Chances are that when you, a privileged person in a certain way, think that an oppressed person in said way is “overreacting,” it’s a flashing neon sign that you sit down, check your privilege, and shut the fuck up.

Long before technology was developed to predict the weather, people had to rely on observation, patterns and folk lore to avoid being caught off guard by the elements. If your plans, livelihood or even your survival depend on the weather, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to become familiar with…

What happened to all the nice guys?
The answer is simple: you did.
See, if you think back, really hard, you might vaguely remember a Platonic guy pal who always seemed to want to spend time with you. He’d tag along with you when you went shopping, stop by your place for a movie when you were lonely but didn’t feel...
"Calling people out is easy"
feministslut:
If calling people out on their sexist/heterosexist/racist/classist/cissexist/etc. bullshit is easy for you, great! I am incredibly happy for you and so glad you can easily call people out. I recommend checking your privilege if you think it is easy for everyone to call people out on their shit. It is not easy for everyone and some people cannot call people out on their shit....

dr-clear-heels:
Sex work in itself is not inherently anti-feminist. What is sexist about strip clubs, pornography and other commercial avenues of sex is the fact that our society has normalized the open expression of men’s sexual desire and not that of women.
Women’s equality goes beyond legal rights and equality in employment; it extends into healthy expressions of sexuality that are not...

no, we cannot.
gender is a real identity marker, and some people have to FIGHT (some people have DIED) trying to preserve or be allowed to have their gender identity.
like “color blind” ideas, a “world without gender” is actually another form of hate, another form of violence against those who you are silencing when you say “gender doesn’t...
A Curious Fancy: Inspiration: Ballet Shoes →
curiousfancy:
Like I have mentioned before, children’s book illustrations are one of my biggest inspirations. A lot of the books I grew up with were from the 30s and 40s with period illustrations. When it comes to dressing, I am inextricably drawn to this period. A while ago, one of the set texts for my…
Ohhh, Ballet Shoes is one of my childhood favourites. What beautiful illustrations!...
