This is my Aladdin inspired tattoo.  It has the text “Do you trust me?” across my forearm so as to be easily seen when reaching out a helping hand as in the film.  

The main reason I got it is simply that Disney has meant a great deal to me and defines part of who I am.  Aladdin was my favorite movie growing up and I identify with the moral.  Be yourself, you don’t have to be a “prince” or fill society’s typical or “ideal” male role.  Someone out there will always see a diamond in the rough.

YESSSSSS. My boyfriend has finally posted a picture of his Disney tattoo. I personally love his tattoo so much. The hidden Mickey, the colors, the font,  the way the lamp glows, everything. Very well done tattoo and I personally love the meaning behind it more than anything.

This is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks #XboxOne #E3 press conference for revealing to us exactly zero games featuring a female protagonist for the next generation.

Above is a tweet I made this afternoon in reaction to the fact that none of the games…

Oh…wow…

“On all operations, female soldiers and officers have proven themselves worthy of the best traditions of the Australian army. They are vital to us maintaining our capability now and into the future. If that does not suit you, then get out.”

Australia’s Chief of Army Lieutenant-General David Morrison gives what’s been described as a smack-down to men in the Army who would demean women. The address to all army personnel was posted on the Department of Defence website following the latest sex and sexism scandal to hit our defence forces (the details are currently unclear because it’s part of a police investigation).

Australia’s defence forces probably aren’t much different to any other as far as endemic misogyny goes but, in the face of previous cases of discrimination, harassment and assault, there was a lot of equivocation and an absence of strong leadership. Here there is no side-stepping or vacillating or careful language. Political commentator George Megalogenis tweeted “I’d almost forgotten what a true leader sounds like”. Now we wait and hope for the follow through. You can read more about it here.

I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS DOES NOT HAVE A MILLION NOTES

It’s not about sex - they have porn, they have as much fucking porn as they could possibly ask for

they have billboards and ads and primetime tv shows and hollywood movies and websites free videos magazines they have porn channels porn movies with sexy images of women

they have girls on websites who are paid to webcam with them

there are girls who post sexy pics of themselves online for them

none of this is enough, none of this is, at the bottom of it all, what they want

creepshots specifically says this isn’t enough - they don’t want pics of girls knowingly posing (i.e. giving consent)

they want to violate, they want to rape, they want to own every woman walking down the fucking street

they want your teenager daughter, they want your mom, they want you

when you don’t know it, when you can’t say no, when you’re on the bus, when you’re walking down the street, when you’re at the beach

they get off on your violation, they want more proof that women exist for them and them alone

it’s sexy because it’s embarrassing, humiliating; they say it themselves

this is rape culture in its purest form

because women saying yes on screen, women saying yes to their faces, saying yes on their computers, on their phones is not what they want

that’s not “hot” enough

what’s hot is violating your consent, what’s hot is demeaning you, what’s hot is owning a piece of you against your will

and they won’t stop until we are all pornography

I firmly believe that anybody who uses or accesses Creepshots is a rape apologist and probably a rapist.

That anybody who takes photographs on the street of unwilling perceived women (to submit to Creepshots or not) is a rape apologist and probably a rapist.

Anybody who tries to defend Creepshots for whatever reason is a rape apologist and probably a rapist.

Anybody who sees Creepshots as anything other than an invasive, predatory, disgusting violation of our right to exist in public is a rape apologist and probably a rapist.

These people have given me zero indication that they could possibly be any other way and I have no obligation or duty to not see them as a threat to my safety and the safety of others around them.

From their About Us:

Picture Removal:  If you happen to stumble across your picture on this site, you can two things. (1) You can admire the fact that there is something about you sexy enough that somebody wanted to creep you and send it in.  If you fall under this category, then maybe leave a comment under the pic and be proud you made it!  (2) If however, you wore something sexy, tight or revealing and are shocked, ashamed, belittled and embarrassed that you were creeped and posted on here, then contact us at the email above and include the link and description of the picture.  Your request will be reviewed and if found legitimate, the picture will be removed.

BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY TWO REACTIONS: 1) Flattered for being violated or 2) Ashamed for leaving your house at all. And wow, if they “review” your complaint maybe they’ll take it down! I hope these fuckers die in a fire. I could fucking vomit right now.
