It upsets me when people assume big girls rarely get any attention from fine men.
Like, when I was in a class and I said that D’angelo and Angie Stone were together, people were like “Really? Good for her!” As if D’Angelo was doing Angie a favor or some shit. Can people get it out of their minds that fat chicks don’t deserve or can’t get a good looking man?
just so we're all clear here

the main message should still be that regardless of if someone is unhealthy or healthy or has a chronic illness or is engaging in potential health risks…they should still be able to post a picture of themselves and be celebrated and loved and complimented without someone feeling entitled enough to say that they need to change. I’m sorry, but is that how you show concern or how you...

What I don’t get is why some fems refer to themselves as proud misandrists, yet scoff when people suggest misandry is real?
Because they say they’re proud misandrists as a joke. It’s satire. It’s not real.
Also, there could be individuals who hate men for what men have done to them in their lifetime, but misandry as a systematic oppression is NOT FUCKING...

at monash university in melbourne the women’s department had a bake sale and cupcakes were one dollar for men and eighty cents for women and seventy cents for trans* people to represent the wage gap and heaps of guys kicked off about it being sexist and that’s how i finally understood how hypocritical and ignorant men’s rights activism is

hizbullahtwerkteam:
I don’t really trust anyone that doesn’t care about politics or social issues, because these are generally the people who have the privilege of being apolitical, and of ignoring those specific issues.
It all boils down to this.

Most people won’t admit it, or don’t even realize it, but
