you see this?
it’s called a razor
if you’re a girl, USE IT
your hairy legs and armpits aren’t cute okay
you’re not helping out for woman’s rights or anything
YOU’RE JUST MAKING YOURSELF LOOK NASTY
Or!
Women have been socialized to believe that they must remove hair for a number of reasons, primarily the following:
- hair is historically and Biblically associated with power; we as a patriarchal culture are obsessed with keeping hair on men (facial hair, Hair Club for Men, hair plugs, whatever) and keeping it off women. You say hair on women is nasty; why is it only hair on women? Women and men have the same pubic hair. We all grow it out of our follicles for the same reason. Why is it only gross on women?
- women’s bodies have been considered the property of men since the dawn of time, and therefore we have been held to a standard of beauty and attractiveness that is not determined by us but is instead determined by something called the male gaze, which is erases all sexualities and genders other than cisgender heterosexual men and assumes that women are performing for it.
- childlike women are considered less “threatening” and more “feminine” because they are naive, quiet, and rely on ~*adult men*~ to take care of them.
AND ALSO:
- there is a fallacy about pubic hair that it is dirty. It is not dirty. In fact, it’s there to keep your genitals cleaner. Pubic hair and armpit hair are also there to spread your pheromones around and make it easier for you to attract a mate.
- all mammals have hair. We’re mammals.
AND FINALLY:
- No one else’s body is your business. Ever. You want to shave? Go ahead! That’s totally your prerogative and if you’re more comfortable shaving, feel free. But given that pubic hair isn’t innately dirty, there’s no reason for anyone to remove it if they don’t want to.
You’re not sending out some edgy, hardcore message here. You’re just reinforcing what our culture wants you to reinforce. Before you pick up that razor again, think about why you want to shave. Is it just because our culture told you to? Why’d they tell you to? What’s the point?
Do what makes you comfortable and what makes you happy, and let others do the same.
where do these intelligent people COME from?!

Sloppy drunks are sloppy. I’m at The Escape with Ace and Liz in Portland and there are sooo many drunk people in the roped off area outside falling all over.
The rest of the people are cool except I’m passing really intensely in a queer space. Whatever :/ I need a queer tattoo or something.

FUCK Straight Cis-people who don’t know SHIT about
1. Anything LGBTQ - Having a gay friend doesn’t you an expert
2. Especially anything Trans.
Whatever the fuuuuuuuuck.
I’m done trying to educate ignorant assholes over facebook. Fuck it.
Disclaimer: I’m not the most knowledgeable person on the planet, but come the fuck on. At least I try to not sound like an ignorant asshole at every possible moment. Also, at least I’m fucking queer and know some shit about it.

Breaking DOMA News of the Day: In a victory for gay marriage advocates that rivals the enormity of Proposition 8 in California, the First Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Boston today upheld a lower court’s ruling and declared the federal Defense of Marriage Act unconsitutional.
From the court’s opinion:
“[M]any Americans believe that marriage is the union of a man and a woman, and most Americans live in states where that is the law today. One virtue of federalism is that it permits this diversity of governance based on local choice, but this applies as well to the states that have chosen to legalize same-sex marriage. Under current Supreme Court authority, Congress’ denial of federal benefits to same-sex couples lawfully married in Massachusetts has not been adequately supported by any permissible federal interest.”
Expect the ruling to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

This is super exciting! Even though it will be appealed the U.S. Supreme Court, it’s still a little victory, a little hope, a reason to keep fighting.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4wczyNgOo1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

#what was the point of this storyline #it all feels empty and cheap now
#so upset #he was basically used as a tool for rachel to get to new york #the story needed his rejection for her victory #and i’ve never been more upset with this show
The thing I’m really mad about is that my immediate reaction was “She stole his spot!” That Rachel bullied her way into NYADA and took someone else’s spot and that person was probably Kurt.
