AMINA: there is literally nothing a man who I am not attracted to in any... →

maisonmartinmargielous:

there is literally nothing a man who I am not attracted to in any shape or form can do to make me want him

I hate this idea that there are tips and tricks to getting women like the fact that you have to essentially deceive and disguise yourself in order for someone to like you is sf scary and weird to me

it also reinforces the idea that when a woman says no she means convince me or continue to try different things

like wtf that’s scary and violent thinking

I see this shit perpetuated in so many narratives within movies, television it’s scary af

and there are men who think this shit is normal that scares me

its the notion of boycotts

you wanna know why the bus boycotts of the civil rights movement were so successful?

because an alternative black run transportation system was created for those who couldn’t walk to work or whatever they…

There’s this kind of fauxtivism out there that I tend to call “What I was going to do anyway” activism.  You see it in these “don’t buy anything” or “don’t drive anywhere” days as well as boycotts of mass retailers, or “Israeli products” (as if these people have any idea which of their products are Israeli, and which Israeli companies support the occupation).  It’s a bunch of (well-to-do, white, natch) liberals convincing each other that their lifestyle choices are based in social consciousness rather than preference and tribalism.

You eat organic food and share a CSA with the couple downstairs because the food is delicious, not because your eating organic is saving the world.

You don’t go to Walmart because your type of person doesn’t go to Walmart, not because of some consciousness of low-wage workers’ problems.

You ride your bike, and that’s great, but a lot of people drive because they have to and can’t make that lifestyle choice.

You participate in things like “Buy Nothing Day” and “Don’t Drive Day” because you work a job that allows you to do so, and because your family won’t go hungry if you take a day off or work from home, or if you skip the groceries.

These aren’t activism.  They’re something of the opposite, really.  They’re status markers.  They’re flaunting wealth and social class.  And they are taking up space that could be used for actual activism, for organizing real action.

[insert literary reference]: Why Do Men Keep Putting Me in the Girlfriend-Zone? →

literaryreference:

You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend.

But…

What about the one where a bunch of teenage asian girls mysteriously all have d-cups and solve crime while somehow being ineffectual and blatantly dumb
You’re both forgetting about the one with the giant robot.

I’ve heard those are good ones.

I feel like I should point out that most of everything is terrible, I just keep running into people who claim “anime” is great as if that was a genre and not a word for “animation from Japan”.

but what about the one with the incredibly brash superpowered guy and his ridiculously buxom companion and how they save the world from various racially ambiguous creatures just in time to accomplish nothing of note

That’s good, but it’s not as good as the one about the skinny, nerdy guy who is weirdly appealing to women but gets too nervous around them for it to ever go anywhere for several seasons.

You know, there are exceptions, but mostly I just hate anime, folks.

“Stop & frisk policies shouldn’t bother you if you’re not doing anything wrong”, says NYPD, right before claiming that judicial oversight is too intrusive.
