’mon. Women are permitted to be bisexual…
Fair. Rarely, I think—at least, directors don’t make any effort that I know of to cast gay actors, not very often. That was one of the major criticisms of ‘Blue is the Warmest Color.’ I think it depends, though—projects initiated by queer people, like The Lword, tend to cast more queer people because they’re more…
WORD. Everyone deserves kindness and respect, not just nice people.
I wish we would stop idealizing certain groups of people though. I feel the same way about people saying all POC are somehow more accepting or kinder than white people. Like, sure, suffering oppression often opens people’s hearts..but that kind of logic ends up justifying oppression by suggesting it has good results.
well and now this douchebag feels the need to make some misinformed statement about Lefou to protect his own fragile masculinity. Plus if there were more gay characters, gay actors could play ‘em.
Could we please stop rewarding “allies” for their contributions or whatever? This is why people get in it only for the ally cookies. Besides, how much of a contribution is writing a song about kissing a girl once? There are queer artists writing about BEING QUEER.
I know. Haven’t these people seen “But I’m a Cheerleader?”
Sex Addiction or whatever the kids are calling it these days is NOT a thing. You cannot be addicted to raping someone or molesting young girls!
I really, really adore how, after all the gains feminism has provided, films marketed specifically towards young girls and women constantly take us back to historical periods in which women did not have any of the rights we have fought so hard for. Then, those times are billed to us as nostalgia-filled, glorious and…
Plus don’t you hate how the marketers play on this culture’s assumptions that period aches and pains are somehow an inherent part of being female? If we didn’t live in a hyperactive culture that demanded we work regardless of how we feel, even if doing so isn’t really in our best physical interest, we wouldn’t hurt as…
Do people not realize that children are being exposed every day to sexual assault, physical abuse, even murder? But yeah, sure. Protect ‘em from hearing the word ‘fuck.’
eeew...........
This is some pretty scary shit, if you think about it. These people control the U.S. nuclear arsenal etc. Panicked people can do some pretty awful things and feel justified.
Man, people refuse to acknowledge shit is racist unless the person saying/doing it straight up says “by the way, I am a racist asshole who has the intention of creating an entirely white America.” Like, ninety five percent of the time that’s not how racism WORKS in the real world, duh.
