BBC, telling it how it is
(Source: the-page-0f-space)
how sad it is that we create a society where we raise boys to base their self worth on whether or not they can trick unsuspecting women into sleeping with them and we raise girls to base their self worth on how long they lasted until they were tricked
A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification.
article herei’m never leaving my house again, this world is just too fucked up.
WHAT!?
gross gross gross gross gross
Good morning disgusting.
Remember ladies:
- “No space, leave the place” (fingernail test)
- A two way mirror must be set INTO the wall, not placed on top of it.
- If you rap/knock against the mirror, one installed onto a wall (a normal mirror) will make a dull sound, because there’s something behind it. A two-way will have more reverberation.
- Use the flashlight on your phone to shine on the mirror, if it’s a two-way, you’ll be able to see into the other room.
- You can also shield your eyes and see in if you lean up against the glass.
- The room being viewed will have to be brightly lit (10x brighter than the room looking in), so if you’re in a typical dimly lit club bathroom, you’re ok.
boosting the fuck out of this
also this is their not even apology. idk what to call it.
how fucking gross
Vile.
a woman’s body is not for you. if she wants to cover it she should feel free and safe in doing so. if she wants to expose it she should feel free and safe in doing so. it is not an indication of her self-respect but an indication of her preferences for whatever reasons she chooses — none of which are your business or concern.
PLEASE NOTE.
Everyone’s bashing Benedict Cumberbatch for playing Kahn
And I’m just like
He wasn’t the person who casted himself
He auditioned and was picked for a role
IT’S NOT PERSONALLY HIS FAULT
And besides that I thought he did an amazing job
I’m a bit outta…
He did a great job. But he auditioned, even though google would have told him in five secs that his role was a PoC. THIS is his fault.

well damn.
Reblogging this because I think it’s super important when it comes to sex and relationships and how as a society we view these things to realize that everything we’ve been taught about “men” and “women” is wrong. Not just the exclusion of trans* identities or the discussion of binarism in regards to intersex and genital differences but also the way we view gender roles and even cis gender identities and biology and behavior. This affects the way people interact in relationships and during sexual conduct and also how we act in our day-to-day lives.
good resources.
you can ship two people of the same gender as a platonic “brotp” without being homophobic (ﾉ ◕ヮ ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧
you can ship two people of the same gender romantically/sexually without being a queer fetishizer ✧・ﾟ:*ヽ(◕ヮ ◕ヽ)
you can ship two people of the same gender both platonically and romantically and oh my god stop automatically assuming someone’s ship choices are motivated by bigotry ✧・ﾟ:*ヽ(◕ ヮ ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧
“Well, when I was nine years old Star Trek came on,” Goldberg says. “I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, ‘Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television and she ain’t no maid!’ I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be.”
This is part of the reason Star Trek is important.
This is part of the reason Cumberbatch’s casting is such a huge deal.
