Anonymous asked: I do love your blog, but I am a bit confused. correct me if I'm wrong, but you're talking about how white isn't synonymous with Caucasian, right? Because Caucasians include people with a non-white skin-tone, like, say, Arabs, right? Sorry if I sound like an idiot for not fully understanding, but... I want to make sure I get what you mean.
Anonymous asked: Wow, the fact that that person is lumping them all together is somewhat offensive. Puerto Ricans aren't Mexicans, and Mexicans aren't Puerto Ricans. And yes, they can stereotype each other and be racist toward each other.

“Race” “Ethnicity” and “culture” are all different things. Polish isn’t a race. Jamaican isn’t a race. Those are cultures and nationalities. You don’t need to get so defensive and sarcastic.

It’s 8:00 PM. Elaine is signing on to her Tumblr.
She’s bored, and looking for an argument. She therefore decides to browse the ‘misandry’ tag: she knows misandry doesn’t exist, and it’s always fun laughing at the men who are whining about it. Lo and behold, there’s some douchebro in there talking about rape, and moaning about all the ‘women only’ rape support facilities. This is...

Men are not the victims of sexism.
just-smith:
77825225672443:
That is because sexism is aimed at women.
Men are hit with crossfire, i.e. strict gender roles imposed upon women relate back in the ways in which strict gender roles then effect men. But they do not do so as strongly.
To take a telling case, look at the incredibly wealthy men who lead fashion (haute couture). Most of them are pretty effeminate.

Can we stop joking about misandry
allergictocats:
some people are misandrists. and this is okay. When you joke about misandry you’re either
dismissing a person’s feelings by assuming that they stem only from a hatred of men, and hold no further value/importance (which also invalidates the importance of feelings that do stem from a hatred of men).
you’re joking about misandry because you find the concept of “man hating” to be...

Actually, a man can choose whether to be financially responsible for a child in the US as well. All he has to do if he doesn’t want the responsibility is sign away his parental rights. Doing that means the city/state can’t demand child support.
