BDSM Problem #230
bdsmproblems:

Which is fine if you’re hungry and horny, but otherwise distracting.

RIOTS NOT DIETS: a letter to potential 'admirers':... →
riotsnotdiets:.
“I think it’s perfectly legitimate to have a sexual preference for fat bodies. If that’s you, cool. Just don’t assume that my body means any one thing in particular. Don’t assume that my fatness predetermines anything about me, or about a potential relationship with me. DO NOT assume that you are doing me any favors by showing interest in me. “

i am fat: Fat Fetish →
i—am—fat:
Fat fetishists are always so desperate to hear how happy we are to be fat—and we’re never allowed to have an off day or to feel down or ugly without it being some serious commentary on our “Confidence” level and how sexy we are—and, honestly, it seems to me that that says more about fat fetishists…

Feminism is not:
wearenowhere-and-itsnow:
Anti-Porn
Anti-Man
Anti-Makeup
Anti-Girly-girl
Anti-Prostitution
Anti-Stay-at-home-spouse
Feminism is Pro-Women doing what Women want to do. Feminism is Pro-Equality.
Getting rid of the patriarchy will make everybody’s life better.

Nothing but the dreams: Why Black History Month →
edwardspoonhands:
So I posted this SciShow video earlier today and, well, I was surprised by some of the comments. Many viewers were of the opinion that recognizing scientists of a particular race was unnecessary and even wrong.
Basically, indicating that celebrating Black History…

When I was 19 I married my high school sweetheart. He had never hit me in anyway. Never had yelled at me. He was in the Navy and we moved nearly 1000 miles away from home. We had been married one week when he first slapped me. I forgave him. We had been married about a year when…

tangledupinlace:
I’ve got to play a raucous game of Banagrams and eat some ice cream, so I’ll make this short.
Those intense feelings of anger and upset you feel when you think about how visible my fat body is in that outfit picture, are not, and will never be about, your concern about my quality of life or my…
