Why is it that when a woman is raped/beaten/murdered/etc it’s always “violence against women” Why not violence against people?
The moment you disagree with a tumblr feminist:
thebourgeoisiehobo:
“You’re just internalizing your misogyny!”
“No, that’s what the patriarchy WANTS you to believe!”
“So you hate all women?”
“White privilege.” “I thought we were talking about gender-” “WHITE PRIVILEGE”
“Male privilege.” “I’m a woman.” “Cis-woman privilege” “What does this have to do with-” “PRIVILEGE PRIVILEGE I HAD PRIVILEGE TOO BUT I RELINQUISHED IT IN THE GREAT BATH OF...

The fact that the majority of teenagers would rather listen to Justin Bieber or Taylor Momsen over Jimi Hendrix or Pink Floyd makes me want to fucking kill myself. Literally.

5 Reasons You Should Never Agree to a Police Search (Even if You Have Nothing to Hide)

-Scott Morgan, Associate Director, FlexYourRights.org
Do you know what your rights are when a police officer asks to search you? If you’re like most people I’ve met in my eight years working to educate the public on this topic, then you probably don’t.

motoroladroid:
After 5 hours of strenuous, sweaty, labor, a woman finally gives birth. Her red, crying face smiles weakly as the doctor presents her child to her. “Congratulations, he’s a boy!” says the doctor.
The woman sits up suddenly, her soaked hair falling over her shoulders. “YOU CISSEXIST PIECE OF SHIT!” she screams at the doctor. “WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN HE’S A BOY? HOW THE HELL DO...
How Government Hurts The Poor

The standard-bearer for this new class of exoplanet is called GJ 1214b, which astronomers first discovered in December 2009. New observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope suggest that GJ 1214b is a watery world enshrouded by a thick, steamy atmosphere.

roxygen:
Where is this free market you speak of? Do you honestly think that the US has no regulatory agencies, a central banking system, bailouts and public programs?
Really someone explain to me how we have managed to fabricate the existence of an economic system to blame for recent economic downturns.
There was no free market to start the recession. The free market didn’t bail out banks on...
