A King With No Name

these are both still male dominated like……….this is wrong this is not more women than men look its plain and simple wtf

Men, despite dominating STEM fields, demonstrating that they do not even have a basic grasp on math.

Okay as depressing as this is, it’s really hilarious.

Not to mention that those fields which are closer to being evenly balanced gender-wise are also, SURPRISE, those that are currently least value

The problem with this post is that it deliberately cuts off the rest of the list and then doesn’t source it.

The paragraph above it also has something cut with is “some have a higher percentage of women then you might assume”. The point of the list isn’t necessarily to say these fields are dominated by women but that they have more women then you’d think.

On that note, the whole link is pretty good and talks about women joining fields like that and even links to some associations for women who are considering it.

I’m so happy right now

fun tip:

anxiety is not cured by forcing a person into the situation that makes them anxious

EXACTLY GOD BLESS YOUR GOOD SOUL

it’s called systematic desensitization and/or flooding and it’s one of the most effective treatments for anxiety and phobias

but you know, whatever, let’s keep being fucking stupid and demonizing treatment because it’s unpleasant to go through

Too true. Thank God someone corrected OP.

We’re the generation of women who will teach their sons to act respectfully instead of teaching our daughters to beware

This is everything I stand for.

This is such a load of bullshit that I wanna cry a little. And the fact that it has hundreds of thousands of notes worries me greatly for future generations, tbh.

Look, you should definitely teach your sons to be respectful. Hell, teach your daughters to be respectful. Teach your children, in general, to be respectful to anyone they plan on dating/loving/having sexual relations with/whatever. It’s common parenting sense there. Do not assume that your son(s) is the only who needs to learn this. Everyone should. Stop gendering sexual violence/domestic violence. It only prevents male victims from being taken seriously.

But the worst part of this is the “..instead of teaching our daughters to beware”.

No....teach your daughters to be fucking aware, omg. Teach your sons this too. Teach them to have some caution  in certain situations. Help them learn self defense and how to be wary of certain situations where they should have their guard up.

The fact is, no matter how much ignorant people keep spouting that ‘teach boys not to rape’ idiocy, rape will fucking happen. Violence will happen. Bad shit happens no matter how much people teach others that it’s bad. Trying to act like a person shouldn’t know how to defend themselves is bullshit.

#i’ve reblogged this like twice#and i think some people are reblogging this as a joke#but bless this man and what he stands for

how is this funny to anyone.

Those people obviously don’t realize the extremely high kill rate for cats at shelters, not to mention that people literally dump indoor cats outside when they don’t want them anymore, and indoor cats often die due to starvation/predators (duh they have no survival skills).  

Also - I might also be crying.

Jackson Galaxy is awesome. His story is is that he used to be a drug addict, and that while he was in the beginning of his recovery he saved a stray cat and nursed it back to life, and in return the cat essentially did the same for him, and ever since then, he’s taught himself everything there is to know about cats and their behavior. Cats saved his life, so he’s saving cats lives. He’s awesome.

"he set out to prove a point about how easy women have it"

This actually reminds me of that woman who's a lesbian who pretended to be a guy for like, 18 months, and when she was done, she wrote a book about it and how men don't have it as easy at people seem to think and that they have their own set of problems and issues, etc

She's even said that she was never so glad to be a female after it was all over.

Oh, her name was Norah Vincent.

I think tumblr has left a lot of us emotionally stunted. This is a great community for empowerment, catharsis, or coping, but those things aren’t recovery in and of themselves. Comparatively, they’re easy when compared to the painful self-reflection and real-world scenarios you’ll have to encounter on the road to true recovery. Not only does Tumblr not focus enough on recovery, but there’s almost a disdain here for the very notion.

There’s a lot of time spent validating everything. “Your symptoms are valid! Your responses are valid! Your depression is valid! Your coping is valid!” Well, yeah, all that stuff is definitely valid, and understanding that is important step in recovery, but it’s certainly not the final step. All that stuff is valid in the same way a baby chewing on a teething ring is valid, and there’s nothing to be embarrassed about if your recovery is still in its infancy, but Tumblr almost encourages you to stay there, to never grow out of it.

There’s a difference between what’s valid and what’s healthy, what’s best for you. I recently saw a post that validated people who stay in their room all day. Is that a valid response to anxiety? Sure. Is it a healthy response? Hell no, and there isn’t a person on Earth who can convincingly make the argument that the best thing you can do for your anxiety is to never leave your room.

Or how about those “how to care for a _________” posts? They’ve got some great tips there, and a lot of what they say is true, but you cannot reasonably expect people to coddle your issues, insecurities, or self-perceived inadequacies. Your recovery has to come from you. It has to be a difficult decision you make with yourself and carry through with because you need it. Your recovery can’t come from hoping other people will validate you.

No one should be ashamed of where they are in their recovery process, but there’s also no reason why you should be in the same place with your issues as you were in 2010.

Your final goal is not validation. It isn’t empowerment. It isn’t finding a way to get through the day. It isn’t being comfortable with your problems, nor is it accepting that they’ll never go away. The final goal is health. The final goal is happiness. The final goal is contentment. The final goal is recovery.

Your first time is NOT supposed to hurt

You are NOT supposed to bleed

If you bleed, that is NOT your hymen being ‘popped’, it is a tear due to lack of sexual arousal and natural lubrication.

This is all a MYTH perpetrated by men so they don’t have to make sure you are comfortable and sufficiently aroused enough before you have sex with them. It is an excuse to disregard and hurt you.

I just really want women to know this.

The fact that this post's main objective seems to be to blame men if a female feels any pain at all during their first time pisses me off.

Stop getting it in your heads that men are to blame for everything. Stop.

On top of that, yes...sometimes your first time can hurt. You may be too tense and nervous and your muscles aren't relaxed enough. It could be that you aren't aroused enough. Some women will feel discomfort from their hymen tearing (not all women, mind you, as most women tear their hymens at other points in their life from doing something as mundane as riding a bike).

The one thing that this post does get sort of right is yes, if you are bleeding it could be from a tear. HOWEVER. It could also be from your hymen, omfg. There are actually a few different reasons why you may bleed during your first time.

What you need to remember is communication, people. If you something hurts, if sex is really painful for you, anything, then say something. Most men will not continue if you are in actual pain and need to stop. If something is wrong, SAY SOMETHING IS WRONG. If soemthing just doesn't feel right to you, then say so and stop and then figure out what's going on. If you can't figure it out between the two of you, then go see a doctor.

Oh...one last thing: MOST MEN WANT YOU TO BE COMFORTABLE DURING SEX AND TO ENJOY IT. Kthanksbye.

THIS MAN HAS ALS, AND HIS ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH. THEN IT’LL MAKE YOU CRY

The video begins humorously as Anthony Carbajal, a photographer, dresses up in a neon bikini top and soaps up a car before being doused with ice water. 

So watch the full video here and laugh out loud at the first half and then get ready to tear up in the second half. 

If you own a dog, please share.

Many of these are dangerous to cats and companion birds as well!

“I also thank Angelina for dressing in hijab while she visited not just Iraqi refugees but refugees in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Not only did she look good in it, she showed respect and appreciation for their culture and religion and made sure that the focus was not on her looks but rather her mission.”
