kittyhybrid:
Let me start by saying that as a vegan and a feminist, I do not - nay, can not - in any way support your latest advertising campaign, sweetly entitled “Boyfriend Went Vegan And Knocked The Bottom Out Of Me”. I’m not even going to acknowledge the stupid acronym you ‘invented’ to try to sell it.

Okay this is driving me nuts. Last year I found an amazing meme/macro that was a flattened cane toad (or equivalent) with hilarious “pro-life” captions. It was something like “WHY DID U SQUASHED ME? I WAS GOING TO BE A DOCTOR”

Apparently, a woman being sexually assaulted in her own home “is a timely reminder to ensure all doors are locked and windows are secured before going to bed each night.” Rather than a timely reminder that the majority of all sexual assaults occur in the home, or that 1 in 4 women in this…

PickleMeThis: Undies →
picklemethis:
I had one of those Click moments last night. It’s like that moment you realize women’s clothes don’t have pockets, but UNDIES.
