Are you majoring in sociology? I study cultural anthropology :)
Anonymous asked: Not having seen Black Swan, I can still appreciate your thoughtful and excellent analysis. As a Darren Aronofsky film, do you think this is a unique case, or do you see the same attitudes reflected in his other works (The Wrestler, "women are either eye-candy prostitutes or difficult", Requiem for a Dream, "women are sexual objects" The Fountain "women are mystical...
portugaltheoffice asked: I love how the anonymous people are afraid to show their faces when they talk about how "pretentious" you are. Keep doing what you're doing. Your words are wonderful.

fuckyouprivilegedkids-deactivat asked: yeah, it's mind-blowing that you're applying for undergrad. I'm finishing my last year as a sociology major & i've been super depressed all of winter break struggling with what sociology means to me (originally, i wanted to study stratification & privilege so i could apply these insights to social justice efforts somewhere down the line). i even deleted my original,...

“A person of good intelligence and of sensitivity cannot exist in this society...”
– And yet somehow it’s the fault of the conscious for being “hyper-sensitive”—for having faulty and irrational senses of wrongness and objective verisimilitude. I’ve come to find more and more that there’s a complacent attitude surrounding our societies multiple...
icarusfalls asked: I love your posts. They're always fascinating and my cousins are the same way- my female cousin is the opposite, because of my family's preference for the males she ended up being loud, brash and "sassy" as they say and behaves in ways that women "aren't supposed to behave in. She is shunned by the family for choosing to have a personality rather than fading into the...

– Sorry, but what does this mean? Maybe I’m missing some context here, but this is nothing short of thinly-veiled racism. Saying to an entire race of people that the processes by which they’ve been excluded and ostracized from our nation’s culture and identity is attributable to...
maybeallweneedisalittle asked: this is a fantastic tumblr! i'm super new to this tumbl-ing, but i'm delighted to tumble upon yours. i want to read everything but also want to space it out so the interest lasts longer!
that said, i hope i'm not making a suggestion that is not needed, but I'm from Canada and doing research on anti-racist sex education and if you haven't already read them, I would...

lovewashername asked: Is standpoint epistemology the way in which you understand or rather frame your understanding of white privilege? I've actually never heard of it before, but it's interesting that that particular theory I'll call it puts emphasis on way of thinking rather than something to have and hold, which is something I don't exactly agree with.

noreenbauble-deactivated2012010 asked: I just wanted to say that your post on religious beliefs was one of the most beautiful, almost tear-jearking posts I've ever seen on this site. I was raised a Preacher's Kid in a strict home, and have dealt with both sides of this on a regular basis. I've always felt that I should give everyone a chance to explain themselves. However, the interactions I've had with athiests...
