A couple of the best people I know are having trouble conceiving and I would just appreciate the word being spread. Any bit of help is huge to them. Thanks! <3

if you aren’t sure who to vote for in this coming election…

there’s this website where you can take a quiz that gauges who you should vote for, based on your opinions about political issues!

you should try it out, because an informed voter is a happy voter!

I removed the flag not only in defiance of those who enslaved my ancestors in the southern United States, but also in defiance of the oppression that continues against black people globally in 2015, including the ongoing ethnic cleansing in the Dominican Republic. I did it in solidarity with the South African students who toppled a statue of the white supremacist, colonialist Cecil Rhodes. I did it for all the fierce black women on the front lines of the movement and for all the little black girls who are watching us. I did it because I am free.

“We are not confused”

[funtimeswithdoublee-blog]

it is so upsetting listening to so many males talk about all of the times they have gone on road trips alone and slept in their cars alone or on the side of the road, or travelled overseas alone and slept on the floor of strangers homes or in parks or at hostels and they appear to have such freedom in that they are able to be alone in ways that females, unfortunately, cannot…and there is an ignorance surrounding this in that these boys never seem to comprehend just how fortunate they are that strange people and unfamiliar places and the dark of night are not their enemies but rather exciting, promising things

So this happened at work today.

Coworker: You guys are so dramatic, not all men are evil and shit.

Me: .... I know that, intellectually. Emotionally I'm not that clear.

Cowoker: Ah?

Me: Let me put it this way. You know that if a skinny, rather short guy like you goes to jail, he's rather likely to be raped, right?

Cowoker: Yes.

Me: So let's suppose you go to jail for something rather harmless, something that harmed no one, like... ar... selling bootleg DVDs or something like that. Something that would keep you inside for a year or so.

Cowoker: Okay?

Me: So you go to jail and you know that people get raped in there. Yet you intellectually know it's impossible that all inmates are gay and sexually interested in you, it's statistically impossible. Right?

Cowoker: Right.

Me: But you'd still be scared, wouldn't you? I mean you know not all of them are out to get you, but you know some might and you can't tell who it would be. And yet you are forced to spend all your time with them, to share your space with them, and you know you might look at that ONE guy who could and would want to rape you. It would be ridiculously scary, right?

Cowoker: O__o it would.

Me: ....... well, that's how women feel every day, all the time. We know not all men are out to rape us, most would never dare do something like that, but we know there are some out there who would, gladly at that, and we can't tell them appart on sight alone. Also we feel like the short, skinny kid who did nothing really bad in jail, we know anyone can bring us down with a single punch.

Cowoker: ...... O___O

Me: ... so that girl who glares at you in the subway, she is not thinking you are a horrible man that deserves to die, she is trying to find out whether you are part of the small percentage of men out there who can and want to do her harm. You all should wear labels by the way, it would make communication so much easier.

Cowoker: ........ that's fucking horrible.

Me: I know, right?
