me, re: sex
How I feel before sex…
…How I feel during sex…
…And how I feel after sex:
this girl in my class
is basically copying an entire tumblr onto her pinterest. to clarify, it’s not her own tumblr, it’s just a tumblr.
writing a paper or something
and I used the word “insightful” but I accidentally spelled it as “inciteful” and I’m pretty sure it was a freudian slip because this paper is more “inciteful” of inner fury for me than it is “insightful” of the Magnuson Stevens Fisheries Conversation Act.
I was sitting in class today
and realized that instead of talking about what should happen to a woman who gets pregnant from a rape, politicians should be talking about preventing rape all together, and then i wondered why none of the politicians have thought about it that way.
It’s because we still live in a very male-oriented society in which women is actually somewhat feared. We’re told that going up to talk to women is the scariest thing on the world, we’re told that showing our feelings (just like women do all of the time) is a HUGE no-no, and then we’re told that women are either prudes or sluts, with no distinction in between. We love women, but we’re also almost trained to fear them.
And here’s the biggest thing to fear, the thing that has probably led to control over women throughout history: You ALWAYS know who the mother is, you DON’T always know who the father is. Yes, it would be SO MUCH better if we could all just trust each other and not cheat, but it sadly does happen.
Rape is about a lot of things, but mostly it’s about power and control. The same sick form of power and control that politicians get (Though to a lesser extent than rape, I’m definitely not comparing the two. Rape is freaking terrible.) when they try to control abortions or birth control or prenatal health screenings, etc.
“Rape” is still a very dirty word in the subconscious minds of modern male culture, because it gives women immediate power. Not too long ago, even just like the 50’s or the 60’s, no one in the police force or the politician’s office or what have you took rape seriously because they thought it was, essentially, the women changing her mind after the fact. And while no women are that sinister in real life (save for the occasional psychopath), you just have to remember that men subconsciously fear you. So, deep within the Freudian recesses of the male mind, it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility that a woman would do that.
And that tiny spark out doubt has created our modern rape culture. A culture that shames the victim more than the rapist. A culture that simultaneously freaks out if you have more than one sexual partner in your life, but also freaks out if you don’t. A culture in which “Feminist” is a VERY dirty word. It conjures up images of misandry, of burning bras, of gruff, unshaved women. That’s why many modern Feminists prefer to use the term “Equalist”. It means the same thing but it doesn’t conjure up those thoughts.
I really hope that there comes a day, possibly in my lifetime, when we can have true gender equality and stop this idiotic rape culture. Women aren’t scary, they’re people.
OH WAIT YOU GUYS WE HAD IT WRONG THE WHOLE TIME! The government doesn’t HATE women, they FEAR us! OH WHAT SCARY CREATURES US WOMEN ARE. Rape is just a way to make us less scary don’t ya know?!
Nevermind y’all. This dude has it all figured out.

Somewhere in the world there's a hippie music festival themed porn named boner-roo, right?
Surely someone cashed in on that name?
one i accidentally applied to a job with a resume titled "lolresume" (didn't get it) and another time i accidentally emailed a paper out to my class titled "butts to the max"
i would like to save butts to the max to my desktop.
wait is this flirting?
because I’m kind of just being a dick but it’s coming off as flirting.
this probably wont stop me from picturing you as sassy gay friend though
i will never change my avatar on tumblr because thats how i picture myself on tumblr too.
Oh my god do you have a date set for your wedding?
don’t be anon! and we don’t have a concrete date set yet, but we’re shooting for june of 2013. I don’t have my heart set on any special june date, so I’m open to just taking whatever date the venue of our choice has available. Although, ideally, when I used to arbitrarily plan my wedding, I used to just pick the first of any given month because I figure it would be easier to remember for future anniversaries. like, June first is easier to remember than, say, june 17 because it’s the first. But I’d rather have the place I want in the month I want on a weird number day than have to settle on some other place just for a more convenient date.
Although, for our little wedding before CJ deployed we got married on march 12, and I can remember that through this weird math equation:
our date was 3/12/11, which can be like, 3-1=2, 2-1=1. All the numbers of our date, in order, in a convenient little way (convenient for me at least) to remember.
awwwwww lookit u ur so pretty

(Also, for anyone who didn’t know, I am the one on the left not holding the cup. The cup-holder is my FAB housemate Megan)
Reblog this if you're at work now trying to give a shit but absolutely can't.
that too. people just use and depict that quote incorrectly ALL THE TIME
You know, I have to say, any time I read that quote, I never really took it as being pro or anti religion. I always took it as like, an observation and as a piece of info to use for good or evil.
Like, you know the part in anchorman where that girl is like “I have a piece of information you can choose to use or not use: Ron will read anything you put up on the TelePrompTer, and when I say anything, I mean eh-neh-theh-nguh” and then Veronica corningstone decides to do the whole “go fuck yourself San Diego”?
Thats kind of how I took this quote when ever I read it. Like Marx was saying that religion is the opiate of the masses, and you can manipulate the masses (for good or bad, unity or division, destroying or creating a govt etc etc) with religion. And then ending the quote with, but editing it out later, ‘im just sayin..’
I totally see how it can be taken all sorts of wrong ways, but that’s how I always saw the quote. Although, admittedly, I hadn’t seen it in its original context until recently.
“Religion is the opium of the masses.”
—
Karl Marx (via different-path)
People always use this quote, but have no bloody idea what Marx meant by it.
MARX DIDN’T COMPLETELY HATE RELIGION
(via brosephstalin)I always thought it was opiate and not opium…?
