“The world is not full of Attractive People and Unattractive People. It’s full of people who are attractive to some and not to others. I hear from trolls all the time who complain that they don’t want to be “forced” to find nasty, ugly fat women attractive–which utterly baffles me, since the last thing I want to do is encourage fat-hating dicks to date fat women. You don’t find fat people attractive? Fabulous. Don’t date them. I will find a way to pick myself up and move on without your love. But to assume your lack of sexual interest in fat chicks must be universal–or that the mere existence of self-confident fat people having healthy relationships somehow “forces” you to find fat attractive–is the height of fucking narcissism.”

I love this quote, but the problem is more than individual people. We live in a culture that encourages fat hatred and we live in a culture where if you have a crush on a fat girl and you’re a dude, you’re going to be thought less of by your bros and your masculinity will be called into question for daring to want someone outside the norm and it’s pervasive and disgusting and hurts a lot of people.
And I think we need to address that on more than an individual level. The individual level is a good place to start but it’s not enough.

Gay marriage shouldn't even have to be legalized. It should have been legal from the start. Marriage is a human right and love is love.

I’ve experienced much of this.
Err uhh this uses some fairly problematic language sometimes, but this is all so true. I’ve experienced all but one.
Totally reblogging this because it is so true. It’s a very sexist, heteronormative idea that girls* do not think about sex; and, if they do, not as much as boys*. Girls* think about sex just as much as - if not, more than - boys*. I had a teacher once say that boys* thought about sex every 7 seconds. I remember all the girls* in the class all giggling…and I’m just sitting there like, *massive eye rolling* .
And, for the record, some girls* DO have body parts that give it away…just as some boys* do not.
To answer a boy’s question:
Girls think about sex. Like… all the time. Probably more then boys do. But we don’t have body parts that give it away that we’re horny.
