Feminist Frequency - Tropes vs. Women: #1 The Manic Pixie Dream Girl
Apparently many of my favourite movies include this trope.
Sigh. At least I’m now aware
and can probably never enjoy them again

[F]or the first several years the SAT was offered, males scored higher than females on the Math section but females achieved higher scores on the Verbal section. ETS policy-makers determined that the Verbal test needed to be “balanced” more in favor of males, and added questions pertaining to politics, business and sports to the Verbal portion. Since that time, males have outscored females on both the Math and Verbal sections. Dwyer notes that no similar effort has been made to “balance” the Math section, and concludes that, “It could be done, but it has not been, and I believe that probably an unconscious form of sexism underlies this pattern. When females show the superior performance, ‘balancing’ is required; when males show the superior performance, no adjustments are necessary.”

We were told our English Lang GCSEs were often about sport or politics because boys often underperformed in that exam. I can’t even fathom the number of things wrong with this kind of thinking.

i don’t understand how this is “unconscious” they saw numbers of both males and females and only made adjustments for the males. that is pretty damn blatant and conscious to me.

Sorry not sorry.
True statement is true
So because I’m a man I have no opinion into so-called ‘womens rights’? That has the same logic as me being white refusing to be interested in ‘black rights’
It depends on how exactly that opinion is expressed. And you should really read up WoC and womens rights before trying to draw parallels
i’m five foot eight
i can’t remember the last time i was that weight lol
In what universe?
So am I supposed to sunstain myself on a diet of sunshine and rainbows? Because that’s the only way I would ever reach that weight of 128lbs.
What in the name of fuck is this? Who pulled these numbers out of their ass? I’m pretty sure that at 6 feet tall, my bones and organs weigh more than 118 pounds.
I’m 5’5” and weigh around 195ish. I think that’s perfect enough, thanks.
I can’t imagine weighing less than half my weight, what the fuck. like… 60 pounds less, sure. But closing in on 100 pounds? no thanks.
Is this chart for fucking real? I would look like a walking skeleton, and just no.
I would have to lose 100 pounds. At 5’4” 210 I would be a skeleton. And very unhealthy. There is no way I could get the nutrients I need and weigh that much.

Look, guys. No matter what a girl does, no matter how she’s dressed, no matter how much she’s had to drink, it’s never, never, never, never, never okay to touch her without her consent. That doesn’t make you a man, it makes you a coward.

One of my very best friends smokes. I want her to quit so badly. I have not said anything but I can’t be around her when she smokes. I do not want to be that person that shames someone for “their health”. What should I do?

About me
This is my personal blog. I have not connected it to my Facebook for a reason. I am a black atheist prochoice feminist. I try my hardest to be as truthful as possible. Some of my views are not the popular ones. I consider myself a skeptic and I am in love with science.
Did I mention that in addition to all this awesomeness I am childfree? Yeah there is that.
