IF YOUR FIRST REACTION IS THAT YOU DON’T LIKE HAVING YOUR GENDER GENERALIZED BY THE MASS VIOLENCE IT INFLICTS ON A WOMAN (AND ON WOMEN IN GENERAL) AND YOU FEEL THE NEED TO GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO STATE THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT NOT ALL MEN ARE LIKE THAT OVER KEEPING THE FOCUS ON THE FACT THOUSANDS OF MEN RELEASED A WOMAN’S ADDRESS WHILE THREATENING RAPE AND GRUESOME DEATH…
THEN YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM
AND YOU DON’T CARE
AND YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP.
SORRY NOT SORRY.

“Ladies. Girls. Let me tell you something: Collusion and complicity with misogyny, misogynoir and sexism will NEVER make you immune from their harmful effects. Stop co-signing/repeating/endorsing that hateful bullshit from men. “Good Girls” can get it too, and usually do.”

motivation behind misogyny:
- men maintaining power over women
results of misogyny:
- rape, abuse, murder, lower pay, less opportunities, general discrimination and loss of power, restrictive gender roles, and much, much more.
motivation behind misandry:
- men as a group sure do a lot of bad things as a result of their gendered power and male privilege, im not sure that i trust them or even like them.
results of misandry:

Anonymous threatens to out boys involved in alleged gang rape of N.S. teen unless RCMP charges them
The “hackivist” organization Anonymous says it knows the identities of at least two of the four boys involved in the alleged gang rape of Rehtaeh Parsons and are threatening to release their names and locations unless the RCMP charges them.
“Our demands are simple: We want the N.S. RCMP to take immediate legal action against the individuals in question. We encourage you to act fast. If we were able to locate these boys within 2 hours, it will not be long before someone else finds them,” the Anonymous group working under the name “Operation Justice For Rehtaeh” said in a Wednesday press release.
The group initially said they knew the names of two of the four boys, but within 30 minutes said on Twitter it knew the names of all of the alleged perpetrators.
“We do not approve of vigilante justice as the media claims. That would mean we approve of violent actions against these rapists at the hands of an unruly mob. What we want is justice. And that’s your job. So do it.”

The “i don’t support abortion, but every women has the right to choose” argument
antiprolife:
voicefortheunborn:
I don’t support rape, but the rapist has the right to choose.
I don’t support child abuse, but the parents have the right to choose.
I don’t support prostitution, but its their choice if they want to.
I don’t support murder, but its not my choice to make.
The choice to stand by and do nothing, or accept things because they will always continue to happen is not a choice at all, it’s enabling evil and saying “well i believe what you’re doing is wrong, but i have no intention to stop you or to say anything that might offend you”.
“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” - Albert Einstein
Rape, child abuse, and murder hurt other people people. The only person an abortion has any kind of effect on is the person receiving one.
Stop fucking comparing people who have had abortions to rapists, abusers, and murderers.

I’d rather there be one million abortions preformed everyday than one million unloved, unwanted, abandoned children be born every year.
This is so goddamn sad. I’m sorry, but the waiting list for private adoptions is 5 years long— none of those children would ever need to be unwanted.
It’s 5 years long because people want healthy, white newborns. They don’t give a shit about the premee who can live a perfectly fine life. They don’t give a shit about an 18 month old. They don’t give a shit about mixed children.
There are millions of children up for adoption all over the world. The reason that list is 5 years long is because people are pigs and morons.

Unemployed Black Woman Pretends to be White, Job Offers Suddenly Skyrocket
alookinglassgirl:
November 15, 2012 | Filed under: BizTechNews | Posted by: bowatkin If you don’t believe that racism in the job market is real, then please read this article by Yolanda Spivey. Spivey, who was seeking work in the insurance industry, found that she wasn’t getting any job offers. But as an experiment, she changed her name to Bianca White, to see if employers would respond differently. You’ll be shocked and amazed by her phenomenal story.
Yolanda Spivey Writes:
First, I created an email account and resume for Bianca. I kept the same employment history and educational background on her resume that was listed on my own. But I removed my home phone number, kept my listed cell phone number, and changed my cell phone greeting to say, “You have reached Bianca White. Please leave a message.” Then I created an online Monster.com account, listed Bianca as a White woman on the diversity questionnaire, and activated the account.
That very same day, I received a phone call. The next day, my phone line and Bianca’s email address, were packed with potential employers calling for an interview. I was stunned. More shocking was that some employers, mostly Caucasian-sounding women, were calling Bianca more than once, desperate to get an interview with her. All along, my real Monster.com account was open and active; but, despite having the same background as Bianca, I received no phone calls.

MRAs quit kiddin’ yourselves that you’re making the world a good place to live
it’s been said before and said better, but here: if you really cared about men’s rights, you’d care about
- men of color
- trans* men
- queer men
- disabled men
- poor men
- mentally ill men
- homeless men
the only time you care about any of the above is when you’re spitting on women and using those men as examples. thereby proving that you care more about hating women than caring about those men.
have a nice fucking day. keep crying about a society who is caring less and less about the bullshit rhetoric you spew.

“The problem with No Means No and similar campaigns is that it implies that a person always is available for sex until he or she says no, that sex is always on the table until the person actively opposes it. The positive thing with a culture that unites over the idea that Yes Means Yes is that everyone would need to communicate when they want to have sex, and not the other way around.”
