"Yes, false rape accusations happen. Run the protocol anyway. I’ve heard that perhaps the military has the highest number of ‘em. True or not, RUN THE PROTOCOL ANYWAY. Because in 15 years of investigating rape accusations, I can count those that panned out as false on one hand. Meanwhile, the one time I almost skipped the protocol, the one time I almost didn’t believe a petty officer, because I was naive as an investigator and a young woman, because her commanding officer described her as “a party girl, always late, always out drinking, don’t bother with this one”, she turned out to be the victim of one of the most brutal assaults I’ve ever investigated. She shouldn’t have still been -alive-, let alone up and making the accusation. So let me repeat: five false accounts in fifteen years. And one time I almost failed a woman ‘cause of the bullshit way it’s normal to talk about us. Take your shipmates’ word, and then run the protocol. Every. Single. Time. "
Tried to send this to a friend who’s in the Navy and on his unit’s rape prevention team, but the Shortblogger app no longer lets me link someone to a single post. Shitty.

The Tampocalypse
FOR THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.
Let’s not beat around the bush here…
OR SHALL WE?!
Why the fuck is she cuddling with Tampax at what appears to be a pool that is also the ocean?
I want a tampon commercial where the women are fighting zombies or some shit.
And they’re all beat up and bloody and shoving tampons into bullet wounds to stop the bleeding.
And I want one of the ladies to full-on decapitate a zombie with a machete or maybe a scythe.
And then I want her to look directly into the camera with blood running from an open wound on her forehead and say,
“For the fighting spirit.”
^ That commercial would win all of the Oscars.
That commercial would make more sense that all this faffing about through the fields of daisies and cuddling your fucking tampons bullshit…
What are you talking about?
I sit by the pool/ocean cuddle my tampons all the fucking time.
Who wants to start a tampon company with me just so we can make that commercial?
What would it be called, Tampocalypse? I’d be game if it were called Tampocalypse.
reblogging for the priceless notes
The Tampocalypse
FOR THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.
Well periods aren’t all ‘Let me parade around in my motherfucking white bikini at the beach and shake my ass around in front of the hot boys while snuggling my tampon box”
IT’S LITERALLY A BLOOD BATH!!
IT’S A WAR!
IF YOU GET IN MY WAY, FUCKER I WILL KNOCK YOU THE FUCK OUT!
Tampocalypse.
I love the internet.
I would buy the shit outta that.
Fun fact: in a survival situation, pads (not sure about tampons) can be used to apply pressure to wounds and/or as packing. Since, well, they’re made to soak up blood.
Condoms can also be used to carry water. Or as water ballons I guess, should you need those.
The one downside to the Diva Cup: useless for field dressing.

YOU TAGGED ME OMFG
Also I might revert to using tampons again (I use a cup currently) if the company was called Tampocalypse.

“It seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.”

I want nothing to do with a feminism that excludes trans* women. Go be a cisterhood without me.
135 notes and counting. Faith in world semi-restored ♥.
Feminism must be intersectional and inclusive or it is bullshit.
dismantle the patriarchy, don’t create a new one

Looking obsessively for a t-shirt that reads something along the lines of “intersectional feminism is the only feminism”…

"The problem with Seth MacFarlane’s humor, as always, is that he’s almost always punching down instead of punching up. He’s picking on people who have always been picked upon, and he thinks he’s hilarious for doing so. What’s more, he’s making a lot of money from other people who enjoy that sort of thing. But that doesn’t make him funny. It makes him one of those fratboy douchebags who seem to be everywhere in life, even into middle age, making uncomfortably insulting wisecracks that always seem to end with the protest that “I’m just joking.” The result? The two white guys are the straight men in this bit. Everybody else—foreign, old, female—is ripe for the ribbing. "
I mean I’ve laughed at my share of his stuff but that doesn’t mean he’s a decent person. This is some truth bombing here.

When you insult a woman with one of those words, you insult her fundamental identity (being a woman) at it’s very core.
When you insult a man with one of those words, you insult him by associating him with…
I somehow keep forgetting to reblog this. Maybe I ought to print it on business cards and just hand it out to people.
Spidey, Mary Jane & THe Green Goblin by John Watson.
HOW CREEPY IS THIS PAINTING???
The style Reminds me of retro YA fiction book covers.
Peter’s Spider Sense isn’t going off because the Green Goblin just wants to make sure they have a good night’s sleep!
Green Goblin’s like SERIOUSLY BUYING YOU A COUCH COVER, THIS PATTERN IS REDONK, I DON’T EVEN
I feel like Princess needs to see this and NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.
