I like football, but also I don’t?
“When I remember that somewhere a white woman is suffering, the plight of my people does not seem so bad.”
Does anyone know the pain of the ivory princess, the bourgeois feminist?
THIS THE FUCKING BEST THING EVER.

This? Just fucking pisses me off.
You wanna get mad about the people who whine about their internet being slow, or the people who type out “FML” because they got a stain on their shoe? Fine.
But suffering?
No. If someone is unemployed, out on the street, dying of cancer, watching their kids get bullied at school, wondering where their next meal is coming from, dealing with a friends’ suicide, being threatened with sexual assault or coercion, or just dealing with the trials of being *human*, you don’t get to say it’s no big deal just because their skin is white, or black, or red, or whatever.
I get that this is supposed to be funny. And even that “suffering” is supposed to be sarcastic, but just the idea that the significance of somebody’s problems ties into their *race* instead of what the problem actually is… disturbs me.
Historically, yes. White women in general never had it as bad in the the course of US history as the Seminoles, the Cherokee, and their fellow tribes-people, but when you encourage people to *continue* thinking in terms of people’s skin tone being related to their significance, you’re still perpetuating the problem even if you’re just reversing the group it’s directed towards.
Normally, I try not to get into political stuff on my blog, but this one just bubbled up too many feelings for me to pass it over.
Yes, someone who agrees with me! We really need stop including race as someone’s general identity in the first place, what does it matter if they’re black or asian or white etc.?
… HAHAHAHAHA gurl please.
lol i love you so much, di.
“Dude just told his dead dad to suck it.”
Anyone who thinks Jeff’s speech to Pierce’s dad was superior to this one can also suck it.
I always wanted the reboot of Ghostbusters to be four girl-ghostbusters. Like, four normal, plucky women living in New York City searching for Mr. Right and trying to find jobs - but who also bust ghosts. I’m not an idiot, though. I know the demographic for Ghostbusters is teenage boys, and I know they would kill themselves if two ghostbusters had a makeover at Sephora. I just have always wanted to see a cool girl having her first kiss with a guy she’s had a crush on, and then have to excuse herself to go trap the pissed-off ghosts of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire or something. In my imagination, I am, of course, one of the ghostbusters, with the likes of say, Emily Blunt, Taraji Henson, and Natalie Portman. Even if I’m not the ringleader, I’m definitely the one who gets to say “I ain’t afraid of no ghost.” At least the first time.

Steven Moffat Explains Why He’s So Bad At Writing Women
“There’s this issue you’re not allowed to discuss: that women are needy. Men can go for longer, more happily, without women. That’s the truth. We don’t, as little boys, play at being married - we try to avoid it for as long as possible. Meanwhile women are out there hunting for husbands. The world is vastly counted in favour of men at every level - except if you live in a civilised country and you’re sort of educated and middle-class, because then you’re almost certainly junior in your relationship and in a state of permanent, crippled apology. Your preferences are routinely mocked. There’s a huge, unfortunate lack of respect for anything male.”
