From the email I received “A bit of context: Its from a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu page. The comments were in response to a picture alluding to a couple who trained BJJ together (the “true that” comment is in agreement with the pic). Marcel’s last comment in particular really shat me. Its this kind of crap that puts women off.”

So in texts, this guy explained he was finding himself both “falling for me” and how he thinks he is starting to “think of [me] as only a body.” (YES….. both make sense together!) He expected me to sympathize and be fine with this, plus “remain friends from afar” without seeing each other in person. (Like somehow that would make him see me as more of a person and respect me???? completely logical, right?) After I got mad we texted a bit more and he added this gem…..

I actually did not say what he (white text) claimed I did….. It feel it’s sexist to impose any standards for what a man/woman/(or nonbinary person) wants to do with their life. That’s just not a path I’m seeing as my life role. I had told this guy I’m personally not reaching for traditional roles because trying to fulfill them would be acting from me and not genuine… I find it infuriating for him to pity me because I’m not a traditional woman though. He kept telling me he was not being judgmental, yet he brought all this up despite many times before I told him I was not interested in dating. How is my lifetime even relevant to him?  BIGGEST LOL: He still wanted to be “friends” too!

A guy I thought was cool ‘liked’ this pic on facebook.

andrewscottinmypants asked: I know this isn't much to do with fb. But...I have a friend who calls himself 'Guitar Rapist' or something, on twitter and keeps saying how girls are evil and all the same and deserve bad things, on fb. He also implied that he would like to rape my friend and that he wants to make a porn movie with her - he wants to be a porn star. It disgusts me. Plus, and this is good, he is the /head boy/. I know my school is stupid, but /really/? He beats people up and scares girls. And he's head boy.

WHY is he your friend? This is terrifying. Honestly, I would screen cap that stuff and send it anonymously to your school administration. 

gildahmesh asked: The best voted answer to that yahoo ask was (and I quote) "They're just doing what today's TV shows and magazines tell them to do, dress like a self loving slut and neglect anything with a penis. Women are like a garbage disposal, they'll suck up anything." WHAT.

UGH.

i saw this on facebook and this girl commented on it:

just

(“you” here being that commenter.)

i love how 

1. it’s 2013 and this is still deemed acceptable and not only that but funny
2. no one has learned anything from the recent incurrent of sexism surrounding angelina jolie’s double mastectomy

except for, i fucking don’t. 

This friend-of-a-friend just got so upset by a piece of graffiti asking him to stop engaging in behaviour that other people find harmful that he wrote an essay about how it’s “repressing sexuality” or something in a status update. I had to zoom right out just to get most of it (there are three more paragraphs below this one). I’d make the point that if you’re more willing to write a 2000 word post about why you’re reluctant to make a tiny change to your behaviour at someone’s request than you are to actually change said behaviour, then you don’t really respect the person who made that request at all, but I’m tired and I have a headache and this is the third post in this vein of “I’m not sexist, I’ve been to university” garbage from men on my news feed that I’ve had to scroll past this week. It’s only Tuesday. Why.

Get it????? It’s so funny and omg hilar because people don’t like Bieber so they use “HER” as his pronoun. HERs really DO suck, don’t they??!

“What’s a higher compliment than being valued as good enough for a man’s penis?”

“Remember, there’s nothing more important than being a hot chick!”

Did he really just say that?

(PS awesome [new?] blog alert, right here!)

I’m—I’m lost for words.

Are you a girl on the internet—THEN YOU SHOULD EXPECT TO BE TREATED LIKE SHIT. 

SO OLD. STILL NOT FUNNY.

turbulentbeauty:

I invite it’s SPAM, but it’s still disgusting to get this email. A human composed it.

Your daily dose of rape culture.
