fuckyeahfeminists: rhrealitycheck: Did you know that pregnant...

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:12:58 -0400

rhrealitycheck:

Did you know that pregnant women have been fired for using the bathroom to vomit, needing to carry a water bottle on the job, or asking to sit on a stool instead of standing in place all day? While employers have to make allowances like these for other types of temporary disabilities, a number of bad court decisions have encouraged them to feel they can get away with firing or mistreating pregnant workers with impunity.

It’s disgraceful and unacceptable that at a time when unnecessary budget cuts are decimating food, medical, and educational supports for low-income families, pregnant women continue to be pushed out of their jobs just as they take on all the expenses of having a new baby.

Read more about the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
and take action by contacting your congressperson.

This is unacceptable. Pregnant workers need more protection. With a child coming up they need employment more than ever. Please contact your rep.

17. i have not laughed until i cried this year. im not really a cry-laugh person. like when i laugh, im not also crying…

29. I CANNOT WAIT TO GRADUATE.

55. my first hookup was with charlie and it was really fun, actually.

65. would i get married? of course. i would love to get married. companionship is ideal for me. but i think that i dont want to get married too soon, which i wouldnt have said a year ago.

71. romantic or spontaneous is hard. and they aren’t mutually exclusive. so…both.

87. i 100% do believe in miracles. yes.

92. i believe in angels, i guess. its complicated.

95. i sang today. i sang “will you light my candle” all around kroger for a good 20 minutes. and that was just a cappella. i sing along in my car all day every day.

robo—cunt: lacigreen: this exhibit looks fking AMAZING!...

lacigreen:

this exhibit looks fking AMAZING! i wish i could see it.
i want to focus on one piece that i’ve been getting a lot of email about:

There has been some confusion about the G-Spot and the fact that people orgasm without touching the (external) clitoris.

I think what Cliteracy is getting at is that the vagina itself does not cause orgasm. The orgasmic feelings coming from vaginal penetration are caused by the indirect stimulation of the internal clitoris (the clitoris is much larger than the little nub above the vagina!)

as well as the pleasurable glands surrounding the urinary tract (the sea-weedy looking things).

This pleasurable area, located 1-2 inches inside of the vagina on the wall closest to your bellybutton, is commonly called “The G Spot”. Some people can orgasm from it, others can’t. Having a really intense G-Spot orgasm is on the less common side. What is common is orgasm from proper stimulation of the external clitoris, so don’t neglect it! :)

(Check out the CLITical Thinking episode on Sex+ for more info on the clit! The male and female “G-Spots” will be covered soon.)

Ah man, this shit looks awesome!

(and it’s nice to see a different view of the g-spot cause those orgasms are so goooooddd!)

A Daddy’s Letter to His Little Girl (About Her Future Husband)

Dear Cutie-Pie,

Recently, your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google. Halfway through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. Perched at the top of the list was “How to keep him interested.”

It startled me. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.

And I got angry.

Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to “keep him interested.”

Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn’t rattled by rejection and loss and ego—that you are worthy of interest. (If you can remember that everyone else is worthy of interest also, the battle of your life will be mostly won. But that is a letter for another day.)

If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the word: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.

Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn’t need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting:

I don’t care if he puts his elbows on the dinner table—as long as he puts his eyes on the way your nose scrunches when you smile. And then can’t stop looking.

I don’t care if he can’t play a bit of golf with me—as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you.

I don’t care if he doesn’t follow his wallet—as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you.

I don’t care if he is strong—as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart.

I couldn’t care less how he votes—as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of reverence in his heart.

I don’t care about the color of his skin—as long as he paints the canvas of your lives with brushstrokes of patience, and sacrifice, and vulnerability, and tenderness.

I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion—as long as he was raised to value the sacred and to know every moment of life, and every moment of life with you, is deeply sacred.

In the end, Little One, if you stumble across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common:

You.

Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to “keep him interested” is to be you.

Your eternally interested guy,

Daddy

I’m actually crying. I hope guys like this exist. And dads too. The shadow of Father’s Day is approaching and I get all emotional and angry and shit >.<

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.

I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.

A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?

It is a big deal because i’m a transman.

It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.

Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.

At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.

At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.

TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

"In the 101 top-grossing family films…from 1990 to 2004, of the over 4,000 characters in these films,..."

Tue, 14 May 2013 19:08:59 -0400

“In the 101 top-grossing family films…from 1990 to 2004, of the over 4,000 characters in these films, 75% overall were male, 83% of characters in crowds were male, 83% of narrators were male, and 72% of speaking were male. When the American Psychological Association commented on this research, they said, ‘This gross under-representation of women or girls in films with family-friendly content reflects a missed opportunity to present a broad spectrum of girls and women in roles that are non-sexualised.’”

sad-teeth:

So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.
