"Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat."

Thu, 23 May 2013 23:03:33 -0500

“Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.”

-
When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

I mean, it’s just true.

“Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

That’s it. That’s it right there.

Oh man. I had this for like a year after I finished the Chronicles of Narnia in 3rd grade. The only thing that cured it was discovering Harry Potter. Which really just caused an even worse hangover which I indulged with a little bit of hair of the dog (by which I mean fanfiction).

Send me a character and I'll tell you;

Today I was stopped in the hallway on my way to class by one of the security guards. She wouldn’t let me go to class and forced me to walk across the school to the main office to have my mom, who by the way was on her way to work, bring me “real pants” because the way I dressed was “sexually provocative.” Because of this I was ten minutes late to class, and after five minutes of actually being in class I was taken back out to be talked to again by the security guard and given my “real pants.”

These shorts are mid-thigh, and I am wearing opaque black tights. Other than my hands and my face, I had no skin showing whatsoever. So tell me, how is this being “sexually provocative?” (reminder: this is a typical american public high school, not a private or religious-oriented school)

The security guard ridiculed me, saying that what I was wearing was inappropriate. I told her that everyday, other girls walk around in skin-tight yoga pants, some even with their thongs clearly showing, and shirts that are see-through. “This is not bad clothing.” I had told her. This security guard plays favorites with the girls on who she does call out and doesn’t call out. On game days, the cheerleaders decide to wear their skirts that barely cover their butts and she doesn’t cal them out at all. She also openly said to my mom “I don’t look at what the boys are wearing, only the girls.”

When my mom came in to bring me the pants, she had a long talk with the security guard. She told my mom that I should know that there is a dress code, and that I should follow it. My mom told her “Maybe there shouldn’t be a dress code if it isn’t monitored consistently. This is double-standards.”

My mom also told her “The only distraction from class that is going on is you are pulling my daughter out of class and keeping her from learning.”

I had to walk up to this security guard to get my long pants, since she was talking to my mom, and my mom said to me sarcastically: “It appears that you are being sexually provocative, darling.”

“Oh yes mama, all the boys are just popping boners everywhere!” I pretended to swoon. We both left, my mom calling back to the security guard: “I didn’t need this today, you know. I need to get to work and I haven’t even showered yet. Good Job.”

The whole ordeal was ridiculous. Girls shouldn’t be ridiculed for wearing shorts. Even so, I was wearing thick tights that you couldn’t see through–much better than just wearing yoga pants. There is no way that what I was wearing could even be considered “sexually provocative.” Plus, anything the boys wear is completely fine in the eyes of the security guard, it’s only what the girls are wearing that are “inappropriate.” Even yoga pants where you can see the thong through it don’t “disrupt class” because nobody cares enough about what a student wears and does not wear, only the security guards.

tl;dr, dress codes are counterproductive and the enforcers cause more disruption for a student’s learning than shorts do.

♬ my sweater tights and mid thigh shorts bring all the boys to the yard ♪

Reminds me of the time this girl in my class who was wearing shorts that went almost to her knees asked to use the restroom, took forever, and came back wearing different pants. She said she got stopped in the hall because her shorts were inappropriate so she changed into her sweatpants for PE. Even our teacher was like “What?” I guess her knees were just really provocative.

My friend was given a warning because they decided her mid thigh length sweater dress and cableknit tights were inappropriate. As it was winter, the only skin on her you could see was her face, as she was wearing gloves.

Dear high schools: Can you not.

“

I read several dozen stories a year from miserable, lonely guys who insist that women won’t come near them despite the fact that they are just the nicest guys in the world.

..I’m asking what do you offer? Are you smart? Funny? Interesting? Talented? Ambitious? Creative? OK, now what do you do to demonstrate those attributes to the world? Don’t say that you’re a nice guy — that’s the bare minimum.

“Well, I’m not sexist or racist or greedy or shallow or abusive! Not like those other douchebags!”

I’m sorry, I know that this is hard to hear, but if all you can do is list a bunch of faults you don’t have, then back the fuck away..

