…….What? How? How does this have anything to do with gender? Last time I checked, there were black men and black women in this world. What an idiot…
I’m sorry but…
WHAT? One, there are “dark” men too. Second, what in the fuck does that have to do with feminism?
…What?

yes there are obviously black men, but who do you think skin lightening products are targeted at? she’s saying that to appeal to beauty standards in the us (which are set by white people, but also by men) that a lot of women use skin whitening cream, and are encouraged to use it. which is so, so fucked up. if you think racism and sexism aren’t closely intertwined idk what to tell you
Exactly. Women of color are told they’re undesirable, or that their only redeeming traits are their ass, thighs, curves, or breasts, because the standards for beauty have set by white misogynists who dehumanize and festishize WOC. They’ll tell you to put these harmful chemicals on your skin and take your dollar, but they won’t take your ass.
The fact that skin lightening products are sold means that there is a demand for people who want lighter skin because they have been rejected and condemned for their bodies.
DO YOU FUCKING PEOPLE ACTUALLY NOT SEE THE HARMFUL CORRELATION BETWEEN THIS SHIT.
they also sell skin DARKENING CREAM. so shut up. -_-

The Whale… If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around as she was thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

I mean, homophobia, misogyny, etc. is the worst thing anyone can imagine, but misandry, heterophobia, etc. is okay?
Shit, I’ve even seen shirts when cute, innocent animals on it smiling with the words like heterophobia or misandry, and people are eating that shit up.
However, if I do the…
how are these blogs not being reported/shut down for hate speech?

Shit, I’ve even seen shirts when cute, innocent animals on it smiling with the words like heterophobia or misandry, and people are eating that shit up.
However, if I do the same thing only with the words misogyny or homophobia, then I’d get a lot of hate mail and/or death threats or maybe even law suits because of hate speech.
Also, a lot, and I fucking mean a lot, of people on Tumblr thinks it’s okay to bully white people and make “offensive” jokes on them, but God forbid if someone does the same thing for black people/Asian people/Spanish people/etc.
In fact, I can give you guys a couple of examples:
http://littlemisandristthings.tumblr.com/
http://callingoutbigotry.tumblr.com/
http://i-once-had-a-guy-tell-me.tumblr.com/ (Not as offensive or bad, but still on my iffy side)
http://iphisquandary.tumblr.com/ (I seriously want to slap her across the fucking face)
And so on, and so forth.
Really? Is this really how low our society is going?
Fuck that shit.
Oppression is oppression, and hate is hate, no matter what group you’re hating on.
And if you act like the following people I’ve mentioned, here’s a message to you:
Fuck you.
You’re not proving anyone’s point. You’re not fucking making the world better. You’re acting just as bigoted as the people you call out.
