Dear opponents of equal marriage,

You know you sound like you might be gay when you say that equal marriage will be the end of the human race, right? I mean, the only way that would logically make sense is if everyone had deep-seated, irresistible romantic urges toward people of the same gender. It would only make sense if you assume truly straight couples are the minority. That if given the chance, most people would marry someone...

The Way I Visualize It

Humanism means not boxing people into categories. It’s never saying “you have trait A so you must B”. Sexism is saying that you must behave or look or speak or think or feel or love or fornicate or dress or move or live or work or play a certain way because of how certain parts of your body are arranged. Homophobia is an extension of sexism. Anti-sexists are often still...

I don’t really want to say much about this investigation except for the following: Western society is based on an innocent-until-proven-guilty system of justice. Assange should, presently, be considered innocent until a reasonable amount of evidence is brought to light. World governments have the motives to persuade the women making the allegations to push for prosecution even if they...

Anonymous asked: I am something like a man. Whenever I am in an intimate relationship with a woman, I feel the need to dominate intellectually. I need to know, and I need them to know, that I am more intelligent.

It's a big problem. And, while I don't want to trivialise my oppression, it makes me feel like shit too. These are intelligent, smart, wonderful people, and I keep attempting to...

Trigger warning

600 followers! Might as well celebrate by losing a few, eh? Here’s my confession (which long-time followers already know): I think rape jokes can be funny. Now, before I lose all of you, let me clarify: I will never post a rape joke on my blog, because I know it would be triggering for at least a followers; I would never introduce rape jokes in company of people I don’t know well; ...

feedmemangoes answered your question:Another question to my followers… where i live, its legal for women to bare their chests. and i’ve only seen it once. however, i do draw the line at genitals personally. cunthorse answered your question:Another question to my followers… I think exposure becomes harassment when people are forced/tricked into looking at genitals against their...

Another question to my followers...

When does exposure become harassment? To what degree should public nudity/exposure be permitted? I think at the very least the chests of both genders should be free to be exposed (or not) in public areas. Genitals are a different issue for hygiene purposes. Or are they? Should we be more comfortable with nudity in general? If someone (usually a man) exposes his genitals to someone else it’s...

Best answer here. (tl;dr: Recent studies seem to agree that it is a cultural identifier but one caused/originating from several sources) Most hilarious thread:

Two Day Sex Toy Sale →

So Early to Bed, my favorite local sex shop, has coupons and sales and what have you almost constantly. Since I get a percentage of sales that originate from links on my blog, it seems kind of skeezy of me to point out every one. However, they are outdoing themselves today and not only giving 20% all purchases, but also throwing in a free $12 mini bullet vibe, which could be used for any number...

Think of movies you’ve seen that have depicted human sexuality. Can you think of a positive depiction of both male and female masturbation? Can you think of a positive depiction of both male and female orgasm? Can you think of a positive depiction of both male and female use of sexual aids? Personally, it seems like most of the positive depictions of personal sexual enjoyment (not...

expecting-rain asked: I would first start out by mentioning how your posts always get me to stop my lighting-scrolling down my dash and read or look. Your blog highlights the plights that both men and women face due to gender discrimination and patriarchy, and I applaud the reblogged discussions about sexual equality in various nations.

With that in mind, I am a fan of Frontline's documentaries,...

Because pornography is such a complicated, controversial topic, i will share my personal definition of porn: Any images, recordings (visual and/or...

The Problem of Patriarchy

We talk about privilege and power afforded to men. We talk about men’s greater access to resources. We talk about men’s control over women. We talk about patriarchy. But we talk about it in a way that focuses on what men gain, and what men could lose if women achieved equality. Perhaps we need to shift this conversation though. What are men loosing, if anything, though their...

BRB FAVORITING EVERYTHING

It’s dumb, but being able to eat really spicy foods makes me feel sort of manly. Then of course I make myself sick and act like a wimp for three hours. So then not so much. My expressions of masculinity sure are heteronormative. Although, I guess the idea of masculinity is sort of inextricably linked to gender norms. I guess since I don’t really identify as strongly masculine, I...

Anonymous asked: "Let’s look at an entirely hypothetical situation that doesn’t actually exist. I have a friend, her name is Ann. Ann is very attractive. She wears short skirts, because they make her feel sexy, and she likes to feel sexy. She also has a new boyfriend every week. Now, Ann is not a slut. She is, in fact, a strong and sexually empowered young lady. Why?"

This is going to sound like a commercial, but I’ve felt really manly since I’ve recently switched out regular soap and shampoo for Dr. Bronner’s castile soap. It leaves behind much of my skin and hair’s natural oils (so much so that there was a few greasy-feeling days where my body had to adjust). It leaves my skin more flexible-feeling, and my hair is incredibly soft. More...
