feministquotes:

That not all men are piggy, only some; that not all men belittle me, only some; that not all men get mad if you won’t let them play Chivalry, only some; that not all men write books in which women are idiots, only most; that not all men pull rank on me, only some; that not all men pinch their secretaries’ asses, only some; that not all men make obscene remarks to me in the street, only some; that not all men make more money than I do, only some; that not all men make more money than all women, only most; that not all men are rapists, only some; that not all men are promiscuous killers, only some; that not all men control Congress, the Presidency, the police, the army, industry, agriculture, law, science, medicine, architecture, and local government, only some.

I sat down on the lawn and wept.


—-Joanna Russ, On Strike Against God

I read a review of this book on Tor.com and had to tumblr the quotes she used.

“when i found out that jamey rodemeyer killed himself - i felt deeply troubled. but when i found out that jamey rodemeyer had made an it gets better video only months before taking his own life - i felt indescribable despair. i also made an it gets better video last year - in the wake of the senseless and tragic gay teen suicides that were sweeping the nation at the time. but in light of jamey’s death - it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it - is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality. our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country. gay kids need to stop killing themselves because they are made to feel worthless by cruel and relentless bullying. parents need to teach their children principles of respect and acceptance. we are witnessing an enormous shift of collective consciousness throughout the world. we are at the precipice of great transformation within our culture and government. i believe in the power of intention to change the landscape of our society - and it is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action. jamey rodemeyer’s life changed mine. and while his death only makes me wish that i had done this sooner - i am eternally grateful to him for being the catalyst for change within me. now i can only hope to serve as the same catalyst for even one other person in this world. that - i believe - is all that we can ask of ourselves and of each other.” —Zachary Quinto (via hitodeman)

  • the prostate is not way up the rectum
  • it is not like the cervix in the vagina
  • a toy/penis/whatever isn’t going to stab it when deep drilling
  • although the whole rectum is so compact any movement in there is likely going to indirectly stimulate it somehow
  • fingers are much more effective for direct stimulation
  • it’s walnut sized but it feels like a much smaller bump
  • orgasm from prostate stimulation alone isn’t impossible, but it doesn’t happen every time
  • prostate =/= clit
  • prostate = g spot is more accurate

fucking read this :D

knowledge!

how do people still not know this

Reblogging for great justice.

All writers need good information - especially when writing about experiences/bodies not your own! See also Minotaur’s blog.

Haven't heard much from your direction in a while, everything alright?

Ah, thank you for asking, and sorry for worrying you! Yes, yes, I’m perfectly fine. I’ve just been distracted with life and things going on - good things! I have a new girlfriend! :D *waves to radioactivesoup* - and I’ve gotten a kind of writer’s block thing where I can’t think of anything to say, or if I have something to say the words just stop, so I say nothing. And tumblr is a void that I find difficult to just tip my toe into so I’ve not logged on at all. But I should say something, as I am developing friendships here (I hope) and I shouldn’t leave y’all hanging.

Please have a Troughton as an apology.
