i’ve been inwardly sobbing for about 3 hours now fuck you GoT

Guys, please could you take 2 seconds just to go onto this status and wriote the word HILDAMAY? It’d get me a place on a press team at a festival and it’d be a massive start to my career, thanks.

Just seen this on change.org, that website where anyone can create an online petition and apparently CHANGE THE WORLD;

End Media Sexism Petition

“The negative portrayal and treatment of women in the UK press is not a parental guidance issue - as our Prime Minister David Cameron suggests - it is a sex discrimination issue.

Sign the petition and demand change TODAY.”

and someone else said

“Women are not ‘sex’. Women are people. When they say “sex sells” what they mean is women with little or no clothes on sell stuff to men. That’s not sex - that’s sexual objectification of the female body. To sexually objectify the body of a dead woman in order to sell a “newspaper” (I used that term advisedly) piles increased humiliation on already humiliating objectification.

Women deserve better than for our bodies to be reduced to sexual titillation for men, dead or alive.”

Firstly, you will never, ever be able to completely get rid of sexism in a contemporary media without depicting men and women as literally and biologically identical genders. Say you see a bra for sale, and the model wearing it is female, there’ll always be someone who’s like MEN CAN WEAR BRAS TOO YOU SEXIST PIG

Secondly, The phrase ‘sex sells’ does not refer to scantily clad women thrusting things into men’s faces, what it refers to is a technique to attract a potential customer by appealing to a basic human desire. If the previously mentioned underwear model was chosen to be sexually unnappealing (say, was covered in bark or weighs 800lbs) then it simply wouldn’t sell.

And finally, women aren’t the only gender that are overly sexualised in the media. You may think page 3 may be horrid, or that it is not appropriate in a newspaper, and that might be right, but I challenge you to find a copy of OK! magazine without finding a picture of some shirtless hunk covered in sweat with a caption like PHWOAR or CAN I HAVE YOU FOR BREAKFAST

Ladies and Gentlemen, if we leave the general public to try to change the way the country operates then we are going to drown in an ocean of stupidity.

seriously trying to figure out if university is still actually right for me.

i know that if i drop out i’ll probably regret it at some point, and i won’t be living with all my friends but i know that there are so many other things i could be doing with my life right now.

could take an illustration course at college or something

that’d be cool

watching house of wax because assignments are irritating and nothing pleases me more than watching paris hilton trying to act

reviewing the new stone sour album

it is so fucking good
