“Women are more likely to be attracted to personality and men are more likely to be attracted to physical appearance.”
Woah maybe that’s because we teach women to see men as people and we teach men to see women as objects.
Ding ding ding ding ding.

What a world where calling out sexism gets you accused of “playing the gender card” or “igniting a gender war”, but rampant sexism from males in politics is allowed to run wild, unscrutinised.
Just last night, a menu from a Liberal Party fundraising event came into the spotlight:
Yet this example of vile, horrendous sexism about our female Prime Minister, endorsed by the Liberal Party, gets not even a shred of the outrage that Julia Gillard’s comments did.
What hope do we have in achieving equality when such appalling double standards exist and are promoted by two of the most powerful forces in society: the media, and political figures.
These repulsive examples just prove why sexism needs to be called out.
And until we can do that without being accused of using it in some selfish way and “playing the gender card”, something is desperately fucking wrong.

Not the normal submission I know but I felt the need to share. All I can say is that I feel bad for the robin that had to make that drink.
“I can’t believe it….I’m on a box of cookies!”
oh my god that sticker and caption is too perfect.

How to break out of a zip-tie- potentially life-saving information
You guys, please share it. You never know when someone is going to need this information.
PLEASE reblog this— zipties are one of the most common ways of binding a person upon kidnapping because they are cheap and hard to break.
Knowing things like this puts you one step closer to freedom if, heaven forbid, you fall into a situation where you need to use this information.
