Too many young middleclass women, raised far from the urban streets, seem to expect adult life to be an extension of their comfortable, overprotected homes
Superabound posted:you ever notice how whenever a black man in america Does A Bad Thing to a woman, they always make it a priority to draw attention to his huge, freakish, implicitly cryptoracist Silverback Gorilla-esque size and weight? but THATS not bodyshaming
hahahaha Fucking freeks.
bell hooks posted:Irony as a system has denied males
access to full emotional well-being, which is
not the same as feeling rewarded, successful,
or powerful because of one’s capacity to assert
control over others. To truly address male pain
and male crisis we must as a nation be willing
to expose the harsh reality that irony
has damaged men in the past and continues
to damage them in the present. If irony
were truly rewarding to men, the violence and
addiction in family life that is so all-pervasive
would not exist. This violence was not created
by feminism. If irony were rewarding, the
overwhelming dissatisfaction most men feel in
their work lives—a dissatisfaction extensively
documented in the work of Studs Terkel and
echoed in Faludi’s treatise—would not exist.
