lol forever @ people who think that ~our generation~ is the problem
“you’re lazy!!!” well, it’s hard to be proactive when it’s nearly impossible to get a decent job, school costs an arm and a leg, and internships aren’t leading to job opportunities like they used to
“you’re entitled!!!!” to … what exactly? food? water? a place to live? healthcare? equal rights? because yeah, i am entitled to those things. we all are. it’s what happens when you’re a human being
“you still live with your parents!!!” you’re correct! and i’d rather not live with my parents. can’t get a place WHEN YOU HAVE NO FUCKING MONEY

You Could Have Reblogged This From Me: A dark tale of jealousy, anger, betrayal and Tumblr.
"Many men who harass women say their intent is to compliment them, but why do they usually not “compliment” women who are accompanied by other men and often only do it when a woman is alone? Why do they tend to object to other men “complimenting” their female significant other (if applicable), female friends, or female family members? Why do some men grow hostile and violent when women do not thank them and act flattered? Why do they feel compelled to compliment women at all? Rarely are they expecting a date. Many times they do not even wait to see a woman’s reaction as they fly by in their car or as they turn to start harassing the next woman. They are doing it to exert their power, to entertain their friends, to relieve boredom, or to demonstrate that they can evaluate a complete stranger to her face, just because she is a woman."

Sounds about right.

"Women watch Game of Thrones not for the incest and other sexual skulduggery, as the New York Times suggested in its utterly bizarre review when the show premiered, but for the variety of women we see on-screen the way they exercise power. We watch to see Cersei Lannister wonder what it’s like to be a man, and to struggle between the imperatives of command and family. We watch for that moment when Brienne of Tarth beats the Knight of Flowers, and reveals herself for what she is (and I watch The Return of the King for the moment when Eowyn spits out the declaration of her gender at the Witch-King of Angmar). We watch for Sansa’s bitter, brittle bravery, and Arya’s nourishing hatred."
