Do you know what I hate??

When I was growing up any time my brother upset/hurt/was rude to or downright nasty to me I was told “he’s just doing it to get a rise out of you” “he’s just doing it to annoy you”

Like??? I know?? I know he’s being mean to upset me. I know he’s saying horrible stuff to annoy me. And guess what?? I’m annoyed!!!!

I was literally told not to be upset, because his intentions were to upset me????

How is that not upsetting? Especially to a young girl??

THE GASLIGHTING STARTS EARLY.

Too many parents teach their daughters to shut up about mistreatment rather than teach their sons to not mistreat people. The response I got all the time was “If you ignore it he’ll get bored and stop.” No, he’ll move on to someone who gives him the reaction he wants. He’s being taught that it’s not his job to behave appropriately, it’s the woman’s job to react appropriately (i.e. ignore him) and if she doesn’t he’s free and clear to keep mistreating her.

Oh my god yes

My mother still does this. My brother says stupid racist/sexist/homophobic things and I (rightfully) call him out on it, only for my mom to defend him by saying “he’s only doing it to get a rise out of you.” Like okay, but isn’t it still shitty for him to say things just to upset me?

I also got that my brothers terrorized me to make me tougher, which is also bullshit.

Y’all do this now. A lot. “Ignore them they’re just trolling” like everyday people tell women to shut up and ignore mistreatment because “they just wanna get a rise out of you”. And a rise they will get along with some hands.

Chapter 3 of Spark is DONE… sending to my beta now, hopefully will be able to post some time this week! 

And now I go to bed omg why did I stay up so late… ???

Trying to distract myself from the fact that my grandpa passed away yesterday by writing the funeral scene from Spark is not going very well. 

Four Presidential candidates sign pledge to void all gay marriages

Four Presidential candidates sign pledge to void all gay marriages

The National Organisation for Marriage – which was forced to disclose this week that it is secretly funded by Catholic donors – asked all Republican candidates to pledge support for a new constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman – voiding the thousands of existing same-sex weddings across all 50 states.

It is also asking them to “prevent the promotion of a redefined version of marriage in public schools” – effectively de-facto banning teachings about same-sex marriage or same-sex couples.

The group also wants them to protect “the right of organisations and individuals” who disagree with same-sex marriage – permitting discrimination against same-sex couples.

Incredibly, despite the overtly homophobic measures proposed by the anti-gay group, four of the Republicans vying for the Presidential nomination actually signed the pledge.

Rick Santorum, Senator Ted Cruz, Dr Ben Carson, and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal all agreed with the group’s mission to strip gay people of their basic rights to marriage and protection from discrimination.

It is not a particular surprise from any of the four, all of whom have equally vile records of homophobia.

Carson, who is currently polling second in a field of seventeen, has claimed that equal marriage is a ‘Marxist plot’ and claimed prisons prove being gay is a choice.

Cruz recently branded Ellen Page a “liberal fascist” for asking him about LGBT rights, while Rick Santorum still thinks gay people can be cured, and letting them marry will cause a global crisis.

Jindal, meanwhile, is trying to introduce a law in Louisiana explicitly permitting discrimination against same-sex couples.

Spread their names, remember their pledge, tell everyone. Don’t forget this after election season.

Fuck them so much! what kind of evil monsters are you?! You call yourselves Christians yet the only thing you prove to me is that demons exist. And you’re not possessed, you are the demons themselves. I’m so ashamed that you dare to associate yourself with my God. Disgusting.

This disgusts me.

Never forget these monstrous people who show us exactly what NOT to do to develop this nation. 

I’m wondering when they’ll announce the required display of a sign or emblem on all LGBT people. Pink triangle, maybe?
