It’s humiliating. A new ammendment we vote on declaring that I am equal under the law to a man. I am mortified to discover there is reason to believe I wasn’t before. I am a citizen of this country, I am not a special subset in need of your protection. I do not have to have my rights handed down to me by a bunch of old white men. The same article fourteen that protects you protects me and I went to law school just to make sure. And with that, I’m going back down to the mess, because I thought I may have seen there, a peach.

TW: RAPE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Honestly, I always feel like white people can’t shock me anymore by the depths to which they sink in order rationalize their racism but they still always manage. Always. Without fail. Endlessly.

MARK WAHLBERG HAS TWO OSCAR NOMINATIONS

SEAN PENN HAS AN OSCAR

So no, unless you’re a black man, the academy and the rest of the entire fucking world doesn’t give a fuck if you beat or rape a woman or girl. And this is really fucking rich coming from a guy who raped Anna Faris on screen for a joke. But he’s white so it’s ok. And hilarious.

my-tender-heart / dolphinlegs / foreversupergay:

This is from the slut walk. One of the arguments is that girls ask for rape because they wear slutty clothes, short skirts, tight, low-cut tops. This girl is an example of the fact that rape victims can look like anyone, you, me, this girl. Rapists. Dont. Discriminate.

I promised a long time ago that I’d reblog this whenever I saw it on my dash. No regrets, it breaks my heart every single time.

an incredibly important message, rape is rape. no one is ever asking for it. a woman has the right to dress how ever they want - it is society that identifies risque dressing as ‘asking for it’, and in my opinion, that way of thinking needs to be diminished.

people need to stop spending so much time on the victims and start these boys how to treat girls. you cant just go and rape them. that makes you weak. you have to force someone to have sex with you , what does that say about you ?

I reblog this every time too. this is my third reblog I think.

I wrote my final essay on victim blaming last year, and mentioned the slutwalks.
