People really like to excuse their actions on the internet with “it’s just the internet” but quite frankly I think that the way that you act when you genuinely believe your actions are of no consequence says much, much more about you than you might be willing to reveal to others

I need feminism
whoneedsfeminism:
Because my husband is allowed to be behind a cannon in the U.S. military and I am not.
Right, because generation after generation of men suffering from the haunting guilt of having murdered for profit just is not enough. We want a society born from the wombs of murderers! That will be AWESOME!!!! Maybe we can eradicate compassion and love altogether!!! YAY!!!!!
