These ideas seem prudish today, but Tropes v. Women wouldn't be a thing if we respected everyone that way. Anyway.

thus endeth the sermon


Just to freak a few people out: the Bible understood the Male Gaze. Check out Job 31:1 and Matt 5:28. She's not resp. for what your eyes do.


RT @Spacekatgal: Gamergate may have been weakened - but make no mistake. The machine that harasses and destroys prominent women in tech is …


@ftrain a meritocracy only works if all other factors are equally weighted - they’re not.
