I love this new trend of actresses calling reporters out on their bullshit.

Can I just, Renner’s face is the second and third frames. He’s so disappointe in the male race at that moment. And so proud of Scarlett.

Scarlett Johansen, you are badass.

Bless her.

Four for you, Scarlett! You go, Scarlett!

Doobie Doobie Doo-Wop: "Why am I so much more creative when I'm tired?"

Doobie Doobie Doo-Wop: "Why am I so much more creative when I'm tired?":

martwhim:

This also translates into:

“Why am I so motivated when it’s really late?”

“The best time to make ideas is through sleep deprivation!”

“I want to do so much more right before bed and I don’t understand why!”

etc.

So basically when you stay up way too late it effects your problem solving ability and your ability to make decisions.

Do you want to know a possible reason as to why that “I stayed up really late and now I feel so creative and willing to draw!” feeling happens? Because your self-critique center is shutting down because you’ve been awake for too long.

You are always as creative and able to do things as you were when you were awake. That potential doesn’t just disappear.

Difference is— when you’re wide awake you have a stronger problem-solving and decision-making center, which is obviously related to self-critique. Being tired doesn’t necessarily make you more creative and motivated, being tired forces you to quiet that part of yourself that holds you back.

Something to think about.

lauren zuniga: Comments on Girlwriteswhat and Patriarchy

lauren zuniga: Comments on Girlwriteswhat and Patriarchy :

laurenzuni:

Girl: Exploded is one of my favourite poems. I have a question: do you believe in patriarchy? Recently I saw a video from girlwriteswhat and I must admit that I’m really confused. That is rare because I have never doubted that feminism was about anything other than equality. I’ll like to hear you thought on that matter.

I had not heard of girlwriteswhat so thanks for cluing me in. I only watched two of her videos and read some blog posts and I started to feel some feelings. My guess is that’s what she is after. Here are the only thoughts I can articulate at this point.

I totally get identifying as a gender egalitarian more than a feminist and I get that some women have some pretty intense man-hatred that can be destructive. I mean, hatred and aggression can be destructive, period. I don’t think that is what feminism is about.

I dig that she makes videos and gets to speak her mind about things. I dig that she can sport a short hair cut, a tank top and be divorced with three kids supporting herself from blogging. That’s rad. Mad props. To me, it seems funny to be against feminism when you are directly benefitting from feminism.

She referred to feminism as “socialism in panties” and “the red-headed stepdaughter of communism” I like poetry. I like good imagery. I’m not into using belittling images of femininity to describe social movements.

Here’s some more shit I don’t like: (from her address to the NY State Libertarian Party)

“According to radical feminists, your grandfathers and great grandfathers were rapists and slave-masters who exploited, subjugated and violated the women who were nearest and dearest to them—their own mothers, sisters, wives and daughters. According to radical feminists, every atrocity ever committed throughout all of history can be laid at the door of normative masculinity, but every male-generated advance—calculus, alternating current, the telegraph, the transistor, radio, penicillin, the number system, hydro-electricity, microwaves, fiberglass, the theory of relativity, the periodic table, trigonometry, insulin, canned foods, vaccines, fire retardant, teflon, wireless communications, the microchip, the birth control pill and even tampons—is a result of men intentionally holding women back, keeping women down, refusing to allow women to achieve, and hogging all the power and glory.”

I don’t personally know any feminists who believe that all grandfathers and great grandfathers were rapists. I also think it is bizarre to site inventions of men that we should be grateful for when we don’t even know the quantity of things women invented because WOMEN WERE NOT ALLOWED TO HOLD PATENTS. It’s also bizarre that she talks about women feeling so “entitled to rights but not wanting to work for them.” Oh, the audacity of women to think they should just have the same rights as men for no reason other than we are both human.

To answer your question, yes, I believe patriarchy exists. Patriarchy is not the boogie man. It’s not the entirety of men in the world. It’s just a set of ideas and practices that inform how we live our lives. Those ideas feed things like female circumcision, human trafficking, inequality in compensation, property ownership, and multitudes of other arenas. It’s not something to “believe in.” It exists. It’s like Vitamin C. You might not be able to see it but it’s there.

Do I blame all of my problems on men? Nope. Do I think that marriage is an institution of slavery? Nope. Do I think that I can’t do what I want in life because I am so horribly oppressed? Nope.

Does my brother have to vote on what he is allowed to do with his sperm? No. Did my rapist cry himself to sleep at night when he decided not to keep the baby? Not a drop. Do men have a lot of tough shit to deal with too? Absolutely. A lot of what is hard about being a man right now has a lot to do with patriarchy. A lot of men fuck patriarchy all up in the face every day of their lives. I’m grateful for them.

That’s all I can say about girlwriteswhat right now. I am always in support of women speaking their truth. I feel grateful that we live in a country where she and I can both do that. Thanks for the message. Stay tuned for my new poem: Feminism is Not a Brand of Combat Boot.

OH, GOD. SHE ANSWERED ME AND IT WAS BRILLIANT.

It’s 1 AM and the realization that I’ve been wasting my life for eighteen fucking years hit me full force.

Eighteen years.

This is not some kind of rehearsal, this is real life. What am I supposed to do?
