Just random stuff I find interesting

This pattern — women can dress like men, but men don’t dress like women — suggests that there is, in fact, something demeaning, ridiculous, or subordinating about presenting oneself to the male gaze. Most men feel stupid, gross, or vulnerable when they do it. This isn’t just about conformity to different gendered expectations. If it were just about difference women would feel equally weird dressing in men’s clothes. Instead, when women adopt masculine ways of dressing and moving, they often feel empowered.
So, when men do femininity they feel ridiculous and when women do masculinity they feel awesome. This is what gender inequality looks like.

YES

can i print this and hang it up everywhere?
(via jayandsilentboob)
yes, this. especially as a genderfluid person, for the longest time even the thought of dressing up in women’s clothing was a no-no for me, but still, there’s a society-put break in my head of not being able to wear said clothing in public, though I sometimes would want to

I think a lot of us have heard this song before. But this is just awesome.
Pro-choice version of “Forget You”
Chorus:
See you tryin’ to take the rights
From the sisters I love
And I’m like, forget you
I guess the rape redefinition
Wasn’t enough
And I’m like, forget you
And those dumb laws too
Said if I was richer
I’d probably bribe ‘ya
Huh! Ain’t that some shhhh!
And now there’s pain in my womb
From your impending doom
I’m like, forget you
Verse 1:
I’m sorry
I was born with ovaries
But that don’t mean
I can’t make a choice
Guess they’re all rich men
And we’re all paltry
Gotta let ‘em know
We have a voice
I pity the fool
Who wants to vote for you
(They don’t have a uterus)
Well
(They don’t care about us)
Ooooohooooo
I got some news for you
We’re not gonna take this BS no more
Chorus
Verse 2:
I know
You had to borrow
From China for the economy
Spending trillions
On the wars
Killing other people’s babies.
I pity the fool
Who wants to vote for you
(They don’t have a uterus)
Well…
(They don’t care about us)
Oooohooooo
I got some news for you
Oohhh I really hate your ass right now
Chorus
Bridge:
Now crazy, crazy, rich men
Why you wanna wanna hurt us so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
Don’t force us to be mamas
You don’t force responsibility
On dads
(the dads, the dads, the dads)
And I was like,
Uh! Why? Uh! Why? Uh Why??? Rich man
I hate you! I still hate you! Ohhhhh
Chorus.
Thank you, stfuhypocrisy!

Melissa Harris-Perry: “How White People Can Talk About Trayvon Martin
I was prepared to hate this. I figured she was going to be one of mine that had to be collected in the name of “Satire.” I am glad I was wrong and…can each and every person who sees this, commit this list to memory and use it not only in the Trayvon Martin case but ya know, always?

[image description: seven .gifs of Barack Obama with captions; each .gif shows him speaking directly into the camera, behind him are the American and Presidential flags; captions read “For most Americans, protecting women’s health is a mssion that stands above politics. And yet over the past year, [Planned Parenthood has] had to stand up to politicians who want to deny millions of women the care they rely on. And inject themselves into decisions that are best made between a woman and her doctor. Let’s be clear here. Women are not an interest group. They’re mothers. And daughters. And sisters. And wives. They’re half of this country. And they’re perfectly capable of making their own choices about their health. We must continue to send a message loud and clear. If you truly value families, you shouldn’t play politics with a woman’s health. I know [Planned Parenthood] will never stop fighting to protect the healthcare and the choices that America’s women deserve. And as long as I have the privilege of being your President, neither will I.”]

Planned Parenthoodwomen’s rights supporters from President Obama.
