Hi, there. I’m wearing a shirt that reads “Kill Me”. If you saw me at a party or on the street would you promptly murder me? What about if I had a few drinks? What if I was walking alone at night? I’m guessing that you wouldn’t if you’re a sane individual.
The cops wouldn’t overlook your crime because of what I’m wearing because that’s silly. I wasn’t literally asking for you to kill me based on my choice of clothing. Who would take that defense seriously?
My friends wouldn’t blame me for being murdered and my killer would be behind bars almost instantly.
So, why is it okay to rape someone because they’re wearing promiscuous clothes? Why does THEIRchoice of clothing excuse THEIR attacker?
It doesn’t. You’re silly if you think otherwise. The less guilt on the attacker. The more guilt on victim.
Stop. Victim. Blaming.
Holy fuck. This guy gets it.
Yep.
Damn Right.
Yup. Spot on. I hate the suggestion that there’s some mysterious amount of flesh which once displays causes a man to lose control of his ability to not rape someone. What I find particularly disturbing about that idea is that it implies that men are constantly fighting the urge to rape. That men are naturally and instinctively rapists and that women covering themselves up is the only thing that can possibly keep their urges under control. That is just plain bullshit…if you’re a man and you ever find yourself struggling with the urge to rape then you are mentally ill and you need to seek help.
I’ve done this play twice, and this happens every. single. time.

ahahahahaha, IT IS SO TRUE *also experience*
INTO THE WOOOOODS! TO GRANDMOTHER’S HOUSE! dah dah dahdah dah EVER AFTER
when people get mad at other people saying that something they did was racist/sexist/homophobic/whatever
I don’t get it
it’s like
If you were hanging out with your friend and your friend turns to you and says “hey I don’t know if you noticed but you just stepped on my foot, can you please stop”, I am guessing most people would say “oh man, I’m sorry” and maybe watch where they were walking a little better
You probably would NOT:
- yell at your friend for accusing you of stepping on their foot
- deny that you had stepped on your friend’s foot
- argue with your friend over how you step on everyone’s feet equally, so it shouldn’t matter
- insist that you didn’t step on their foot that hard, so it couldn’t have hurt them
- get offended over the implication that the way you walk is wrong
- say “okay, but what about MY foot?”
- step on your friend’s foot more to show how it isn’t even a big deal and nobody cares about people stepping on each other’s feet anymore
- reference that one time when your friend stepped on YOUR foot and you didn’t complain
- tell them you didn’t mean to do it, so you’re not responsible for stepping on their foot
- deny that your friend has a foot
and I mean sometimes the person isn’t even a friend or someone you know but that doesn’t matter, don’t fucking step on people
Words Of Wisdom of the Day: Inspired by the acclaimed “Sagan Series,” Evan Schurr pieced together powerful statements made by world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson that serve as an alarming wake up call to a nation that has stopped dreaming and underfunded tomorrow.
I thought these two were some of the most interesting:
4) I have the right to cite Wikipedia as one of the sources that I use to research a subject. Just because you believe the hype that Wikipedia is full of incorrect information, doesn’t mean that it is true — besides we all use it anyways (including you). I am smart enough to verify what I find online to be the truth.
5) I have the right to access social media at school. It is where we all live, it is how we communicate — we do not use email, or call each other. We use Facebook, Twitter and texting to talk to each other. Teachers and schools should take advantage of this and post announcements and assignments using social media — you will get better results.
steeple333 asked: Based on your posts, T&B looks like a drama/comedy about a stuffy young man and a single DILF trying to find love together (helped/impeded by their many friends). I wish this was the case, if only for the “Barnaby meets Kaede” ep. ;_;
“… the more jealous GLaDOS would get. She’d try to win you back in twisted ways. In one sequence that didnt make the final game, players would arrive at the start of a new puzzle and see a candlelit roast beef sitting on the table, prepared by GLaDOS. Coming closer you realise the roast beef is ice-cold, and then hear GLaDOS chastising you for missing dinner because you were too busy cheating on her with a personality sphere.” - the final hours of Portal 2
So according to valve, GLaDOS isnt chell’s long lost mother, shes the jealous psychotic girlfriend. … I love it. Also apparently “want you gone” was written as GLaDOS breaking up with chell.
I love this game so much. Its so insane. : D
oh my god that scene would have been beautiful and yes, why subscribe to the complicated mother theories when the game canonically gives you a jealous robot ex-girlfriend???
ME: but like

(I consider my Tumblr my safe space; please know that there are several reasons why I post almost nothing of a serious or non-happy nature. I read it, I link to it, I talk about it, I care deeply and achingly, but I do not put it on my main Tumblr. I'm sorry. Like I said, there are reasons, and I've thought about other options a great deal. I'm sorry if it makes you reluctant to follow.)
