To make it clear, my thoughts and love are with anyone who’s ever experienced pregnancy or child loss. I don’t ever want to be pregnant, but I cannot even begin to imagine how horrible it must be to lose your own child. If any followers have had this happen and ever want to talk about it, our ask box is always open. However. This does not give anyone the right to be judgemental of people who choose abortion. Their lives have nothing to do with yours. Their choice to abort is not the same as you losing your child. You had your choice taken from you and you know how terrible that was, so why would you want to take away someone else’s? Preventing someone from aborting will not bring back what you lost. It’s incredibly selfish to demand that others do something they don’t want to because you suffered a loss. It is the textbook definition of selfishness. -V

To touch on this.

Most of the followers are aware that in January, I lost my daughter. However, I am still actively pro-choice. Being stripped of my choice to carry my child was miserable and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Every person deserves the choice. There is also no comparison between miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS and abortion.

We blindfolded 15 homophobes and asked them to hit piñatas with a stick. The piñatas were actually deadly Asian giant hornet nests. What happens next will warm your heart.

This is disgusting bigotry against Christians at its finest.

I love the part where this post never mentioned Christians but you saw the word homophobe and jumped to your own defense anyways.

A classic post

Just don't...

When women talk about the current state of sexism and misogyny, it isn’t the job of men to derail and change the subject by bloviating about what a goodguy™ they think they are.

When Lgbtq people complain about the state of discrimination, homophobia or trans-misogyny, that is not a cue for straight cis people to interject themselves into the conversation by proclaiming how “tolerant” and accepting they think they are. 

When Black people talk about institutional anti-blackness and racism, that is not a personal invitation for white people to derail by talking about how “colorblind” they think they are. And it also isn’t a challenge for NBPoC to derail with their version of the Oppression Olympics.

When people living with a disability talk about ableism or how difficult it is living in a world not made to accommodate them is, guess what? That’s not a sign that they want abled people to change the conversation to how they (claim to) treat everyone equally regardless of physical or mental challenges.

Come on people. It’s not that difficult, is it? We get it. Everyone gets it: You think that you’re a great person. But your alleged greatest wasn’t the point of the conversation that you just barged into, was it? What does that really add to the convo? Telling everyone what a wonderful human being you think you are might make YOU feel a little better, but exactly what does that do for the people you just stepped all over? Nothing. Absolutely, positively nothing.

And yes, if you do this version of “but not ALL…” then you should feel badly for trying to turn a post about a marginalized group’s suffering into an opportunity to boast about what an outstanding person you believe you are. Trust me, no one’s going to mistake you for an ally when you pull this kind of shit. There is an easily recognizable difference between “I feel bad that this is happening to other people” and, “BUT I’M NOT LIKE THAT!”

Sometimes there are conversations oppressed people have that do not require your input if you aren’t being oppressed. Particularly when said input isn’t showing true empathy, but instead is nothing more meaningful than you trying (and failing) to masquerade your “humble bragging” about how enlightened you supposedly are. Stop derailing. Just stop it. Stop trying to make it all about you.

Say her name. Never forget the struggle of being black in America. Honor the victims of police brutality. Fight against The Police State.

Guys please reblog this. The death of black women must be mourned too.

Am I the only one that’s a just a tiny bit pissed off that this is still an issue?

The Original Series wasn’t even in the general VICINITY of fucking around yo

How many shows these days would do this, and do it this way? These days, it would be all, “Ohh, we have to be sensitive and show the nuances of each side” and try not to make either side seem wrong. It wouldn’t be clearly spelled out, “pro-choice is right, if you’re against it you’re the bad guys.”

Jim Kirk is not here for your anti-birth-control, anti-choice, pro-death-penalty BS

James Tiberius Kirk was written and portrayed as a feminist and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Yep.  That episode is exactly what you think it is:  pro-birth control, pro-population control, pro-choice, and pro-women’s right to choose.  And yes, Kirk, the supposed playboy of the spaceways, is in favor of all of the above.

It was written and aired in 1969.  

It probably couldn’t air today.

THINK ABOUT THAT.

Also LMAO at all the sad whiny geek boys who are like “I miss the GOOD OLD DAYS of SCI-FI when it wasn’t all about SOCIAL ISSUES and instead it was just about MEN HAVING FUN IN SPACE. Like Star Trek! Star Trek wouldn’t put up with all this SOCIAL JUSTICE FEMINISM IN SCI FI bullshit!” And meanwhile I’m just over here like “…did you actually watch the show?” 

@judicialmistrangementorder

It’s also important to bear in mind that the Original Series had a predominantly female fanbase, and during its initial run, was widely mocked and dismissed by mainstream (i.e., male) science fiction fans as being fake sci-fi for girls. It’s difficult to overstate the influence women had on the franchise in its early days; most of the early Star Trek conventions were organised by and for women, and indeed, those same organisers were primarily responsible for the massive letter-writing campaign that prevented the show from being cancelled after the 1968 season. Without that campaign, the episode pictured in this post would never have been made.

The popular image of James Kirk as a sleazy womaniser is part of a conscious effort to erase that history and render the franchise’s roots palatable to the misogynistic geekboys of the modern SF/F fandom.

