On a scale from Will Smith to Amanda Bynes how much have you changed in the past 10 years

You should have asked him if he would have repeated those same jokes in front of his mother. ..

I said it to the youngest one in the room, for crying out loud he’s only 13! I will be having a talk with my aunt about restricting/limiting his access to the wonders of the world wide web. I don’t know why they’ve given him so much autonomy at such a young age??

I told the older one that we should be so proud we are training them to be hateful misogynists so young. Everyone got quiet on that one, the jokes totally seized after that. 

My cousin called me a feminist last night. I don’t mind, of course, but the context and tone in which he called me one made me want to smack him upside the head. I told him listening to gross jokes about my gender isn’t feminism. But I kept thinking more of it later on.

I am not a feminist because I would rather not sit and listen to incredibly demeaning, insulting, and disgusting jokes about my gender. That’s not feminism, that’s just common human decency. And the fact that there were two other girls in the room, and no one had the guts or even the idea to say something against listening to misogynistic jokes and were subsequently laughing at those jokes made me a little sick. 

This is our society people. We sit around a circle, in a mixed gathering, where men (young and old) make fun of blondes, brunettes, black, asian, white, skinny, and/or overweight women and we all laugh—hell, we join in, we contribute. Because it’s just so damn funny to hear about how a blonde girl rarely goes to her own bed every night, or how she’s so ‘slutty’ she doesn’t know how to take off her own pants.

Where’s that pail? I think I might be needing it.

White people get mad when you wear a band t shirt of a band you don’t listen to, but they’re fine with wearing headdresses from cultures they know and care nothing about.
