Shut up and Listen

You know what's great to see? After the horrible event that took place in Manchester, I was 100% expecting to find my Facebook newsfeed filled with: "sending my hopes and prayers!!!!😪💗😩 " status  updates and people temporarily updating their profile pictures to have some cheesy flag overlay, heck why not slap a few  # WeStandWithManchester  tags in there too while you're at it. I've seen almost none of it, and for that I am so freaking thankful. Does that sound disrespectful to you? Have a think about it. Changing your pictures only to change it back later on, writing meaningless statuses, jumping on a support tag train just to stay relevant, THAT is disrespectful imo. Those things do absolutely nothing to help the victims of any devastating event. All it does is give off the image that you're a kind and caring person, and if you actually are then is it really necessary? No. If you really wanted to show your support for something, you can contr...

The outrage over this is unreal... If you’re annoyed at the casting of the  Ghost In The Shell  film then you should probably go ahead and unfollow me or something. I have a little something to say on the matter that might hurt some special snowflake feelings. I’m familiar with the franchise and I can tell you that the race of the characters is pretty fucking irrelevant to the plot. You’re all up in arms about Hollywood white-washing and how Scarlett stole a role that rightfully belonged to a Japanese woman. That’s utter bullshit.  The setting of Ghost in the Shell is an international one, and as such there is a mix of ethnicity among the actors cast in the film. The writers and the directors felt Scarlet suited the role of Motoko and wanted her because of her successful career and obvious acting capabilities.  People in Japan don’t have an issue with Scarlet’s casting as they assumed that was what would happen, and are frankly just excited that Ghost...

Alright, in regards to me tagging something on tumblr as “anti-feminist” I’m gonna clarify for anyone who’s interested I support equality , but men and women in the modern western world are pretty damn on par with one-another. Feminism is irrelevant to  me . It is relevant to third-world countries where women have no rights; but not  here . Not where I live (first-world Australia). I don’t consider “manspreading” a triggering issue worth talking about. I can walk alone at night without the constant fear that every man I see is going to rape me. If I want to work in a male-dominated field then I have the opportunities to do so. The pay gap does not exist anymore. Abortion is a general human rights issue that is mainly a religious debate, not a gender-based one. I have been cat-called  once , and it was by dumb teen boys wearing ‘mother’ energy drink shirts (aka, dickwads who would do it to anybody). Rape ‘culture’ is something feminists made-up.  Ba...
