rosalarian:

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

Oh my god, oh my god this this this this!!! My time bomb only has about a 33% chance of going off based on family history… it’s still scary as fuck.

Knowing Coves: The Racist Myth of MSG and 'Chinese Restaurant Syndrome'

Knowing Coves: The Racist Myth of MSG and 'Chinese Restaurant Syndrome':

zuky:

This is the story of a racist myth that began with a light-hearted letter to the New England Journal of Medicine in 1968 and subsequently exploded in North American culture — in direct opposition to every shred of scientific evidence — becoming so prevalent that credulous eaters buy into it to…

This is really interesting (and depressing.) Its amazing how much racism just passes quietly through my everyday existence… had it not been for this article, I never would have even considered delving into what MSG is, why we think its bad for us, if it actually is bad for us…

What is wrong with Doctor Who?

What is wrong with Doctor Who?:

I thought it was time to give some thought to what the Doctor-assistant relationship is, what function the assistant has on the show, how Doctor Who distributes personal qualities by gender, and why I now hate this lovely show that I used to love.

Damn, this rings true and it breaks my (1) heart.

“[in Moffat’s Who] the woman is not of interest for her character or her abilities, but for some fundamental mystery in her being. The mystery isn’t even a secret she’s keeping, something over which she has control- it’s something she does not know about, that the Doctor must puzzle out in his own mind. It’s not about her- it’s about what’s wrong with her. When Steven Moffat took over Doctor Who, women became a problem.”

I love this article.

“I can’t imagine Matt Smith’s Doctor loving someone any more than I can imagine Steven Moffat having done something to deserve access to clean air and water”

“I think with RTD vs. Moffat, it’s like the difference between someone who has just never really thought about how sexist he is vs. someone who doesn’t give a fuck because he’s certain all women *are* like this. All of RTDs women are capable of saving the world, and often do, entirely on their own steam; its the in-between moments where he makes them excitable about weddings and how cute David Tennant is. For Moffat women, the weddings and attractive Doctor are the point; saving the universe is just a distraction.”

“Under Moffat’s watch the Doctor has morphed from an alien who loves humans and feels their pain and experiences love and desire and empathy to a stunted, child-like and extremely bloody irritating space-goon who flaps about like an injured moth when other people’s emotions are making him uncomfortable. And makes sexist jokes about how women are scary. And wants his married companions to sleep in bunk beds. And can save human lives but does not seem to understand human feelings. Who would travel with this man? He might be zany and charming and have nice boots, but he is fundamentally cold and unrelatable.”

This is the (super eloquently stated) reason for SO MUCH of my recent frustration with this show that I came into loving SO MUCH that certain episodes could easily make me sob. Now? Meh.

Life Returned: An Open Letter to Eve Ensler:

chiefelk:

Dear Eve Ensler,

I want to start off by saying thank you. I appreciate the time you took to reach out to me, because I know you’re incredibly busy. I know there are much more important people in this world than myself, so I appreciate you engaging in dialogue with me and my colleague Kelleigh…

This is beautifully written and so necessary… thank you.

nothatsstupid:

“One male poet approached me after a performance and said, “I don’t mean to be rude, but do you ever write about anything other than the struggles of women?” I replied, “I don’t mean to be rude, but take your finger off the trigger and I’ll stop.” After all, who among us ever wanted to speak about these things? What little girl dreams of growing up to write ‘rape poems?’ About violence? About the muffled voices of women worldwide?” -Andrea Gibson

No one ever asks men why they write books, movies, games, TV shows, laws, text books, entire genres of media (games) without any female input or any females at all. It’s only a problem when women do it.

“In fact, in recent years I have become more and more didactic about pubic hair - to the point where I now believe that there are only four things a grown, modern woman should have: a pair of yellow shoes (they unexpectedly go with everything), a friend who will come and post bail at 4am, a failsafe pie recipe, and a proper muff. A big hairy minge. A lovely furry moof that looks - when she sits, naked - as if she has a marmoset sitting in her lap. A tame marmoset, that she can send off to pickpocket things, should she so need it - like that trained monkey in Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

White women CAN NOT be womanists. You all have feminism, radical feminism, etc.—all your own movements where WOC are not included.

Womanism was created by WOC FOR WOC ONLY.

Quit sticking your asses fucking everywhere and stick to your own shit.

And any WOC that needs to “allow” white women to call themselves womanists need to fucking check themselves before they can speak for all WOC because hell fucking no would I want a white woman in OUR movement.

I am so annoyed I made a run on sentence.

I am white. I’ve been annoyed at Feminism for a while about how exclusionary and downright refusing-to-listen the movement as a whole is when it comes to people of color, and people with disabilities, and so on. And I think it is important that I stay a feminist - because instead of fleeing something imperfect and jumping on something that’s not for me (which hurts the very people whose lives and feelings I am seeking to protect in distancing myself from feminism), I’d rather eat at it from the inside. I am feminist cancer. Enjoy.

You are the first and only white feminist who makes sense in this thread.

I keep getting white women calling womanism ignorant and exclusionary and overall huffing and puffing just because they aren’t included. As predicted. This is why I feel justified in my feelings of why they shouldn’t be included since they have no idea womanism is and don’t realize it’s in response to feminism.

That’s a real fail on your part, white feminists, for only ONE to actually make some damn sense in fixing their movement rather than feeling entitled to move into another group of women’s movement.

I just want to second the white feminist in this post. As a white feminist, I know that it is my responsibility to change the feminist movement to be more intersectional when it comes to many things, especially race. It is NOT my place to appropriate a movement of, by, and for women of color.

OMG Trav and I just watched that one the other night! He keeps playing the video of the kid talking when its dark & I’m not paying attention… its pure EVIL. That episode was almost too scary for me to watch……

Exactly. I feel the same way… though the voices still creep me out, even after having seen the end. Are you watching in order too? We just got to Season 2!
