men can be victims of sexual violence. but i think they shouldn’t bring it up when violence against women is happening neither men nor the society that raised them have the nuance to compare these apples to those oranges

for the first time since tracking began, more American households have kittens than puppies. there is a reason for this: homeownership is declining, and homeowners are twice as likely as renters to own dogs. did cats engineer the housing crisis? i'll be honest: it is now more likely than not.

there’s a classic joke on the difference between nonbinary v genderqueer as umbrella labels outside of cisnormative binary gender: “but what’s your rEaL gender identity? are you a man or a woman?” nonbinary: “yes, no, maybe? more than 2 options.” genderqueer: “what are you, a cop? fuck you!”

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

i am reading "feminist, queer, crip" and i had a vague idea that a bunch of social justice movements have bathroom access as a necessity for participation in public life but i was really focused on the current trans moral panic and had not connected the history

Attacking Madonna for still being Madonna at 68 is just misogyny. Did y'all really expect her to age into a kindly, humble little ole grandma who gave up on her sex appeal? Also: If Madonna had gone to the VMAs and everyone had been happy with how she behaved, would she even be Madonna?

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Everyone is so tired. Exhausted. And I'm talking to so many friends and colleagues who are hoping for a functional institutional power to come along and take care of them, take the annoying work and worry away. An employer, a publisher, a big funder, an elected leader, etc. I think it's just us.

Just as the lived experience of individual wealthy people is largely irrelevant when discussing the reality of capitalism, the lived experience of individual men is largely irrelevant when discussing patriarchy - and yet everything must be couched and approached softly for fear of setting one off.

Magical creatures don’t exist, eh? Roughly 400 million years ago, before the birth of trees, there were giant mystery cones called “Prototaxites,” which grew nearly 30 feet tall. We literally have no idea what they were. Plant: no Mushroom: no Animal: no Tell me this isn’t a little bit magic

If we are serious about dismantling patriarchy and rape culture, we would stop calling it Cornell 7. It's the Cornell 57. Passive bystanders are a pillar of misogyny. Men must actively intervene in shifting social norms & refuse to participate in rape *culture* Its the Cornell 57, not Cornell 7.
