searchingforknowledge: deliciouskaek: searchingforknowledge: native-detroiter: imusgrove: flozac: the principal at my school made an announcement yesterday that the girls need to start covering up and then i found this in the hallway Really? This person is really going to pretend that men think ENTIRELY different from women. Shows their age/ignorance. Why do women(and girls) ignore men over and over again when they explain to them that they are VISUAL creatures. It takes effort to control sexual desires as a man. Most women don’t think of most of the men they meet everyday in a sexual way. Unlike men who do. They say they do. So having rules regarding attire that isn’t overly revealing isn’t illogical or overbearing. It makes sense. But so many young people are so idealistic and lack any nuance into their philosophy of life(the same philosophy on life that will inevitably change with time and experience). that just sounds like boys will be boys So if men cannot control themselves lets lock them up. in cages. If you gonna act like animals, we get to treat you like ones. “it takes effort that we don’t wanna put forth so we’d rather control you than ourselves!” :/ And we know its a big lie anyway cause women get raped wearing top to toe coverage anyway but we gonna pretend like you aint got no sense.

searchingforknowledge: offbeatorbit: robot-heart-politics: yomo7: In the 90s, Time gave the Gen X’ers the same treatment as the Millennials.An older generation calling the younger one lazy and self-absorbed, HOW ORIGINAL.Reality bites, you guys. Let’s listen to some motherfucking Lisa Loeb. I love the self-congratulating tag line. The absurdity of Boomers calling anyone else narcissistic… y’all, people were saying condescending shit about the boomers in the 60s and 70s too.  This critique isn’t new, it just changes and morphs with the changing world and technology and shit.  Decrying younger generations is a cycle that seems to be a fucking rite of passage these days so like ppl need to get a grip like ik that somebody calling you a self-absorbed life long dependent can be baseless and ignorant given the context of the world we’re living in now but this outrage is getting exhausting. Oh, fuck you! The outrage is exhausting!!! Oh my god. The fuckery is not exhausting oh no, its the outrage!! Just accept the fuckery and move on!! Go fuck youself I love how that “hard act to follow” has been responsible for many of the major issues we face in the world today, issues brought about by an unwillingness to sacrifice ego for respect, communication, and human decency.
