Tumblr (3.0; @alienveins)http://alienveins.tumblr.com/“<p>I don’t want to be a feminist anymore. Like a five-year-old, I want to close my eyes, stick my fingers in my ears, stomp my feet on the floor and scream “No! No, you cannot make me, I won’t, leave me alone!” I am, simply put, too tired. So very, very tired.</p> <p>I am tired of fighting with my friends. I am tired of arguing that someone groping and slapping my butt isn’t “what I have to expect”, just because I’m at a bar, and the one attacking my butt has a drink in the other hand. I am tired of hearing “boys will be boys” and “when you’re dressed like that …” and “that’s just what guys do”. I am tired of trying to drown those sentiments in loud, repetitive no’s, screamed over and over again, till my throat is sore and my voice weak – just to hear them repeated, as soon as exhaustion threatens to silence me.</p> <p>I am tired of being afraid. I am tired of seeing someone writing something offensive, sexist, racist, ageist, ableist, somewhere online. I am tired of seeing those writings getting likes and lol’s, and SO TRUE’s. I am tired of being consumed by confusion and anger, typing, typing, typing and typing a seemingly endless response, including research, links and statistics, and then hesitate clicking “submit”. I am tired of knowing that I hesitate because I am afraid of the flood of responses that will come. I am tired of knowing that I will be bombarded with lighten up’s, stop whining’s and get a sense of humor’s for so long, that I will start to wonder if I am indeed wound up too tight, a nagger and humorless. I am tired of the fact that I’m afraid of being called a cunt, even though I don’t find genitalia insulting or demeaning.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><p><a href="http://community.feministing.com/2012/02/15/i-dont-want-to-be-a-feminist-anymore/" title="I don't want to be a feminist anymore.">I don’t want to be a feminist anymore.</a> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://gingerrqueer.tumblr.com/">gingerrqueer</a>)</p> <p>Read the rest of this article - it’s perfect.</p> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://provoice.tumblr.com/">provoice</a>)</p> <p>I doubt myself and my beliefs so much it’s comforting to know i’m not the only one who struggles in the face of patriarchy.</p> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://espill.tumblr.com/">espill</a>)</p></em>http://alienveins.tumblr.com/post/50722475619http://alienveins.tumblr.com/post/50722475619Sat, 18 May 2013 14:00:37 +0200<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5a3815fbd5e3ca8eab2caca60dec1dfd/tumblr_mjvegrtRMV1qaxnilo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alienveins.tumblr.com/post/50721194699http://alienveins.tumblr.com/post/50721194699Sat, 18 May 2013 13:24:52 +0200<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzawrxn7oD1qcnupho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alienveins.tumblr.com/post/50721099293http://alienveins.tumblr.com/post/50721099293Sat, 18 May 2013 13:22:02 +0200“Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.”<br/><br/> - <em>Finn Butler (via <a class="tumblr_blog"
