Everybody needs to value eachother!!! Yes!!!! I love this!!!!
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been coerced into sex because some girl decided that she wanted it, and when I say no she turns it into some kind of criticism of her. Or I’m cheating. Or I’m actually gay. Or she starts groping me and playing with me trying to “get me in the mood”. Or she just won’t take no for an answer. After many years of this you know what I’m left with? Low self esteem, constant bad sex, depression, having all sex now feel like a chore, being terrified that if I have sex with someone I actually *like* then it won’t work out, and the feeling like I CAN’T say NO.
Ladies, “No means No” isn’t just for guys. Some of us have grasped the concept. Time for you to do so as well.
I support this movement 100%
I’m here for this I’m tired of these double standards
I’ve had this shit, whenever you turn them down it’s some big issue
another weird thing about beer is that it has weird masculinity connections to it. “ya i’ll get a beer, i don’t want none of them girly drinks” Jimothy, you’re drinking wheat juice with a 5% alcohol content and my mixed, fruity, “girly” drink is 40% alcohol and tastes great
O.KAY *CRACKS KNUCKLES* I AM ABOUT TO GIVE YOU AN EDUCATION
BEER IS TRADITIONALLY A WOMAN’S DRINK, IT IS THE MOST FEMALE OF ALL OF THE DRINKS. FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS, BEER WAS MADE AT HOME BY WOMEN, TO BE CONSUMED BY WOMEN AND CHILDREN–IT WAS ACTUALLY A SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS FOR MANY HOUSEHOLDS. WOMEN CREATED THE CRAFT OF BEER, AND FOR MOST OF HUMAN HISTORY THAT IS WHO YOU’D BUY IT FROM: MANY WOMEN MADE ADDITIONAL INCOME BY BREWING AND SELLING BEER FROM HOME. IT WASN’T UNTIL THE ERA OF INDUSTRIALIZATION THAT BEER BEGAN TO BE BREWED IN FACTORIES. AND ONCE BEER WAS BEING BREWED ON A LARGE SCALE, IT MADE TO START MARKETING IT TO ALL THE MALE FACTORY WORKERS WHO SUDDENLY HAD EXTRA INCOME. HENCE AN AGGRESSIVE MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO RE-BRAND BEER, A DRINK INTRINSICALLY TIED WITH WOMEN’S HISTORY, AS A ‘MASCULINE’ BEVERAGE.
EVEN BETTER, FEMALE BREWSTERS WERE THE ORIGINAL WICKED OLD WITCH. THE TROPES WE COMMONLY ASSOCIATE WITH STEREOTYPICAL WITCHES ARE ACTUALLY BASED ON THE TRADITIONAL BREWSTER. CAULDRONS & HOT STEAMING POTIONS = BEER BREWING. THE WITCH’S HAT: BELIEVE IT OR NOT POINTY HATS WERE ACTUALLY WORN BY BREWSTERS WHEN SELLING THEIR PRODUCT AT MARKETS: THE ENORMOUS HEADGEAR HELPED THEM STAND OUT, AND CLEARLY TOLD EVERYONE ‘YO MOTHERFUCKA GET YOUR BEER HERE’.
CATS AS FAMILIARS: CATS WERE COMMONLY USED TO PREVENT RODENTS FROM GETTING INTO THE WHEAT. EVEN THE BROOMSTICK IS RELATED TO BEER: A BUNDLE OF TWIGS RESEMBLING A BROOM WAS USED AS AD FOR ALEHOUSES
so basically, beer is the ultimate woman’s and witch’s drink
REBLOG ME
fuck u guys, i didn’t spend 20 min fact checking for 3 notes
I am impressed at this much knowledge
Beer is gross imo, but the knowledge is greatly appreciated.
