At the very heart of sexist thought is the assumption that the bodies we are born with ought to dictate our character, our behaviour, our appearance, our choices, the nature of our relationships and the work of our lives. At the very heart of feminism is the still-radical notion that this is not the case. Feminism holds that gender identity, rather than being written in our genes, is an emotional, personal and sexual state of being that can be expressed in myriad different ways that encompass and extend beyond the binary categories of ‘man’ and woman’. Feminism holds that prescribed gender roles are a tyranny that no-one - whether trans, cis, male, female or intersex - should be forced to conform to in order to prove their identity, their validity or their human worth. ― Penny Red: No Feminism Without Trans Feminism (via gauntlet)

OVARIES. LEAVE ME ALONE. I AM PERMANENTLY IGNORING YOU.  via Rhino from BOLT My boyfriend compared me to this hamster this evening.

Psst! Do you want to know what the solution to everything is?
reblog for truth.  My dog is sitting on my shoulder, so he can look over the back of the couch. So that no one sneaks up on us. Or something. Feminism needs to give the public a good reason to sit up and realise that there’s more to it than a puffed-up sense of vegan self-righteousness. We have reached a stage where a majority of women do not associate a fight for gender equality with their daily lives. Now, when we’re talking of gender inequality, it comes down to the persistent and seemingly immovable notions as to what is “male” and what is “female”. And this is where the feminists should willingly accept the help of men. The time has come and gone for games of “she who shouts loudest wins” and the ghastly rhetoric of “having it all”. We need a seismic shift in how we perceive gender roles, something that cannot come from enfranchising the female of the species alone. Yet now that some young men are finally saying this very thing, feminists have refused to listen. ― Jennie Agg: Men’s groups are fine by me, sister (via gauntlet)

This is my boyfriends tumblr. He always feels the need to show me his follower count, cause I have less of them. Someday, I will win this battle. Also, he’s been at this since 2007, I have only been on tumblr 10 months and I’m only about twenty people behind him. Themed by Shiftcomma3 |
