westerners/outsiders are asking the wrong question
healingsakina:
asking: what made “them” (the egyptian people) decide to protest now? why did they tolerate things for so long?
implication: “they” deserved what they had because they weren’t saying anything against it until now.

In regards to BDSM
taniada:
et-tu-dionysus:
girl-non-grata:
It burns me up when some people imply kink is purely exploitative of women. With a sane partner, a submissive is asked what are her “limits” and those boundaries are always respected; she chooses a word she can say at any time and no matter what play stops. How many vanilla women have to put their foot down for that kind of respect? When you’re...

could someone explain to me how invalidating someone’s argument on the basis of them being “privileged” is not an ad hominem fallacy?
I think this confusion arises from the poor definition of ‘privileged’ most people (especially the more privileged) are working with. While a part of it is indeed the way that society bestows privileges...

we don’t live in a vacuum. our ideas, our lexicon, and our beliefs are shaped by outside forces like society, culture, environment, and religion. fields like sociology, anthropology, and sociology prove that.

Fuck Yeah Trans Fats
zerofailure:
I really wasn’t expecting that much of a following so quickly on the blog. I thought maybe we’d get 20 followers within a week. Maybe there is a place within both the body positive/fat positive community and the trans community for a blog like this. Turns out I was way off.
The blog has been running for only 5 hours or so with 6 posts and 31 followers. I think it’s safe to say that...

Transphobia is Sexism
genderbitch:

glitterbombing:
This is actually a supercool idea. Here’s a quick rundown:
Sexism is the structure of gender norms and their policing.
Functions of gender norms include body policing and body norms (body type, skin color, weight, height, voice, fat distribution, hair color, hair distribution, genital type).
One aspect of gender norms is gender essentialism (the...
