Among the many aspects of the newDebt Ceiling Deal introduced by Congress on Tuesday, it will scrap subsidized student loans forcing graduate students to pay interest on the principle balance of their loans while enrolled in school.
Personally, I can’t afford it. No matter how I spin it, my financial situation isn’t flexible enough to adhere to Congress’s requirement. Upon the realization that my plight for higher education may be stifled because of irresponsible spending by negligent political leaders I took my grievance to Facebook. The responses surprised me, but they shouldn’t have – the answer is as old as time.
While giving blood in the 1950s may have been lucrative enough to help my Nana pay for school today sex work seems to be a feasible option for some students. Reia Chapman, an MSW student at Savannah State University in Georgia said that she supports student’s decisions to engage in sex work to pay for higher education. I didn’t know this was part of the debt deal and I am infuriated. I am sick and tired of these repeated obstacles being thrown in my (and other lower-income people’s) way because the rich refuses to have their peers pay their fair share when they created this shitty economy in the first place.
If Tufts University wasn’t such a piece of shit I would have graduated law school this year. Except now I am struggling to find ways to go to school for free and it’s literally going to take me at least 10 years to get my bachelor’s…I’ve always wanted to go to grad school and it seems like the loans from the school that refused to help a rape victim and let me finish my degree will make law school impossible for me.
Honestly? This is unacceptable. How does one political party that isn’t even technically “in control” since they don’t have a Congressional majority or the Presidential seat STILL get everything they want? I will have to stop thinking from this before I start really crying from the frustration over continuous barriers being thrown to education.

This is so fucking disgraceful. Shame, shame, shame…
I was watching this and hoping that they would not say anything that upset me, but I ended up being offended anyway. In the video, the person talks about how you should get ‘physical’ with a girl, makes a gesture suggesting you hit her, then plays it off like a joke. Of course, what he really means by physical is that you should walk up to girls while they are intoxicated in clubs and kiss them without their persmission, also touch them, hug them, and make them feel like you are a ‘boss’ by being dominating. He says all of this as a tip to men trying to get out of ‘the friend zone’ with women.
I wasn’t able to watch the whole video because it pissed me off so much, but wanted to share because this is exactly the opposite of what men should be told about how to approach women.
I would love if the lovely women and men of this tumblr could dislike bomb this video and make sure the poster knows that making women know you are ‘the boss’ is not a way to get out of ‘the friend zone.’

WHY? I hate that “dominance” is a trait valued by a lot of men. Not equality. Dominance. Power over womyn. Fuck I hate patriarchy. Simple Pickup - you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Truly.
No.10 Buy her clothes that are too small
“Oh,” you might say, “I thought you were a size 8. Isn’t that what you were last summer?” The onus is now on her to do something about it.
No.9 Sign her up for yoga under the pretence of “stress relief”
Make sure you choose an intense, calorie-burning form (power yoga or ashtanga yoga), otherwise she may end up rolling around on the floor a couple times a week with no real benefits.
No.8 Set out on your own weight loss plan
Here’s an interesting experiment for you using reverse psychology.
No.7 Serve her unsatisfactory portions
Try giving her smaller-than-usual amounts. By making her ask for more food, you might succeed in shaming her into an acknowledgment of her recent weight gain.
No.6 Improve your own diet
It’s very easy for the two of you to fall into the downward spiral in which many couples begin to replace sexual intimacy with ice cream and cake.
No.5 Playfully grab her love handles
When you make contact with any of her unwanted flab: She recoils and feels embarrassment. Use this reaction to your advantage.
No.4 Ask her to wear an old dress
This way she’ll have to admit to you that she’s put on too much weight and can no longer get into many of her old clothes. Follow it up by telling her how good she looked in those days.
No.3 Schedule a formal date
Tell her you’re planning an exotic vacation or a fancy night out at least six weeks in advance of the date.
No.2 Leave “now” and “then” photos lying around
This is a highly effective way to draw attention to the explicit changes to her body as you see them.
No.1 Take her to places where she has to wear a swimsuit
As she awkwardly looks around at all the slender bodies having a great time, she’ll more than likely vow to do something about her recent weight gain, especially if she knows she’ll be back there in the not-so-distant future.

This is so fucked up! How controlling and misogynistic. So much work to be done…
Spears are driven into the muscles in the bulls neck and back so it cannot raise it’s head. How can this be entertainment? Teasing an injured, bleeding bull until it collapses and then stabbing it with a sword and claiming to be the “winner”.
Disgusting.
This enrages me! And we wonder why we, as a society, have issues with violence.

I give you the Brazilian police:
This was horrible, I still can’t believe he survived.
The decision by an Australian advertising watchdog to order the removal of a Calvin Klein campaign because it appears to depict a woman in a cage being raped by three men (below) says a lot about advertising in the fashion world: Rape fantasies — and other themes of non-consensual sex — come up…

I know this is in response to the leaked video, but the end product was still just as misogynist (ESPECIALLY with his fucking bullshit “disclaimer”).
For those who haven’t seen his disclaimer:
The following content is in no way to be interpreted as misogynistic or negative towards any group of people. It is an art piece and it shall be taken as such.
Dude, personally I want to say FUCK YOU for telling me how to interpret something. I will fucking take misogynistic and negative shit even if it’s fucking “art” to someone. A PIECE OF ART IS NOT IMMUNE TO SEXISM/RACISM/ANY -ISMS.
I HATE how unapologetic the disclaimer is. You telling me how to view your fucking video doesn’t make it any less terrible. I thought art was about what others see in it?
