Three Good Things About Today: 5-16-12

I’m still a bum. This probably won’t be a pattern like it used to; my life is about to get super busy because of my wonderful summer camp job. Deal with it.

1.) I made pasta primavera for my parents tonight, and they loved it!

2.) I’m almost done with packing and taking care of all of the errands I need to do before I move down to Texas for the summer.

3.) I thought I lost two very important things today, but I ended up finding them both. Whew!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MEN CAN WEAR DRESSES DAY!!!!
Ever wondered by it’s okay for women to wear pants but men can’t wear dresses?  It’s because dresses are feminine and men who wear them are degrading themselves with femininity, whereas women who wear pants are improving themselves with masculinity.  What a bunch of bullshit!  If there are any men out there who truly value women as equals, they will be unafraid to show that MEN CAN PROUDLY WEAR DRESSES.
So today I’m putting out the call to my surprisingly large number of male followers to go out, don a dress, take a picture, and submit it!  It’s open to anyone who’s male-assigned or male-identified, so don’t be shy!

The only reason white people think being called a “white person” is racist, or harmful or wrong is because they are used to the privilege of just being seen as a “person” without their race or color being an issue for them.

This.

Seriously. This is one of the most interesting and concise explanations of normative language and privilege I’ve seen in a while.
