Dear Tumblr: Yesterday I found out that a straight...
I mean, we are, but that’s totally not the point.
It’s not my job to make you and your heterosexuality feel comfortable. I know this is Baby’s First Queer Theory Class and you might feel ostracized when us gays get up on our soapboxes and talk about our Experiences In a Heteronormative Culture, but it really isn’t necessary for you to get so offended that you decide to...

Hating Santorum - now rebloggable!
stfusexists:
Want to make a drink that really shows how you feel about Rick Santorum? Or maybe a drink to help you forget that he exists? Well Miss O and followers have got you covered!
2 parts 151 rum - to make you “drunk enough to believe women signed the Declaration of Independence“
1 part Kahlua - for brownness
Blend with ice for appropriate frothiness
Banana chunks for extra...

Good news genderqueers, women, and all people of non-privileged gender, sexism is not rampant in the atheist community because this dude says so!
If I see one more stupid post by an atheist about how sexism is rampant in the atheist community, I am out.
… Shut the fuck up already. The enemy is out there.
So show some gentility all you atheist ladies and defer to the man,...

…Racism is a survival mechanism entrenched in our DNA. It is not unlike the male proclivity to want to procreate with every attractive female he sees.

Between the BDSM tumblrites whining about how the bottom is obligated to speak up in order to prevent rape, and the people arguing that porn is all good fun and can be reblogged endlessly without further thought, it’s probably a damn good idea to get really hardcore about taking some goddamn ownership of your ability to sexually exploit people.
I remember a...

stfusexists:
But if you do, you’re being an asshole. You’re doing the same shit that people do to me when they tell me I “take things too seriously” and am bad for the feminist movement. You’re doing the same shit people do when they claim that if women or people of color or anyone else who is oppressed would just ask nicely, everything would be fine.
Knowing all that, if this is how you want...

Damn. This is fascinating, if not deeply disturbing. Just one more way that European colonialism decimated the people of Africa, leaving behind death, destruction, and disease in its wake; a wake that still troubles the progress of humanity today.
