The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness,”….

Trans* voices are conspicuously absent, and too many uninformed and insensitive lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer persons are doing harm to the trans* community while simultaneously purporting to speak for them. Just because I have experienced one kind of oppression does not mean that I understand all oppression.

Why is this relevant? And they do pay tax, they’re just very effective at paying as little tax as they can.
Seriously: Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills. Really?
So I was on tumblr with my boyfriend and i saw the quote “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.” In response, out loud, I was like, “trueeee”.
My boyfriend in response to me goes, “that is so sexist, you can’t tell me there aren’t women in the world…
Women’s complaints: We don’t make enough money, we’re hypersexualized, polticians vote over control of our bodies, we’re blamed for our own assaults
Men’s complaints: They keep saying they hate us

misandry irritates those doing the killing
hence the controversy
Implying every man or woman who get’s annoyed by prejudice and hatred towards men is a murderer.
Yeah sure.
You missed the point.
Misogynist attitudes in society cause violence against women, including verbal abuse, emotional abuse, assault (sexual and otherwise), and murder.
Misandrist attitudes of one person cause irritation to men.

This is fucking bullshit
We talked with Kalpona Akter, the executive director of the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity, about how American consumers can best pressure US corporations to protect workers abroad. Read the full interview here.
People starving when tons of unsold food is thrown away globally because people couldn’t afford to purchase the food, that’s violence.

Disabled killer whale with missing fins survives with the help of family who hunt for its food
- Rainer Schimpf spotted the whale off Port Elizabeth in South Africa
- It was missing its right-side pectoral fin and dorsal fin
- But it was cared for by its pod which shared food with the young male
A disabled killer whale that is missing two fins is able to survive in the wild with the help of its family, who hunt food its food.
The young killer whale has no dorsal fin or right-side pectoral fin, leaving it unable to hunt for itself.
But rather than be left to fend for itself or die, the whale appears to be cared for by members of its pod, which share their food with the youngster.
It is one of the few times that killer whales have been seen to feed and care for a non-hunting member.Underwater photographer Rainer Schimpf came face to face with the pod while the members hunted in waters off Port Elizabeth in South Africa.
He said: ‘Incapable of fast hunting and ambushing prey it has to be dependent on the pod which, one assumes, looks after it very well.
‘It shows these mammals are not really just ruthless killing machines but they also have complex, caring social-structures in which they and care for their own disabled members.’
Mr Schimpf had been tracking the pod of seven as they hunted a Bryde’s whale - measuring 50ft (15m) in length and weighing a massive 15 tonnes.
Killer whales are known to hunt and kill larger whale species - but sometimes only eat the tongue, research has shown.
The pod also included a female with a bent dorsal fin like the killer whale in Free Willy, a ‘huge male’ and four other females.
He said the younger whale followed at a distance and appeared to have fallen behind.
The younger killer whale stayed at a distance when the rest of the pod hunted at the surface and then in the depths.
‘It was brave and curious enough to come close to the boat and inspect us,’ said Mr Schimpf, a guide for Dive Expert Tour.
‘But after a while he disappeared as well, presumably to dive down to the whale-feast below.
‘Such a kill would easily support the entire orca pod and make sharing of the kill much easier than if they had taken a seal or a dolphin.’
The find is one of only a handful where injured or disabled killer whales have been known to survive with the help of its pod.
In 1996 researchers spotted a killer-whale calf that was missing its tail and part of its dorsal fin - believed to have been sliced off by a boat propeller.
The injured killer whale - known as stumpy - was not seen for many seasons afterwards and presumed dead until it popped up again seven years later.
It was last seen feeding with a pod off the coast of Queensland, Australia, in 2008.

seriously, if you support Straight But Not Narrow I don’t trust you and probably don’t like you and you’re a shitty ally.
Why?
Because you’re taking a movement about US and you’re making it about YOU. It’s nothing but self-righteous, cookie-grabbing, erasure. It’s saying you don’t actually care about US, you just care that people think you’re cool because you “support” us queer folk.
