I feel this in the pit of my soul

tiny brain: kanye west is satan incarnate and we must stop him before he murders taylor swift with his bare hands and dines on her flesh, signed, me, tumblr user speaknowandbefearlessin1989

equally tiny brain: taylor swift is an ugly bitch with a bad boob job and a victim complex and it’s okay for me to say that because she’s uhhhhh a bad feminist

regular-sized brain: by virtue of her whiteness, taylor swift holds a great deal of structural power over kanye, and she appears to be deploying this power to play into a longstanding cultural narrative of white female vulnerability that actively endangers black men by painting them as predatory. simultaneously, kanye west has a long history of inexcusably misogynistic behaviour by which black women have been hit first and hardest. we must ask ourselves why his sexist treatment of taylor swift has elicited a widespread defensive response that his attacks on, say, amber rose did not. it is possible and necessary to have this conversation without directing misogynistic vitriol at taylor swift and racist vitriol at kanye west. 

enormous brain transcending the known universe:

not to harp on this point but the care with which a girl you’ve known for maybe three weeks will ask you “what’s wrong?” if you look even mildly distressed is more emotional labor than you’d receive from any man over the course of six lunar cycles

if my dad sees me crying, he pretends he’s getting a call so that we don’t have to have an awkward conversation, but a drunk girl who stumbled across me in a public bathroom would literally become my emotional triage nurse
