…….What? How? How does this have anything to do with gender? Last time I checked, there were black men and black women in this world. What an idiot…
I’m sorry but…
WHAT? One, there are “dark” men too. Second, what in the fuck does that have to do with feminism?
…What?

yes there are obviously black men, but who do you think skin lightening products are targeted at? she’s saying that to appeal to beauty standards in the us (which are set by white people, but also by men) that a lot of women use skin whitening cream, and are encouraged to use it. which is so, so fucked up. if you think racism and sexism aren’t closely intertwined idk what to tell you
Exactly. Women of color are told they’re undesirable, or that their only redeeming traits are their ass, thighs, curves, or breasts, because the standards for beauty have set by white misogynists who dehumanize and festishize WOC. They’ll tell you to put these harmful chemicals on your skin and take your dollar, but they won’t take your ass.
The fact that skin lightening products are sold means that there is a demand for people who want lighter skin because they have been rejected and condemned for their bodies.
DO YOU FUCKING PEOPLE ACTUALLY NOT SEE THE HARMFUL CORRELATION BETWEEN THIS SHIT.
I’m so fucking embarrassed by my fellow white feminists. You racist “feminists” are a fucking joke. If you can’t see how racist beauty standards are relevant to feminism then you can gtfo.

Tim Lambesis of Christian metal band As I Lay Dying was arrested Tuesday night in a murder-for-hire plot. Apparently, he did the nice Christian thing and tried to hire a hitman to MURDER his wife, who was filing for divorce. More like As I Lazily Lay on the Couch While Someone Else Does My Dirty Work, I guess?
Anyway, what do you do when you hear about the lead singer of this band you like attempted to KILL his ex? Well, YOU BLAME HER BECAUSE SHE’S MOST LIKELY A BITCH WHO PROBABLY DESERVED TO DIE, OF COURSE!
Lots of very opinionated people out there saying “WAIT ‘TIL WE HEAR MORE BEFORE WE BLAME POOR TIM” and then proceeding to jump straight to the conclusion that his wife was somehow a terrible person deserving of death!
“Props dude for having the balls to hire someone else to kill your wife!”
And as usual, when it comes to ANYTHING being discussed on the internet involving a woman…
BLAME THE FEMINISTS.
So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.
Even fucking sadder is that they didn’t even fucking listen to the statements she released- she said publicly that she was undergoing reconstructive surgery at the same time as her mastectomy, and was happy that the results would pretty much look “natural.” She did what was best for her body, her health, and probably her family, too, but all that anyone heard was that she was “cutting off her tits.”
It’s shit like this that makes me wish testicular cancer was more prevalent. And deadly. Maybe then these fuckers would understand the risks a bit more.
Fuck everyone who gives this woman shit for doing such a brave thing.
Disgusted with everything today.
So I recently came across this website, Elite Daily. It calls itself “The Voice of Generation-Y.”
The link I stumbled on was to an article titled “The 10 Things Women Need to Realize in 2013.” OK. Let’s check this out…
OH, BOY. What the fuck is this? The first…
Oh fuck I really wish I hadn’t read that, I literally feel nauseous.

Danish TV Show Features Men Judging Naked Women’s Bodies
Just when we thought we’d heard of every conceivable means of humiliating a woman on TV, along came “Blachman.”
Here’s the premise of this Danish prime-time TV show: a woman enters a room and silently strips in front of the male host and a male guest, who then critique the woman’s body out loud in front of her.
Danish X-Factor judge Thomas Blachman, who hosts the new, eponymous show, claims he doesn’t consider the content problematic. He told the Daily Mail, “[T]he entire idea of the show is to let men talk about the bodies of naked women while the woman is standing right in front of them. The female body thirsts for words. The words of a man.”

Ashley Del Valle is a transgender woman from New York who was arrested in Georgia for indecent exposure after she allegedly showed her breasts, but then was housed in an all-male jail.I just.
You arrest her because her top is too sheer and shows her nipples, something that is only a crime for women.
And then you jail her as a man.
Fucking fuck.
OHMYGOD
Twilight
I cannot express in words how much I loathe this book. This is a direct quote. This is Edward telling Bella it’s her fault vampires want to kill her because of how “delicious” she smells. Sound familiar at all? And then there was the time she was almost gang raped and he reacted by telling her how “only she could find trouble in a town like this; she would have ruined their crime stats.” This is the book that swept the nation. This is the man that had girls/women aged 10 to 40 swooning over him. A victim-blaming abuser. If vampires were real, this quote would be worthy of Project Unbreakable. Translate the concept of blood-drinking to sex, and this IS on Project Unbreakable.

Imagine a woman does a Google search on her own name and up comes a page featuring a naked photo that she sent to an ex-boyfriend. There are links to her Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn account. In the comment thread, anonymous trolls critique every inch of her body. Perhaps her home phone number and address are also included. Say she contacts the local police in tears, only to be told that the post is perfectly legal — or worse, that “boys will be boys.”
This is becoming an increasingly common scenario, activists say, given the proliferation of “revenge porn” and the legal system’s failure to catch up with it.
A new bill in Florida is aiming to remedy that: It would make it a felony to publish online nude photos or videos of a person without their permission and along with identifying information. At the same time, activists around the country are petitioning for both state and federal laws to criminalize what they call “non-consensual porn.” A recent class action lawsuit filed by more than 20 women in Texas against revenge porn site Texxxan.com along with its host GoDaddy has only turned the heat up on the issue.
now this is something that can be legally fought against.
This happened to a middle school teacher of mine and she was humiliated at her job, in her personal life, and online. This shit needs to end.

