If you’re a Men’s Rights Activist I’m gonna assume you’re a white man.

If not I promise you got life fucked up.

BEFORE EVERYONE KICKS MY ASS SO HARD I’m just really sick of seeing boy versions of this, and I thought I’d break the mould. I just want to see why it’s so easy for boy versions to get thousands of notes, and if it’s the same for girl versions.

I felt so angry at the UCSB massacre (an article about this incident and a script of his video’s speech) and the sexism we’re blind to everyday so I drew about my opinions on sexism to channel my rage.

I’m very happy the #YesAllWomen tag is going strong on U.S. Twitter right now. :D

Because apparently comics are too high-tech for most of you people.

"but white people-" "but straight people-" "but men-"

But no.

Fun fact: “member of a majority” doesn’t mean “racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, sexist, douchebag!”

 i hate all this “cishet” hatred “they’re evil people who discriminate always” bullshit because i know one specific time where it blew up in someone’s face. 

i was at this lgbt group thing in my city (mostly trans* people, actually, but cis people of different sexualities as well) and this new guy came named chad. he sat in on the meeting, didn’t say much. we go around the room and say what pronouns we prefer, and he said “he/him/his”. at one point he said he was questioning his sexuality, thought he might be bi, and that’s why he came to the meeting.

honestly, i along with most people, assumed he was a cis guy. he was like 5’11, had a beard, and wore baggy sweats. 

he said he had always dated women, and i could tell some of the other people were judgey of him (because there was this ‘no cis-straight people’ policy that i understood but people there were also pretty bi-phobic). 

anyway, a trans* woman there said something about trans* issues (i think it was healthcare in prison, can’t remember) and chad disagreed with her on the issue. it wasn’t that trans* people should be in their identified gendered prisons, it was something specific. they went at it for a bit, and then another trans* person butted in and they got a little ticked when chad stood his ground. 

the other person who butted in said, “honestly, you don’t understand. you’re new, but you’re going to have to learn to respect the trans* community. i know you aren’t used to this kind of stuff. but we have very specific issues and you just can’t understand.”

then chad got really red in the face and said, “no, sorry, i just disagree on the issue.” and the trans* woman rolled her eyes at him. someone else started preaching to him saying, “i’m not trying to be mean, but you need to understand your privilege in this situation.”

chad was like, “i know a shit load about the trans* community, i just disagree on that certain issue.”

people were like, “you can’t really know though.”

chad asked why he couldn’t know, his face really red.

and someone chuckled, “well, you have cisgendered white guy privilege.”

chad honestly flipped. he got up and said “i’m leaving. that’s why i never come to these fucking things. the trans* community sucks and i hate it (people stared angrily at him). i came here because im questioning my sexual orientation. i was also assigned female at birth, but i didn’t come here to talk about that. i was named emily at birth, i can show you my fucking birth certificate if you’d like. i went through an entire transition starting at age 14. i do not identify as a transgender. im just a guy trying to live as a guy. but i do fucking understand all about trans* issues because i lived through them and now im trying to get away from them. maybe that’s wrong of me, but that’s my choice, and now i come here and feel victimized because you fucks don’t know my past.”

and he left, and everyone felt awkward. nobody talked about it after, but it made me look differently at the cishet-hate bullshit i heard and saw on the internet. 

don’t victimize individuals. don’t do it. it’s dangerous.

I want to see exactly how many “social justice activists” here on tumblr actually admit that this girl is in the wrong. This girl mercilessly punches and kicks this boy’s head. All the while, he’s asking nicely for her to stop, saying he just wants to get off the bus and go home. When he finally has enough of her bullshit, he restrains her and her brother suddenly wants to jump into the situation. Finally the boy, who lets remember IS the victim (I’ll repeat that, THE BOY, LETS REMEMBER, IS THE VICTIM) asks his aggressor if she’s okay. After getting beaten on, he asks her if she’s okay. Just let that sink in. Go ahead, tumblr. Amaze me with your comments.

I have a friend who is from South Korea and she is a feminist. We had a convo last week, and I asked her to tell me the flaws in the movement, since she is kind of an “insider”. You know what was the first thing she told me? “Those 13-16 year olds on Tumblr.” When I asked her why, because we both believe that internet activism is a good way to get informed and to pass information around, and she said “they’re a bunch of white girls complaining about armpit hair and fat rolls, and then they put every single WoC on an untouchable pedestal just because she is a WoC.” She explained that with that mentality, everything a WoC says, good or bad, will get erased because these girls only saw her skin color. She is very passionate about feminism, and even though she knows that I’m very skeptical about it, we can have an open conversation. So, I was kind of shocked that she told me that. I asked her that at least those girls are informed about the kind of misogyny and sexism that exists in countries in the Eastern World and the struggles WoC face, and she said “yeah, and those white girls make those problems all about themselves behind the safety of a Tumblr account, so fuck it.”

