“Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one...”

“Hi Clementine, why are you such a useless piece of shit? can you fucking stab yourself in the head? Thanks”
That’s a good question anonymous commentor. I guess my immediate response would be that it’s genetic, because my entire family are useless pieces of shit. It’s like, a disease or something, or a syndrome.
The next thing I’d say is that I’m a...
“I felt sick in the stomach, i feel like i could cry. How much of this raping...”
– A caller to Alan Jones’ radio program, clip played during an interview with Prime Minister Julia Gilalrd. (via thewetmale)
Again with the use of “rape” as a metaphor. Grrrr. And the rest of it? GAH. (via mischasbrainfarts)
Yes. Because exactly what this government has been doing is...
“Here’s what we can do right now to change the world. Take all that money we...”

Right on. Guns are dumb.
“Rape isn’t a ‘natural hazard’ like a cliff edge that women must be careful to...”
– Excellent cliff analogy.

Yesterday, Julia Gillard kept Alan Jones waiting for ten minutes. TEN MINUTES. When he had a JOB to do. The most IMPORTANT job you could POSSIBLY imagine. And she just kep him there, waiting!
Because she’s a liar. A Ju-LIAR. And she eats kittens. In fact, that’s why she was so late. Because she was at home, eating Australia’s kittens with a low fat dressing on the side. And then...

“I would say that what we’re looking at here is political and legal gang rape of my son.” Bad call, Ms. Assange. While the role that Wikileaks plays in this world is of vital importance, and I would be one of the first to put my hand up to protest any threat on it’s existence, inflammatory…
Also: can everyone refrain from judging the charges as being insignificant because...
You've Been Left Behind →
I really want this website to be real. Because while it definitely IS nutso, it’s also quite sweet. If you’re going to believe in the Rapture and the eternal salvation of the Bible following God Squad, why not be the nice kind of Christian who wants to make sure your pets are taken care of, and that the people unlucky enough to be rejected by God know that you love them?
I think my...

– Tony, taking equality back to the 1930’s. (via rememberwhentonysaid) (additional sauce)
Stay classy Tony Abbott.
“It’s an historic and international phenomenon that still astonishes me. No...”
– Virginia Trioli (via lippykid)
I often wonder if all that separates us from savagery is the rule of law and the provision of comfort.
Anonymous asked: you come up all the time when i'm actually looking for clementine, the actress. but you're also hot, so it's okay ;D
“…Women are part of the symbols of capture and destruction that must be...”
– northonm31’s response to my response to that earlier quote thing. And this exactly supports the dismantling of Elizabeth Farrelly’s piece. Pretty sure Corky doesn’t feel emasculated by women being good at shit.

And in other news, will we ever see a day in which an article is published on feminism that DOESN’T, under the guise of ‘exploring’ problematic side effects of gender equality, seek to misrepresent what feminism actually is?
I’m so tired of the MSM publishing these pseudo intellectual pieces that ponder the fallout of pursuing gender equality. I understand that...
“You think graffiti is ugly? Gigantic posters of ridiculous photo shopped guys in...”
– I love this quote (via newwavefeminism)
There’s nothing greater than the desire to have your existence recognised. One of Banksy’s greatest pieces is the one where he erects a cave painting of two shopping trolleys in (I think) The Tate. Someone tags a train stop now and we call it...
Tripoli man's terror in 'city under siege' - ABC... →
msbloom:
This must be absolutely terrifying.
Mr Gaddafi went on national television overnight to declare war on opponents of his regime, saying protesters would be hunted down door to door and executed.
Amid reports of widespread fighting between protesters and government forces in Tripoli, one man has told ABC Radio’s The World Today the city is under siege.
Waiting at home with only a...

– Eddie Vedder Reclamation 1992 (via severin)
Relevant! (via asktheangels)
Watching the news, I realise I’ve been hoping the tweets coming from Libya have been exaggerated. But footage from the ground and Gaddafi’s own rambling speech of insanity indicates that’s not the case. I just can’t believe the depths humanity can stoop to at the same time as the heights to which they can soar.
We have an unmitigated disaster playing out in New Zealand to...

Follow that link to see something wonderful.
There are so many ways we can show our support for people fighting for their rights if we just think outside the box. I love the display of camaraderie in this. Perhaps the world is becoming a nicer, more connected place?
