I found something even more ridiculous

Lena Dunham says the expression 'TMI' is sexist

Harvard stops buying sodastream machines because they're a 'microaggression'

"Toys like army men promote aggression in boys and can lead them to abuse women later in life."

the woman who writes these articles is extraordinary at finding these things

reminds me of the feminist speeches in the youtube comments that want to start a mass male holocaust.

Instead of “gingerbread men,” give “genderless organic vegan gingerbread figures.”

Hey, that's probably racist!

Fuck these people

The new, anatomically average Barbie is also offensive because she’s still too pretty.

Lena Dunham is out for nothing but attention, pay her no mind.
SodaStream is ass. Get an old fashioned carbonator.
As for the rest of the stuff, it's just people looking for reasons to get offended. Trufax, never once met an agender person offended by the notion of other people having genders. And the pink packaging bit is really REALLY searching, lmfao.

I wanna know what these people envision as an ideal utopia.

It's incredible to me how easily offended people get and how vocal they are about the most pointless things...

**Garquillex** · 12-20-2014, 02:00 AM

funny thing about anatomically average barbie: the skeletal proportions are right but they gave her a culturally arbitrary % of body fat

i.e. her body fat levels are far from ideal, but only because the average person has poor dietary habits.

correcting for skeletal proportions makes sense since that's impossible to change, but correcting for body fat doesn't since barring some thyroid disorder that's extremely controllable

Please go visit Twitter. The amount of women I've seen claim that "height and weight are different" as to justify discriminating based upon the former is completely obnoxious.

I only find it annoying because it's perfectly find to say you find a trait unattractive, but to act as if judging an unchangeable trait is better than judging a controllable one is just fucking stupid.

Arch0wl · 12-21-2014, 04:25 PM

I don't need to visit twitter, I was one of the original founders of /r/tumblrinaction so I've seen the deepest ends of how far this rabbit hole goes

actually, I have an alt that's like 2nd or 3rd highest mod on tumblrinaction right now, but I never use it lol

**popsicle_3000** · 12-21-2014, 04:51 PM

In this world, there are men, and there are also women. To try to hide/avoid that fact is utter nonesense

I don't.

Although I think there is a Rick and Morty ep that seems to come close
