More like Game of Fucked me up.
I am having all the feels this evening. All of them.
George R.R. Martin on writing women:
… the socialization of boys regarding masculinity is often at the expense of women. I came to realize that we don’t raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women (or gay men). We teach boys that girls and women are “less than” and that leads to violence by some and silence by many. It’s important for men to stand up to not only stop men’s violence against women but, to teach young men a broader definition of masculinity that includes being empathetic, loving and non-violent.
I want more dudes, specifically dudes entrenched in masculine culture, to think and talk like this.

Stats Pr0n of the Day: U.S. Map of Hate Speech on Twitter
Since June 2012, Dr. Monica Stevens of Humboldt State University in California has been mapping more than 150,000 geotagged tweets that contain homophobic, racist or abliest language. The result is the Geography of Hate, an interactive map of the U.S. which reveals the hotspots of “hate tweets” across the country. A deeper analysis of the project is available at Floating Sheep.
The Eastern half of this country needs to get its SHIT TOGETHER.

SCAR protests USC staff Title IX violations
Today, members of the Student Coalition Against Rape banded together to protest the recent (and ongoing) civil rights violations perpetrated by specific faculty — including DPS officers, employees at the Student Counseling Center and Engemann Student Health Center, SJACS committee members such as Raquel Torres-Retana, and the growing list of administrators who have not responded to direct correspondence from students.
The fight continues. A group of fellow-minded students and I wrote a petition and organized a similar protest 2 years ago over that heinous Kappa Sig email, which was really just the tip of the iceberg of the culture maintained at USC. We met with the administration a few times, wrote a petition, and then we all graduated within a month. And yet, I see that progress hasn’t moved far enough. They still don’t listen to the students’ demands. A demand for basic dignity, safety, and respect. And that’s deplorable.
More evidence that BUB is the best.
