• not being able to walk alone at any time really
• being cat called
• dress codes
• “not all men”
• “feminazi”
• literally being murdered for turning men down

for today’s episode on how fucked up our world is: women have a completely different section for plus sizes with completely different clothes and very small variety, but men have all their sizes in the same section, without classifying it “plus sized”. 

i have never thought about this..

So many adult women are in love with the boys from One Direction. Imagine the reaction if adult men were crazy over a band of teenage girls.

Remember the count downs to when Mary Kate and Ashley were 18? Or Emma Watson? The guys from One Direction are all over 21. If you want to talk about sexualization of young women we can absolutely do that.

You reminded me of this quote from Emma, “…overnight I’d become fair game … One photographer lay down on the floor to get a shot up my skirt. The night it was legal for them to do it, they did it. I woke up the next day and felt completely violated.”

Bands like 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction are a prime example of why we need feminism. Now you are probably like, Abby what the hell, those bands are both made completely out of males, why are they an example for why we need feminism.  If you look at both bands, they both have a fan base prominently made of females. In the music world, both bands are not taken seriously. All of One Direction’s albums have gone straight to #1 and their newest single “Drag Me Down” is currently #1 in over 80 countries. 5 Seconds of Summer’s debut album went straight to #1 in 13 countries and their newest single went straight to #1 in multiple countries. One Direction has broken the Vevo record numerous times, and both bands have recently crushed the record for fastest song to go to #1 without preorder on iTunes. Both bands are currently in the middle of their world tours, playing to thousands of people and having sold out or close to sold out shows every night. So as you can see both bands are very successful, but their success is belittled by the fact that their fans are mostly females ranging from age 13 to age 20. When these bands have success it is dismissed on the account that their fans are “obsessed” and “crazed” and the bands don’t have real talent, they are just pretty. Do you think millions of girls who are in High School and College, making minimum wage, would spend their hard earned money on an album because the people who made it are “pretty.” No they have better things to spend their money on. People buy their music because it is good, it makes them feel good. If roles were reversed and One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer had mainly male fans you would see them getting treated with respect and getting the attention they deserved, not overlooked for the fact that females like them. Why is it so bad to have a mainly female audience? I can tell you why, society runs on the sole purpose of making everything women enjoy look like a joke. You have seen it with Starbucks, yoga pants, iPhones, even something as simple as Ugg boots. So now we have these two very talented bands not getting the respect they deserve, because females enjoy them, so obviously they are stupid and that is complete and utter bullshit.

the stereotype that women talk more than men is infinitely amusing to me because men are literally incapable of shutting the fuck up

i hope this post gets popular enough that i hurt a man’s feelings

It’s not a stereotype it’s a proven fact you femanazi piece of shit.

lmao there it is 

You wanna talk proven facts? This shit’s been done, son: researcher Dale Spencer in Australia used audio and video tape to independently evaluate who talked the most in mixed-gender university classroom discussions. Regardless of the gender ratio of the students, whether the instructor was deliberately trying to encourage female participation or not, men always talked more—whether the metric was minutes of talking or number of words spoken. 

Moreover, men literally have no clue how much they talk. When Spencer asked students to evaluate their perception of who talked more in a given discussion, women were pretty accurate; but men perceived the discussion as being “equal” when women talked only 15% of the time, and the discussion as being dominated by women if they talked only 30% of the time.

Spencer’s conclusion, if I may parahprase: you only think we talk too much because you’d rather we were silent.

Don’t fuck with me, asshole, I’m a scientist.
