fuck yeah sex education: Ways Gender-Privileged... →
meeca:
(This list will be forever in-progress. Please add on as you see fit).
Challenge sexist jokes, such as dumb blonde jokes or jokes about rape.
Avoid using words such as “bitch”, “hoe”, “slut.”
Recognize when you “zone out” when women are speaking, when you value a man’s opinion…

Take offense to me making fun of Ron all you want because you think you can relate
Unless you’ve ever tried to make a friend feel bad about the fact that their parents are dead
You are not as bad as Ron
So here’s where I’d mention the horcrux (like others probably have) and say, “Oh, the piece of Voldemort’s soul made him super terrible.”
But...

Let's say you have a roommate.
shlabam:
You’re friends with this roommate. He’s a cool guy. He’s such a cool guy, that one day, he buys a vacuum cleaner for your place.
It’s a very functional vacuum cleaner. It gets the job done. You and your housemates love it. And it was a really cool thing for your roommate to do, to buy this vacuum cleaner for the house to use. Everyone uses it regularly for years.
Then, one day, you...

A girl super-complimented it after you left.
RAD RAD RAD. Did she talk about the perspective on the right leg or any of the “technical” shit or did she just like the colors? Because I’m super proud of that perspective, dang.

“I swear to god I will lose my mind if I hear the “sex sells” fallacy one more...”
– (via littlelightx)
Yes.
(via psdo)
Oooh and even worse is that female sexuality is only (largely) accepted when it’s through a male lens; that is, a woman being sexual is only accepted when a guy can also get off.

I haven’t seen the video, but the idea that Nerd Life is better, I think, means that having an active curiosity, and seeking to understand the world around you, is the best way to live. It’s about a mindset, not a culture. I don’t now.
The active curiosity and desire to understand the world I like. The “I am...

I’d say there’s actually a fair amount of belief of hierarchy among nerdfighters. I repeatedly see GIF sets of John Green deriding or insulting people who are stupid or have stupid hobbies. It’s just hard to have a movement built around being nice.

mitchcorvus asked: John Green isn't all that bad you know, “…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like,...