For a summary of those points, see “Star Trek’s Underappreciated Feminist History” by Shannon Mizzi, which draws from Patricia Vettel-Becker’s “Space and the Single Girl: Star Trek, Aesthetics, and 1960s Femininity”.

And a gentle reminder that TOS was a Desilu production, which its board of directors voted to cancel after the second pilot due to cost concerns, a vote that Chairman Lucille Ball overruled. There is no Star Trek without Lucille Ball.

“Stop teaching girls that boys are mean to them because they like them.” hand embroidered jacket, King Sophie’s World.

I work with kids and they always tell me how boys pick on them at school and how they tell the teachers and the teachers are always like ‘they just like you’ and i always tell them no don’t listen to that someone who likes you is suppose to treat you with respect. I hate that people say ‘they probably like you’ fuck that

I want to be politically informed and educated but I also wanna have a good day and be in a good mood. Do you see my problem?

Teen Found Dead In Police Custody; Police Won’t Give Family Any Details

16 year old Gynnya McMillen was found dead early Monday morning at a juvenile detention center near Elizabethtown, according to the Kentucky Justice Cabinet. A spokesperson told WDRB she couldn’t give any details, except that it happened early Monday morning, Jan. 11.

According to the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet’s statement, the girl was found unresponsive. Officials did not say where she was found and her autopsy reads that she has “no cause of death,” leaving a lot of people asking questions like how a completely healthy teenage girl was found dead without any cause?

McMillens sister took to Facebook asking that her sister’s death not be ignored. She wrote:

The family of the victim is saying police won’t give them any information and not a single media source is covering this story.

Police in the area are said to be “investigating the death.” Which we all know what that means…

STOP IGNORING US !

#SAYHERNAME

80% of disabled women are sexually assaulted. Stop leaving disability out of the conversation. 

And do you have some stats and sources to back up this claim?

Here are some more sources that cite 80% as the average percentage of disabled women who are sexually assaulted. 

I am one of those women.

Stand up for our disabled sisters.

Every time I see this post I froth at the mouth a bit because there was literally a source in the fucking OP that alexblank scumbag responded to. 

It’s literally the perfect picture of why people asking for sources don’t even fucking care about sources over half the time. Now people who genuinely want a source have to preface it like “I’m not saying ur lying I just wanna read about it myself” because four out of every five people are anti-sj dickbags who will never actually read the source and are only trying to derail. 

Okay, besides the fact that drug testing people for welfare is extremely useless, costly, and inefficient; drug addicts/users deserve food and housing just like anyone else. Stop acting like you care about who uses welfare and just admit that you want drug addicts to die when you say you want to drug test people for welfare.

The government does not want to give money that might end up in the hands of drug dealers. The government is not going to fund people’s addictions.

Is that so, because the government has been working with a drug cartel to create a monopoly effectively making them billionaires. But I see you’re more worried about killing drug users than actual problems.

It always gets me when MRAs bring up the draft as an example of discrimination against men. Yes, it’s true that no woman in America has ever been subject to conscription in times of war; however, being that the most recent draft was in 1973, most likely neither have you. If you get to drag up stuff that happened before you were born, so does everybody else - and I’m pretty sure the ladies are going to win that particular game of misery poker.

BAM.

Also, considering the draft was voted into law by Congress in 1940 but the first woman was elected to Congress in 1973, men only have themselves to blame. We didn’t decide the rules of the draft. They did.

welp

Actually, the first woman was elected to Congress in 1916 and was in office in 1940. Her name was Jeanette Rankin.

She was also a lifelong pacifist. She opposed every declaration of war bll that crossed her desk, and her vote was the only one against the proposal to go to war with Japan, because “As a woman I can’t go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else.”

The men in Congress demanded she changed her vote and she refused. She was attacked by an angry mob and maligned in the press.

BAM.

Do not apologize to me for your bad English. There is nothing to be sorry about for learning to speak English. It’s hard. You are trying your best and I’m proud of you.

#ILookLikeAnEngineer

I highlighted some of my favorite bits. I love how men are CONSUMED by their certainty that feminism is actually all about them. Because everything MUST be. Or literally ruining the Earth, or literally tearing out our own DNA, I forget what our agenda is this week.

These feminists, much like the Orcs of Mordor

Me when I see a stray male who has wandered away from his flock:

You missed the best one!

I think the “women are mysterious” thing can also come from:

1) Women actually being quite clear, but not telling men what they want to hear.  ”She said she doesn’t want to talk to me?  So many mixed messages and confusing signals!”

2) Women not having cheat codes.  ”I tried being nice, and she didn’t have sex with me.  I tried being an asshole, and she didn’t have sex with me.  Come on, there’s got to be some kind of solution to this puzzle!”

3) Women not being a hive mind.  ”First a woman told me that she likes guys with big muscles.  Then the very next day a woman told me she thinks muscles aren’t attractive at all.  Make up your mind, women!”

4) An individual woman doing something confusing, and instead of asking “why is she doing this now?” men ask “why do women always do this?”

Always reblog

12-year-old Waleed Abushaaban’s class was watching Bend It Like Beckham when the teacher allegedly called him a terrorist. The educator has since been placed on leave, but claims her comment is being taken out of context.

I’m so sorry baby
