and so it goes... |
My name is Quinn and I'm a 21 year old who has no idea what I'm doing with my life. I could write pages gushing about how much I love music (folk-punk. indie-rock), books (Kurt Vonnegut), nerdy fandoms (Doctor Who, Buffy) and being a righteous kyriarchy smashing babe (a whole fucking lot) but I'm not gonna so you'll just have to take my word for it. |

Notes KyriarchyKyriarchy is a neologism coined by Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza to describe interconnected, interacting, and multiplicative systems of domination and submission, within which a person oppressed in one context might be privileged in another.[1] It is an intersectional elaboration of the concept of patriarchy[1] — it extends the analysis of oppression beyond traditional feminism to dynamics such as sexism, racism, economic injustice, and other forms of internalized and institutionalized oppression[2].

Notes"Rape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how you wear it, how you carry yourself, where you walk, when you walk there, with whom you walk, whom you trust, what you do, where you do it, with whom you do it, what you drink, how much you drink, whether you make eye contact, if you’re alone, if you’re with a stranger, if you’re in a group, if you’re in a group of strangers, if it’s dark, if the area is unfamiliar, if you’re carrying something, how you carry it, what kind of shoes you’re wearing in case you have to run, what kind of purse you carry, what jewelry you wear, what time it is, what street it is, what environment it is, how many people you sleep with, what kind of people you sleep with, who your friends are, to whom you give your number, who’s around when the delivery guy comes, to get an apartment where you can see who’s at the door before they can see you, to check before you open the door to the delivery guy, to own a dog or a dog-sound-making machine, to get a roommate, to take self-defense, to always be alert always pay attention always watch your back always be aware of your surroundings and never let your guard down for a moment lest you be sexually assaulted and if you are and didn’t follow all the rules it’s your fault."Shakesville: Rape Culture 101 (via loudandsoft) (via ratsandcandy666) (via penismonolog) (via sexismandthecity) (via that-neffster) (via fuckyeahgirlcrush) (via lipstick-feminists, amberlrhea) (via rabbitheartedd) (via alysalovely) (via womanrebel) (via missgingerlee) (via ashlynnbast) (via sentimental-pleasureseeker) (via feelingsaucy) (via redlipstick-lover) (via satan-baby) (via impertinentpeach)

Notes Homophobia: The fear that another man will treat you like you treat women.We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him.
The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.
“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.”
The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked.
“So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”(Source: andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com, via methodistcoloringbook)

Anonymous asked: People always go on about how old people are from a different time and don't mean to be racist but that is bullshit for 2 reasons: 1. My grandmother is a 71 year old white lady who was AT Dr Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech and dated a black guy in Virginia in the 60s and 2. I was in a grocery store in rural East Tennessee last week and saw an elderly (mid-80s) interracial couple. So basically, I'm calling all y'all's grannies racist.

Anonymous asked: Speaking of racist boyfriends: my Hispanic friend is dating a white dude who thinks it's cute to say the N word. He doesn't say it around me (I'm black) so he knows it's wrong—but I heard him say it while I was talking to her on the phone. She says it's his 'thing' to use expletives 'ironically' and that he does it all the time. Would it be wrong for me to give him a belated punch in the head?
Honestly, if that fact that your friend is dating a racist doesn’t sway you to get rid of her, how about the fact that she doesn’t understand what...
