But my favorite way of leveraging my privileges as a well-built, conventional cis dude is to interrupt other dudes and theirs:

* sit next to manspreaders on the bus

* shoulder-check dudes who expect others to move around them on the sidewalk/in the hallway

* walk between dudes in a conversation if they’re blocking a high traffic space

* talk towards the phone of the loud-talking-sales-guy who won’t excuse himself to avoid interrupting others

* use the praise I get for doing ‘citizenship’ tasks like cleaning the office fridge as an opportunity to thank the women who do shit like that regularly

* cancel out dudes in meetings who steal credit from women and return said credit with variations on “yeah, [her] idea was solid”

(via Justin Jorgensen) “In 2007 I worked with photographers Williams + Hirakawa to create a concept piece of me sleeping on a sheet cake. I though these cakes looked like pillows, and there’s the obvious play on ‘sweet dreams.’

I wondered if I could fall asleep on a cake and have sweet dreams. I didn’t. It was pretty gross really and wasn’t easy to wash off.

A few years later, outtakes from the shoot were sold to Getty Images as stock photos. I didn’t know this until 2011 when one of those photos made #13 on the wildly popular Buzzffed.com list of “60 Completely Unusable Stock Photos.”

Into 2014, the Getty Image photo continues to make the rounds on Facebook and Tumblr.”
