"Just as many girls can be immensely harmed by the impossible cultural demands to be pretty, slim princesses, so too are many boys immensely harmed by exhortations to never cry, toughen up and be a man. Please, let our children be children."Stephen Fry (via erraticintrovert)(via pancetta-justice)

"Men are taught to colonize
at the age of 5 through
games like cops and robbers
cowboys and indians
at the age of 8
we are given helmets
and told to hit each other on the head with it
bleed but do not bleed
cut but do not cry
be a man, join the military
die for your country
and if death comes to you
look it in the eye and say:
bring it on, mother-fucker, I fear nothing
but intimacy.
When it comes to intimacy
men quiver like fault line
crumble like cities.
What walking contradictions are we called men…"Mark Gonzales, “As With Most Men” (via czarinna)(via susurrations)

Anonymous asked: I'm putting this on anon because I don't want to seem creepy, because we mutually follow each other and idk, I'm too shy to tell you this "face to face". But I just read your post about you feeling ugly, and I wanted to let you know that you are so SO far from ugly it's almost funny to think of that word in association with you. You're one of the most attractive people I follow on here, inside AND out. Please don't be hard on yourself. You're god damn amazing.
Thanks. But I don’t know, I think if you saw my face right now in person, you’d be like oh he actually kind of does look like a deformed fish-human hybrid baby.

I feel really ugly right now. I don’t know why but I’ve been staring at my face in the mirror a lot today, analyzing every facial feature from nearly every possible angle. And it’s just like wow, my face looks fucking weird. It’s like if a mad scientist fused the genes of a fish with a human and then used that DNA to create an embryo which was then used to impregnate a woman (or a fish..?) and then took the deformed face of the resulting newborn baby and transplanted it onto the skull of an adult human male. That’s what my face looks like. And it’s strange because most days I feel average looking, and I’m content with that, sometimes I even feel above average looking, but today I feel like I must have been delusional to ever think I was anything but ugly. I ended up shaving all my facial hair off, thinking that would help, but now I just look even uglier.

i love how men mock women for being overemotional and then lose their shit over a team losing an over-glorified game of fetch
Because all men like watching sports, obviously, right? You just did what you hate men doing, putting generalizations on a whole gender.
i know i did
irritating, isn’t it?

"My wife challenges injustice, and the reason her character has been so severely attacked is because she chooses not to function the way the white corporate man insists… A big ‘fuck you’ to those of you who have the audacity to claim that I’m so naive and stupid that I would allow myself to be taken advantage of and manipulated."Kurt Cobain, Incesticide Linear Notes (via nihilistic-jerk)(via dexlysic)

"When a man sexually objectifies someone—that is, when he regards another person’s body as a thing, not another self, for the purpose of his own subjective sexual stimulation—he is not terribly likely to be perceptive of what is happening to anyone other than himself. Actually, the man is likely to be completely oblivious to what is happening to the person he is objectifying, because once he objectifies that person—once he reduces the person in his mind to the object he desires—then the person, to him, is by definition not a real subject like himself. If he considers his objectifying to have any effect at all, he may project onto the person a rather asinine reveling in what he is doing; and indeed, the person objectified may be duped into feeling “flattered” at having been singled out for a particular man’s depersonalization—a dubious distinction often confused with being “desired.” But to him, this person is not worth any real empathy at all because this person simply does not exist as someone who could have a valid experience apart from, much less contrary to, his own. “What is happening” is his own sexual arousal, period. Given his subjective self-absorption at this point, in his own mind there is literally no real other self present to whom anything could be happening."Stoltenberg, John. Refusing to Be A Man: Essays on Sex & Justice. UCL Press; London. 1989. (p. 39)

“Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth. And it happens every few minutes, the problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there.” - Kurt Cobain.
