“… the socialization of boys regarding masculinity is often at the expense of women. I came to realize that we don’t raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women (or gay men). We teach boys that girls and women are “less than” and that leads to violence by some and silence by many. It’s important for men to stand up to not only stop men’s violence against women but, to teach young men a broader definition of masculinity that includes being empathetic, loving and non-violent.”
— Don McPherson, former NFL quarterback, feminist and educator (via howtodresswell)

May have already reblogged this but, when in doubt, reblog.

mydaguerreotypeboyfriend: The recent discovery of an unpublished D.H. Lawrence letter proves that he’s got your back, ladies. Writing in response to a misogynistic 1924 article titled “The Ugliness of Women,” Lawrence lay down the law:  The hideousness {the author] sees is the reflection of himself, and of the automatic meat-lust with which he approaches another individual…Even the most “beautiful” woman is still a human creature. If {the author] approached her as such, as a being instead of as a piece of lurid meat, he would have no horrors afterwards.  Thank you D.H. Lawrence, meat-lust warrior. (h/t Jezebel) I think my new favorite phrase is “meat-lust.”

“You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn’t doing anyone any favors, least of all you. Insulting a woman’s looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on your part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she’s ugly, but everyone else thinks you’re an idiot.”

I think it’s time to kill for our women

Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can’t make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one

Nicki Minaj casually dismantles sexism while applying her eyeliner

This was, legitimately, my very first impression of Nicki Minaj. And this is the reason why, to this day, I have the utmost respect for her, even though I don’t like all of her music.

I watch this every time it pops up my dash and it never stops being excellent.

Dammit, dont make me like you Nicki 

(Also seriously Mary you could be her stunt double)

I’m not a huge fan of hers, but this video definitely made me like her a bit more.

New found respect..

I hate how speaking out about this makes us feel like we’re being irrational or “stupid”. NO, you don’t sound stupid!
