Oh screw it

scatteredintellect:

okay but bill wurtz presumably spent a whole year studying world history in depth and presented it in just 20 minutes, in a way that not only taught me more than i ever learned in school but presented it all in a blunt and realistic manner that exposed the general terror and manipulation that went into making the world what it is while keeping a lighthearted and entertaining tone. this shit is fucking genius

we could make a religion out of that

achilles is so often called gay by the community and straight by society even though he fell in love with men and women. freddie mercury is known as the most famous gay man even though he self identified as bisexual. channing tatum is constantly called straight even though he’s dated men and women. evan rachel wood and angelina jolie and drew barrymore–all self identified bi women constantly called straight.

sappho wrote love poems for both men and women and yalls response to the idea that she might have been bi is “there was no concept of bi/gay back then!! let’s focus on the fact that she was sapphic!!” to the point where her name has become synonymous with gay and she’s called a lesbian icon and y'all only seem to have issues with “concepts” and labels when the concept/label is BI. why am i not surprised?

bisexuality is valid pass it on

A reported 56% of men believe sexism is over. “Over,” you say? Really?

In 2015, Cosmopolitan surveyed 2,235 women between the ages of 18 and 34 and found one in three had suffered sexual harassment on the job. 

That same year, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission dismissed 52% of sexual harassment claims. 

That might help explain why, in a 2013 YouGov/Huffington Post poll, 70% of participants who said they had been sexually harassed at work also said they never reported the behavior.  

It’s not just the U.S. that has the problem.

A study from August found that 52% of U.K. women had been sexually harassed at work. 

The European Union estimates that between 40% and 50% of women “experience unwanted sexual advancements, physical contact or other forms of sexual harassment at their workplace.”

A 2014 Pew Research study on online harassment indicated that women were more likely to be sexually harassed and stalked online.

Twenty-five percent of women between the ages of 18 and 24 reported having been sexually harassed, against 13% of men in the same age bracket; 26% reported having been stalked, to just 7% of men.

In Australia, the digital security firm Norton surveyed 1,000 people in March. 

Almost half the female participants reported having been harassed online — which is to say, they’d received unwanted contact, rape and/or death threats or had simply been trolled.

Women under the age of 30 seemed to shoulder more abuse, with 76% of participants in that age bracket reportedly having been the victims of cyber harassment.

An October 2016 report by the National Partnership for Women and Families showed that, on average, women nationwide make 80 cents to men’s dollar.

Adding another layer of badness to the equation, that higher education women are more likely to have doesn’t seem to be getting them anywhere.

In 2015, there were more CEOs named John than there were female CEOs of all names, according to Payscale. 

That makes sense given that, according to Forbes, just 4% of Fortune 500 companies have women at the helm.

A recent study found men are granted promotions to first-tier managerial positions 30% more often than women.

That confirms the results of a separate study that found women do actually ask for raises as often as men do — it’s just that they’re more likely to be told “no.”

In 2013, the World Health Organization declared violence against women “a global health problem of epidemic proportions.”

 The report that spurred the statement found that 35% of the world’s women were victims of “physical or sexual violence.“ 

Additionally, 38% of women who were murdered worldwide were murdered by their intimate partners, while 42% of women who’d been physically or sexually abused by their partners sustained injuries.

A study by New York City Department of Consumer Affairs found that products "for women” cost an average 7% more than their male counterparts,

concept: woman makes deal with demon to have it’s child in exchange for eternal life or some shit

woman then makes deal with witch and offers her first born for like, riches or something

woman dumps demon baby on witch, absconds with her winnings and leaves witch and demon fighting for custody

half demon baby grows up learning magic and visiting hell on weekends and every second christmas

does the woman act as a sort of vodka aunt who shows up sometimes to teach the child how to work the system?

“here you go timmy, have a new xbox. this year I’m going to teach you the ins and outs of magical tax evasion”
