Homosexuality, (White) Males, and being over-weight.

This post is kind of all over the place. Sorry about that. I may or may not wind up adding onto it as time goes on.

Homosexuality:
I don't think it's a sin, or wrong, or harmful to children, or should be illegal. It's not a choice, it has no effect on your life. Why does it matter to you that someone else you probably know nothing about is dating someone of the same sex?

It amazes me how some people could be so ignorant as to say it's a choice. Uhm, hello? Who would choose to be gay knowing how badly people get treated because of it? Why would they choose to make their life harder?
Did you choose to be straight?

Will someone please, logically, tell me why it's wrong to be gay? It's a fucking sexuality, they're not monsters.
LOOK AT THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT.

Please, tell me why they should be castrated. Also, not every homosexual as balls. ._.

If you honestly are so immature that you can't handle seeing two grown men cuddle on tv, then maybe you should stop watching tv.

You'd delete your twitter just because a homosexual followed you? LOL, You should try growing up.

So, you tweeted to the public that if your child was a homosexual you'd start abusing them because of something they have no control over? Seriously?

Who the hell are you to tell someone they are or are not a true christian. You can't even begin to understand the struggle homosexuals have with not only society, but with themselves.

It doesn't matter if you're ok, nobody's looking for your approval, and you don't have to look at them doing that. That's their business, and it shouldn't matter to you in the slightest seeing as it's not effecting your life one bit.

So they could be walking and you'd just cringe at them. That's literally the only reason? If they're being intimate, why are you even looking. Do you stop to look at straight couples being intimate in public? If you don't, why would you stop to look at gay couples being intimate?

Wow, talk about immature. If you're going to react like a child seeing their parents kiss, maybe you shouldn't be watching a tv show that is clearly more mature than you can handle.

Seriously? Your sister is, god forbid, friends with someone who's bisexual, and you're so grossed out you won't even go near your own sister anymore because of who she's friends with? Talk about a horrible sibling.

How is their life screwed up because of how they dress and act? If they're hurting people  then ok, maybe their life is screwed up, but what if they just like to dress and act that way, what if they're a transgender/transexual? If you're going to judge someone you probably don't know personally because of how they're dressed or how they're acting, your life is screwed up.

And for those of which are parents, and homophobes complaining as to how they could possibly explain a homosexual relationship to their child, try this on for size.

"It's a relationship like that of a man and womans but between two men, or two women."

BAM! An explanation. Like, honestly, I grew up watching the Powerpuff  girls and I never questioned HIM, y'know, the giant red lobster man/lady with the high pitched voice? Yeah, I never questioned him. I mean, honestly,  why do you act like a child is so stupid that they can't grasp the concept of a homosexual relationship. Like, if they found out about them their world would fall apart at the seams.

(White) Males:

I saw a post on tumblr with this image saying:

Men feel the pressures of society just as much as women. Through my internet searches I have come across nothing that encourages body positivity in men. This needs to change.

This image and post in general garnered quite some attention, and there were quite a few people putting it down saying things like:

"Please, tell me of the struggles this dude faces as a white male. I’m really interested in hearing about the alternate reality that he inhabits. "

"WHAT A DUMBASS POST
CRY HARDER WHITE BOY"

"Booohooooo who says all girls wanna look like barbie dipshit"

Luckily, there was someone there to respond to the post, saying:

