Three cheers for these guys [x]

This is how to be a good ally.

Using their Bro-ness for good, not evil

So a tiny story: on Black Friday a few weeks ago I went to Gamestop to buy my brother a game for Christmas, and I noticed this older man was watching me like a hawk. He was loitering around the front of the store without really buying anything, and every time I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye he was looking at me. I went to look at the PS4 games, and he was looking at something right behind me. I checked out the Nintendo games, and he was looking at them too. I was the only woman in the store, by the way.

By the time I got in line to pay he was loitering at the front of the store again, and I just had that feeling that he was going to try and take the game I just bought, or steal my purse, as soon as I left the store. OR, he was going to try and follow me home. And I know I don’t have to explain that terror to any woman reading this, but all I could think was that I’m in this Gamestop alone with at least twenty other men and something is about to happen. I’m beginning to freak out, to the point where I’ve just pulled my pepper spray out of my purse and into the pocket of my coat. 

So there I am, next in line to pay, and there is this GIGANTIC dudebro right behind me, and I say gigantic as a 6 foot tall woman. He says, “Ma’am? Don’t be offended, but would it be alright if I walked you to your car?” and I was like “Are you serious?” and he was like “There are some weird guys in here right now. Have you noticed that guy watching you?” and then I showed the dudebro the pepper spray in my pocket and he was like “Right on. Would you still let me walk you to your car?” and I said yes.

So I paid, and waited while HE paid, and he walked me to my car. And just as I was getting in, the weird guy who’d been loitering came out of the store, saw me and my dudebro, and turned around and walked away in the opposite direction. 

In short: men who recognize that women are unsafe in dark alleys, college campuses, grocery stores, gas stations and retail stores and do something about it are the kind of quality men that this world needs more of.

Please for the love of god yes.

When people ask me why I care about cultural appropriation:

And turn it into this.

Or take what is a racist caricature of a Black Bodies,

image

And turn it into this while be praised for it.

image

Or when Black women get mocked for their lips and Skin:

image
image

But Kylie Jenner can be praised for doing this:

image
image

Or when White people and celebrities can do this:

image
image

But women like this are seen as ugly (even in their own communities) or a called terrorists by others:

Things like that causes things like this:

Phoebe and Monica get arrested at a suffragette rally. Rachel goes on a date with H.P. Lovecraft and is not familiar with his work. Ross dies of influenza. Joey and Chandler make love in a World War I foxhole.

Ross dies of influenza

Why would Ross die of influenza? He’s the only one in the group who has any grasp of science and has a PhD. He’s incredibly smart and would be the last one to die because he would know how to take care of himself and actually have knowledge about diseases.

im screaming the plague isn’t gonna bypass you if you have a degree in paleontology

Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?

I am so scared right now what the fuck does this terrifying comment have to do with anything else that’s been discussed on the post at all

In honor of Britney Spears’ birthday, I want to remind everyone that this woman was publically ostracized for struggling with the onset of mental illness, divorce, and loosing custody of her children after years of media scrutiny and hypersexualization starting at the age of 17. No, she is not just a crazy woman who shaved her head. She’s the victim of an industry that loves to build a woman up before tearing her down.
