~* HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERT! *~

T’is no finer day to, er, dust off this Tumblr* and wish the most Bobberty of Bathursts a splendid day. And what a year it’s been! There’s been Mezzotints and monocles and Hitler and jockeys and Toast and PVC and Larkins and weird snake men just for starters. Here’s to more!

(*I literally couldn’t get into Tumblr all this time. I know. It was an infinite log in loop that Tumblr couldn’t fix, failing to understand the sheer importance in these trying times of….. whatever it is I was offering here. Look, I’ll get my files together and I’ll be back with you this time and the meantime we can all wonder if Robert is relieved or aghast at such a resurrection)

HAPPY LIMINAL SPACEMAS, COUCHES

Red Dwarf Challenge (25)

Day 25 - Your 3 favourite smeg ups.

3? Well…that’s not going to happen. How about one for each series? Sorry, no self-control. :(

Smeg-ups have been on my mind lately, so to update this list…

11. “How dare I jump your line, Bobby!” “Sir, you can jump any line you wish! Stomp on them! Urinate on them, sir, they deserve no respect.”

12.  “Fruit? You’ve got a better chance of getting a vampire to eat…bollocks, bollocks.” “A lot of vampires love those bollocks, sir.”

TPL: TBD

I just remembered I needed to update this.

TPL: “Just fix the distortion, Kryst…Christ?……I’ve always rated you highly.”

I find it funny how Danny said he hopes people see the other side of him who is happy and funny and not crying as people are used to seeing him on tv - and the he cries basically all the time, bless him.

No one can resist those cheeks 🙂

Saving Face (2012), acid attacks on women in Pakistan

Meanwhile, in America, feminists are complaining about how dress codes are oppressive.

You idiots have never experienced oppression, and pray you never do, because this is what it looks like.

As a South Asian American feminist, let me remind everyone that oppression is not a competition.

Just because we fight one type of sexism doesn’t mean we don’t care about other instances of sexism that don’t affect us directly in our day to day lives.

My heart goes out to this woman and the hundreds of other victims like her. I want to educate people about these kinds of incidents. I support organizations that help women like this.

You may think that dress code issues are trivial, but they are related to a larger issue of women’s bodily autonomy, which affects women’s health and safety.

So please, let’s try to bring awareness and bring about change instead of insulting entire groups of people because they are facing issues that are less scary than the one presented.

“oppression is not a competition”

thank you so much for this wording

Every time someone, usually a guy, complains about feminists not experiencing oppression, I can’t help but see what they are really trying to say.

“This is how men could be treating you, be grateful it’s only as bad as it is now.”

And that’s actually an attribute of abusers, I believe I read somewhere. To compare you to someone being treated worse and tell you you should be grateful you have it so good. It convinces the victim they should be silent in the face of their abuse.

It’s literally an abuse tactic. 

Every time someone says something like, “You […] have never experienced oppression, and pray you never do, because this is what it looks like.” What they are saying is, “shut up, we could treat you worse if we wanted to.”

^^^^^^^^^^^

THIS

I think that it’s so common to compare women to lesser privileged women and say atleast you’re not as oppressed as them as a counter argument to any feminist talk.

Like a woman in America complains about dress codes and she’s told to shut up and be happy she doesnt live in an “oppressed third world country”.

When I complain about being forced to dictate my whole schedule around the concept of “what does not make me a rape target” my mother tells me atleast I’m not oppressed like the woman who sometimes cleans for us who got married at 15.

This woman, when complaining to her mother before her marriage, was told atleast he won’t get drunk and beat you up.

It isnt a competition.

Oppression happens and one of the ways the oppressors stop us from achieving our goals is to set us against each other.

^^^^^^^

White women in america are told at least it’s not as bad as women of colour, so shut up

Women of colour in usa are told at least it’s not as bad as India, so be happy

Women in India are told at least it’s not as bad as the women in the village, so be thankful

Women in the villages are told at least your husband didn’t throw acid at you, so keep quiet

Women who’ve had acid thrown on them are told at least you’re alive.

Does a woman have to die for her to be “truly oppressed”? Where does this end?

YES…As a south asian feminist…I couldn’t agree more…