My friend was given the hope that feminism  - or at least, Tumblr feminists -  want to ~liberate~ her. But when people like her come up with the conclusions mentioned above, you know there is something wrong.

social justice: i believe in equality for all races, genders, and identities. it will be a hard path, but if we work hard, we will achieve our goal.

not social justice: check ur privilege die cis het scum

[socialhypocrisy-blog]

Apparently everyone who dislikes the phrases “cishets are gross” or “straight people should die” is a cishet. This is a misconception. 

Contrary to this tumblr trend, seeing gross generalizations about people with my non-straight sexuality actually taught me not to generalize. 

If you hear something cruel, the answer is not to mimic the behavior back. You’re just repeating the problem. When some ass sees you generalize, they’re going to think it’s okay for them to do it too. And thus, rather then end the behavior you hate, you encourage it.

And that’s the last thing we want.

Gender stereotypes are limiting our sons and our daughters

Patriarchal notions of manhood don’t just harm women, they hurt men. Toxic definitions of masculinity lead to well-documented problems like high rates of gun violence, suicide and sexual violence. That’s why organizations like the Representation Project are committed to advancing the discussion about how gender limits the freedoms of both women and men. They recognize that society’s gender ideals aren’t only damaging for women; they’re universally harmful.

Their latest video examines how stereotypes constrain all people from the moment they are born.

The picture above is from Jr. high.. when we fell in love. The last day of 8th grade.

My parents first found out that Emily(left side of picture) was gay and banned the “pussy licker” from my house when I had just turned 16 years old. I was mad in response telling them that I was also gay. Then I was grounded. No internet on my phone. No texting or making calls to anyone except my parents/family. No car.

I had no way to talk to Emily except for at school, and we had no classes together. Not even lunch.

I tried to talk to her on my ipod. CAUGHT. Even on my mom’s cell phone..but I fell asleep with it.. CAUGHT… UGH. It was so annoying.

Eventually, they thought I had “come to my senses” and let me text people (still blocking emilys number).. and they let me have my car back because I had a job at Subway and they were tired of taking me back and forth to work. BUT. They put GPS family tracking or whatever on my phone to track where I am at all times, and my mom would receive a text message if I were ANYWHERE near emily’s house. This was when I was over 16 1/2 years old..

At first, I was miserable. But then Emily started to come and see me at Subway..and helping me close.. I got caught by my boss and almost got fired because of it..

I started to become sneaky… I would leave my phone on the outside of the subway at night saying I worked late and drive to her house until midnight and leave to get my phone and then speed home.. and when I say speed.. I mean driving 110 miles per hour on a 65 mile per hour road…and the same on a 30 mile per hour dirt road..

I got caught at her house twice..

My mom tried to put me in CHRISTIAN SCHOOL.

I refused to go saying I wanted to graduate with the senior class I grew up with…that if she put me in that school I would drop out and become a nobody. She said she was taking me out of her will and I responded with an “I don’t care. I don’t need any of your stuff.”

So I just continued to sneak around FINDING ways to see Emily..going on fake “dates” with boys and when they came to get me from my house Emily would be in their trunk… haha. I even got a vase full of red roses from my “boyfriend.” My mom looked delighted when she saw them… HA!

Eventually when I turned 17 I told them to accept who I was or I’m moving out. I moved out in to emily’s house and about two weeks later they came crawling back wanting to compromise.

At first I could only go see Emily at her house because she didn’t want “that stuff” going on in her house…

To make this already long story short…

Eventually, she learned to deal with it and now Emily and my mother are talking like normal people and friendly. I am now 18 years old. My mom still doesn’t like it but she just deals with it because she loves me.

I’m truly thankful for that, although I know it still bothers her.

The picture above is the day that Emily got banned from my house. We have several pictures of that day and every time I look at them I get chills. It was a great day to start out, and then it just ended horribly. It was also the LAST day of summer before my junior year of high school..

—————————

We are so happy now and will be getting married soon.

I guess what I’m trying to say is… DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHO YOU CAN AND CANNOT LOVE.

It’s something you have to decide and fight for.
