Like there is real transgenderism which is a serious condition that needs the correct treatment (hormones, transitioning, etc). Kids who are genuinely trans need help from therapists and parents.

But as transgender is coming out and people are getting awareness political groups are abusing the condition and trying to make it a statement, this is leading to a misunderstanding of what trans really is.

And if it’s any consolation a report recently came out that 70% of Americans don’t care for PC or alt right culture. The ones who DO are upper class white liberal arts college people. And that’s only 8% of the population. So you don’t have to homeschool your child.

I remember when I first heard of Lysistrata almost a decade ago and thought, that sure is about some power-wielding women.

Y’all correct me if I’m wrong but

Calling someone with autism out for being wrong or being an asshole is not ableist.

From my understanding ableism is when you pick on someone for having autism, not just calling someone out for something.

Having autism shouldn’t excuse you from being an asshole.

u know i’m watching hp6 right now and the fact that in the half blood prince’s book said “sectumpsempra; for enemies” gives so much fuckin meaning when harry uses it on draco. like harry and draco aren’t enemies, sure they are on different sides of the war, but draco was never ever harry’s enemy. the fact that harry almost immediately regrets using the spell on draco shows confirms that they aren’t ever enemies since harry broke the “rule” stated in the book. this shows how complex and dynamic harry and draco’s relationship is.

y’all ever wonder why half the beauty/cosmetics industry is geared towards anti-aging but they market almost none of it to men. i’ve never seen an ad for wrinkle cream for men, or age spot corrector for men, or youth serum for men, or crows feet treatment for men, like why are they allowed to age in peace but women aren’t. why can’t I just get fuckin old without every corner of every drugstore telling me it’s bad

That’s because women are socially allowed to care about aging, while men are not.

That’s why balding men are made fun of and products catering to them are seen as pathetic.

You teach your kids to fear everything. And when they get older, they are too afraid to get a house of their own because they don’t know how to be an adult. They become afraid of making the wrong decisions. You can’t expect your children to act like adults when you’ve protected them their whole life and didn’t teach them what they need to know. You’re either going to raise someone to be insecure and fearful, or you’re going to raise a rebel that walks all over you. Kids need balance. Kids need to be given the opportunity to make mistakes they can learn from. And they deserve a parent that will guide them through it, not for you to put a blindfold over their eyes. I get that you’re trying to help them; You’re not. You have taught your children to rely on you. You didn’t let them make mistakes. Now they don’t even take opportunities if they are uncertain of the outcome.

Currently reading about the islamic conquests/invasions

of india, and learning about how we were done so wrong, like really? you really gonna call islam a religion of peace after all that death and destruction? This is only something I started reading about this year and it’s really eye opening guys. I find it interesting how it’s never a topic muslims talk about..

Even in India a lot of people downplay or sometimes don’t cover it at all in schools for fear of “offending Muslims”

But the British atrocities and the caste based oppression are fine and won’t offend Christians or Hindus.

And they take offence when bigots call all Muslims terrorists? Theyre kind of doing the same thing because only a terrorist would hear “oppressor” and think “that’s me.”

It’s important to tell girls that they do not need to be sexual in order to be loved and respected. And it’s equally important to tell girls that as human beings they have bodily autonomy and can do whatever they see fit to do with their own person.

If you give one of these messages and not the other then you’re giving the incomplete truth. 

From the perspective of someone who grew up in and left a religious family, I feel it’s also important to tell girls sex and virginity isn’t the most precious/special/important thing you can give a man. There are so many more worthwhile and significant things women have to offer a man/their partners. Being raised in a religious muslim family where your virginity is meant to be kept for 1 man and 1 man only and treated like it’s some kind of gift offering is pretty gross and I feel like it can really mess up how young girls and women view their bodies and mess with their self worth. It could even be detrimental to a point where a woman may put her comfort second to a mans sexual desire because she’s taught that his need is more important which is bullshit.

Don’t pressure girls to have sex but also don’t shame girls for NOT having sex.

As long as she’s over 18 what she does isn’t of any consequence to anyone.
