If I had a hammer, I'd smash the glass ceiling.
I got 99 problems and misogyny is all of them.
When the state of Ohio found two sixteen year old boys
guilty of ra.ping a sixteen year old girl, both boys cried their
eyes out moments after the verdict.
Every major news outlet coddled them instead of the girl they ra.ped.
CNN was grieving over the deaths of their futures in football.
They said nothing of the cemetery growing inside the body of the girl.
Nothing of the graveyard where she buried her trust in men.
Ra.pe culture is the worst kind of teacher our kids are learning from.
It teaches women that it is their responsibility not to get ra.ped.
It teaches men that boys will be boys.
It teaches us that a short skirt and a smile is asking for it.
It teaches us that it's not wrong unless someone comes to the rescue.

Gay people can't do
this.
Women shouldn't
be able to do that.
But touch my semiautomatic rifle and
you're attacking my rights.

If you're a male
and your reaction to a woman saying she wants equal
rights is, "So, does this mean I can hit you now?" maybe you should reassess your entire, pitiful life

Just
think of how stupid this entire LGBT
debacle will look like in say 50 years.
People in 50 years will look at it the same way we look at the fight for evolution (aka Scopes Trial),
and the fight for women's rights. Both of those things we consider totally normal today, so why can't we take the issue of the right for homosexuals to marry in stride and not makes fools of ourselves? This is a perfect example of history repeating itself and humanity not learning from mistakes of the past. Personally, as a Catholic, I support gay rights. I believe strongly in the Golden Rule and I apply it to LGBT rights as well. I understand that God says it is a sin to be a homosexual. But "catholic" also means "UNIVERSAL'. So how can the Roman Catholic Church be universal if we don't acknowledge the rights of ALL people? I'm not suggesting that the church has to accept them, but they don't have to ice them out either. God wants us to spread his world to ALL the ends of the earth. I'm pretty sure that people who are gay come before the ends of the earth.

Tumblr has taught me more about feminism, women rights, rap. e culture, sl. ut shaming, etc. than school ever has. And there is something really wrong about that.
