Legit reasons to hate Justin Bieber:
He said rape happens for a reason.
When asked to try out veganism he made a big show of gagging on and spitting out a vegan steak that had been ordered for him.
When he visited Anne Franks house, he wrote in the guest book that he hoped “she would have been a belieber”.
He’s a spoiled little brat.

lilrokr2:
Despite all the excited shouting, there’s nothing particularly cheerful about Yahoo’s maternal adoption of David Karp. Users are whining, investors are disappointed, pundits are ever-unimpressed, and Karp just gave up the future of his life’s work for a bailout.
Not entirely surprised.
Why aren't more people freaking out about the new...

You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?
It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

cameronesposito:
Seems like every 6 months or so - maybe once a year - there is a debate about rape jokes. Here’s how it goes:
A dude tells jokes about rape or deals with hecklers in way that includes rape. A woman hears these jokes or is the heckler. She publicly states that she is upset or didn’t like the joke or didn’t think it was funny or doesn’t think that particular joke really dealt...

are you telling me that you in no way find Beyonce sexy on your own? That your own perception, as colored by the male gaze itself, is incapable of registering that simply because men-identified individuals code something as “sexy” does not mean women-identified or queer-gender folks can’t acknowledge and appreciate sexiness?

You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he…