It’s just another example of “Men like this thing, so they shove all the women out and claim women were never there in the first place”, right up there with computer work and doctors.
my post has strayed deeply from its 3am complaints about beer Mood but i’m into this insight on the history of women & beer
This is true, but I would add…since I do know something about this…
Beer was for everyone to drink. It was the easiest way to consume water that was perceived safe, it contained nutrients that were considered safe to eat, and it also had a considerable number of uses besides just drinking. Beer flowed like water in those days. It was the chosen beverage of travelers. It was for the sick and the nursing. It was used as a tonic. And it was considered a sacred art. It was done by older women mostly because they had the time on hand that it took to do it. They were often responsible for kitchens or grain mills.
An addition to the bit about witches: Modern scholars like to carry on about things like ergot poisoning as if we had no idea they existed. We did. But because the symptoms were hallucinogenic in nature, it was believed it was caused by evil spirits. This in no way inhibited humans from figuring out the proper practices necessary for keeping the grain safe. It simply added a few more fun ones. Like protecting the grain with carved ghouls and statuary.
So here you are, an elder woman with no husband and no place in society. You have enough access to grain and the cast off beer of a brewer to propagate yeast in a cauldron. You stir with the bundle of twigs. You keep a cat to keep out the rodents. You sell your product while wearing a pointy hat that doubles as a grain measure. You sell beer related products laced with herbs as medicines, yeast heavy brew to expectant and nursing mothers, weak beer to the sick…
And you do it all from your shack surrounded by goblin and gargoyle sculptures.
Ok so this is the story of how my bisexuality literally punched me in the face
I was in seventh grade at my locker and for as long as we had had lockers mine had been one over from Christina and next to me was Justin, now I had always been oddly resentful of Christina for being super pretty and nice and all around amazing and I didn’t exactly know why cause I got all happy when she talked to me and stuff.
So one morning I’m doing my usual thing getting my books out of my locker when next to me Justin suddenly ducks and next thing I know there is a fist colliding with my face it didn’t hurt ( I’m a black belt I get punched in sparring for fun so it was mostly just a surprise) I just kindof backed up in a bit of shock not knowing what was going on. Then Christina comes hurrying forward grabs my face gently and is all worried about me checking to see if I’m ok and I’m standing there in shock because Christina has really pretty eyes and she’s so much prettier than that cute guy a few rows down and her hands are SO SOFT
so I stand there opening and closing my mouth for a second then finally nod and she proceeds to continue to apologize and then check on me in every class.
I WAS PUNCHED IN THE FACE BY MY SEXUALITY AND I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO WHAT EVER GOD THERE WAS CAUSE SHE TOUCHED MY FACE
This is greatness
I know It was me and I’m still like damn that’s really gay
I also ended up meeting my next female crush due to punching it is an odd story but the moral of the story is at fourteen I figured I have a type and it’s bad ass girls
sleep paralysis is honestly the most bullshit part of being a living thing. sometimes my brain just occasionally screws up and goes ????? uhhhh . cant move. here’s a demon
Why is it cute and trendy for girls to wear men’s flannel shirts and baggy boy’s sweatpants, but when a boy tries to wear anything remotely close to girl’s clothes, they are considered “girly” or “gay”?
Do you know why?
Do you want to know why?
Because our society thinks its degrading to be feminine.
GIVE THIS THING AS MANY NOTES AS POSSIBLE. EVERYBODY MUST SEE THIS AND HAVE IT ON THEIR BLOG. HOLY SHIT.
No its because most boys look ridiculous in girls clothes, but girls look decent in “boyfriend” clothes. Stop trying to make EVERY THING into some form of female oppression.
It’s not “boyfriend” clothes. Clothes do not inherently have gender, they are pieces of fabric and no one cares about your hetero insertions. There was a time when it was normal for young men to wear dresses, clothing was much more gender neutral.
Cute little boys in their boy dresses!
And dresses and skirts look fine on men:
In different cultures around the world different items of clothing are worn that in many countries would be seen as feminine:
And they all look fabulous as fuck, like wow!
The only reason you think so now is because you are socialised differently. Which is ok, that happens, but when you assert things as facts and don’t look at any of the culture behind them you looking like an anal fissure.
Do not project your issues onto other men, men can wear whatever the fuck they want and look fabulous as hell.
