Ultimately, the #YesAllWomen rallying cry reached more than 1 million tweets in the days since the tragedy, outlasting even Kim Kardashian’s wedding on Sunday. But women are not the only ones frustrated by our society’s institutionalized misogyny. So many men, too, reported feeling disgusted by the attitudes of the shooter and his alleged peers, the “men’s rights activists” that not only influenced Rodger, but publicly predicted more violence if men aren’t given what they want.
Men deserve their own space to talk back to these “activists.” Here is just a small part of that response, but you can find more responses or post your own on the hashtag #AllMenCan, because all men can have respect for women without ever becoming less of a man.
You’re called many names: The Crow, because death follows you like a familiar; Il Diavolo for your burning red eyes; assassino because you steal the life of men —
— but above all else, you are a Strider, and you will find the mutt who killed your brother and skewer him on your blade.
a totally unoriginal ac!AU wherein novice dave trains under bro (a master assassin) until one day, he finds bro dead in a pool of his own blood and a single black feather.
he dons the assassino garb and is joined on his journey by a blacksmith’s son [john], a sarcastic ex-courtesan [rose], and a hunter with some interesting gadgets and a wolf to match [jade].
dave soon finds out about the “sovereign slayer” and the dersite templar syndicate, but matters complicate quickly when it becomes apparent that the new empress [the condesce] worked with his brother’s killer to usurp the throne, and that john might be the legitimate heir to the kingdom of skaia.
A group called Connecticut Working Mom’s has put together an AMAZING photo spread called “Lets End The Mommy Wars”. The photo shoot was about embracing their different parenting choices.
“Let’s end the mommy wars, once and for all, by tapping into our compassion and letting go of our judgments. Cause seriously people, the world needs more love and less judgment.”
My dad needs feminism because he raised my brothers to respect women but he still has to be afraid for his daughter’s safety because not all fathers do.
I would like to give Planned Parenthood and their Teen Council forum 10/10 stars
idk about you all, but this made me cry and i know not all forms do this, this might be the only one, but knowing that at least one organization recognizes me as a person, doesn’t ask me to lie to fit their box, is one of the most calming and beautiful things to experience.
and i’m just waiting for the day when government forms use this, when schools ask for preferred pronouns, when everywhere has an other category for gender and pronouns.
we’re getting there, y’all. we’re demanding to be seen and it’s working
why do people say “don’t be a pussy” when talking about weakness more like “don’t be a man’s ego” because you know there isn’t nothing more fragile than that
uh
because “pussy” is the shortened form of the word “pusillanimous”, which means “timid, cowardly”
and not the slang word for the female genital region?
literally no one else knows this. nobody.
and because nobody knows this everyone is just going to think it means female genitals anyway so the message coming across is still the same and still problematic.
Well you did ask for specific so perhaps DirkHal with Hal getting to test out his new mouth on Dirk? Dirk did work so hard on it and Hal has no problem showing his appreciation. (Aka Hal sucking dick if you please)
