Bon Iver: And I told you to be patient, and I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced, and I told you to be kind, but now all your love is wasted. And then who the hell was I?
Death Cab: So one last touch and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more. But it was vile, and it was cheap and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me. Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Radiohead: But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling if I just turn and run. And it wears me out... It wears me out. If I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted all the time... all the time.
Brand New: You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold. Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones, spring keeps you ever close. You are secondhand smoke, you are so fragile and thin standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins.
Nicki Minaj: You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe.You a stupid hoe you a you a stupid hoe. You stupid stupid, you a stupid hoe
The-Womanifesto: I always hate things like this. Take shitty lyrics from one artist and put it next to the good lyrics from other artists. I can throw out a good Nicki one for you: "All the girls will come in as long as they understand that I'm fightin' for the girls that never thought they could win because before they could begin you told them it was the end but I am here to reverse the curse that they live in." It's not fair to just take one song from an artist and pin it next to another artist, especially when said artists are in different genres that deal with different subject matter.
Anonymous asked: How do you deal with someone who says 'Everyone wants a key that can open many locks, but not a lock that gets opened by many keys' when referring to why there are double standards amongst men and women when it comes to slut-shaming? It's just so frustrating and obviously stupid but I have no idea what to say to that :/
forthesakeofblasphemy asked: Hi! I recently found your blog and absolutely love it! It's helped me a lot, since I recently became a feminist and I feel so much more in control and strong. I'm also a writer, but a project I have been working on precedes my feminism. So I have come to you asking about what makes a good female character. I'm appalled by how the media often portrays women, but I find it difficult...

Kate Upton was born in 1992.
How the fuck am I older than her? She’s a freaking woman and I can still pass for 17!

I’ve been seeing a lot of whining about child support lately. Men, if you don’t want to pay child support, don’t have sex. Keep it in your pants. Simple as that. Or you could have a vasectomy. The choice is yours but once there is a baby or child in the picture, it’s time for you to grow the hell up and take some responsibility.
BAHAHAHA! I see what you did...
Anonymous asked: Kill yourself.
humanitariansconnect asked: Regarding my post about male domestic abuse, you're absolutely right, talking about it relating to all genders is needed. Men are just rarely talked about because the stigma is higher for them. All abuse is horrible and wrong.

I want a decrease in abortions.
Making them illegal won’t do that. There were still be just as many abortions, they’ll just be done illegally and many people will be injured, sometimes fatally, in order to get the procedure.
I want a decrease in abortions. I want everyone to have full access to whatever birth control suits their needs. I want them to be properly educated. I want people to stop raping other people...

This means that if a parent elects to have a home birth, they do not (legally) have the option of seeking professional assistance. Midwives are trained to recognize when a parent needs to be transferred to a hospital; without their presence home births become needlessly risky. Parents should be able to choose whether or not to have a CNM present at a...

Lana Del Rey
I love Lana Del Rey’s voice majorly. It’s low sexiness is great. But I wish she sang like in the chorus of Off to the Races more often. It’s sooo good. Probably because I’m such a Lykke Li and Oh Land fan and she sounds more like them there.

I am over rape culture, rape mentality, rape pages on Facebook.

We victim blame for a reason.

We like to blame rape victims for what happened to them for a simple reason. We’re afraid.
We’ve been raised to think that if you are good, good things will happen to you. Do your chores, get an allowance. Get all As, get a pizza party. And then if you do something bad, bad things will happen. Fail a class, you’re grounded. You get the idea.

"Do you believe in birth control?"
keepyourboehneroutofmyuterus:
Asked at tonight’s GOP debate. Like that is a real question. As if birth control is on same level as “unicorns” or “leprechauns”. Is birth control now a “theory” like evolution or climate change?
Also, it is 2012 or 1927?
In related thoughts, my head is sore from banging it into the wall.

Racist Coding.
Inspired by this post by The Goddamazon and the string of bullshit from racist white people that followed.
I have definitely experienced the “soooo hey, yeah, you’re white so you know what I’m talkin’ about here, ya know, yeah? [insert racist comment]” soo many times. Some white people will think that just because they’re around other white people, they can say...

I’m sorry that I always ‘like’ your personal posts even when they’re about not-so-great things. I just want you to know that I’m reading them and feeling for you! A Tumblr ‘like’ is the atheist version of a prayer.
And a diva is the female version of a hustla.

I hate how much rape victims are always separated from others in “pro-life” talks. For one, they are completely exploiting victims for their own agenda. And two, anyone should have equal access to abortions, no matter how they became pregnant. By separating the two, you say that one group is good and one is bad and they are bad because they chose to have sex. By separating the...
