seven of cups
Ask me anything   Kitty. 27 year old British, Literature student. Pisces (Leo moon, Aquarius rising), Hufflepuff, INFP. I love books, video games, manga & anime, and knitting. This tumblr will mostly contain activism (feminism, fat acceptance, sex positivity), geekery (Sailor Moon, Mass Effect, Jane Austen, Harry Potter etc) and cuteness (kittens!). I have a cat called Milo and a kitten called Hugo. I co-mod rawwomen (a body-positivity tumblr) and Fuck Yeah Romola Garai.

"A woman’s worst nightmare? That’s pretty easy. Novelist Margaret Atwood writes that when she asked a male friend why men feel threatened by women, he answered, “They are afraid women will laugh at them.” When she asked a group of women why they feel threatened by men, they said, “We’re afraid of being killed."

This reminds me of a discussion we had in school, and one girl was talking about living in fear of her safety because she is a girl, and this guy chimed in and was all “It’s hard for guys too! I’m so awkward around girls! It’s embarrassing!” Yeah, not the same thing, exactly?

This reminds me of an article about online (heterosexual) dating that I read a while ago. It listed men’s and women’s worst fears about meeting someone from online. The highest ranked fear that men had was that their date would be fat, whereas the highest ranked fear that women had was that their date would turn out to be violent and kill them. 

I think that says a lot.
