You know what, fuck this post. Maybe women wouldn’t feel the need to other themselves if so many enjoyable, genderless activities weren’t so heavily gendered to begin with. Do you know why a woman would feel the need to say, “Yes, I’m a girl and I play video games”? It’s because she or other women she knows have had their hobbies and interests invalidated based solely upon their gender. So much of this leads to woman internalizing this casual sexism, which is the most insidious part of the whole thing. Girls strive to differenciate themselves from being “girls”. ‘Yes I’m a girl, but I’m not like those OTHER girls. I’m cool, because I like guy things.’ So why do women other themselves this way? Why do they form little groups on Facebook for their interests, explicitly announcing that despite the hurdle of being a woman, they’ve overcome and somehow gotten to enjoy this activity? Because “girl” has become shorthand for “shitty” on such a grand scale that it’s embarrassing. Feminine is embarrassing. Feminine is weak. Feminine doesn’t play Counter Strike or enjoy stupid wrestling or burp loudly in public because it’s funny. Both men and women write off a girl as trying to be a special snowflake for being proud of belching in public, but here is the sad truth: belch in public as a girl and you get flack for it. You get surprise. Distaste. Most likely you get admiration from male friends, because you did something as gross and masculine as release noisy air from your dumb food hole, but are still so adorable! It becomes a badge of honor; you’re one of the cool girls who is like a guy. You internalize it. It becomes identity.
When I worked at a comic book shop from the time I was 16 until I turned 22, due to the fact that I FUCKING LOVE COMICS, I would answer the phone and have customers ask me if there were a man there that could answer his comic book questions. This was not an isolated incident. This happened monthly, sometimes weekly. I had boys sit at my counter and make eyes at my stupid pubescent face while telling me how gosh, I wasn’t like other girls. I liked comics and games and could eat a whole package of jerky myself.
That is a huge steaming pile of turds.
Girls are funny and gross and awful and beautiful and ugly and just as diverse as any group of young men. Also? They’re marginalized, fucking fight me on it.
I love video games and I have a vagina, I don’t feel the need to announce this over the head set, no. But you know what? Fuck the people judging girls trying to feel even slightly empowered doing the things pictured above if they feel like it. I’ll bet half of them are women themselves, trying to ‘outbro’ each other. “Vagina award for doing things everyone else does” Fuck you, girls get so much shit for this kind of stuff it’s not even funny. Alluding to things being equal is bullshit.
internalized misogyny, yo

How much does Saudi Arabia hate women? So much so that 15 girls died in a school fire in Mecca in 2002, after “morality police” barred them from fleeing the burning building — and kept firefighters from rescuing them — because the girls were not wearing headscarves and cloaks required in public. And nothing happened. No one was put on trial. Parents were silenced.

Houston judge Lanny Moriarty • On his decision to sentence a 17-year-old honor student, who (since her parents divorced and both skipped town) has had to work both a full and a part time job just to support two siblings, to spend a day in jail, after she missed school recently. Diane Tran, who also takes dual-credit college-level courses, says that she’s often so tired that she finds it difficult to wake up for school. But that didn’t sway Moriarty, who chose to make an example of Tran. If you think this sucks, we direct you to this Change.org petition. (via shortformblog)
Trying to live up to the name ‘Moriarty’, I suppose?

Whenever I go into work, these are the songs I cue up on the jukebox (which, isn’t that the coolest, ever?) and they play a few times during my shift. I hope you enjoy them like I do.

◅ Quinn Fabray ✖ Awake
Dr. John Lee: So, tell me how this works.
Quinn: I’m awake and I’m with Rachel. Then I close my eyes, and when I open them, I’m awake and she’s with him.
Dr. Judith Evans: And this has been happening since the accident?
Dr. John Lee: Tell me about your relationship with Rachel.
Quinn: We’ve been together since she confessed her feelings for me at the hospital.
Dr. Judith Evans: And your relationship with Rachel Berry?
Quinn: She went through with the wedding. She’s married to Finn now.
Dr. John Lee: So you can obviously walk here - in reality - and then suddenly, you’re paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, there, in your dream?
Quinn: It all feels completely real to me.
Dr. John Lee: So you can’t tell whether you’re awake or asleep at this very moment?
Dr. Judith Evans: Well I can assure you, Quinn, this is not a dream.
Quinn: That’s exactly what the other shrink said.
