Hot take as someone who is/was on both "sides" throughout my life
"Pretty privilege" isn't a real privilege thing, it's a different experience of misogyny. Misogynistic men don't respect pretty women more, they just want to fuck so they put a bit more effort pretending to be decent
I think they are both their distinct forms of misogyny, the dehumanizing disrespect to ""ugly"" women and the dehumanizing sexualization of attractive women
"pretty privilege" is just a term the internet came up with to describe something that already had a name, the halo effect. and i think discussing it using that name is more useful, because it's more of a phenomenon than a privilege and it applies to both women and men.
and the fact that physically attractive people are treated better than ugly people isn't a feminist issue, it's just a fact of life and it happens across the board. i don't think it's something we can ever really get rid of.
the feminist issue here is that women's entire worth is based on how attractive they are. ugly men can still be respected and liked by people if they have other qualities or accomplishments, because men's main worth is in what they do, not in how they look. but women's main purpose is to be objectified, so if a woman is ugly, no amount of personal accomplishments can make up for it. that's the reason women are so obsessed with beauty and being beautiful.
When does it get cold?
< 45°F (7°C)
45°F - 50°F (7°C - 10°C)
50°F - 55°F (10°C - 13°C)
55°F - 60°F (13°C - 16°C)
60°F - 65°F (16°C - 18°C)
65°F - 70°F (18°C - 21°C)
70°F (21°C) <
Nearly everyone on this website seems to love the cold for some unclear reason so I'm gonna put this to the test once and for all! Please reblog to spread this as far as possible!
For me generally? Definitely less than 7C as long as I'm walking. For my stupid fucking nose? Pretty much anything less than 20C. Unfair.
Gays: if you’re not gay then you’re not gay
People in hetero relationships but who wear silly clothing: How DARE You Disrespect me! I exist!

kermit is a butch and miss piggy is a femme and they are in lesbian love
Look at this picture and try and argue otherwise
sorry this is so real
This is why….you don’t take….your fucking kinks out in public.
Did the public consent to being a part of your fetish play??
Did those children consent to being a part of your fetish play???
Honestly? Seriously? Wtf?
Jesus
Those poor kids look miserable.
This is why we don’t want fucking kinksters at Pride. It’s not “in the bedroom” if you’re not in the bedroom. And it’s everyone’s business if you’re making it everyone’s business.
Jfc! This is ammo for religious fundies, and worse: sexual abuse of children.
In the US, sodomy was against the law in the mid-20th century. Some of those laws weren’t overturned until the 1980s or 1990s. There are still parts of the world where homosexual sex can get you killed. There are still parts of the world where being openly homosexual can get you killed. These laws were nearly universally used in order to conduct raids on homosexual men, and only rarely used to prosecute rapists.
A man beating a woman has always been legal. There are rarely even legal consequences when she doesn’t consent it. Drugging and raping women (and less commonly, men) is an action with no legal repercussions 99.5% of the time. Degradation of others has always been legal. Inflicting pain on others has always been legal. Even simulated child pornography is legal, defended tooth and nail and overturned just 6 years after a law was passed to ban it.
Kink has NEVER been an axis of oppression. Homosexuality has.
"Male-dominated funding panels may also explain why we have so few drugs available for uterine failure. Every day 830 women around the world die due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth (in some African countries more women die annually from childbirth than at the height of the Ebola epidemic). Over half of these deaths are explained as being a result of problems with contractions, often because the contractions are too weak for the woman to give birth. The only medical treatment available for women whose contractions aren’t strong enough is the hormone oxytocin, which works about 50% of the time. Those women go on to give birth vaginally. Women who don’t respond to oxytocin are given an emergency caesarean. In the UK weak contractions are the reason given for a majority of the 100,000 emergency caesareans carried out each year.
We currently have no way of knowing which women will respond to oxytocin, which clearly isn’t ideal: all women, including those for whom it will result in a pointless and harrowing delay, have to go through the process. This happened to a friend of mine in 2017. After being in hospital in excruciating pain for two days (on her own for much of it as her partner had been sent home), she was only 4 cm dilated. Eventually she was taken off for a C-section, and she and the baby were fine. But the experience left her traumatised. She had flashbacks for the first few weeks after she gave birth. When she talks about the internal exams and procedures, she describes it as a violent assault. It was, she says, brutal. But what if it didn’t have to be this way? What if they’d known from the beginning that she was going to need a caesarean?
