Notes
If you think abortions ok, remember what Horton says.
Awkward. Dr. Seuss and his wife were really liberal and pro-choice. They’ve even sued pro-life organizations for using this quote the wrong way (the way you’re doing it actually). I guess you didn’t already know that Horton Hears a Who is about the American occupation of Japan post-WWII. He even dedicated it to his dear Japanese friend.
Mrs. Geisel (Mrs. Seuss) continued donating to Planned Parenthood and advocating for reproductive health and rights after her husband died.
True - he did threaten to sue. I just looked it up. Awesome.

NotesWoman: I'm smart. Patriarchy: Well you're probably ugly then. Woman: I'm creative. Patriarchy: You mean unattractive right? Woman: I have all these incredible accomplishments. Patriarchy: Yeah but look how ugly you looked doing them. Woman: I have value. Patriarchy: Not if you're ugly lol. Woman: I'm conventionally-attractive & posted selfies on my blog. Patriarchy: I'm so sick of these empty-headed chicks only caring about their looks. Just because you are attractive and get attention from men doesn't mean you are special or deserve respect. Why don't you read a book or do something productive with your life you dumb slut. -

Notes THE "RACE" PROBLEM: mehreenkasana: I’ll say three things clearly so that there is no...I’ll say three things clearly so that there is no misconstruing:
1. White privilege exists.
2. This is about the instant media positioning from “White Caucasian Male” to Indoctrined Chechen Terrorist.
3. Call me a “terrorism apologist”, and I’ll take you as seriously as I…

Notes"Things like racism are institutionalized. You might not know any bigots. You feel like “well I don’t hate black people so I’m not a racist,” but you benefit from racism. Just by the merit, the color of your skin. The opportunities that you have, you’re privileged in ways that you might not even realize because you haven’t been deprived of certain things. We need to talk about these things in order for them to change."Dave Chappelle (via foxynonsense)
