Yes, privileged people are often times more likely to listen to someone else speaking about oppression if they look like them and have the same privileges. This somehow gives their opinions more "credibility", which essentially means, "I don't value the opinions or rights of people I see as less than me".  That doesn't make it any less annoying. And no, this is not something we want. I don't want you to respect my humanity just because someone else you think has more credibility than I do told you to. And that also doesn't mean that privileged person deserve cookies and praise for essentially saying the same thing that oppressed people have been saying for centuries. I'm lookin' at you Tim Wise... It's great when allies speak up and support marginalized people to encourage equality. But it's important to speak up, not over. Uplift the voices of the people you aim to support so that other privileged people can hear them. It's not about you. Too many "allies" forget this. And I think that's the big issue with the #HeForShe campaign and people like Tim Wise. Don't be Macklemore and hog the mic. Take the mic because you can, and then pass it to someone who's more qualified to speak. 

Thank you! :D

I mean we were in bed and there had been some kissing, but at that moment nothing was really happening.

my hair would never appear that tame. also, i dyed it back to brown. i had the right color and length hair for a bw cosplay and then i went and fucked it all up by trying to go back to my natural color. lol

I wish this was me. Not because of the stripping, but just because the writing is so good.

I was so disappointed this year, at least I got chocolate.
