SEE WHAT THEY DO TO YOU? ALWAYS MAKE YOU FEEL ONE STEP BEHIND. ALWAYS STRIVING FOR SOME FABRICATED IDEA OF PERFECTION CONCOCTED BY THOSE WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR INHERENT WORTH.
DON’T. BELIEVE. THEIR. BULLSHIT.
YOUR SELF-LOATHING IS THEIR PAYCHECK.
YOUR SELF-HATRED IS THEIR CHRISTMAS BONUS.
YOUR FEAR IS THEIR SUMMER HOUSE IN THE HAMPTONS.
YOU’RE WORTH SO SO SO MUCH INFINITELY MORE THAN THIS JUNK.
I was originally going to post this as a link, but it auto-uploaded the photo from the article - the one the victim posted of herself after the attack. I added trigger warnings to the original post, but I thought about it, and really, it’s a tough photo to look at and not one I’d want popping up in my newsfeed. So I made it a text post. Article is here.
TRIGGER WARNING: assault, abuse, violence
From the article:
The student, who is female, has been actively involved in an opposition to tonight’s Men’s Issues Awareness Society (MIAS) talk. She claims to have received multiple threatening emails related to her involvement prior to the incident.
It’s unclear if the student knew the attacker; however, the attacker was male and knew the victim’s name, according to a source, who has requested to remain anonymous for safety reasons.
…
She posted a photo of injuries on Facebook following the incident, showing her chipped tooth and bruised face.
“How’s this for a ‘no makeup selfie’?,” the post read.
“I was punched in the face multiple times and lost half my tooth. This was after a few threatening emails regarding my support for feminist activities on campus. Take care of yourselves and try not to go out alone.”
MIASsparked controversy after it announced it will host an event titled “What’s equality got to do with it? Feminism’s double standards.”
Don’t read the comments unless you’re feeling really, really ready to see a bunch of MRAs mansplain why we shouldn’t believe the victim (“she only SAYS it was a man who attacked her, police haven’t confirmed it!”) and why this is really feminism’s fault for wanting special rights and not being “”“equalists”“” like their enlightened selves.
OKAY, FOLKS, THIS IS FUCKING SERIOUS.
One of my best friends lived in Kingston, and she’s one of the main organizers against the MRA group of campus. Since she and her friends have begun organizing against this group, she’s gotten threatening/sexually explicit phone calls, several people have been physically harassed, and there’s been at least one assault (I’m being vague by my friend’s request).
There is serious shit going down in Kingston right now, and the people who are speaking out against the MRA group on campus are not safe.
Please, do not let this stay under the radar. The campus MRA group may or may not be involved in the harassment, but they’re definitely attracting the people who are.
And for everyone time we’ve laughed at how ridiculous MRAs are, remember: they can, and do, fucking hurt people.
why does this not have more notes?????
Fucking MRAs. Add this to the pile of damage they’ve done and people they’ve hurt. Boost the fuck out of this, people, so that everyone knows. These men are dangerous and hateful. The MRM is a hate movement and groups involved are hate groups.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO SIGN THIS PETITION RIGHT NOW WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE INTERNET TO DO SO
Tony Abbott is about the sign off on possibly the worst power grab we’ve ever seen. The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)
If he signed this, your internet provider would be FORCED to POLICE YOUR ACTIVITY, and report everything you do online. There would be NO anonymous browsing, no “incognito” modes, no torrenting, no file sharing, NOTHING. Fanfics, fanarts, fanvids, ANYTHING thought to breach ANY kind of copyright, even in a completely harmless way, would be reported, and after THREE STRIKES, you WILL BE SENTENCED.
You thought SOPA was bad? That is NOTHING compared to the TPP.
So this just happened and I swear this is just plain bullshit. THIS ARTICLEstates that anyone who is LGBT or non christians can be bullied and the state is just cool with that because of “religious beliefs”
I NEED YOUR HELP TUMBLR
Even if you don’t live here please help make it a better place
We need 100,000 signatures by April 26, 2014 to stop this bullshit. Please spread this like wildfire because bullying is a MAJOR problem here and this is just encouraging it. What happened to FREEDOM of religion America?