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you guys honestly saying that just because he’s a man and white? Are you fucking kidding me? You all do realize what you’re technically saying right? You’re pretty much saying that that this guy has no right to be sad because there are people out there who have it worse. I thought that was one of the main things you never tell a person with depression, so why are any of you saying that here?
Seriously, what world do you guys live in? What if a white man abused as a child? What if they were told that they were not good enough by their family and and people around him? Do you think every white guy lives a life where everybody loves them, nobody thinks they’re ugly and they get everything they want by simply asking for it once? You have to be a complete fool to believe that.
Are you trying to tell me that a white person can’t be depressed because he is “privileged over everybody else”? Let me put it to you like this: Let’s say a white man loses his job, is insecure about his body (because maybe he’s not very tall or muscular, which is what society today tells a man he should look like), and has no friends. Now let’s say you have a successful black business woman who makes a lot of money, has a great social life, but also has depression. Which one of these two people has more right to be depressed? The answer: NEITHER!!!! Because depression is not always about how successful you are life or what you have. Depression is feeling that you’re not a good enough person no matter who you are and how hard you try.
All you that contributed to the above commentary should be ashamed of yourselves. There are people out there, include white boys, who hate themselves because of their looks. They will self harm just like anybody else with self hate issues, but none of you care. All you care about is their gender and skin color. I’d hate to see what any of you would say if ever met a cutter that happened to be a white guy. What would you say when if showed you his scars? Would you laugh in his face? What if he told you that he attempted suicide? Would you roll your eyes at him?
None of you are any better than those racist and sexist people you claim to hate so much. You don’t want equality. You want anybody that shares physical similarities with “the oppressor” to feel like shit. You want people who to be looked down upon because of the their race and gender; two things they have no control over. How is that any better than someone belittling a black/hispanic/asian/etc person because of a broad and untrue generalization?
I’ve come to realize this important fact: Tumblr isn’t the safe haven for logical people that so many people want to claim it is. It’s full immature, hypocritical , and ignorant people just like any other website. I don’t care if I lose followers because of this. This has to stop."

I mean, really, why does someone being white and male make them someone who can't have issues, or problem? I'm very sure there are assholes who are white males, but that doesn't mean that all white males are assholes. White males can suffer from eating disorders just as much as any other male can. They can be mistreated for their sexuality, how they dress, how they talk just as much as any male can.

A boy of nine who was found hanged is believed to have killed himself after he was ‘bullied for being white’ by an Asian gang at school.

Aaron Dugmore – thought to be one of the youngest children in the UK to commit suicide – was discovered in his bedroom after being tormented for months, his parents said.

They said Aaron was threatened with a plastic knife by one Asian pupil, who warned him: ‘Next time it will be a real one.’

He was also allegedly told by another pupil that ‘all the white people should be dead’ and he was forced to hide from the bullies in the playground at lunchtime.

A nine year old white boy was made to feel guilty about his being white because an 'asian gang' bullied him for it and convinced him it was unacceptable and tormented him because of it to the point where he was hiding during lunchtime. A 9 year old boy. 9 YEAR OLD BOY.
HE KILLED HIMSELF BECAUSE PEOPLE PICKED ON HIM FOR BEING WHITE. I'm sorry, but no nine year old kid should ever have to come to the conclusion that they should end their life because of what people are saying about them, or doing to them. I got picked on so much that by the time i was 10, I wanted to die and if I had any guts, I wouldn't be here right now. It's horrifying to me that kids are contemplating suicide at such young age. It's horrifying to me that anyone gets hurt and picked on to the point where they're contemplating suicide at all.

Being Over-Weight or 'Fat':

"‘Fat’ is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her.

I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me; but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I’m not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writer and earning my living by using my brain…

I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’

‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’

What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!

I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons.

Fat people do not have to be healthy in order to deserve dignity

Fat people do not have to be healthy in order to deserve dignity

Fat people do not have to be healthy in order to deserve dignity

If I see someone say, “It’s ok to be fat as long as you’re healthy,” one more time I’m gonna lose it. I know this is a crazy radical idea, but how about someone’s health has nothing to do with how you should treat them or how much respect they are deserving of?

Daily reminder that invisible illnesses do exist.
You cannot look at a person and tell whether or not they are healthy.
You cannot look at a person and tell whether or not they have a disability.
You cannot look at a person and know what they are and are not capable of.
Instead of “worrying” about everyone else’s health (i.e. being a concern troll), worry about your own health.

• the solution to misogyny IS NOT misandry
• the solution to negative body images IS NOT calling thin girls “ugly”
• the solution to racism IS NOT targeting white people
• the solution to homophobia IS NOT hating straight people
• the solution to transphobia IS NOT hating cisgendered people
• THE SOLUTION TO OPPRESSION IS NOT BY OPPRESSING MORE PEOPLE

 

Cake or collar bones dry thinning hair?? 

Pizza or a thigh gap dry peeling skin?? 

Ice cream or hip bones dull eyes?? 

Food or a nice body death?? 

Think before you eat encourage others to throw their lives away by posting your pro-ana shit all over the internet where vulnerable naive teenagers can read and imitate your illness that you don’t even possess.
