New Year's Resolutions
quizzical-frisson: litterthisheart: 1. Shoot a gun 2. Go on a date 3. Procrastinate less 4. Get straight As Annnnd, that’s all I can think of right now. (If resolutions one and two are combined, that is A-ok with me. Just saying.) If you want to combine 1 and 2 then maybe you should date Ann Coulter, just sayin’. EW. EW. EWWW. NO. I was actually thinking Rachel Maddow when I wrote...

Movies and things I promised people I would watch:
1. The Fall 2. Pan’s Labyrinth 3. Firefly 4. Avatar: The Last Airbender 5. The Matrix I keep putting them all off, though, because it feels like too much pressure. And movies feel like a commitment. Two hours is longer than my attention span when the internet is running in the background. :/ I am a product of my generation.

THING THAT ENRAGES ME
thecurvature: Cis men dismissing full-body scanners as no big deal, because the worst that can happen is “some random stranger noting that I’m probably carrying around ten post-holiday extra pounds than I should be.” It must be really pleasant being privileged enough to live without the constant, not unjustified fear of sexual assault, harassment, and exploitation just because you’re a...

Homosociality
Homosociality (as explained so well in Michael Kimmel’s Manhood in America) is the principle that all men are raised in our culture to be more eager to please other men than women. One of the most significant difficulties (and opportunities) about pro-feminist men’s work is that it challenges homosocial norms. Pro-feminist men are often characterized as “wimps” — soft, gentle men with submissive...

Yes is a risk worth taking
Well, you are about to start the greatest improvisation of all. With no script. No idea what’s going to happen, often with people and places you have never seen before. And you are not in control. So say “yes.” And if you’re lucky, you’ll find people who will say “yes” back. Now will saying “yes” get you in trouble at times? Will saying...

13-Year-Old Girl Commits Suicide After Classmates... →
“And while everyone sure as hell seems to be worried about What! We’re! Teaching! Our! Girls! that they send the photographs, no one seems to be saying a goddamn peep about what we’re teaching our boys when they think that non-consensual sexual conduct is okay. Yet again, apparently consensual female sexuality is seen as a bigger threat to society — and to girls themselves — than non-consensual...

Your Annual Guide To Holiday Romance
johncarney: 44. Avoid any girl who tries to come off as more emotionally unavailable and cavalier about relationships than you are. She’s secretly a tightly wound bundle of need. Oh. Um. This is maybe a little bit true. The rest of this list, however, is completely offensive.