Go comment-bomb their page now! CNN’s coverage of the Steubenville rape case is DESPICABLE.
(Source: righteouspussypower)
This woman is a law graduate, a paralegal, a human rights campaigner, a model, and most importantly a human being. She was murdered by her Paralympian boyfriend, and Britain’s most popular newspaper runs this as its front page, refuses to use her name and instead refers to her as the man’s ‘lover’.
Fuck you if you don’t think sexism is still a thing. Fuck. You.
hate the disgustingly inappropriate and sexist front page? then sign the petition to have The Sun apologise!
That’s right. I don’t want to draw people of colour. Why? I don’t find them aesthetically pleasing. And no, that doesn’t make me racist. I have nothing against people of colour. I don’t have a problem with them. Some of my best friends are people of colour, and I don’t think any less of them for that.
I just don’t find poc attractive. Kinda like I don’t find big noses or buck teeth attractive. Or curly hair, or bushy eyebrows, or super thin lips, or certain face shapes. Or a lot of Freckles. Or really huge butts. Or ginormous boobs.
I like to draw things that I find attractive or interesting, so that’s what I’ll draw. If it doesn’t fit into what I think is attractive or interesting, I tend not to draw it.
And I don’t have to. So all you “BAH YOU DON’T DRAW POC! YOU RACIST!” people need to stfu. People can draw whatever the fuck they want, and you can’t force them to draw something they don’t want to. They might be racist, they might not. But it doesn’t matter. We all have free will.

Don’t you dare use your friends that are PoC to justify your vile words. We people of color, we do not all look the same but words such as yours, have been used for hundreds of years to demonize our features, to stigmatize us. Congratulations, you are another no good racist artist. - Yazmine
so you find only white people attractive and interesting
nice
that’s not racist at all!
Fuuuuuuck me. Here are some of belle-of-ponderosa’s comments:
“I never said they do all have brown skin. But do they have brown hair or eyes? Probably. People who think hating a colour is stupid: maybe, but it’s actually a psychological issue I have. The colour fucking makes me sick. I hate it. It makes me want to crawl out of my skin.”
“I just don’t find those who possess certain coloring (even people with white skin and brown hair or eyes) pretty.”
“I shouldn’t bother wasting my time talking to people who don’t even understand what racism is and just insult me when they don’t even know me over what I find attractive.”
“I honestly didn’t think people would get butthurt over me not finding features attractive. As for my shitstorm comment? Yeah. This whole thing is fucking amusing. I can’t believe people got so worked up over it. ”
“As for saying I’m somewhat racist: I am. Everyone is. People have little things that they think or feel that they don’t realize is racist. The ways in which I am somewhat racist are like, that I feel much safer walking past a non-native guy at night than a native one. Things like that.”
“Woot. I’m loving the shit storm I caused.”
In response to someone being called out as homophobic: “ Alright, yes she is. So what? Is it right? No. But she’s allowed to be that way. I’m racist in some regards. Is that right? Hell no. but I am, and I have the right to feel that way, just like she has the right to be homophobic. It’s not against the law to be a bigot. As long as she doesn’t go discriminating, it’s a non issue. ”
Edit: She’s deleted her tumblr. Good riddance.
how about if you tried this shit with any “shy girl” you would get maced in the face
I feel slightly nauseous
I am vomiting more at the comments than anything holy fuck I seriously thought this was a giant joke but then you read the comments and are blown away fuck u sir fuck you
what the everloving fuck
It looks like The F Plus has a new submission coming its way.
yeah i am agreeing with one of the above comments, this actually made me nauseous reading it. read at your own risk, jesus fuckin christ
UHM WOW THIS IS DISGUSTING
trigger warning: REALLY AWFUL OPINIONS LIKE WOW GODDAMN
this is one of the creepiest things I’ve seen in a while
but also
“This is not a cool, hip, alpha-dog or “player” thing to say which is why I’m going to say it”absolutely slew me seriously mate are you 60
This article literally needs a trigger warning on it, “You don’t need to keep your hands to yourself and “respect her boundaries”.
What the entire actual fuck did I just read.
“To test her you must touch her. Always touch, touch, touch. When she says “I want to go slow” you will say “Yes, I understand” but you will always be trying to get in. The more she resists the better she is.
You need to be the aggressor. You do not want to be the testicle impaired shoulder to cry on. You want to be the hunter, not the bystander. Every chance you get, every time you are alone you need to make her as turned on as humanly possible. You want her to get wet and flustered. Every time she is able to resist and say “no” when she is hot & bothered is another point in her good girl favor.
It takes time with a shy girl, so have patience. When you finally do get in you’ll have the pleasure of saying, into her ear, “you’re my property now“. Happy hunting, -Victor”
I feel sick.
I want this fucker’s name spread around. I want him to be fired. I want him to get the fucking message that your precious freedom of speech comes with goddamn consequences, and if you are going to write an article encouraging sexual harassment, misogyny, slut-shaming and rape culture, you can expect it to come back and bite you in the ass.
Tangled Up In The Flesh Of A Girl
Some absolutely vile piece of shit just posted this on one of those stupid dickbag “liked” pages (No Hope for Humanity if I’m not mistaken - I don’t follow it but a friend pointed this out to me).
So I screencapped it.
Who should I report this to? What blogs would re-blog this and get this motherfucker called out?
