[TW: discussion of racism] Recently, my dashboard has been lit up here and there with some fast-flying reblogs of a video from one of Jane Elliott’s Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes workshops. In these workshops, she conducts an experiment in which brown-eyed students are separated from non-brown-eyed students, and the non-brown-eyed students are bullied, harrassed, and oppressed...

What does it mean to be Asian American?
voguedissent:
It means that you’re bi-cultural: both Asian and American, yet neither at the same time. In Asia, you’re American; in America, you’re Asian. You are also bi-cultural in the sense that you walk a fine line between being a person of color and being a token white.
It means that you’re a perpetual foreigner: it doesn’t matter that you were born here, or that English was your first...
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
Woman: Well, why can't I have birth control?
Government: Because. Sex isn't for recreation.
Woman: It can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.
Government: Too bad.
Man: For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?
Government: Do you have a penis?
Man: YES, YES I DO!!
Government: WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!
Government: But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want.
Woman: But-
Government: Shut up, you sinning, freeloading hussy.

yamino:
I’ve been getting a lot of asks/comments regarding this tumblr post, which showcases some of the really nasty comments I got recently, particularly the very transphobic ones. Do not click this if you are triggered by that sort of thing, it’s really nasty: http://saccharinescorpion.tumblr.com/post/18259965313
For those asking, I’m not trans*, but I am an ally. I suspect the reason for...

Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and...
