Quote with 4 notes

First, there’s the assumption that Pryde might not understand what she’s putting out into the universe. And then there’s the unquestioned premise that a girl rapping about teenage life has to be some kind of a joke. Her music is knowingly playful, with lots of funny asides, and she’s self-deprecating to the extent that she might not (publicly) disagree with these judgments, but I don’t see what there is to laugh at about her mere existence.
— Judy wrote a great piece on why even people who like her are condescending to Kitty Pryde.

Photo reblogged from Is This Feminist? with 67 notes

isthisfeminist:

This woman is watching a sporting event of some kind. IS THIS FEMINIST? 

No. The culture of sports is a sort of miniaturized warfare, which incites the individual to lose him- or herself in identification with his or her “team,” in a proto-nationalist fashion, making him or her complicit in an exercise of brutal, organized physical domination of the enemy “team.” Thus, sporting events create and support a patriarchal conception of “power-over” in which victory — and thus worth — is defined by physical domination and conquest of the Other. It’s still feminist to watch “Friday Night Lights,” though. PROBLEMATIC. 

SOMEONE HAD TO DO IT.

Quote reblogged from Judy Berman with 934 notes

How can you be a feminist and like hip-hop?

- literally everyone ever.

“How can you be a feminist and like punk?”

- literally no one ever.

(via rgr-pop)

Lana, 90210, clothes, everything.

(via mikkipedia)

These kind of comments have always driven me insane. Liking — and to an even greater extent, loving — is not an intellectual thing. It’s emotional and involuntary. We obviously have to analyze why we like a piece of art and what is troubling about it, and we have to decide whether to support it (monetarily or otherwise). But you can’t control what appeals to you on a basic level.
