My friend was basically saying that there’s something “wrong” with Brienne because she’s ugly, masculine, and has no sense of humor and an icy personality (while conveniently not talking about male characters with the same personality type)
and I’m like ‘stop talking or I’m going to punch you in the dick (◕‿◕✿)’

When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.
It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry...

Transgender woman arrested for wearing sheer top,... →
daggerpen:
Ashley Del Valle is a transgender woman from New York who was arrested in Georgia for indecent exposure after she allegedly showed her breasts, but then was housed in an all-male jail.

So one day she invited them to come play cricket, then set fire to the bat...

It’s not often that I get so mad at a thing that I have to go to my Tumblr to talk about it. I tend to keep politics, religion, and anger away from Welcome to Bethville! because it is very sensitive and prone to fits of crying. But over here, on Welcome to Bethville:…
