Mmm. Living in coal-country West Virginia, I think of this every time the Volunteer Fire Alarm goes off.

OMG
MANA
I KNOW, THIS SHIT IS THE MOST MESSED UP AHDHSHFD /WEEPING LAUGHING
I reblogged this before, but it bears repeating now.
Indeed.
“According to the dreams-for-survival theory, dreams permit us to reconsider information that is critical for our daily survival.”
… sex is critical for my daily survival?
”Roran watched as lamps flared on behind shuttered windows, then turned at the sound of soft sobbing.”
So… I watch lights go on in the morning as my lover sobs because I was so good? Or so bad? Oh lord…
“Much quantitative formulation can be determined from chemical formulas and equations by using atomic weights.”

“However, there are many other possibilities, ranging from large plants and animals to microorganisms, to extinct forms, to a planet that is now and was always lifeless.”
This only raises further questions.

And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.”
My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality – my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part."

Kyriarchy in action.

Also the study where they had women and men talking in a discussion and when women spoke around 30% of the time, men perceived them as dominating the discussion. They didn’t consider it “equal” until something like 5-10% of women talking.

Voila. A beautiful example of why fighting for equality becomes a gross exaggeration in the eyes of the oppressors.

When Natalie and I were discussing getting married she asked me “What about my last name?” and I said “I’ll take it. I don’t care.”
Her father is dead. Her Italian family name isn’t all that common in Scotland. My father, who I never liked that much, has two other kids to carry on his name, not to mention my brother, who isn’t even related to the guy, so there are enough Valmassois out there. I have no problem ditching my name and taking hers, and there are millions of men like me out there so shut the fuck up with your kyriarchal oppression and baby feminist bullshit.
You guys remember Jack White? You should, he’s still releasing music weekly. That’s Johnny Gillis, who took, both personally and professionally, forever, his wife’s last name. Happens all the time, but rather than point out when it does you reblog selective snippets of internet essays that were written when you were 12 and suck each other off talking about how oppressed you are. You’re quoting something written about FANFICTION in 2006 like it’s front-page news.
Get out in the world and live.
Make an actual difference. Meet living people.
“What would Victoria Woodhull Do?” should be the only question you ever have to ask yourselves.

^What I tell myself this person really meant to say:
Wow, it’s unfortunate that so many of you still feel that way. Perhaps I can offer you a few examples that are more positive and encouraging, including my own story. Let’s work together to make sure these kinds of examples become mainstream and readily accepted by the rest of society. Thank you for your thought-provoking post.
KATSUCON!!!!!1 mirite?
