i’m reblogging this again SHUT UP
Gender essentialism is the assumption that women are naturally like this, while men are naturally like that, and nature made it so and anyone who deviates from that pattern is a freak. Most commonly it comes in the form of “women are naturally submissive and men are naturally dominant”.
This is an absolutely unprovable statement. It is an opinion, not a fact. Look at the amount of gender conditioning we receive from infancy: different colors for girls and boys (in some cultures), commercials proclaiming boys like toy guns and trucks while girls like dollies that pee. Throughout life, we are punished for deviating from our cultural gender norms, and yet very few people find it easy to avoid those deviations.
If it’s so natural, why all the conditioning?

REBLOG FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Ever since Dragon Age II came out and players noticed that there were non-heterosexual relationships in the game, there’s been a very small minority that have been very, very unhappy with this. BioWare’s mostly ignored people’s complaints, but they finally shot down a very vocal individual on the Dragon Age II forums with whom this wasn’t sitting well.
Janelle Monáe - Tightrope (feat. Big Boi)
i think i listen to this song once a day
this song has become part of my daily routine
Man, words cannot express my love for Janelle, seriously. My second most played song on itunes, and it was only veeeery recently knocked off the top by a few plays of Cee Lo’s likewise ironically uplifting Fuck You.
10. Favorite party banter
This is really hard but one I will forever love, and it’s a string of awesome, is all the banter between Zevran and Wynne. MY ETERNAL LOVE FOR WYNNE’S BOSOM!
- Wynne: You must know that murder is wrong, I assume.
- Zevran: I’m sorry… are you speaking to me?
- …
Oghren: Elf!
Zevran: Oghren!
Oghren: I have something to say to you!
Zevran: I am all ears, as we elves like to say.
