as you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.
I always see posts about people talking about how tampon and pads ads have girls on beaches and things like that.
And yet in Australia we have really ridiculous advertisements for sanitary products that have girls running around doing shit and this guy
The really sad thing is, guys at school started copying him, and it got the point where if you needed a pad or tampon, you’re guy friends were as likely to help you out as your girlfriends…
Not that sad if u think about it. What you just described sounds pretty great and nearly compassionate honestly
Espessually considering if an american boy so much as sees a clean unopened tampon he freaks the fuck out like its a diseased yucksponge and will actively avoid you for the rest of his life
So I work in a pub and during tonight’s quiz, one of the questions was “What does LGBTQ stand for?”
Now the teams were mostly made up of older straight couples so not many people got it right. I did however find this gem when collecting up the answer sheets:
support aromantic allosexuals who are part of a marginalized group that’s hypersexualized by others.
being aroallo doesn’t mean that the hypersexualization you face is your fault or that you deserve it, it doesn’t mean you deserve to be abused or fetishized, it doesn’t mean that you’re “setting a bad example” for that group, and it doesn’t mean you deserve to be treated as anything less than human. being aroallo does not mean you’re not deserving of respect, kindness, and basic human decency or that you’re not allowed to have boundaries and have them respected.
