I think I’m a pretty self-reflective person. I think I try really hard to listen and learn and grow. I like the idea of evolving. Some days I evolve more than other days. Some days I do the opposite of evolving. Which, I guess, is still evolving, but in less desirable ways.

Hi there, 

I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from. My intention was not to pick on equalityspeaks, I was pointing out that her post was problematic because it used ableist language in the title.

I understood before I responded to her post that it was not her original post and therefore not her speech, but a blog that commits  itself to social justice needs to examine what it is publishing. 

I follow equalityspeaks, so I was not trolling the blog through tags or whatever, it showed up on my dashboard and I took problem with the post. 

I usually enjoy what is published by the blog, this one was problematic because it used  ableist language. I have no high horse, I don’t criticize things, if anything I try to hold people accountable for what they are saying. 

If the owner of equalityspeaks wishes to speak with me about this matter, I would be more than happy to explain to her why I was disappointed in her post. 

If she was just assisting you with your phone, she easily could have sent you a message or some other form of communication. 

Thanks for voicing your concerns though!

All the best,

Jan.

I’m confused as to why a blog titled ‘equality speaks’ would reblog a post that has ‘retard me’ in the title.

Planned Parenthood is on Tumblr!

plannedparenthood:

Planned Parenthood is excited to be launching our new Tumblr that’s all about sexual and reproductive health – bodies, birth control, relationship issues, “is it normal for this to do this?” type things. In the coming weeks and months we’ll be sharing what we know, answering questions, and just… tumblring. 

We hope you like it! And we hope it helps.

stand a little taller: writing a research paper about feminism is really damn annoying →

Perhaps your paper should focus on the efforts of feminism to revalorize the feminine as something that women ‘choose’ to do and not something they’re ‘socialized’ into because of gendered scripts?

i’m really not a fan of feminism.

“I was frankly disgusted by the stereotypical depictions of women in CBS’ news stories, although it should not have been a surprise. The vast majority of women shown as subjects of news stories played very “feminine” roles: teachers, wives, mothers and…
