Think of the first ten gay men you’ve seen portrayed by the media. How many are thin? How many are fat? If you can think of more than two fat gay men who were more than side characters, you’re already doing better than I am.
This is a problem. It’s setting gay youth up…
If the misogynist in your life is trying to claim women can’t serve in combat because they can’t carry a dude, kindly point them in the direction of this article about how people in the military learn the fireman’s carry.

Cultures that endorse modesty and cultures that endorse hypersexualization are the *same* thing. Both define female sexuality by how it relates to the male gaze. In both cases the female body exists as an ornament either to be kept carefully hidden or put on display. Neither is an empowering feminist achievement.
Thank you.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
This accurately describes my tolerance to ALL the bullshit. edited by the lovely @stinkyhairyhippie.
- iwillnotshavemyvagina: You know the analogy for sex that "a key that opens a lot of locks is a good key, but a lock that opens by many keys is a shitty lock," right?
- me: yeah, I hate it.
- iwillnotshavemyvagina: Well, I came up with a better one: "A bowl that holds many Cheetos is a good bowl; however, a Cheeto that's seen many bowls is a nasty Cheeto."
- EDIT: iwilnotshavemyvaginamerelysaid this to me in a reiteration of hat she saw someone else say on tumblr. I never heard it before and thought it was cool, so credit is due where it's due--I just like the concept. :D

Here’s my little diddy: Topless Inequality Blues
Recorded on my shit guitar missing an e using garage band on my essentially broken mac. The quality is not good. It cuts off suddenly at the end. Let’s not make me feel bad about what I already know is crappy!
I hope you enjoy!
In the summer’s hot, hot heat
On the beach or strolling down the street
I see some people with no top
But where I live it’s not a lot
‘Cause over 50% of the population
Faces arrest or citation
If your ID states you are M
Then your nipples are okay my friend
But as an F I must make a plea
To allow my nipple without the attached baby
It’s legal if it’s used for food
But not the pool ‘cause I’m no dude
I’m not suggesting anything outrageous
In fact the idea seems quite contagious
We’ve all had nipples, all had breasts
Let us put this taboo to rest
It’s not a big deal
And we need this to heal
Societally
Some blame the men and their attraction
as the root of shocked reaction
But I don’t think that’s quite fair
Some like legs, others like hair
The law is based on sexist notions
Reaction from straight men’s emotions
These laws affect our perceptions
Of what gender is and what directions
We should take to punish those
Who we think should wear more clothes
Ban all breasts or allow them all
Those are both equal calls
I’m not suggesting anything outrageous
In fact the idea seems quite contagious
We’ve all had nipples, all had breasts
Let us put this taboo to rest
It’s not a big deal
And we need this to heal
Societally
Breasts are not genitals xbazillion
I’m not suggesting anything outrageous
In fact the idea seems quite contagious
We’ve all had nipples, all had breasts
Let us put this taboo to rest
It’s not a big deal
And we need this to heal
Societally
!!!! :DD
