She literally said what the video is about she said it with her words

I’ve had this one sitting in my to-do pile for a while, and was finally galvanized to draw it up after going to a talk around intersections of sex, gender, and race this weekend. The topic of pronouns and terminology came up and the speaker just sort of smirked and said ‘yeah, we all know who wrote the dictionaries, don’t we?’ and I was like YES I HAVE A WHOLE THING ABOUT THAT.
My proudest moment of this comic is that I managed to sneak a penis joke into it.
Relevant!
how hard does this damn tweet go though
So i saw this on twitter
Male student, your unwanted advances and creepy staring are distracting the female students. Go home until you can get yourself together and have some self-control.

There’s a very powerful movement going on right now on the internet that, you know, women are kind of coalition building in a very cool way. I’m talking about #nomakeup. You can search it if you don’t believe me, but some brave women are mustering up all their courage, and they will post a photo onto the internet in which they are wearing no makeup whatsoever. I’m serious. But when they post the photos, they’ll always make a big announcement in the caption, they’ll be like “In the following photograph, I, Cassandra, am not wearing any makeup!”

what stopping girl hate is about:
ending internalised misogyny and the prioritisation of men over each other
what stopping girl hate is not about:
expecting women of colour, disabled women and LGBTQA+ women to excuse racism, ableism, homophobia and transmisogyny simply because it’s coming from other women

Wish I would’ve gotten to this sooner since it’s late to be posting, but I really love this particular message and the discussion around “being a man” and how it relates to the treatment of women as well as gay men (or anyone else perceived as “less” / equivocated with being undesirably weak)
there is this thing that fandom does, where fans who love female characters aren’t able to even discuss their flaws, to talk about the negative things they say or do, in a constructive way, because we’re too busy defending their right to fucking exist against people dumping all manner of hate on them
and it really sucks? i would love to have some nitty gritty conversations picking apart the ladies i love and viewing them as complex people
like wouldn’t it be nice if we could discuss sansa stark’s flaws without constantly having to sanctify her to people who think she deserves every single awful thing that’s happened in her life, but we are mired in a culture that only allows us to lavish nothing but positive attention on minority characters we love because everybody else is bound and determined to shit on them
we can’t even get a breath in to treat them as people because we’re too busy defending their right to exist
