In pop culture, girls who crush hopelessly on guys they can’t have are painted as just that – hopeless. Over and over again, we’re taught that girls who openly express sexual or romantic interest in guys who don’t want them are pitiable, stalkerish, desperate, crazy bitches. More often than not, they’re also portrayed as ugly – whether physically, emotionally or both – in order to further establish their undesirability as an objective fact. Both narratively and, as a consequence, in real life, men are given free reign to snub, abuse, mislead and talk down to such women: we’re raised to believe that female desire is unseemly, so that any consequent shaming is therefore deserved. There is no female-equivalent Friend Zone terminology because, in the language of our culture, a man’s romantic choices are considered sacrosanct and inviolable. If a girl has been told no, then she has only herself to blame for anything that happens next – but if a woman says no, then she must not really mean it. Or, if she does, she shouldn’t: the rejected man is a universally sympathetic figure, and everyone from moviegoers to platonic onlookers will scream at her to just give him a chance, as though her rejection must always be unfounded rather than based on the fact that he had a chance, and blew it. And even then, give him another one! The pathos of Single Nice Guys can only be eased by pity-sex with unwilling women that blossoms into romance! — Lamenting the Friendzone, or: The Nice Guy Approach to Perpetuating Sexist Bullshit (via expensivebirdcage)

IN SPACE

WITH SPACESHIPS

AND DANGER AND ALIENS

and lookin more exciting than the new wackass star trek movie

Oh man I love shit like this

Oh man I love shit like this

Shit son

…this looks awesome.

Cautiously optimistic because it looks dope….but Shymalan hasn’t made a good film in forever.

but…Will Smith

Those last two comments sum it all up. “But Shymalan.” “But SMITHS!”

Still, totally want to see this.

Yeah, basically. “Shymalan!” “SMITHS!” Smiths win out. I’m seeing this

I’m actually a little offended because if there were ever a male Strong Female Character

it’d be Nightwing

Isn’t that right Karen?

IM A LITTLE BITTER NEGL dick grayson was doing the strong female character thing IN CANON way before anyone knew who clint barton was but WHATEVER FANDOM

WHATEVER

ACTUAL POSE IN AN ACTUAL COMIC BOOK

gratuitous and inhuman

losing clothes since 1980something

Eisenhower understood the trade-offs between guns and butter. “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed,” he warned in 1953, early in his presidency. “The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. — Aaron B. O’Connell, Assistant Professor history at the United States Naval Academy and Marine Reserve Officer. (via letterstomycountry)

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand

I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back

Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me

There’s no place I can be
Since I found serenity

You can’t take the sky from me
