I obviously participate wholeheartedly in that class and when the professor asked why it could be a bad thing (looking for an answer about how women could use it for revenge against men who have slighted them which… ugh that’s a whole separate issue) I talked about how it is another manifestation of rape culture. Another example of women being given tools to avoid rape instead of men...

Things to Worry About
pinkhotel:
In 1933, F. Scott Fitzgerald ended a letter to his 11-year-old daughter, Scottie, with the following:
Things to worry about: Worry about courage Worry about cleanliness Worry about efficiency Worry about horsemanship Things not to worry about: Don’t worry about popular opinion Don’t worry about dolls Don’t worry about the past Don’t worry about the future Don’t worry about growing...

i wish it was socially acceptable to shout “PUT IT IN MY BUTT!” as like, an affection thing. instead of saying “I love you” all over the place.
In my group of friends, the only thing more acceptable and affectionate than shouting “put it in my butt” is sticking your finger in/around their butt.

For my Human Sexuality class (that I’m INSANELY excited about) we have to find an article every week pertaining to anything about human sexuality and write a short response to it. I’ve pretty much already planned all of mine out because of how many gender theory blogs I follow. Again, can’t contain my excitement.
The only problem with the class is that it’s full of...

I think I think this as much about romantic love as I do about friend love. They’re almost exactly the same love anyway, except there is (usually) no sex with friend love (unless there is).

so far the weirdest thing about scotland is the fact that newspapers call professors of political science AND QUOTE THEM for stories about politics. “hey person who has studied this thing, what do you think? the public values your opinion!”
