- Man: I had my heart broken once by a girl who friendzoned me, so now I hate women. It's not my fault, they're just cold-hearted and stupid.
- Mens Rights Activists: I don't see a problem with this.
- Woman: I say I hate men because I've been physically/sexually abused, harassed on the street, made to feel inferior or have experienced domestic violence, and have had the weight of an entire social system of oppression forced on me since birth.
- Mens Rights Activist: You're a fucking sexist! Not all men are like that! Why do you hate equality? You're a bad person! Get back in the kitchen! Fucking women.

Abortion seems to be the only medical procedure that people want to deny you based on how you got in that situation.
Drove drunk, got in an accident and need an organ transplant? No problem.
Messing around with a gun, accidentally shoot yourself in the leg and need surgery? Of course.
Smoke tobacco for most of your life and need treatment for lung cancer? Yep.
Climb a tree, fall out and break your leg? We’ll fix that right up.
Have sex and get pregnant when you don’t want to be? YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS SITUATION AND YOU DESERVE NO MEDICAL HELP OR COMPASSION! THIS IS YOUR FAULT AND YOU WILL DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!

“It’s deplorable that sexually adventurous young women are constantly told they are “degrading themselves” by seeking out various experiences, that every bit of enjoyment eats away at some secret store of purity. This whole tradition–the idea that women need be preserved in glass so as not to “ruin” themselves, lest they diminish their sexual value by “giving it away”–restricts the lived autonomy of women in ways I can’t even begin to articulate. None of the slut-shaming makes sense unless you assume women live to give themselves to men in their purest possible form.”

if you find something wrong with 13-14 year old girls wearing short shorts and short dresses, that’s YOUR problem because you’re applying sexualization TO CHILDREN
get the fuck out of my face with your creepy bullshit
man scrolling through tumblr sees a feminist rant about hating men
plot twist: the man thinks, ah, she is simply expressing her frustration as a member of an oppressed group, whilst hating the construction of masculinity that was designed to keep her down, not necessarily all individual men such as myself…this is absolutely not the same thing as sexism and not a personal attack on me *keeps scrolling*

almost everyone seems to know someone who has been raped but no one seems to know rapists
why?
because rapists are rarely held fucking accountable and therefore go undetected
because if you know them, they aren’t considered “rapists” they are considered…
me: *sigh* i wish i lived in the 50s
suddenly i am thrust 60s years before 2013 into 1953 and watch as my rights practically slip right out of my hands and i am forced to live in an even more war-obsessed, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist society
but at least i have bettie page bangs and a poodle skirt
literally this post.
it’s funny how when a white person decides to learn a foreign language and move to another country, he’s lauded for his sense of adventure, multiculturalism, appreciation of diversity and god knows what else
but when a person of colour does the same thing it’s all “fucking immigrants stop stealing our jobs go back to ur own country!111!!!”
Scientific Inqueery: Why sexism can't exist against men and racism can't exist against whites (in our society) →

Sexism and racism are institutionalized, systemic discrimination against groups of people. Discrimination against men and discrimination against whites can exist in individual spheres, but do not truly exist institutionally. That is why “misandry” doesn’t exist. It can effectively exist in the form of a woman who hates men simply for being men, but don’t call it misandry. Call it man-hating if you will. But as this article so brilliantly puts it,
“Misandry (a hatred of men) is absolutely a real thing in the same way that paper cuts are a real thing. But to balance a discussion of misogyny with a retort about misandry is to bring paper cuts into a discussion about gun control.”
Similarly, as another person put it,
“Being called whitey means your feelings are hurt for about five minutes and then forgetting about it. Because in the end, being Whitey has never ever systematically stopped you from anything, has never hindered your life simply because you were white in the same way being a person of color dictates how your life is different than a white person’s.”
