I'm eighteen,
I'm a feminist, I love theatre, cats, and English, and I watch too many period dramas. I am a huge geek. I really love Shakespeare and tattoos. Currently a student in Halifax. NDP.
How I Look * About Me • Ask away.

I mean, imagine opening The Sun every day and finding page three adorned with a photo of a pouting specimen of masculinity clad only in his Y-fronts. Imagine naked men sprawling sensuously on the bonnets of new model cars at the motor show. Imagine having to listen to some sweaty and repugnant female version of Bernard Manning telling an endless string of Father-in-Law jokes. Sure, it’s funny once. Maybe it would be funny twice. But three times? Four times? Five thousand times? Can you imagine having to live with something as insulting as that every day of your life? No wonder so many feminists are cranky.
And comics are, in their way, every bit as guilty as other media in presenting a distorted vision of women to their readers. Maybe more guilty in some respects. After all, comics tend to be aimed predominantly at a young audience, an audience that may very well be going through an impressionable stage of their lives and desperately trying to make sense of the world in which they find themselves.

all i want in life right now is Harry Potter, my cat nearby, and a feminist rant with a lesbian who i will proceed to have beautiful sex with.
is that too much to ask for?
i gained and lost exactly equal amounts of followers in the last week, and it was a fairly substantial amount. weird how that happens.
but i am okay with this. ya dont want me on your dash, thats cool. i only like the awesome followers.
“Not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal safety strategies. A woman should be able to walk down the street at 4 in the morning in nothing but her socks, blind drunk, without being assaulted, and I, for one, am not going to do anything to imply that she is in any way responsible for her own assault if she fails to Adequately Protect Herself. Men aren’t helpless dick-driven maniacs who can’t help raping a vulnerable woman. It disrespects EVERYONE.”
