I just saw a comment on a post by a woman talking about her fear while going on runs alone, saying,

"It's not anti-men, it's anti-patriarchy! The patriarchy hurts everyone, ESPECIALLY men!"

"The patriarchy" isn't what's committing 99% of sexual crimes. The patriarchy isn't what she's scared of chasing her.

The patriarchy - oppressing women to hold men at a superior position of societal power - is not "especially hurting men." "The patriarchy" is men. Men favoring men. Not a mysterious force.

"It's not men, it's society that's fucked up" is another one I've heard. "Society" is not a mysterious force. Who's leading our society? Who's committing the violence? Who owns the most destructive companies? Who marries children? Starts our wars? Look at the statistics. There is one common factor.

And you don't have to agree with statistics for them to be true. Statistics aren't "anti-men", men as a class are anti-women, and anti-humanity.

This is why I say "MEN cause..." rather than "the patriarchy". People seem to believe the patriarchy is some intangible evil force or hidden elite group that's out to get everyone, rather than the status quo of men oppressing women in order to benefit themselves. Men are the oppressing class. They cannot be oppressed on the same axis on which they oppress.

if you were able to recognize the social media/news campaign against heard - the cherrypicking of small details, the flooding of social media to create false trends online, the psychological torture via memes of her testimony, the outright lies that were loudly proclaims but then quietly corrected, etc.... then you have the skills to recognize the campaign happening against the palestinian people and liberation movement currently

ID: a black text on a white background that reads;

Muslims: Secular western society is obsessed with sex. Thank you God for Islam and modesty.

Also Muslims: Lower you gaze bruzzer, it will lead to sex. Don't shake hands with opposite sex sister, it will lead to sex. Put on hijab sister, showing your hair lead to sex. Don't listen to music bruzzer, it will lead to sex. But remember sister, if you refuse sex to your husband, angels will curse you all night

Do you know why? 

Do you want to know why?

Cute little boys in their boy dresses!

And dresses and skirts look fine on men:

In different cultures around the world different items of clothing are worn that in many countries would be seen as feminine: 

And they all look fabulous as fuck, like wow!

The only reason you think so now is because you are socialised differently. Which is ok, that happens, but when you assert things as facts and don’t look at any of the culture behind them you looking like an anal fissure. 

it would make people notice the double meaning of the “open door” as freedom for anna vs. an opportunity to take the throne for hans

after the troll song there are no musical numbers for the entire resolution of the movie

reprises where the meaning of the song is changed are hella rad

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
