Zoo Weekly asked its readers to pick which half of this woman they preferred, and why. It was, of course, promptly pulled from their page.

Ugh.

Fucking pigs.

Men, you’re fucking up so badly right now. THIS is why women hate you, dehumanizing bullshit LIKE.THIS.

And I swear to the gods if any of you come at me with “We’re nawt all lyke that” I’ll rip your throats out.

but i mean why even ask if you weren’t looking for these answers

if you didn’t already think this shit was funny

why

just waiting for the waaaaaah not all men are like that! brigade to show up

This makes me feel sick. And I agree, why would you post this and not expect answers like this? :/

I just want to say that this is why minority representation in the media matters. Mae Jemison was inspired to become an astronaut after watching Nichelle Nichols as Uhura on Star Trek.

amandapalmer: dear PETA, this ad is really upsetting. you’re implying that pubic hair that shows/grows “outside the pantyline” (which is normal/natural for the vast majority of us gals) is “unattractive”….this is the kind of shit Gillette and Nair would pull to hock product, and the sort of cultural beauty-standard malarkey that is contributing to a generally worrying trend…12 and 13 year old girls demanding full bikini waxes and all the shit that I think we can all basically agree is absurd. fur, bad. yes. i’m with you. but this ad is perpetuating really unhealthy attitudes. fear and unhappiness in the body-hair department is becoming more and more prevalent in young girls (and all women), because they feel they have no alternative. most feel like they’ll be judged if they don’t tow the party line, and an organization like PETA has more cred (you’re somewhat cool, right? you’re forward-thinking people fighting for a noble cause, right?) than a corporate hair-removal/razor company. despite the strides of progress made by the generation of women who came before us, we’re slipping backwards. the beauty standard is presenting a more and more difficult struggle for young women. ads like this are part of the problem. PETA, if you care about animals, and their health and overall happiness index, take your human animals into account alongside the rest of them. compassion for all. yours, afp

Socialism Art Nature: Obama: Neither Christ nor Satan

socialismartnature:

The hardcore liberal Obama fanatics and the hardcore conservative Obama haters are BOTH WRONG when it comes to an honest appraisal of the man; He is neither Christ nor Satan. Ironically, what both groups share is a refusal to acknowledge how conservative he’s actually been on issues of foreign…

‎”One day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America?’ And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life’s market place. But one day we must come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. It means that questions must be raised. You see, my friends, when you deal with this, you begin to ask the question, ‘Who owns the oil?’ You begin to ask the question, ‘Who owns the iron ore?’ You begin to ask the question, ‘Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that is two thirds water?’ These are questions that must be asked.”

Man Says Watching His Wife Give Birth Scared Him Away From Her Vagina

jezebelcom:

Here’s the Daily Mail trolling us again, this time with a first-person account of how one man was so “traumatized” by witnessing his wife give birth to their son that he was “turned off” from having sex with her for an entire year. He says the “memories of childbirth”—which, BTW, he only looked at, and didn’t actually, you know, feel—affected the way he viewed his wife, adding that, “There’s no denying that having a baby changes a woman’s body immeasurably. People don’t like to talk about scars from the Caesarean, saggy stomachs or greatly increased nipple size, but that’s the reality.” Grab your pitchforks and torches.
