Heteronormativity is heterosexuality raised to the second power: it is heterosexuality not as an erotic orientation or even a compulsory regime that brooks no alternatives, but heterosexuality as the template for all forms of meaningful social organization.

unpaid internships are oppressive and should be illegal i’m not being cute or funny they are 100% designed to reward people with greater access to resources and i’m fundamentally opposed to hiring for unpaid labor every internship should be required to provide at least a nominal stipend
I have a deep love and appreciation of calving and hobbes.
What girls say: I’m fine
What girls mean: but in the 2001 American comedy hit film Legally Blonde, when Enrique (Greg Serano) lies and says that he and Brooke Taylor-Windham have been having an affair, he’s committing perjury in open court which is and of itself a felony with a punishment of up to five years is prison. Why is he doing this? What’s the motivation behind this crime? Is he in a conspiracy with Chutney to take down Brooke? Will this man and his sequin vest ever face justice?

“15 Men React To The Idea Of Taking Their Wife’s Last Name After Marriage”
BOOSTED
While I am always a little hestitant of things that seem to put the safety of the person on the person who is NOT the one inflicting the harm... taking care of ourselves its hella important
Tens of thousands of people around the world are now using a free personal-safety mobile app that allows friends to virtually walk you home at night.
The Companion app, created by five students from the University of Michigan, enables users to request a friend or family member to keep them company virtually and track their journey home via GPS on an online map.
Although they can do so, the friend or family member does not need to have installed the Companion app. The user can send out several requests to different phone contacts in case people are not available to be a companion or not with their phones at the time.
Those contacted then receive an SMS text message with a hyperlink in it that sends them to a web page with an interactive map showing the user walking to their destination. If the user strays off their path, falls, is pushed, starts running, or has their headphones yanked out of their phone, the app detects these changes in movement and asks the user if they’re OK.
If the user is fine, they press a button on the app to confirm within 15 seconds. If they do not press the button, or a real emergency is occurring, the Companion app transforms the user’s phone into a personal alarm system that projects loud noises to scare criminals from the scene, and gives you the option to instantly call the police.

[Dominant groups don’t see privilege as a problem…] because they think it’s just a personal problem. They think individuals usually get what they deserve, which makes the trouble just a sum of individual troubles This means that if whites or males get more than others, it’s because they have it coming - they work harder, they’re smarter, more capable. If other people get less, it’s up to them to do something about it.
