Quote reblogged from Let Freedom LulzWhy is the term “friend zone” so popular when the term “unrequited love” already exists and is more accurate? I suspect it’s because it shifts the locus of responsibility. “Unrequited love” focuses on the person who has the crush. The feelings being discussed are the crushing person’s, thus the responsibility is on them to get over their crush and move on. “Friend zone”, on the other hand, focuses on the crush object’s choices. The phrase erases the agency of the crushing person. All blame for their pain is put on the crush object. “Unrequited love” is something that can happen to both sexes, but “friend zone” is a sexist concept that implies that women are solely responsible for men’s happiness, and not men themselves.

I happened to catch this interview yesterday morning, and it made me grin like an idiot in the middle of a Toyota dealership. Fuck you Matt Lauer, and mad props to Anne Hathaway for such a composed and kickass response to that question.

three tbsp seems like too little liquor
I think you’re right. I made some tonight (with Sailor Jerry’s ‘cuz it’s what I had), and, while they are delicious cookies, they taste no different than regular chocolate chip cookies. Hm…

Today we commemorate the 14 women who were murdered in cold blood at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal 23 years ago today. Besides those women, the murderer injured ten others before turning the weapon on himself. In his suicide note, he blamed feminism for ruining his life, and told his victims that he was fighting feminism.
It’s not something that I heard about as an American growing up, but it’s a stark reminder that when we postulate about “war on men” and how men are losing out on their birthright to women, we set the narrative for people like this to make women their scapegoat. There is genuine harm that comes from humoring the nonsense of traditional gender roles, and we must not forget that.
So today, take a moment to remember the 14 engineering students that were killed by a stranger simply for being women.

What I want to talk about is how emotional outbursts typically more associated with men (shouting, expressing anger openly) are given a pass in public discourse in a way that emotional outbursts typically more associated with women (crying, “getting upset”) are stigmatized.
I wish to dispel the notion that women are “more emotional.” I don’t think we are. I think that the emotions women stereotypically express are what men call “emotions,” and the emotions that men typically express are somehow considered by men to be something else.From the article When Men Get Too Emotional to Have a Rational Argument (via rabbleprochoice)This is such a great piece. When I was a kid, my dad (bless his loving, but ignorant heart) would basically rage quit conversations, but imply I was on my period if I got upset and cried about something.
