Negative experience = because of your fat
Positive experience = in spite of your fat
Also: this is a fab post, but don’t read the comments. I cried.

I love this quote so much, and I think it’s applicable to much more than just asexuality.

Tuesday May 5 @ 01:14pmDon’t ever try hard at anything b/c you could still end up sucking at it even if you try, and that’s a huge self-esteem crusher. Instead just half-ass everything and then quietly reassure yourself that the things you do would turn out better if you actually put effort into them. Failure is scary, man, just float on through
iriketoitles asked: pssssst. i have nothing in particular to say, im just really bored, and felt like giving you something to read xD so as you already know, i have quite a bit respect for you simply because of the kind of person that you are. and i just felt like taking a minute to re-acknowledge the fact. (definitely not because i dont feel like doing homework :P )
Awww, thank you! Always happy to help a fellow procrastinator ;)

Let me tell you something: as someone who faces sexism on a very personal level, I have no interest in politely trying to educate misogynists when we live in a culture in which their misogyny has no repercussions. Our government is introducing bill after bill of offensive, woman-hating legislation, murder is still the leading cause of pregnant women, and rape is under-prosecuted at staggering numbers. Birth control is up for debate, governors are rolling back equal pay laws, and you think I have the energy to be polite to these people?
No.
Because it doesn’t do any good. There’s no evidence that being super nice to sexists, or racists, or homophobes, or bigots of any kind will make them see the error of their ways - it’ll just make them more comfortable to be around you because you’re playing by their rules.
My blog is one of the only times these people will face any repercussions for being bigots. And you know what? They can turn off the computer and go right back out into the world where they are sexist jackasses and people tolerate it or even encourage it. When I turn off the computer, I’m still in a world of sexist jackasses that are tolerated and even encouraged. There’s this culture of not having any accountability for being a bigot, and I’ve created one tiny space on the internet where that’s no longer true.
