Sophie!... California
Black Americans killed in 2014 by police outnumber the number of people who died on 9/11/2001 but I don’t see our government waging a war on that terror.

---------------------- reblog | 321,436 notesi don’t understand the argument “im not a feminist because i don’t experience any sexism.” like, alright. that’s wonderful for you. but what about the girls forced into marriage at the age of 5? what about the women with acid thrown on their face? what about the women living without rights, with no voice? what about transwomen and woc and disabled women who do face sexism? if you won’t be a feminist for yourself, be a feminist for them. be a feminist so that you can make the world a better place for the people who can’t do it all by themselves

I fight Rape Culture because
When I told my ex boyfriend about my rape
He ‘forgave’ me.
I fight Rape Culture because
I saw my baby sister age overnight
As she told me about her best friend getting molested.
I fight Rape Culture because
My closest friend was abused as a child
And he told nobody but me.
It took him 13 years to open up.
I fight Rape Culture because
My friends admit to letting their partners fuck them when they don’t want it
Then laugh it off as typical male behaviour.
I fight Rape Culture because
Saying that you’re raping someone is perfectly acceptable
If you’re playing a video game.
I fight Rape Culture because
Men tell me they are insulted when women walking in front of them start to walk faster.
As if their ego is more important than our safety.
I fight Rape Culture because
If I tell somebody their rape joke isn’t funny
I am told that I’m uptight.
I fight Rape Culture because
It won’t die out
Unless we kill it ourselves.

"HIGH SCHOOL
This is how to run a stick of Chapstick
down the black boxes on your scantron
so the grading machine skips the wrong
answers. This is how to honor roll. Hell,
this is how to National Honor Society.
This is being voted “Most Likely to Marry
for Money” or “Talks the Most, Says the
Least” for senior superlatives. This is
stepping around the kids having panic
attacks in the hallway. This is being the
kid having a panic attack in the hallway.
This is making the A with purple moons
stamped under both eyes. We had to try.
This is telling the ACT supervisor you have
ADHD to get extra time. Today, the average
high school student has the same anxiety
levels as the average 1950’s psychiatric
patient. We know the Pythagorean theorem
by heart, but short-circuit when asked
“How are you?” We don’t know. We don’t
know. That wasn’t on the study guide.
We usually know the answer, but rarely
know ourselves."
