someone on fb posted from their phone at outback steakhouse that they thought it was AUSTRALIAN but he had “little asian kids” seat him.
am I missing a joke here or something because what. so I replied to him but anyway
Hello, I'm a Muslim woman.
mehreenkasana:
And I’m not oppressed by my religion.
What oppresses me as a citizen and as a human being is the patriarchal interpretation of Islamic teachings, cultural distortion of basic theological beliefs and man-made rules directed cruelly at women only. What ties me down and suffocates me is gender discrimination done as a result of following back-breaking mores. But, above all, what...

kalamah:
I kept my silence when an intersex tumblr insisted that all intersex people were binary-identified (as in only men or women in gender identity) even though I knew it was a false assertion, and when the person who ran the tumblr told a genderqueer intersex person that they were a lying troll. I stayed quiet when another tumblr was offensively dismissive of linking to...

– Sorry, but what does this mean? Maybe I’m missing some context here, but this is nothing short of thinly-veiled racism. Saying to an entire race of people that the processes by which they’ve been excluded and ostracized from our nation’s culture and identity is attributable to their attitude and not...

Healing Sakina: Micro(macro)aggressions
I speak out of direct and particular anger at an academic conference, and a white woman says, “Tell me how you feel but don’t say it too harshly or I cannot hear you.” But is it my manner that keeps her from hearing, or the threat of a message that her life may change?

heroics:
Almost all of us enjoy something that’s problematic. There is almost always some issue in our favorite comics, television shows, films, books, etc. And you’re free to like them! I mean, I really like The Vampire Diaries, which is filled with LOADS of suspect stuff (on top of being a CW show, but whatever). Vehemently defending the problematic elements in something doesn’t make you a...

neutresex:
Embracing genders and existing in genders is as revolutionary as rejecting/abolishing/destroying/neglecting genders.
We’ve got to be able to recognize that genders can be powerful, beautiful, liberating, and meaningful tools just as we are able to recognize that genders can be destructive, harmful, and restricting.

socialism success stories
greenstate:
i know a lot of people reblogged my post about capitalism tonight, saying that there is no successful working model for socialism. i mean, because the UUSR failed, that must mean all forms of socialism great and small are a colossal failure, right? wrong. here are some ways in which socialism has done us some favors.

anjaplaschg:
I’ll never understand how people will be able to find certain things funny and it really upsets me and worries me that “raaaaape!” is something kids shout in the hallways when their friend playfully tackles them, or that it’s what a tumblr user did to your ask box, or what a hard exam did to you. I don’t care what fucking context it’s in, or if you’ve experienced it or not, or if...

FAT SOLIDARITY: THE BASICS
innerfatgirl:
** Fat experiences are complicated and vary from fatty to fatty. The following are some personal guidelines on how people can opt out of fat hate and challenge the objectification of fat bodies. This list is incomplete, won’t be the same for everyone, and was written by and hastily reflects the experiences of that fat bitch, Majestic Legay.
