Why I’m raising my son to be a nerd - CNN.com (via amstibovvered)

We can tell our children that school is important until we’re blue in the face, they’re not stupid. They see the loudest applause is for the kids on the field. They know teachers are paid poorly and don’t drive fancy cars. They know people plan Super Bowl parties but mock the National Spelling Bee. In other words, they see the hypocrisy, and we can’t expect society to correct itself. If we want to have any lasting influence on the way our kids approach education — the way future generations approach education — then we have to grab our pom-poms and paint our faces and celebrate intellectual curiosity with the same vigor we do their athletic achievements.

from 1-2-3 Punch: How Misogyny Hurts Queer Communities-


My point is that the fact that there’s someone who has it worse doesn’t mean someone else’s problems with intolerance or invisibility don’t matter.

hey, did you miss the entire 2nd paragraph where the author says “I understand that queer communities often fail to recognize/legitimate Femme as a non-heteronormative identity. I understand that being made to feel invisible among a community of people of whom you identify with feels shitty. I understand that this form of exclusion is invalidating and divisive. Without a doubt, these things are problematic and should be confronted.” 
Or did you choose to ignore it because how dare someone acknowledge that people marginalized on one axis still have the capability of being oppressive on another?

I found it was kinda drowned out by the whole ‘But my problems are worse, so STFU’ bit.

luckily for the world, women of colour will never stop calling out racism even when it comes from their supposed “allies” 

Good for them, so they should, but what racism exactly is the original post calling out?

i don’t mean this to be rude but try reading the last sentence on the image again

Separatist feminist rhetoric suggested that all men share equally in male privilege, that all men reap positive benefits from sexism. Yet the poor or working-class man who has been socialized via sexist ideology to believe that there are privileges and powers he should possess solely because he is male often finds that few, if any, of these benefits are automatically bestowed on him in life. More than any other male group in the United States, he is constantly concerned about the contradiction between the notions of masculinity he was taught and his inability to live up to that notion. He is usually ‘hurt,’ emotionally scarred because he does not have the privilege or power society has taught him ‘real men’ should possess. Alienated, frustrated, pissed off, he may attack, abuse, and oppress and individual woman or women, but he is not reaping positive benefits from his support and perpetuation of sexist ideology.