In 2016 Susan Wray, a professor of cellular and molecular physiology at the University of Liverpool, gave a lecture to the Physiological Society. Wray is also the director of the Centre of Better Births in Liverpool Women’s Hospital and she explained that recent research revealed that women with contractions that were too weak to give birth had more acid in their myometrial blood (the blood in the part of the uterus that causes contractions). The higher the levels of acid were, the higher the likelihood a woman would end up needing a caesarean, because oxytocin isn’t, it turns out, that effective on women with an acidic blood pH.
But Wray didn’t simply want to be able to predict the need for a caesarean. She wanted to be able to avoid it. Together with her fellow researcher Eva Wiberg-Itzel, Wray conducted a randomised control trial on women with weak contractions. Half of them were given the usual oxytocin; half were given bicarbonate of soda, and then given the usual oxytocin an hour later. The change was dramatic: 67% of women given just oxytocin went on to give birth vaginally, but this rose to 84% if they were given bicarbonate of soda an hour before. As Wray pointed out, the bicarb dose wasn’t tailored to body weight, it wasn’t tailored to the amount of acid in the blood, and the women weren’t given repeated doses. So the efficacy could turn out to be even higher. This finding could not only be transformative for the tens of thousands of women a year who have what could turn out to be unnecessary surgery (not to mention saving the NHS a substantial amount of money). It could save women’s lives in countries where caesarean sections are risky or not readily available – not that you have to live in a low-income country for a C-section to be risky: you could just be a black woman living in the United States.
The US has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, but the problem is particularly acute for African Americans. The World Health Organization has estimated that the death rate of black expectant and new mothers in the US matches that of women in much lower-income countries like Mexico and Uzbekistan. Black women in America have worse health outcomes overall than white women, but when it comes to pregnancy and childcare the comparisons score off the charts: African American women are 243% more likely than white women to die from pregnancy and childbirth-related issues. And it’s not just because African Americans tend to be poorer: a 2016 analysis of births in New York City found that ‘black college-educated mothers who gave birth in local hospitals were more likely to suffer severe complications of pregnancy or childbirth than white women who never graduated from high school’.
Even global tennis superstar Serena Williams is not immune: in February 2018 she revealed that she had almost died following an emergency C-section. African American women also have higher rates of caesarean section and a 2015 study from Connecticut found that – even when controlling for socio-economic status – black women were more than twice as likely to have to return to hospital in the month following surgery. So Wray’s research could be transformative here. But it looks like we aren’t going to see the fruits of her labour any time soon. When Wray discovered that the British Medical Research Council was offering funding for research that would benefit low- and middle-income countries, she decided to apply. And yet, despite all the data about how dangerous weak contractions can be, she was turned down. The research was ‘not a high enough priority’. So currently we have only one treatment for womenwith weak contractions, and it doesn’t work half the time. Compare this, Wray says, to the around fifty drugs available for heart failure."

Elephants crossing the street
Love the one on the end going “Thanks, that’s the last of us”
ok but like, you know they’ve probably seen humans do that after holding up traffic.
I honestly legitimately think that 100% was meant to be a “yes sorry we held you up we’re done now” signal, because they’ve seen humans do the same and they want to be polite.
Cat purrs loudly whenever she snuggles her kittens. (via kristipaintsorlando)
Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god
Outside of being absolutely adorable and just showing pure love for it’s baby I wonder if snuggle purrs also help with healing and growth because cat purrs are like at a perfect decimal, this weird fact
And also that would mean it wants its baby to be strong so it’s purring harder and I’m definitely not crying because this is so cute.
The teeny “meep” at the beginning has me in tears
How about:
"Columbia's medical association came under fire for endorsing that women in a vegetative state be forced to be used to incubate the fetuses of other people, and delivered a public apology following backlash."
"forced to apologize"
"being accused"
"have babies"
"surrogate mothers"
fuck you James Badcock, fuck you Columbia medical association, and fuck The Telegraph for publishing this garbage.
I want to talk to radfems who support the idea of a woman's shelter which excludes trans women, and ask them how such an exclusion will be enforced without hurting cis women.
This is serious, I want to ask in good faith, because I cannot imagine any method of determination that does not make it significantly harder for a cis woman to access the shelter in the process. Is someone at the front looking at a woman's face and body and going by vibes to determine whether they're cis or trans? Cis people are going to be kicked out that way. Are they going to require a birth certificate? No one is going to be able to access the shelter, period. Are they going to do genital inspections? Few people are going to want to go through that, cis or trans, especially if they're seeking shelter from sexual violence. Background checks? Congratulations, you're violating the privacy of the people who most badly need it.
