My bread post has made it past the TF2 fandom and now a bunch of homestucks are reblogging it….
Why Men Need Feminism Too
yayfeminism:
Have you ever felt:
- Insecure because your body wasn’t big enough, strong enough, or slim enough?
- Pressured to be tough, aggressive and competitive beyond your comfort zone?
- Ashamed of your interest in cooking, fashion, dance, or some other activity because you were told it made you “gay” or “a girl”?
- Offended by media representations of helpless adult men who cannot feed, clothe, or bathe themselves without the help of a woman?
- Burdened by expectations to objectify women, have sex with many women and be sexually aggressive?
- Helpless when dealing with feelings of sadness, hurt, and shame because you were taught to believe that emotions show weakness and that “real men help themselves”?
- Confused at how to be sensitive and kind but still be sexually desirable?
- Alone when you suffered an injury but had to “handle it”?
- Afraid of being called a “sissy,” “wimp,” “f*g,” “p*ssy,” or “b**ch,”?
- Ambivalent about what it means to be a “real man”?
If even one or two of these is true, then you need feminism.
Why Feminism Helps Men
Feminism is about changing the gender roles, sexual norms, and sexist practices that limit you and punish you when whenever you deviate from them.
And the experiences listed above (and more) do exactly that: tell you what a “man” should be and punish you when you want to act differently.
All men have been hurt by the traditional gender system.

I had to walk on a broken leg for three days when I was a kid because my dad told me to man up and walk it off each time I said it hurt. It was three days before my dad finally took me to the Doctors.

It gets even better when it’s from someone you stopped following!
Who the hell are you and why are you looking at a post that old?

ive been asked a few times how i draw back-views, especially for character sheets so i wanted to share a little trick I learned a while back that’s really really helpful especially if you’re used to drawing things from the front and need help getting the proportions right from the back view.
You don’t ALWAYS have to do this the way that I do; The only reason I put effort into the front view is because this is going to be a character sheet and I need the front view to be fleshed out.
But alternatively; Just sketch out a sillhouette, then fill it in on a higher layer.
Sorry if someones already done this before im just answering a frequently asked question ;w;
this blew my mind more than kurt cobain with a shotgun.

Feel free to make your own one of these. I tried to include as many as I could onto a photoset, the limit being 10. B) If I messed up at all, feel free to tell me. I might make more later.
It was to celebrate same sex marriage being allowed in two more states. Way to not be satisfied, but it’s tumblr, the land of no research and un-satisfaction.
This is tumblr, the land where you are lynched if you’re straight, nobody cares if you’re gay and all anyone wants is more.
