20 y-o female Engineering Physics student from Eastern Europe. Interested in Analytic Philosophy, Politics and Anthropology. Started out as an adherant to many feminist stances, however, I'm quite impartial now (won't call myself a feminist) and repost curious views/things I tend to agree with/some of the views are older and I keep them for reference. I stand for complete equality of the sexes, can't stand hypocrisy and entitlement (both from women and men); there are many things wrong with (modern) feminism and MRM. A lot of mixed stuff here.

• Ask me anything
Just a reminder and a positive post that instead of the fat-acceptance culture we should focus on ENCOURAGING and helping people to live healthier lifestyles and lose weight. Supporting them.
Here’s a positive story of a man who was 653+ pounds before some people online encouraged him to lose weight, eat healthy and exercise - and he has lost over 300 pounds.
“Remarkably, Jesse’s transformation started by accident. “It started off as nothing more than an ill-fated attempt to get a rise out of bodybuilding types,” he recalls. Jesse created a thread called “Ask the fattest man on the misc [sub-forum] anything,” posted photos of his then-obese body, and waited, fully expecting—almost inviting—a backlash.What happened instead set the wheels of change in motion.“[My plan] ‘backfired’ on me, and people started to try to convince me that it wasn’t too late, that even at my weight, all was not lost,” remembers Jesse. “I didn’t want to hear it and made my usual excuses, like not having enough money for groceries or lacking the motivation. But the members of the thread didn’t accept my excuses and even offered advice on how it could be done. They walked me through it, provided me with a platform to get feedback and take baby steps, and the rest is history!”“It really showed me that even on the Internet, the kindness of strangers can completely change your life. It helped me to realize that I had something to fight for,” Jesse says of his Bodybuilding.com comrades. “They’re the ones who took me under their wings and believed in me long before I believed in myself."”
“I condemn men because they’re inferior to women in all respects”, Buzzfeed Senior Editor (and clearly not a member of a Supremacist Movement) Feminist Katie Notopoulos
Ever get the feeling Buzzfeed hated men for some reason? Meet their senior editor.
When I was talking about the stranglehold Social Justice Hatemongers had on New Media people thought I was kidding.
This woman in a position of tremendous power flat out stated her belief that males are naturally inferior by way of their birth.
Girl I like: I don’t consider myself a feminist–
Me: wow suddenly I don’t find you attractive anymore??
I’m pretty sure that girl doesn’t exist just so you can find her to be attractive. She’s a person with her own opinions and reasoning for said opinions. Get over it.
Now don’t you ever try to tell me there is no such thing as racism against white people. And don’t you dare fucking tell me it’s ‘reverse’ racism either.
No one, not matter their race, religion, sexuality, gender identification or physical and/or mental capabilities or appearance should have to commit suicide over shit like being bullied. NO BODY! Especially a fucking 9 year old child!
~Behax~
This is problematic.
Racism is not a thing against white people.
Racism is power + prejudice.
What happened to him might have been horrible. It might have been highly prejudiced, but it was not racist.
It is not your place, as white people, to attempt to define what is racist and what isn’t.
Please, spare us your white tears..
“Spare us your white tears”
A nine-year old boy was pushed to suicide over his skin color. People being rightfully upset about this is not “problematic”. Holy shit. People like you actually exist.
I’m done. This is too gross. Good night, tumblr.
“Racism against white people isn’t real. It’s just prejudice. Based on race. I wish there was a word for that.”
Also: Fuck you for spreading your shit tier bullshit narrative on a post about a boy who literally fucking died for being bullied for his race.
I was pretty skeptical about the figures, since they contradict what I usually hear on the media, so I did a little research. Here’s what I found: (Sorry this is so US centric) (I’ll also try to stay close to primary sources as possible)
- the 12 months before taking the survey, an estimated 4.0% of women experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner -an estimated 14.2% of women experienced some form of psychological aggression in the 12 months preceding the survey. -*4,774,000 women have been victims of physical violence by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey -*17,091,000 women have been victims of psychological aggression by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey
- the 12 months before taking the survey, an estimated 4.8% of men experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner -an estimated 18.0% of men experienced some form of psychological aggression in the 12 months preceding the survey. -*5,452,000 men have been victims of physical violence by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey -*20,471,000 men have been victims of psychological aggression by intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey
*Table 6
By the data presented by the Center for Disease Control, out of the estimate of 10,226,000 yearly victims of intimate partner violence, 53.3% of victims where male and 46.6% were female. As for psychological aggression, out of the estimate of 37,562,000 yearly victims, 54.4% were male and 45.5% were female. These statistics would support the claim made in the bottom left.
Now I couldn’t find a primary source for the 70% of DV is initiated by women, but here’s the facts that I found, which may have been interpreted by the people who made this poster:
This can be interpreted as “67% of violent couples with IPV is mutual”. But then again, primary sources and full data would be helpful to back up this claim.
-23.9% of relationships are violent -50.3% of IPV is non-reciprocal and 49.7% is reciprocal (Reciprocal IPV= Mutual violence) -70.7% of non-reciprocal IPV is initiated by women.
So summing up the numbers, it’s not that 70% of all DV is initiated by women, its that 70% of non-reciprocal DV is initiated by women. To go further would say that 49.7% of DV is mutual, 36.2% of DV is initiated by women, and 14.5% of DV is initiated by men
Male victims of domestic violence are real. They are hurting. And they often don’t get the attention and compassion they so urgently deserve and need.
Have a heart. Open your mind, and give a care.
Harvard released a study that concluded that 70% of non-reciprocal domestic violence was perpetrated by women. The study was erased/deleted. No official retraction; No official corrections. Just deleted. No press release to explain why it was gone.
Kill the myth that the vast majority of Domestic Violence is committed by men.
Hm. These numbers are all so different to anything I’ve seen before. I’m reblogging and liking this both for my own reference and to spread these numbers to others. I’m definitely gonna look into this and see if I can find more sources and more information.
Gamergate: Then makes games with female protagonists, support female developers or ask the actors of the industry to include female characters!
Feminists: I can’t, I’ve been paid 140,000$ to make youtube videos
Fact: some gamers (of all genders) prefer to play games as female protagonists. The Gamergaters I know are supportive of this. As the person above me said, why can’t we fix the problem at the source by helping female developers get into the field? I want more female protagonists, but I want them made naturally. Developers that make things because they are forced to don’t make things as well as they could when they want to
Wanna know why? Because female game devs are scared off by the claims that they will be murder raped out of the industry because of how misogynistic it is, when it really isn’t.
People like Anita Sarkeesian and their ilk, spreading the myth that game dev is sexist, are actually keeping women out of game dev.
