Sundry Bloody Sundry: I Want to See a Fat Girl →
sundrybloodysundry:
I want to see a fat girl in a leading role of a film.
I want to see a fat girl in a leading role of a film that isn’t about her weight.
I want to see a fat girl wearing mini skirts or just whatever the fuck she’s comfortable in.
I want to see a fat girl kick some bad guy’s ass.
I want to see…

Su violenza, e violenza di genere.
La violenza e’ attuata e puo’ essere attuata da qualsiasi forma di vita nei confronti delle altre forme di vita. Penso sia innegabile che tutte ne sono capaci.
La violenza-di-genere invece si riferisce invece agli animali umani ed e’ attuata dagli uomini nei confronti di tutto quanto non sia uomo in quanto, appunto, non-uomo.
La mia lotta personale non e’ per sconfiggere...

Families
I feel like making this statement: blood bonds mean close to nothing to me. Chosen families are what I care for. I handpick my relatives, brothers, sisters, partners and lovers, and I consider it a huge deal when they choose me. Why yes, the keyword here is choice, choosing, being free from traditions and free of creating your own paradigms. So yeah, I love my family so much.

For the Men Who Still Don’t Get It
”What if all women were bigger and stronger than you? And thought they were smarter?
What if women were the ones who started wars?
What if too many of your friends had been raped by women wielding giant dildos and no K-Y Jelly?
What if the state trooper who pulled you over on the New Jersey Turnpike was a woman and carried a gun?
What if the ability to menstruate was the prerequisite...

This might be controversial, or simply disagreed on, but I still think it deserves to be shared. The author is a young Australian sports model and fitness professional named Natasha Hutchinson. Source: lovelylilthing:

After a stranger exposed himself to her on her trolley ride home from work last week, a 24-year-old Boston woman confronted her wrongdoer in exactly the righteous sort of way that most us only ever have the opportunity to rehearse angrily in front of a bathroom mirror — she forced him to his feet and shamed him in front of the other passengers right up until police came to haul him away.

The idea is that people die before they can break up. While loving someone forever is entirely possible, it is undemonstrable, like the opposite. I think that the limited amount of time available to humans make them commit to an idea of eternity that just doesn’t belong to them. In relative terms, humans eternity is, aptly, their own lifespan. But since in the grand scheme of things, where...

In a theology class, every time the male professor used “he” as the pronoun for god, we blew our whistles. It took about a week for these men to stop the...

Questo e’ un post parecchio personale, per cui ignorabilissimo. Scrivo in stato confusionale. Di ritorno dal pronto soccorso dove mi hanno messo un punto in testa e medicato il braccio dopo una rissa di strada con un pezzo di merda che un mese fa ha aperto la faccia a mio figlio con un pugno datogli proprio qui dentro casa, e stamattina lo apettava fuori da scuola. Lui mi ha ...

Questo e’ come la penso, e nasce da tutto il malessere per ieri, ma si e’ concretizzato proprio ora dopo aver letto l’articolo apparso su FaS, che non mi piace. Io ODIO la polizia. Odio quelli che per me sono fascisti anche quando non pensano di esserlo, altrimenti non diventano poliziotti. Ci saranno eccezioni, ma per ora non mi interessano. ODIO la polizia. Ecco, cosi”...

Becuase we are coming to get you. Incidentally, this is also dedicated to all those who keep asking me why I dislike Italy so much.

If someone calls you a slut, there’s nothing you can say to refute the claim because it never had any cognitive content anyway.
Even virginity is not a defense against alleged sluttiness. Virgins can...

The deserter (was: "as a feminist")
As a feminist, I wake up every morning with a pain in the back of my neck.
I wasn’t born like that, I wasn’t born a feminist. No one is.
In fact, we come to this world ready to be the opposite. And the training starts on day one.
Over the years, no one told me about that pain. I didn’t have it, I wasn’t supposed to, and no one really ever believes those who say they...
