My dog understands the word “No,” so how are you going to tell me teenage boys don’t know the difference between rape and consent?
“It’s the disconnect of being trained since birth to look a certain way, only to have dudes turn around and go, “Don’t you know we hate all that stuff on your face?” Like it was our idea! Like women collectively woke up one day and thought, “Wouldn’t it be awesome to slap a bunch of chemicals and dyes on our faces every morning from now on?”
We’ve got a multi-billion dollar industry doing their best to remind us daily that we need what they’re selling, so don’t act all befuddled about where we got the idea that we looked better this way. Plus, it’s not like men don’t still expect us to look beautiful. They just don’t want us cheating with cosmetics. Hope your face is naturally flawless!
And while we’re talking, don’t you ladies know how annoying it is that you’re all hung up on your weight? Sure, we expect you to have a great body. But don’t be one of those lame girls who orders salads on a date. We like to see you eat!
Most of the time, when men say they prefer “natural beauty,” they don’t mean that they’re ready for us to start leaving the house the way we roll out of bed in the morning. They mean that they want us to look perfect without appearing to try.
Basically, it’s a trap.” —

There is just a special layer of hell where you get a “suggested products you may enjoy” e-mail from Amazon and it’s your own stolen artwork.
Guys, please, PLEASE if you ever see the “Doctor Hoo” painting for sale ANYWHERE except for these websites

it is a bootleg and it is stolen. I’m still paying off my student loans so I don’t exactly have much money to spare, so it would really mean a lot to me if you only ever purchase things directly from me or the websites I officially sell through.
“I think there needs to be some male pill version of birth control. ‘Cause right now we’re giving women bullet proof vests, but we should maybe think about how we can take the bullet out of the gun.”

"You're pretty good at _______ for a woman."
I need feminism because once, after giving detailed highway directions to another woman, she replied: “Wow, you’re pretty good at directions, for a woman.” When misogyny is so ingrained into society that other women find it appropriate to use phrases like this, social change is necessary.
This is one of my pet peeves.
When you’re watching a new episode of your favorite show and someone tries to get you to do something:
That is so accurate that’s it’s scary.
“Taste isn’t everything. I’ve seen too many happy relationships in which the two parties liked different music — or voted for different politicians, or rooted for different sports teams — for me to declare anyone incompatible based on cultural preferences. As important as all of that stuff can be (which is to say: important), it’s got a lot less to do with happiness than how well he or she treats other people, how happy and secure you feel in the relationship, and the ease with which the two of you can hold a conversation. It’s great to never have to fight over the car stereo, but if the person you’re with makes you feel rotten about yourself, what’s the use?”

Shit’s going down. Read it and spread it, people.
hey what if someone invented a machine that allowed women to transfer their pregnancies to men and then the government passed a law that if a woman didn’t want to have a baby the biological father was required to carry it how fast do you think birth control would stop being an issue
