"But Trans Women Are Triggering!"
When people use the old “trans women can’t be in women’s space because they are triggering” argument I just want to stab myself, or possibly someone else, in the eye with a rusty fork. You know the one: “we can’t have trans women in our domestic violence shelter because they look like men” or “trans women can come to our play party, we guess, but...

a message to every girl (and boy)
leafybrranch:
Stop using the word “slut” to insult girls. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having sex with whoever you want, whenever you want, as long as you want it. Don’t be afraid of your sexuality.
Stop teaching girls “how to not get raped” and instead teach boys how to not be rapists.
Stop buying into bullshit...

Cultural Appropriation and the Myth of "Reverse...
freshfeminism:

So some friends commented on it. One of them is a few years younger than me and was curious about feminism. All very promising. Then, suddenly, a real life Privilege-Denying Dude! Here to deny! At length!

So that was crappy. My response, if you’re interested, was this:

Shitty weather, sale fever, post-holidays blues, over-optimistic resolutions, realising your entire last year of life was wasted time… etc. But there’s one particular reason I especially dislike January and this is it; it’s sort of the unofficial month of fat shame. I mean, it’s not that the rest of the year...
