Do you think there are animals that identify as having a “human soul”?
Unlikely, because:
* (I’m guessing) there are way less non-human animals, of any and all species, that are mentally retarded or prone to mental illnesses
* in such instances where a non-human animal is a real loony-bin candidate (whatever that would mean in the case of his/her/zir...

So it’s homophobic to cast Lucy Liu as Watson because then there won’t be gay subtext.
Oh. Okay, so it’s not homophobic when producers give a wink-wink-nod and fetishize gay people, when we exist as long as we don’t have sex, when we exist only as something to be laughed about but never stated?
That’s harmful. When gay people are only on...

An introductory guide to "Tumblr Feminism" Part 1.
vegetarianlyfe:
Welcome, one and all! If you’re reading this, congratulations! You’re about to embark on a wonderful journey I like to call “Tumblr Feminism.” It’s my hope that, one day, all “Tumblr feminists” will be required to read this upon creating a tumblr and interacting with the wonderful Social Justice community we have on tumblr!
(Please note: if you are a fourth-wave feminist or...

No, a fucking punch in the face is violence, and something I feel these word-wreckers should experience at some point.
“CO2 is a pollutant? Tell that to the plants.”

Yet another example of willfully ignorant being brought to it’s absolute apex.
We’re currently pumping about 90 million tons of carbon emissions into the air every day. This creates the conditions that lead to global warming, and the seriousness...

Uncutting: View on Circumcision. →
happaning:
Why are people still supportive of circumcision?? I’m surprised that in our movement, especially, one that is all about identity and self, that this isn’t a bigger issue. Plus, it has roots in religion. Just as assigning gender or choosing a sex at birth (if one is born intersex)…

I think that is one of humanities greatest fears. Not leaving a mark on this planet.
I think that’s what spawns these weird communities of people that really need to have something special about them because they haven’t created that in their own identity they need to find their identity in something else that makes them special.

meganphntmgrl:
Victim-blaming: it’s not a totally assault-related phenomenon.
Yes, they do often question what murder victims were wearing, if they unknowingly trespassed on gang territory wearing the wrong colors. Yes, they do tell people who’ve been mugged “well, you shouldn’t’ve walked there” or “it’s your fault for carrying money.”
Same. Damn. Thing.
Yep, “victim blaming”...

The Harry Potter series of films generally only wins awards when they’re decided by the viewership as opposed to an actual body of critics.
They’re decent films, but they’re not the best. Just because they ~inspired a generation~ doesn’t mean they’re the best films ever, because, like it or not,…

All I do is reblog amusing otherkin quotes. What has my life become??
s1utever:
Has anyone done a study of otherkin to see how many of them are Homestuck fans because that would really say a lot and I think it should happen even though I’m pretty sure I already know what the results would show.
Tumblr has ruined the oscars for me. I just keep thinking “tumblr would find that racist/sexist/problematic” and it makes me worried about the direction the Internet is moving.

Open message to people who call abortion...
princessnaphthalene:
Let’s face it, people. Some of us don’t mind killing babies. Since it’s all the same to you, I guess we could just wait until it’s born and THEN I can kill it. Does that make you feel better?
Oo, maybe we could eat unwanted newborn babies. Come on, we’d be ending abortion AND feeding the hungry! Who could possibly have anything against that?

I’ve always seen myself as a feminist, or at least I have since I grew out of my “boys are icky” phase. The definition of feminism that I went by is: “the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.” I guess it would be more accurate to define myself as an egalitarian as I am concerned with all instances of inequality, not just those relating to gender, but...

some people are misandrists. and this is okay. When you joke about misandry you’re either
dismissing a person’s feelings by assuming that they stem only from a hatred of men, and hold no further value/importance (which also invalidates the importance of feelings that do stem from a hatred of men).
you’re joking about misandry because you find the concept of “man...