Maybe there are cis women who are willing to go through background checks or genital inspections if that's what it costs to be separated from trans women, but not everyone cares about that separation, and especially not everyone is willing to go through those. Do these women just slip through the cracks? Are we fine with these women not getting the help they need? Is that the price we're willing to pay?
how do you, personally, feel about shelters that exclude women and girls who are deeply traumatised by males and cannot use a shelter or service that permits males who identify as women? are you ok with excluding those women and girls from services they desperately need, just so males can access every single shelter they want to? because keep in mind, radfems are not saying that no shelters should accept males - we are simply asking to be allowed to exclude them in some places.
the vancouver rape shelter? every other shelter in vancouver fully accepted males who identify as women. they served males, they simply did not want to hire one as a therapist and lost their funding for it. jkr's resource centre in edinburgh? every other shelter and resource centre for abused women in edinburgh accepts males.
I feel the same that I feel about shelters that would exclude women and girls who are deeply traumatized by by Latino people and cannot use a shelter or service that permits Latino people.
Should a rape shelter be shut down for refusing to accept Latinos? Personally I would say yes (if they refuse to change their policy) even though I'm fairly strongly in support of rape shelters existing for those who need it.
except males oppress female people (that's the basis of patriarchy). women and girls having spaces that excludes males is more akin to latinos having spaces that exclude white people. or do you think members of an oppressing group should have free access to any space created by the oppressed group to discuss or manage the harms of their oppression?
Your race and ethnic background do not inherently increase your likelihood of committing sexual assault, nor increase your ability to commit sexual assault. Not so with males. We know who commits the vast majority of violent and sexual crime and we know why it’s easier for them to hurt women than the other way around.
I have a really simple idea for how this can be enforced: respect from trans women.
All women are asking is that trans women respect our boundaries. We want to be able to say “we’d like this place to be female-only”, and have everyone of the male sex respect that and back off.
Why is it that whenever female-only spaces are brought up, it’s always assumed that there must be some sort of harmful heavy duty security measures put in place to ensure males don’t get in, instead of suggesting that males respect women and our boundaries? Is it because you know that so many males, especially trans women, have little respect for women and refuse to accept our “no”s as “no”?
If trans women wanted to set up a shelter specifically for trans women, the same principle would apply. How would they enforce this, without potentially harming other trans women? Well, it would be assumed and expected that everyone else stayed in their own lane and accepted that this space wasn’t for them, right? So why is this so hard to do for women?
Instead of constantly pulling the tired “so you want to do genital checks?!” card, how about you ask yourself why that’s your first thought, instead of the obvious answer, which is assuming and expecting that the kind and gentle trans women who’d never even think of harming women would just respect female boundaries.
Because by asking the question you’re asking, you’re admitting that you know trans women can’t take no for an answer when it comes from women. You’re admitting that they will disrespect the boundaries we set and that we cannot trust them to be honest. You’re essentially saying, “males will enter female spaces whether you want them to or not, so what are you going to do about it?”
Also 99.9% of the time humans are incredibly good at discerning the sex of other humans.
Women fought incredibly hard to open our own refuges for other women experiencing domestic abuse and rape. In the UK, the first refuge was opened in Chiswick, west London in 1971 by a group of women who bought a dilapidated house and filled it with mattresses and spread the news by word of mouth. That’s what we had to do for a long time until we could actually make bids to governments to fund services for women and girls experiencing male violence. Trans women can make their own fucking shelters if they’re so at risk and “cis” women are oh so scary and mean. They need to get up and do the work just like we did, and stop expecting everything to be handed to them just because they’re entitled males.
The first women's shelters were ILLEGAL. Cops would drag battered women and children they found back to their abusers, to whom they belonged, like other stolen property.
Women risked their lives, livelihoods, and freedom to save each other from men. Women working to save other women do not need to be lectured by men about how to properly do women's own work so that it also benefits men.
OP, you would have no problem at all if trans people opened shelters for trans people only (and neither would we). Pull your head out of your ass, for fuck’s sake. Stop playing dumb, stop ignoring what you can plainly see and hear about with your own eyes and ears. You KNOW men have oppressed women for thousands of years. You KNOW that rape and forced pregnancy and physical violence are the main tools men use to keep women down. You know that female-only shelters are needed. You have allowed yourself to become willfully blind because you want to be seen as “on the right side”. Ask yourself who really benefits if women have nowhere we can go to talk with one another, hide with one another, or heal with one another without male presence.

I’m so glad this info graphic is going around, because so many people don’t realize how ageism and misogyny play hand in hand and how the sexualization of young girls play into this.

I’m so sick of the idea that we have to be in perfectly good moods at all times especially on our fucking periods. I’m not going to be nice while blood is pouring out from me and my cramps are killing me and my sensory issues get worse and the headaches and entire body aches and disrupted sleep and irritability I’m so sick of the expectation that during a period we should just carry on as normal
