I hope Rick Santorum’s kids grow up to be liberals.
I hope Rick Santorum’s kids grow up to masturbate a lot.
Into the mouths of other people of the same gender.
Who are also liberal.

Welp! That’s great! Gonna rant now! AS USUAL WHAT ELSE IS NEW
Before he was 8, things were fine and dandy and he’s a happy adorable snotrag!
He isin’t treated any differently and if he is, he’s too young to notice at the time.
He’s 10. He’s talented at creating animation and draws like a pro.
Early primary school; things are fine but he feels a little confused that he’s one...

Pansexual, genderqueer and queer is so much easier to say, so no offence to you, but no.
lol ‘queer’ as a made-up word
‘Queer’ emerged in the English language IN THE FUCKING 1500s. It was being used for deviance from sexual norms by the late 1800s. It has a VERY long history as a word (longer than ‘homosexual’, I will add, which appeared in print for...

Lady reporters too sexy for Twitter
jessicavalenti:
In case you didn’t see this gem, media and politics blog FishbowlDC thinks that female journalists should stop being so damn sexy in their Twitter avatars. They even provide some examples of these scandalously whorish women with a couple of happy looking ladyreporters, and ask readers to send in similarly slutty pics.
When taken to task over the blatant sexism of the post over...

Trans Sexuality - A Safe Sex Zine →

tobitastic:
Safe sex information is almost universally designed for non-trans (and straight) folks, and then that information is given to us when and where it applies. However, there is a lot of information that is unique to trans people and trans bodies that never gets included. This zine answers the question, what would sex ed look like if it was...

would you be interested in participating in a Skype interview answering the following questions:
why is it important for trans*/gender non-conforming individuals to have a visible presence within the feminist community?
what are some ways in which cis-gender and fellow trans*/gender non-conforming individuals can be more inclusive on both a personal scale and a large scale?
if so...

What are your top beauty tips?
Start out perfect and don’t change a thing. Always accentuate your best features by pointing at them. And conceal your flaws by sucker punching anyone who has the audacity to mention them.

The excellent Chris Coltrane’s ‘letter of application’ to UniLad, a site that likes to make ‘jokes’ glorifying sexual violence. [Parody]
Note: trigger warnings for sexual violence and rape culture apply, although the letter itself is a joke/parody taking the mick out of the horrible rubbish UniLad writes.

why college is not for me but has to be for me
daniellemertina:
I went to dinner with the chairs of the English department at my school… and the black poet that was invited to speak for Black History Month (my school brings a black poet every year).
I was the only student invited. I guess because there’s no black faculty and they wanted to make the guest poet feel comfortable. So why not invite a black student who is an English major and...
