I need feminism because some people want to change the lyrics in that song ‘My Name Is’ by Eminem to include the phrase ‘Curvy Shady’ because ‘Slim Shady’ is apparently really offensive to fat women and I need the radical feminists to take over the world and produce their ‘feminist utopia’ and commit massive acts of gender-based genocide/infanticide/sex-specific abortions so the...
I always like those blogs that specialise in normalising body things, like body hair on women, fat stomachs, downward breasts etc.
But I think the problem is, there’s not much intersection between them. Like, it’s much easier to accept a hairy stomach if it’s not distended.
And that’s before even getting into social intersection :/
List of fat tumblr bloggers who should go away.

In order to create safe space for the rest of us, those of us that are not white cis women who are the mainstream definition of “beautiful” and acceptable fat, we have to hold each other accountable, utilize the spaces we share (tumblr is a space we share) and make them safe. So, with that spirit in mind, I’m puttin this list together because these are active and popular...

Thin privilege is not having people stare at you like “Ohh, of course you are…” when you tell them you’re a pastry chef/baker

“Would you like some more wine?” Kanye asks. “Of course.” is the reply. “We have to do this more often.” he whispers and lifts a spoonful of ice cream to his lover’s lips. Kim watches from the doorway and wonders where on earth Kanye got a cardboard cutout of himself.

Neurotypical privilege is never having someone think it’s a funny joke to ask you to prom.
Note: This seriously happened to someone at my school. One student with autism had a fairly obvious crush on one of the girls in his class. She and her friends thought it would be hilarious to ask him to prom as a joke, and then they laughed all day about how funny it was that he was...

The negative impact of the Olympics on East London
It is more than seven years since one of the country’s poorest boroughs found out it was to host the Olympic Games, but despite the billions of pounds of public money that has been spent in the area, the borough of Newham is now comparatively worse off in terms of income and unemployment than it was in 2005.
According to research by the London School of Economics (LSE), on behalf of the...

Thin privilege is being able to walk into Olympic Stadium in an outfit that makes you feel part of the team, instead of being forced to wear the only outfit that fits because Ralph Lauren won’t make the outfit you want to be wearing in your size.

– Dionthesocialist, hitting the nail on the fucking head as usual.
If you get called out for doing something racist, even if you didn’t mean it, don’t get all defensive. Listen to what you’re being told, and don’t do it again.

[serious trigger warning for rape]Rapists Explain...
Rapists and would-be rapists are opening up about “the other side of the story” — theirs — on a massive Reddit thread about the motivations behind sexual assault. The discussion vacillates from exasperating to disturbing, and it may make you want to roll your eyes in disgust. But you shouldn’t dismiss the discussion as mere rape apologia. There’s plenty of that, sure, but...
