WHITE PEOPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WANDAAAAAA
![somerset:
I don’t want to be working for money because then you are no different [from] a prostitute.
Oh my God! I’m not black but I know what it feels like!
I think it’s kind of an exciting time. I mean, everyone is cutting back. It’s happening in every industry - including our own. All of a sudden, people are doing jobs that they hate and they’re not making as much money as they thought they would or they’ve lost their jobs entirely.
It’s like how women have an advantage in war in some ways because they’re perceived as being weak.
It’s funny, some of my actress friends and I talk about how none of us have the big wedding obsession that other girls our age have, and I think it’s because what girls experience on their wedding day happens a few times a year for us. Any time you go to a premiere, you get your hair and make-up done and everyone is looking at you.
I don’t have a problem with making money, but I don’t believe in doing something you don’t believe in to make money like a makeup campaign or something like that.
Most girls get so excited to get dressed up and I think all the girls who go to [the oscars] are just excited to be at home in sweats with like messy hair and no makeup is the biggest luxury of all.
Now I wouldn’t be like ‘Let’s work with the first time director [Zach Braff] who’s in a television show I’ve never seen.’
But [Jonathan Safran Foer] reminds us that being a man, and a human, takes more thought than just ‘This is tasty, and that’s why I do it.’ He posits that consideration, as promoted by Michael Pollan in The Omnivore’s Dilemma, which has more to do with being polite to your tablemates than sticking to your own ideals, would be absurd if applied to any other belief (e.g., I don’t believe in rape, but if it’s what it takes to please my dinner hosts, then so be it).
I really love beautiful things and I actually don’t take issue with borrowing things for premieres. I don’t see it as me buying into consumerism because I really don’t shop at all. I’m obviously lucky to be in a position where people give me things.
I still have like the first ipod, like that’s what I still use. But I feel like those things come out…but I feel like it’s so wasteful to just like throw it out, like where do all the old ipods…I mean I’m embarrassed when I take mine out… but like dolphins are dying from like the…[is informed that they can be recycled]…Really? That’s good.

Wooooooooooow. Never was too fond of her. Yikes.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrx0e6Qnyy1qzh94so1_500.jpg)

I feel like people who produce stop-motion videos must exist at a totally higher level of human beings. I could never even dream of having enough patience for that.
I really have zero liking for Kirsten Dunst as an actress, but the Ryan Gosling and Frank Langella in this movie are keeping me watching.

Hmm.. so obsessed that you’ve never read any of the books, or…?

I haven’t posted anything wedding related in a while. Withdrawal!
To all those men who don’t think the rape jokes are a problem:
I get it—you’re a decent guy. I can even believe it. You’ve never raped anybody. You would NEVER rape anybody. You’re upset that all these feminists are trying to accuse you of doing something, or connect you to doing something, that, as far as you’re concerned, you’ve never done and would never condone.
And they’ve told you about triggers, and PTSD, and how one in six women is a survivor, and you get it. You do. But you can’t let every time someone gets all upset get in the way of you having a good time, right? Especially when it doesn’t mean anything. Rape jokes have never made YOU go out and rape someone. They never would; they never could. You just don’t see how it matters.
I’m going to tell you how it does matter. And I tell you this because I genuinely believe you mean it when you say you don’t want to hurt anybody, and that it’s important to you to do your best to be a decent and good person, and that you don’t see the harm. And I genuinely believe you when you say you would never associate with a rapist and you think rape really is a very bad thing.
Here is why I refuse to take rape jokes sitting down…
Because 6% of college-aged men, slightly over 1 in 20, will admit to raping someone in anonymous surveys, as long as the word “rape” isn’t used in the description of the act—and that’s the conservative estimate. Other sources double that number (pdf).
A lot of people accuse feminists of thinking that all men are rapists. That’s not true. But do you know who think all men are rapists?
Rapists do.
They really do. In psychological study, the profiling, the studies, it comes out again and again.
Virtually all rapists genuinely believe that all men rape, and other men just keep it hushed up better. And more, these people who really are rapists are constantly reaffirmed in their belief about the rest of mankind being rapists like them by things like rape jokes, that dismiss and normalize the idea of rape.
If one in twenty guys (or more) is a real and true rapist, and you have any amount of social activity with other guys like yourself, then it is almost a statistical certainty that one time hanging out with friends and their friends, playing Halo with a bunch of guys online, in a WoW guild, in a pick-up game of basketball, at a bar, or elsewhere, you were talking to a rapist. Not your fault. You can’t tell a rapist apart any better than anyone else can. It’s not like they announce themselves.
But, here’s the thing. It’s very likely that in some of these interactions with these guys, at some point or another, someone told a rape joke. You, decent guy that you are, understood that they didn’t mean it, and it was just a joke. And so you laughed.
Or maybe you didn’t laugh. Maybe it just wasn’t a very funny joke. So maybe you just didn’t say anything at all.
And, decent guy who would never condone rape, who would step in and stop rape if he saw it, who understands that rape is awful and wrong and bad, when you laughed? When you were silent?
That rapist who was in the group with you, that rapist thought that you were on his side. That rapist knew that you were a rapist like him. And he felt validated, and he felt he was among his comrades.
You. The rapist’s comrade.
And if that doesn’t make you feel sick to your stomach, if that doesn’t make you want to throw up, if that doesn’t disturb you or bother you or make you feel like maybe you should at least consider not participating in that kind of humor anymore, not abiding it in your presence, not greeting it with silence…
Well, maybe you aren’t as opposed to rapists as you claim.
