how is a little freak like me supposed to make it in this world
Growing up female is traumatic. From a young age I remember being terrified that I was going to be harrassed because I had developed faster and more obviously than my peers. Even now I shudder at the idea of having to bend over in front of men of any age. I got catcalled twice at 17 by other boys my age. I couldn't drive and I was waiting for my mom to come pick up from school and two boys from inside a car at the pick up line yelled something sexual at me. I will spare you the deals but despite my false bravado and real rage I felt nothing more than embarrassed and ashamed once they had left. I had rumors around my sexual life even before I had a serious relationship of any kind and I had male friends who had found me being sexually innocent funny. The things they'd watch and openly show me was nothing more than disgusting yet the idea of exploring my sexuality and then finding out I was bisexual had me ashamed because I thought that they would be weirded out
I can go on but I won't
Y’all I’m going to vomit. He’s literally claiming that her memories are fake due to a “condition”
Fuck Neil Gaiman. Gaslighting fuckface
The fact that people are claiming that they won’t trust the allegations against Neil Gaiman because the author of the article is “TeRfy” is bullshit. People cry out “support victims” unless the supposedly wrong kind of person calls attention to it. Like fuck man just the age range between Gaiman and his victims is more than enough evidence for me
Goddamnit, I just realized I missed NaNoWriMo :(
Pizza time :)
putting a queue thing here to remind me to bake solstice bread
Vanilla extract should taste better
love how when i get a new interest, i’m like “oh god it’s happening again” and i’m stuck like that for about a week until everything explodes and any interest i’ve had prior is completely dwarfed for an unknown amount of time
I’ve also never really heard a man go “Hope that makes sense” after he’s done talking about something yet most of the women (myself included though I’m trying to break the habit) I know say it all the time even if they’re near experts on what they’re talking about. Men get to exist and have thoughts but we have to have a bunch of disclaimers around it
its rare that you will hear of anyone other than a woman being described as 'opinionated' because a man with an opinion is simply a man but a woman with one is clearly malfuctioning as she defies her programming
