so apparently the "bad vibes" I've been feeling are actually "severe psychological distress"

u know those shows that are so full of potential but the writers just kinda…..missed the mark?? those shows that you would gladly rewrite for only seven dollars because the prospect of making something great out of such workable material & untapped potential is just so enticing? well yeah, $7 is completely arbitrary. but for years, i’ve been using $7 as my example. i call these seven dollar shows. write which shows u would rewrite (for $7) in the tags if u want 

Humans are cool and good actually it's just colonialism and capitalism that you're mad at

depression and being in the closet stole my teenage years from me so if you catch me doing some juvenile shit in my late twenties mine your own damn business

John Mulaney voice: It was even weirder, though, when I went out for the night with some money, black out, and wake up with more money, because that means that I earned money. That means that I traded goods and/or services. Which is scary.

So I’m not the only person who finds this really creepy right?

No, no you are not

…so it was that bad

Well, that sure explains a lot!

^^^^^^

i don’t want to achieve equality by sinking to men’s level, i want them to get on ours! why should i have to unlearn the conversational art of waiting my turn, unlearn sexual self-restraint, unlearn trust in others’ good intentions, unlearn the impulse to cater to others’ needs, just to have a chance at success among savages? why can’t the men learn some fucking manners so we can all conduct our affairs in a civilized manner? i shouldn’t have to stop saying sorry, you say sorry!

In the 80s when I was in my freshman year in college, they still had entirely separate mens and women’s dorms. I was in class waiting for a final to start and one of the guys was telling someone about how he had had to go into a women’s dorm to drop something off, and he was startled to see posters on the walls, flowers, curtains, etc. He said his men’s dorm had holes in the walls, things on fire, fights, guys walking around with open wounds and he just didn’t understand why they had to live like this. He said, “I want to live with the women, in civilization.”

Am reading Sisterhood of Spies, about women working for the OSS during WWII. One of the stories mentions that the women in London had a male visitor who would eat in their mess hall once a month. He was married and wasn’t interested in hitting on any of the women; he just wanted to eat in an atmosphere where people said “Please pass the butter,” instead of “PASS THE GODDAMNED GREASE”

I dated a guy who brought me along on group activities (movies, video game night, etc.) with four or five other male friends. Once I mentioned to one of the other guys that I hoped I wasn’t intruding on their “guy time” or some such. He got this sort of rueful look and said, “The truth is, I really like it when you’re here because it gives us a reason to act better. When it’s just guys, we all have to try to outdo each other with how vile we are.”

So the moral of these stories are men don’t even treat each other like human beings.

Society enables Toxic Masculinity so much that for too many men, the elements of toxic masculinity are the only form of masculinity they know.

When I lived in a dorm the hall was shaped like a U and one half was women other half was men separated by the bathrooms. You could SMELL the difference walking from one side to the other.
