Being so angry about misogyny that I think I might burn something down is a very familiar feeling. I'm trying to be zen and productive with how I feel about it, but sometimes it hits even closer to home than normal, and I'm not sure I'm capable of being that kind of person. This is beautifully written, thank you.
I AM FRANTICALLY REFRESHING MY DELIVERY TRACKING PAGE FOR IT! I am also on ps3, as inflammatori, and I am sooooooooooo excited!
There's something really lovely in knowing that this is the one comment section on basically the whole internet where I can wade in and talk to people, and I know that even if someone disagrees with me, they'll be sensible and respectful and have a conversation instead of a slur-filled screaming match!
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I'm so grateful that you had a place to call to help you through the worst of it. Be proud of yourself for that, and remember that there are always people here for you. Seconded on my username @gmail.com if you ever want or need a different kind of talking (and that goes for anyone else who needs a friendly ear <3)
Between my microbiology and my fiance's physics, we are disastrous at watching anything with a suspension of science disbelief. I kind of like it, though, it's fun to have to pause Star Trek after side-eyeing to discuss a way they could have kept the plot but made it better and more accurate!
I always feel like "bromance" is just short-hand for "I love you, no homo" which is obviously terrible and wrong and needs to be stopped immediately.
It's almost always tied into "real" women, too, which is fucked up in so many ways. As though beauty in terms of male desire is the only kind worth pursuing, and the only kind that makes women "real", gross.
