I’m fat positive because I’m a feminist, and I refuse to acknowledge in the magical thinking that if you’re small enough, quiet enough, compliant enough and saccharine enough, you will somehow be enough.

Reasons why this post is stupid:
- You are tokenizing your friends who are gay. You are saying that because one lesbian and one gay man appear to find your joke amusing, that makes any kind of statement about your right to say that word. It doesn’t.
- You are implying that gay people who dislike hearing the word (like me!) , especially when used by straight people, are somehow less worthy of an opinion than gay people who go along with your joke.
- Why would you want to use a word that’s used to oppress people? Why would you want to use a word that people scream as they’re beating people to death?
- Saying “faggot” isn’t even funny. Get a new joke. Be creative. If you’re that bad at being funny, then give up on trying to be humorous because you have an awful sense of humor.
- Really you’re not funny.
- Also you’re an ass.
#also ‘normal person’ being separate from ‘gay guy’ and ‘lesbian’ #fuck you
Faggot is my least favourite word, the sound of it pangs me.

Although most boys figure out how to bring themselves to orgasm by age thirteen, half of girls don’t have their first orgasms until their late teens, twenties, or beyond. Teenage girls widely agree that they get the message loud and clear that masturbation is something boys do, but girls don’t, can’t, or shouldn’t. The cultural focus on intercourse tells young women to expect they’ll begin to experience sexual pleasure once they have sex with a man (whether or not they’re even interested in sex with men). Nearly all teen boys, on the other hand, experience sexual pleasure long before they get their hands—or other body parts—into a partner’s pants. Despite the massive advances in women’s equality, young women’s sexuality is stuck in a surprising paradox. Young women are sold provocative clothes but aren’t taught where to find their own clitoris. Many girls give their boyfriends oral sex, but are too uncomfortable with their own bodies to allow the guys to return the favor. It’s still a radical act to say that women need and deserve access to information about their own sexual pleasure—not just about the risks and negative consequences of sex.

You know one thing about memory? You don’t just keep the stuff in your head. It’s all over your body. One night I woke up with a pain on my shoulder and I realized how much I missed having the weight of his head lying on it. And some days I get these chest pains. That’s memory too. And why does it affect the heart of all organs? Because the heart is a clock. It beats time. And memory wants it to give up the present.
