So I just read this article about how people end up fucking up whatever task they’re doing when they feel like they’re being watched.  Scientists have discovered that the sense of being observed actually SHUTS OFF a part of the brain, the inferior parietal cortex. 

Given the fact that women are constantly watched in our society, and we are constantly REMINDED that we are being watched by people making fun of fat, “ugly”, or gender-nonconforming women, it makes me wonder how many women have messed up important tasks or projects or just day-to-day activities because A PART OF OUR BRAIN is permanently being deactivated?

Like talk about a fucking handicap.

Women are constantly held under the microscope- whether we are attractive or unattractive, the gaze of patriarchy never ends.

Just last week I was walking my dog and bent over to literally pick up poop.  Suddenly I heard whistling and looked up cause I knew I was the only person around.  Sure enough, about 300 feet away, some construction worker was perched on top of a building, grinning at me and calling out stuff I luckily couldn’t hear because he was so goddamn far away.

I wonder what it does to women to have this constant source of stress hanging over us, each and every day, knowing we are being scrutinized and examined no matter what we’re doing.  I wonder how many more accomplishments, life-changing discoveries, inventions, etc would have been achieved by women if we didn’t have this constant brain-handicap imposed on us by men.

19th centuries ladies holding the rifle the proper way:

Annie Oakley - a sharpshooter.

Calamity Jane - a frontierswoman.

Mary Fields - a star route postwoman.

Pearl Hart - a stagecoach robber.

It is that time of the year again when spicy heterosexuals take over social media to tell which gays and lesbians are not welcome to Pride for their political opinions.

It was not men who made the decision to get rid of it. It was women who fought to get it down.

Pornhub is finally going down. They're about to rid most of what's left - which is 9% - by the 30th. The other 91% that's gone consisted of 50+ MILLION files and videos.

This is a victory.