..Don’t complain about how girls fall for jerks; they fall for those jerks because those jerks have other things they can offer. “But I’m a great listener!” Are you? Because you’re willing to sit quietly in exchange for the chance to be in the proximity of a pretty girl (and spend every second imagining how soft her skin must be)? Well guess what, there’s another guy in her life who also knows how to do that, and he can play the guitar. Saying that you’re a nice guy is like a restaurant whose only selling point is that the food doesn’t make you sick. You’re like a new movie whose title is This Movie Is in English, and its tagline is “The actors are clearly visible”.

So, I know this Onion article is trying to be cheeky and funny, but it does something that I see quite often — the diminishment and dismissal of something because it is important to/created by/maintained by someone both young and female.

You’ll notice the article doesn’t discuss the blogs of teenage boys (and those are rarely mentioned in other commentaries on and about tumblr). So, I think it says and shows something far more insidious about OUR culture. It says that young girls (and women, by extension) have no worth.

That’s not only sad, it’s dangerous.

This post isn’t meant to knock on The Onion — we all know what it does.

It just struck me as something that is thrown out there by many (and not just in speaking of tumblr). Think about what you are saying and its implications.

Speech has power.

It’s a new form of “Men write about ideas and women write about their lives” which is something I heard as everything from a “why you should stop writing” to a breakup line when I was writing a lot of memoir-style content on the Internet in the 90s.

One of the things we talked about at Girls Write now was Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. I got the impression most of the girls in the room had never seen that episode of ST:TNG, but I used it to illustrate the importance of story as a way of communicating non-fictional and even non-narrative culture and ideas.

What we do as fans (regardless of gender) and what we are dismissed as doing because it’s supposedly-female is this incredibly cool, complicated thing where we’re able to move back and forth across the concrete and the abstract to delineate, criticize, and explode our world. It’s really cool.

TL;DR: Tumblr content matters, not in spite of who’s creating it, but because of who is creating it and how.

Dom & Sub is a body of illustrative work in digital media that attempts to humanize practitioners of BDSM and offer a representation of kinky sex that not only refutes negative stereotypes but informs the audience that sadomasochistic play is done best between happy, healthy, and consenting adults. I portrayed the couple in the work not only engaging in S&M play but also building a “scene” together and nurturing one another after the play has concluded; these are moments often left unconsidered or completely ignored in visual representations of S&M. I believe it’s important to see how kinky scenes are crafted with care, commitment to safety and enthusiastic consent in order to limit those times when sadomasochistic play is used to abuse or dehumanize other human beings. It is my hope that my audience will learn from the illustrations that sadomasochistic play is not always dark or scary, and that fellow ‘kinksters’ can enjoy tender representations of S&M that do not ridicule or pathologize them. I’ve designed the work to engage sadomasochistic imagery, material and theory with an ethical conscience.

YES YES YES

cute cute cute! <3

Yes good.

I like it.

And I know the artist knows what they’re talking about, because of that glass of water. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it depicted in BDSM art before! But the post-scene glass of water is A Thing. You get thirsty!

The only thing that could make me happier is if this series goes on to depict a bowl of M&Ms.

Ohhhhhhh yeeeeesssssss

Love this. Brilliant view of what BDSM relationships really involve.

Especially the glass of water xD

very impressed

I really like these. For reasons.

twogami:

if you do not feel comforted or empowered by queer headcanons, i’m sorry to hear that and i hope you can find inspiration elsewhere. but for many people- the majority of them queer themselves- headcanoning, interpreting, or depicting their favorite characters as queer is how they express themselves and find comfort and positivity in fandoms. and that is something that absolutely deserves to be respected and protected from people that would ruin it for them.

A little girl in my 4th grade class came up to me after recess and said, “I got married at recess!” and I said “Oh? I didn’t know anyone was ordained under the age of twelve.” and she asked me what ordained meant and I explained and then she said “Oh, well, no, my wife and I were married by the slide, but we’ll be happy together anyway.”

So apparently on school playgrounds, slides are already legalizing same-sex marriage.
