Ask me something!

HEY THERE~ My name is Simone! I'm a nerd, gamer, Kpop fan, and total slacker. I like to post things that I want around, on, or inside me. Hopefully you also enjoy those things.
It saddens me to see girls proudly declaring they’re not like other girls – especially when it’s 41,000 girls saying it in a chorus, never recognizing the contradiction. It’s taking a form of contempt for women – even a hatred for women – and internalizing it by saying, Yes, those girls are awful, but I’m special, I’m not like that, instead of stepping back and saying, This is a lie.

The real meaning of “I’m not like the other girls” is, I think, “I’m not the media’s image of what girls should be.” Well, very, very few of us are. Pop culture wants to tell us that we’re all shallow, backstabbing, appearance-obsessed shopaholics without a thought in our heads beyond cute boys and cuter handbags. It’s a lie – a flat-out lie – and we need to recognize it and say so instead of accepting that judgment as true for other girls, but not for you.

“I’m not like the other girls”, Claudia Gray

Excellent article. I always end up thinking this when I see reblogs like that. Female competition is a horrible, poisonous thing (that I’ve only recently gotten over engaging in, and I am much happier for it).

I’m a guy, and I need feminism. Not “men’s rights.” Feminism. Here is why.

Everything that MRAs talk about that men can’t do or are socially punished for arise directly and immediately from misogyny. Not “misandry.”…

This expresses so much that I often don’t even realize that I feel.

never apologise for wanting attention.

if anyone ever tries to shame you or call you an attention seeker for posting photos of yourself on the internet, or talking about your achievements, or discussing mental health issues, or wearing tight/revealing clothing, etc etc, they’re an asshole.

attention feels good and you’re worthy of it.

Hey, this is a good post. 

It is a really. good. post.

people should reblog this.
