Batman Beyond is Batman as dictated by the female gaze and nobody can fucking convince me otherwise.

You might want to delete that embarrassing post where you reveal that you have no clue what "radical" means in a political context.

lol who are you and what on earth are you doing reading anti-radscum posts from 2012?

Like the concern trolling is adorable and all but I wasn’t aware I had such dedicated readers and I’m not sure whether to be flattered or creeped out.

Do not message me again.

ok so hear me out, “gaydar” but for bisexuality

BI-FI

“are you getting any Bi-Fi in here” “i only have like two bars of bi-fi” “why is there no bi-fi in here” “the bi-fi signal is great in here”

and my favorite: “what’s the bi-fi password?”

and for pansexuals? PAN-SCAN

Ok seriously fandomsandfeminism spends so much time and energy patiently and gently explaining stuff to soo many people even when their intentions are dubious and there aren't enough reblogs with comments testifying to how amazing that is so here.

Shower thoughts

So, I was in the shower just now and I thought about shaving legs. Not in the sense that I should really shave my legs (although I’m sure some people would think I kinda should…, that’s beside the point), but in the philosophical sense. Why do people shave their legs? Hell, why do I shave my legs?

I came to the conclusion that I shave my legs for one reason: my boyfriend.

Now before all the feminazis jump up and come to early conclusions, shouting ‘That’s oppressive!’ Hold your horses, shut up and read on.

It’s not oppressive at all, and I’ll tell you why. I shave my legs for my boyfriend, but I don’t do it because he asks me to or because he expects me to. He doesn’t. Whenever I shave my legs (which really isn’t very regularly, to be fair) I do it because I choose to do it for him. I make that decision and I do believe he likes it, but he will never ask it of me or expect it of me.

I think that is what feminism is, what freedom is: that choice. The choice to do something that may please someone, but only because you want to do that. If I choose to shave my legs every week, that’s fine. If I choose to do it only once every few months, or hell once a year, that’s fine too.

In Japan, the broccoli in ‘Inside Out’ was replaced with green peppers, which are more universally hated by Japanese children (source)

No, I’m serious, if women all got together and went into electrical engineering or automotive repair en masse, then ten years later people would be talking about how it was a “soft field” and it would pay proportionately less than other fields.

Likewise, if men moved en masse to bedeck themselves in sparkles and make-up, then suddenly you’d get a bunch of editorials talking about how classy they look.

None of these things are inherently masculine or feminine; none of these things inherently elevate you or drag you down. But whatever women are seen to do is automatically seen as being inherently more frivolous than anything men do. And shaming women for not pigeonholing themselves into a narrow range of acceptable “masculine” behaviours is just going to result in the goalposts getting moved once again.

There are more people with eating disorders than there are with green eyes

You have more chance of surviving certain cancers than you do an eating disorder

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate out of any psychiatric illness, largely due to heart failure or suicide

Now tell me it’s a lifestyle choice, a diet, “just a phase”.

i wish there wasn’t such a stigma around being proved wrong, bc it’s a part of life, no one can be right all the time. if we didn’t feel as much shame about it i think a lot of things would change a lot faster

How could you be against free college. Like if I think about student loans for more than a few minutes I think about jumping off a cliff have some pity damn

yep. this is a real thing. it gets worse with trauma.

Hey

Does anyone else have like. Anxiety-related memory problems. Like, after you do something, you start wondering if you messed something up or did something wrong, and you get really anxious over possible mistakes you made and you genuinely can’t remember if you made those mistakes or not?

Like for example maybe you write someone a letter and then after sending it you start imagining you made some terrible mistake and despite the fact that you yourself wrote and proofread and sent it, you can’t remember if you did or not?

It happens to me a l o t and it’s terrible and scary because I can’t trust my own memories when I’m anxious
