this is now an IU appreciation blog.
but not really. I just changed my URL to “farawaythings” because I can’t stop listening to the song Last Fantasy from her new album and there’s a line, “faraway things always look beautiful”, that stands out to me.

Stop Girl Hate!: What is Internalized Misogyny? →
stopgirlhate:
I touched briefly upon a type of internalized misogyny in a recent post, but I didn’t delve too deeply into an explanation of what it was. Seeing as how the post has garnered a lot of attention, I thought it would be a good idea to flesh it out a little more.
In Western society, masculinity is…

Nice Girl (TM):
prettywar:
Constantly compares her more unique and/or modest style to that of girls who reveal more skin and wear high heels
Makes a point of the fact that she either plays video games, reads books, or listens to cool music
Complains about bad girls (Read: Sluts) who get the guy while she’s alone
Totally confused about why she’s alone because she’s obviously so cool and it must be because...
I give you the 2012 Republican Presidential...
Michele Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michele Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)
