"Suppose a man makes unwanted social advances to a woman in, let’s say, a restaurant or theatre, and she eventually has to tell him loudly or angrily to get lost. She is the one who will be perceived as rude, hostile, aggressive, and obnoxious. His verbal aggression and invasiveness are accepted and expected; her rudeness (or mere curtness) in getting rid of him is noticed and condemned. One of our great myths is that a “real lady” can and should handle any difficulty, defuse any assault, without ever raising her voice or losing her manners. Female rudeness or violence in resistance to male aggression has often been taken to prove that the woman was not a lady in the first place, and therefore deserved no respect from the aggressor or sympathy from others."
— D.A. Clarke, “A Woman With a Sword” (via ellielamothe)

MAKE LOKI FIX IT

Sad thing is in actual mythology this is very accurate. But loki does always fix the problem and usually the other gods got something good out of it in the end like magical weapons and tools, so really the other gods should stop bitching cuz when loki cleans up his messes they get free shit out of it.

^ Yep.

beware of men who think sensitivity and weakness are the same thing. they are messed up and they will mess YOU up with their inability to be intimate and the over-importance they give to violence & power. 

^^accurate as FUCK.

I dated this guy. He also claimed that ‘love and hate were basically the same thing’ (NO NOT REALLY DUDE) and also talked all the time about the ‘battle of the sexes’ till I came out and told him that I wasn’t interested in fighting any battles or being his enemy.

I mean really now. Who wants to be in a relationship with their enemy, for fuck’s sake? From a practical standpoint alone it makes no damn sense—you’d constantly be sleeping with one eye open, for a start.

what if we just created a fandom for a tv show that doesn’t exist and we build it up really big and make a ton of inside jokes until the internet just accepts it as a real show and it starts getting included in polls and gets it’s own imdb page and a group of outsiders go crazy trying to find dl links
