“I am outraged that we can’t kill people in other countries without them trying...”
– Michael Moore sardonically summarising the Western reaction to the London killing (via lifeisliterallylimited)
Woman: I'm smart
Patriarchy: Well you're probably ugly then
Woman: I'm creative
Patriarchy: You mean unattractive right?
Woman: I have all these incredible accomplishments
Patriarchy: Yeah but look how ugly you looked doing them
Woman: I have value
Patriarchy: Not if you're ugly lol
Woman: I'm conventionally-attractive & posted selfies on my blog
Patriarchy: I'm so sick of these empty-headed chicks only caring about their looks. Just because you are attractive and get attention from men doesn't mean you are special or deserve respect. Why don't you read a book or do something productive with your life you dumb slut
Do any of you guys know about any transitional...

If I ever tell you I’m going to sleep and then you see me posting or liking things online for about an hour immediately after that, I promise I wasn’t lying to you, I’m just bad at going to sleep and it is usually a long process that begins with disengaging from any sort of immediate contact with people (chats, for example) and ends when everything on my screen is blurry and...

Every part of me and my body is politicized My skin My hair My uterus My culture Loving myself and valuing my humanity, in a society that sees me as nothing more than a commodity, is an act of political resistance
And loving those like me is an act of political solidarity.

midnight—chronicles:
Don’t ask them “So, what did you do all day?” It sounds patronizing and makes them look lazy and like this is their fault. They don’t need that, and it might exacerbate whatever guilt they already feel for having a mental illness.
Don’t tell them however they choose to cope [sitting in their room, writing, reading, sleeping, etc] is wrong.

I wish that there was a socially acceptable way to say, “I’m having a bad mental health day and need you to pay attention to me,” without alienating everyone.

Nowhere in the 10 commandments does it say “Do Not Rape” yet the 5th Satanic Rule Of The Earth is “Do not make sexual advances unless given the mating signal.” Go ahead and just let that sink in.

Eight Ways to Spot Emotional Manipulation
hisnaughtygirl22:
There is no use in trying to be honest with an emotional manipulator. You make a statement and it will be turned around. Example: I am really angry that you forgot my birthday. Response - “It makes me feel sad that you would think I would forget your birthday, I should have told you of the great personal stress I am facing at the moment - but you see I didn’t want to trouble...

Your abuser DOES loves you. So what?
goldenphoenixgirl:
I get tired of people saying about abusers, “They obviously doesn’t love you or they wouldn’t abuse you.”
This is where victims often get confused. Because they recognize love from their partner. It may not fit the ideal standard or even be healthy love, but no one can tell you your partner doesn’t feel love towards you when they do.
He gave you the croutons off of his salad...
