the words earnest and absurd are girlfriends

como mi gato piensa que voy a reaccionar cuando me trae un ratón saltarin vivo a la una de la mañana

Humanos são tão mas tão ingratos. Eu dou meu sangue e minha alma pra pegar um rato e trazer ele VIVO pra eles aprenderem a caçar e não passarem fome e não recebo nem sequer um obrigado, é sempre "mas que caralho é esse" "que nojo" "eu não como rato". É por isso que eu vomito nos seus tapetes e mordo você.

“Bear men carry their hirsute, generous frames with pride. Fairies adorn themselves with cheap faux jewelry and thrift-shop dresses as they dance before the goddess. Leathermen place their bodies at the intersection of pleasure and pain in a way that profoundly troubles the distinction between the two.”

“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”
