why are the people most vocal about social issue...
there is nothing wrong about having an opinion, but why are they so much more vocal than the people whose lives those issues actually affect? it just makes me roll my eyes over how these guys try to show they’re so ~progressive~ or something. what would we do without them posting links and commentary to facebook?
meanwhile i try to post interesting quality articles that aren’t always...
lady-xanthine asked: I realise this was a while ago but I've seen you suggesting about getting the GED to avoid high school if it's really that bad. This isn't everyone's situation, but by the time I'm old enough to get mine (which I do plan on doing) I'll only have my senior year left, so it's not really helping all that much. But I am getting out! And to everyone else who's...
huntressthewizard asked: I like how the guy doesn't even spell "women" right in any part of the article.

can we end the debate over the origin of the word... →
I guess it doesn’t mean anything because the dictionary has men working on it.
“Wif” in Old English meant woman, not wife. So woman means “woman + human being”. But I guess the word woman still has man in it. :(
a-c-t-g asked: Someone in class told me most every swear word is misogynistic and terms like woMEN and HIStory were "reflective of patriarchy". I can't.
985374 asked: Something I've noticed all over tumblr is that people get really offended at the whole you are weird thing, it really only means your in the minority so why get upset about it? Also you said you hate the acronym LGBT and I was wondering why? It seems really innocuous to me.
cochignon asked: Judaism is not an ethnic group! Hitler was just a very aggressive theology debater!
caloudermilk asked: I have yet to read or watch Gatsby but that post... Jewish is not a race though... It's a belief system. If you are Jewish, you are not POC. Unless you are a POC who happens to be Jewish. And if Gatsby did turn out to have roots in the Saxon area of Europe, that would make him very much white, most likely.

Why do people care more about dumb but honest...
I’m actually not condemning anyone over not caring about the Bangladesh factory collapse of May 2013 that killed over 1000 people but tumblr needs to stop pretending that it has its priorities straight. In good faith, I’m going to say that I have not seen one post of outrage over Gap and their practices. Here on tumblr douchey comments from a guy in a scurrilous industry is a...
yoikoyokochou asked: wait is there something wrong with demisexuality? i always thought it was a legitimate thing, not a sj thing.

socialjusticepua asked: I have no problem with slash if that's what people are into, but ive noticed every self proclaimed hardcore feminist I know (who will flippantly call anyone who likes a movie they don't racist/sexist etc) is super into it, and of course they will tolerate 0 criticism of stuff THEY like. And girl/girl just isn't popular with men in general, be it mainstream porn or any fandoms,...

Loaded language on RationalWiki →
Here’s a pretty good list of words I don’t like being used by either Sjers or people against them. We can all use a little less of these words in our language. Obviously, some of the words here are only pejorative in some contexts, but I hope people catch the gist of this list. Using words like these in a pejorative way contribute absolutely nothing to the discussion.

what's all the stupid drama over dress codes?
apparently revealing outfits for women are objectifying and sexist but if you deny the right for girls to wear them at high school you’re sexist too. apparently not wanting to see a girl’s underwear in a school setting is like shoving a burqa on her.
I don’t know, it does seem intuitive to me personally that you fight against the sexualization of women by wearing sexualizing...
positronmorbid asked: I think people should try to avoid getting political about fandom stuff, it's just stupid and a waste of time. Once I saw this radfem go "I luw yaoi cause it's misandrist!" and I didn't know what to say, cause that was so stupid.
the-garden-of-fez asked: It's funny how girl shippers get accused of fetishizing male slash ff more than the guy who fetishizes femslash or porn. I do agree with you about how fandom should a political free zone though.
abitnotgoodyeah asked: Could you recommend any blogs similar to yours? I really enjoy this blog and wish I had more like it on my dash.
aminoasinine asked: I think maybe this whole issue could be resolved if people wouldn't try to act like fandoms are such serious business that they have to bring social issues into it. Nobody has any perspective anymore and suddenly having opinions about fiction is exactly the same thing as - if not elevated above - having opinions about things that actually occur in reality.
themacdaddydragonofthenyc asked: People don't like queer because it stems from it meaning "weird", and those who DON'T label themselves with everything under the sun, they DON'T want to be weird! (We just want to be normal, okay?)
memoriescantwait asked: Ok but is "slash" as a "culture" really that awful, or is it just that some slash fans - usually teen girls who are confused about their own sexualities - write bad, sexist, fetishizing slash? Because I used to think that but when I started reading it I found overall, those qualities are far less common than people say. And re: it being about white men, I think the blame there...
shaneaniguns asked: What about nobody minds anyone's business? Do people wanna call themselves otherkin or whatever? Their business. You can find it weird, but it's not your place as a complete stranger to judge someone else's life and choices and to go tell them what you think of them, because your opinion about someone else's life is totally irrelevant and annoying. Just stop being so...
shaneaniguns asked: I don't think it's just tumblr. Go on ONTD for example, you'll find yourself being attacked from everyone as soon as you say something that's even slightly not politically correct. Also, they'll call you racist for the stupidest reasons. I unsubscribed because it's not a funny place to be.
memoriescantwait asked: The "slash is problematic!" thing bothers me because in some of the fandoms I'm in, what I've mostly seen is that it emboldens people who are exclusively into heterosexual romance to think they're more "feminist" than people who like slash, and to get really self-righteous about the fact that they're grossed out by buttsex, and call everyone who is into...

willshetterly asked: The curious thing about the revival of "person of color" is it assumes people who appear to be descended from Europeans are the color of milk. But just as everyone's originally African, everyone is "of color".
