what i never
learned
from my mother
was that
just because someone desires you
does
not mean they value you.
desire is the kind of thing that
eats you
and
leaves you starving.

….i read one too many of those ‘sansa should be grateful to marry Tyrion!’ posts and i was feeling a little sarcastic.

I see it has already begun

I kinda already posted about this yesterday

I don’t think there’s really any good way for any of this storyline to go…

I mean, you also have to consider in the books, Tyrion was already hideous *and* lost his nose in the Blackwater, and Sansa is ELEVEN years old…AND she willingly participated in humiliating him at their wedding (she refuses to kneel and be “cloaked”)…so yeah, show STILL less misogynist than books.

Honestly… in that world, she probably SHOULD be a little grateful that Tyrion is slightly less horrible than everyone around her, and she did not have to marry that little shit Joffrey. Seriously. Yes, he’s meeting the bare minimum of human decency, he is living in a world where many men do not, and do not see a damned thing wrong with it. Keep in mind, in the previous episode, Daeny basically gets told by a dude that if she wants his military help, she’s going to have to screw him. It’s a hideous world. And it’s a world where men treat women like things. But it’s not a world where the women are complicit, entirely. They take what power they can, and do what they can to survive. Which is sort of the story of human history. Women have always had this “other world.” Men used to call it the domain of women, and did not pay attention to their “prattle.” One of the things I love about Austen is that she looks at that world. Where even privileged women are backstabbing and doing their best to marry well, and get their children married well because that was SURVIVAL back then. Even for women in pretty dresses. Do I hate that women are treated the way they are in GoT? YES. However, I think it is a reflection on the history of women and HOW they took what power they could.

Yes, I know there’re other seriously problematic elements, such as the representation (or lack there of in some cases) of people of color, and how they’re largely represented as savages, etc. But I think this is one thing that GoT has painfully, terribly and sadly right.

1. Nope.

2. Sorry, nope.

3. “The story of human history”? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

4. The words you’re looking for is “white European women”

5. Coercive rape is STILL RAPE.

6. ^^^^^^^^

7. The idea that a (in show) 14 year old (in book 11 year old) girl should be grateful to be raped without accompanied by public nude beatings is basically the definition of misogyny.

Ok. I agree with 3-5. However, as someone who has been abused, and I think she is being abused, You start to become grateful for the times when it’s JUST one thing, and not something worse.

Which is totally valid when you’re speaking for yourself and your own experiences.

BUUUUUT:

Honestly… in that world, she probably SHOULD be a little grateful that Tyrion is slightly less horrible than everyone around her

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

First of all anyone who says anything remotely like “this is how X person should feel about being abused” is fucked up enough on its own.

Secondly, “You SHOULD be grateful the abuse isn’t worse”

is the scariest, most abusive sentiment I can think of.

That’s what abusers say. That’s gaslighting.

No.

NOPE.

NO.

thecapn:

did you know that teachers are instructed to get in between two boys in an altercation and break their eye contact because boys will disengage once the immediate situation is interrupted but they’re instructed to like never ever get in between two girls in a fight because girls wont stop after they lose sight and will actively try to go through whatever’s in between them and teachers are supposed to wait for security to break the shit apart

teenage girls will fuck your shit up

Because this isn’t a gross generalization.

Isotope Titanium Lume Ring

The Isotope is all about contrast. The brilliant glow of the lume, and the sharp lines of the titanium create a visual moment that refuses to be ignored.

The special lume material in the Isotope ring soaks up both natural and artificial light and will glow bright green as soon as it is in a low-light environment. Wear it to bed and it will still be glowing when you get up for that 3am visit to the bathroom!

Moonglow Material:

Moonglow is a ultra-high output photoluminesent polycarbonate. It soaks up both natural and artificial light and will glow bright green for hours once it is in a low-light environment. It also a passive-lume material, meaning it absorbs light. It does not generate its own light as radioactive materials such as tritium do.

I want one for me and my boyfriend.

tw: domestic violence

oh, and about those stats MRAs like to dish out saying that women are “responsible for 50% of domestic violence” or whatthefuckever:

once when i was little, my mom and i were at her friend debbie’s. and debbie’s boyfriend dropped by, right? and my bio-dad, who had apparently been circling the block like a fucking stalker, saw the guy come in and became convinced that the guy was my mother’s dudeman instead. he freaked out, like he does, despite the fact that he and my mother were already divorced and it was even less of his fucking business than it would have been if they were married.

so he stormed into the house, found my mother and started screaming at her. debbie had picked me up and was standing off to the side, holding me. after a few minutes of screaming, she got pissed off and yelled back at him. he started shoving her, until she dropped me, and i smacked my head on the stove. instead of showing any concern, he kept screaming and shoving, so my mother slapped him. debbie called the police, and when the officer showed up…

they threatened to charge my mother with assault and gave me to my bio-dad for the weekend.

some women do abuse their husbands. it happens. it’s unacceptable and needs to be prosecuted. but those stats include retaliatory violence, and that’s fucking disingenuous and disgusting.

so fuck you, MRAs.

1 Example =/= 100%

So what about the little boys who suffer abuse from their mothers? What makes YOUR case so credible but theirs not. What happened to you is a terrible thing and LEGITIMATELY find me ONE MRA who would deny that. But to put down people who are advocating the ending of abuse for guys, just like you advocate for ending women’s abuse is hypocritical.

i’m not advocating for the abuse of guys, you stupid piece of shit. i’m saying that people should be fucking honest when they’re spreading these stats around, and then provided a personal experience as an example. you shouldn’t have to misrepresent statistics to make your point. jesus fucking christ, what the everloving FUCK is wrong with you?

this is why no one trusts MRAs.

“So what about the little boys who suffer abuse from their mothers?”

I’ve noticed that so many Men’s Rights Activists act like male privilege doesn’t exist just because other privileges exist and it’s possible for a woman to have a privilege (in a dimension besides gender) over a man.

Parents who abuse their kids have Adult Privilege. They have the privilege to have the law treat their kids as their property. They have the privilege to teach their kids that living in fear of your parents is normal. They have the privilege to teach their kids that the worst thing they can do is question their parents. They have the privilege to have abuse treated by society as good parenting (until it crosses some arbitrary line).

The fact that a woman can be classist, racist, ableist, ageist, heterosexist, cissexist, etc against a man is evidence that other privileges exist, not evidence that women are privileged over men.
