I literally canât get myself to sit through movies that donât have women. Iâm like where the fuck are the women? Why are there so many men? This is boring as fuck goodbye
Even if itâs historically accurate?
as everyone knows, women were invented in 1990
All the notes of âwomen werenât on old time battlefieldsâ are wrong. There were more prostitutes and merchant women than there were soldiers in most every encampment. They followed the armies, marching alongside them, and notably ran the camps.
Many more women dressed as men to fight.
Long before female nurses were officially considered to be a part of the military, they were already on the battlefield. They merely didnât get written into official reports because they were âinvisible womenâ, ânot supposed to be thereâ. Usually they would be local women running a makeshift care center out of their homes.
Movies involving ancient societies? Guess how many had female fighters?
Spies? Mostly female. Yeah, only the men were caught, usually (because nobody suspected the servant woman), but historians believe most cases had more women spies than men. Most cases meaning across time and continents.
Giving me a movie on samurai? Women were trained as well to avoid being captured and raped, and often fought just as hard as men. One woman notably survived multiple battles, and became a hero alongside her sisters after taking out 7 men before dying in her last fight (usually in sword fighting youâd be lucky to take out 2 enemy soldiers. 7 is fucking insane, but because she was a woman it was shoved under the records how the lord managed to survive).
Women have ALWAYS been on battlefields. Women have an intense history in driving victories and losses alike. They were supply runners, fighters, spies, assassins, prostitutes (look up how prostitutes essentially ran the western world, or even the social status of harem members. They literally fucking ruled), even underground activists.
The only time there werenât many women were with cowboys. Actual western cowboys tended to be both POC and gay. In fact, any time women didnât have a near equal or greater presence, there was a LOT of gay men.
History: either 80% female or 100% gay. And itâs 95% POC.
asking for straight pride is like asking for able bodied parking spaces
thats a really good comparison because there are about seventy able bodied parking spaces to one disabled and able bodied people still insist on using the ones that arent theirs
âObviously âbihetâ offends a lot of bisexuals, so we need to come up with a better term for bisexuals in m/f relationships.â
How about⌠and hear me out⌠this may sound crazyâŚ. but you⌠continue to call us bisexual⌠because (and I realize this gets confusing for you people so read this next part slowly) it turns out we continue to be bisexual regardless of who weâre dating.
Okay, this shit gets me all heated up. Iâm just a cisgay dude up in here, but I have Some Opinions about this nonsense.
Bisexual people in relationships with folks of the other gender are not only themselves still bisexual (Iâm really ashamed of a bunch of all that this shit even needs to be said, like câmon), but their relationships are queer.
Yes, I just said that straight people can be involved in queer relationships without they themselves being queer.
The reason for this is simple: folks who are in relationships with queer people will always have to deal with their partnerâs marginalization impacting their relationship. Always. Even if their bisexual partner chooses to be entirely stealth about their queerness (and thatâs their right, by gods, fight me about it), their relationship is still impacted by that very choice existing. Itâs a facet heterosexual relationships never have to negotiate.
Frankly, bisexual folks have to deal with active marginalization from multiple angles: heterocentrist and homocentrist. And in case I actually have to say this aloud? We should not be fucking marginalizing our own, yâall. That makes you a bad person, and you should feel bad.
To sum up: Bisexual folks are queer as hell. Straight folks can be in queer relationships without themselves ever being queer. And FFS please stop harassing bi- and pan-folks already, man. Itâs 2018. Find hobbies that are not shitty.
I love this addition to my post so much thank you.
whoever timed the film to the music is fucking brilliant this is gorgeous and oh my god i know theyâre made of a lot of fat/blubber but this gave me like seven heart attacks
Clumsy pillows
Iâve pulled my tshirt up over my face to try and hide the fact that I am crying with laughter on the coach full of people.
my parents just told my nine year old brother that he should call me by my chosen name instead of my birth name. my father said âso â[birth name]â wonât be said anymoreâ and his first response was âso like Darth Vader isnât called Anakin Skywalker anymoreâ
our chosen names are just our sith names, welcome to the dark side
