    This seems relevant to the recent “skinny girls are a recent depiction of sexy” conversation

    Yup, the idea that our current western standard of beauty has been this innate thing isn’t even true going back a few decades, much less all of human history AND all of the different cultures throughout history (and now.)

I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH I NEED TO CHECK MY PREDATOR PRIVILEGE.

    tagging your hate and getting mad at the backlash is like going to a star wars convention in a shirt that says “han solo sucks” and being surprised when someone punches you in the face like what the fuck were you expecting

  9. "‎This year we saw many hilarious performances by women, and many idiotic articles from men about how women suddenly became funny. Yes, imagine how great ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ would have been had Mary, Betty White, Cloris Leachman, and Valerie Harper actually been funny. If only Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Gilda Radner, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus had been able to get a laugh. I guess what I’m saying is, this isn’t the year that women finally became funny. This is the year that men finally pulled their heads out of their asses."

About me

Hi, I'm Tessa.

I go to Indiana University.

I'm studying Arts Management. I'm minoring in English. And Theatre. Also I am taking some music classes.

I used to go to Brigham Young University. That was also cool.

According to my Anthropology professor, my brain is still developing so I don't actually know what's best for myself and I won't until I'm done with college. I'm so glad I'm making so many important decisions about my life right now.
