Protip for men: if marriage is a horrifying concept for you and you think it is an evil trap, do not buy a ring and ask a woman to marry you
Iâm way over seeing radical feminist bullshit on my dash. This isnât even social justice or a real issue.
sorry that not marrying someone you dont loathe is radical feminism i guess?
women: donât propose or get married if u donât like the thought of marriage
men: what kind of sjw fuckery
the other bit that this implies is:
If you like your wife, act like it. Even around your friends. Be open and honest about liking your wife, liking spending time with her, and not being resentful of the shared work of building a household. Let your buddies know you canât hang out with them because youâd rather be home with your wife, whom you like, because she is your legit bff, even though you know your buddies are gonna mock you for it.
Stand up to your buddies. Tell them mocking isnât cool and you donât want them to do it anymore. Challenge the other men in your life to be better men.
That is what âdonât get married if you think marriage is an evil trapâ implies to men who are married. And while itâs all completely reasonable I imagine that itâs scary as fuck when itâs just so much easier to har de har har the little womanâs such a nag, ainât she, donât we all hate being married so much? with other men.
In that context, âdonât get married if you think marriage is an evil trapâ is kindof a radical statement.
The number of guys I work with who are engaged who started pulling the âuh oh, life over soon, har harâ shit that I have completely shut down with a simple âwell if you donât want to get married, then donâtââŠ*sigh* And theyâre just like, hem, haw, welllll if I donât then she might not stay with meee, which I respond to with âwell, sounds like you need to have a pretty serious and honest conversation with your fiancee about your feelings thenâ and then the *panic!* lookâŠWhen you remove that easy âhah hah ball-and-chainâ narrative, watch the reaction. Some of them (to a female friend) will mumblingly admit that they love their fiancee and are excited to be married. OthersâŠall you get is fear.
Thatâs the disservice we do men by refusing to teach boys how to explore their emotional needs. It hurts everyone. I watched three male friends walk into marriages I can tell they werenât ready for and didnât want, just because it was expected and they had no tools for emotional self-examination. Two of those marriages are (shockingly) in crisis, a couple years later. One has kids involved now. Itâs more than a little heartbreaking. The marriages I see that are working? Are the guys with the emotional maturity to talk to their wives and who donât care if everyone knows theyâre in love with them.
SERIOUSLY.Â
My friend is getting married this summer and when I congratulated her fiance on their engagement he said to me âYeah well you know, women. This is what they want so you have to bite the bullet.â and my other friendâs husband who was sitting next to him laughed and agreed. If this is how you feel, donât get married. Donât propose. JustâŠ. Donât. Do it. Any of it.
Straight people think that doing things you really donât want to do – like marriage and having kids – is normal cos theyâre still stuck in a fucking 19th century mindset.
Itâs why I know my best friend got a good one, heâs open about how much he loves her and heâs excited to be getting married and regularly contributes ideas and has his own input, itâs nice to see
It filters through as well. Even being gay, a lot of my straight friends donât understand why I spend so much time with my husband. Because I love him? Because I enjoy his company? Because heâs my best friend? I canât count the amount of straight people that have told me that they think itâs âweirdâ that my husband and I spend so much quality time together. The only person who understood was my mom, whose response was: âIf you love someone and genuinely enjoy their company, why WOULDNâT you want to spend your free time with them?!â
How can anyone look at their impending marriage and think âoh no, itâs all over nowâ like???? Iâve only felt so close to so many people in my life, but those small few were like?? Iâd wake up in the morning excited to be awake just to look forward to SEEING them. Iâd catch myself with this stupid idiot grin in broad daylight just THINKING ABOUT BEING AROUND THEM. Iâd sleep easy with them in my head, shitty days became perfect once I spoke to them. THATâs how I imagine feeling again someday. I think about feeling that way for someone again and itâs like the whole future opens up. Marriage is finding your best friend in the whole wide world and wanting to have a sleepover every single day, and to agree to it and then go around groaning like your freedom is being stolen is a HUGE disrespect. If you have the freedom to share your life with anyone you like and you throw it around like baggage you really canât expect it to grow, can you? You gotta care about yourself a little more than that I think
All of this.
Not to mention this mentality makes itâs way TO THE DAY OF THE WEDDING. How many weddings have we seen with something like this:
Like what kind of toxic mentality do you have to have to say this as the bride is about to walk down the aisle and marry someone who itâs now suggested doesnât even want to be there?? How is this cute? How is this supposedly charming? This is supposed to be the person you love and want to be with! And not to mention that you send this down the aisle with a small child (the ring bearer or the flower girls)âŠI have a special loathing for things like this.Â
Holy shit I didnât know that was even a thing.
This reminds me of a study I read about years ago with statistics on happiness/stability in relationships of people of various genders/orientations, and straight people were at the very bottom. (And lesbians were at the top! Not a huge surprise, given that women are generally more inclined to communicate and work out emotions and issues.)
Oh God, Iâve found something worse than those horrible âbride dragging the groom kicking and screamingâ wedding toppers.
i think that now completes the Reluctant Straight Wedding Starter PackÂź

i may despise galen erso from the bottom of my shriveled maggoty heart but i have to tell you guys how he managed to sneak in the death star weak spot according to the rogue one novelization because itâs hilarious. if youâre expecting some feat of engineering genius so subtle no one noticed it, you are wrong. galen got krennic to sign off on it himself.
he annoyed the fuck out of krennic by cc-ing him in like a million emails to death star r&d.Â
so i know weâre behind schedule here but we found this structural flaw and wanted to let you guys know about it, says galen.
and r&d is like okay so how do we fix it?Â
and galen is like well we could start over?Â
and r&d is like no thatâll take too long.Â
and galen promises to think about it and writes to them later all hey how about we make some additional investments and get better materials?
and r&d is like no thatâs too expensive.Â
and galen is like weeeellâŠ.Â
and r&d is like well what?
and galen goes well thereâs something we can do but youâre not gonna like it.
and r&d is like okay what is it.Â
and galen is like are you sure you want to hear it?
yes, goes r&d.Â
like, really really super sure?Â
yes, goes r&d.
okay so the problem is radiation buildup, says galen. have i mentioned the problem is radiation buildup?
30 emails ago, r&d says.
right, so. says galen. we could build this exhaust port but itâs not going to get rid of all the radiation all the time, so if youâre having some stormtroopers around they might be exposed to it. i can look into some other options to reduceâ
at which point krennic, whoâs been ccâd in all of this, goes JUST PUT THE FUCKING EXHAUST PORT IN AND GET IT OVER WITH FUCK THOSE STORMTROOPERS ALL THESE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS
and galen is like okay :)
This, THIS is EXACTLY why I felt the need to tweet Alexander Freed and let him know why the novelisation was so important to me, because this is a man who understands the absolute mind-numbing tedium of project management by committee.
Star Wars is and always has been about human nature, and sure, we chuck in some lasers and spaceships for funsies, but itâs about politics and human behaviour, and if you can make one of the the biggest plot holes in sci-fi history turn into a completely logical and rational event just because you understand that big decisions get made precisely because âI AM TOO TIRED TO BOTHER WITH THIS ANY MOREâ then you are an absolute immortal genius, to my mind.
Oh my god I wish this was included in the movie somehow.

âMy mom battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life. She ultimately died of it. She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases. She talked about the shame that torments people and their families confronted by these diseases. I know my Mom, sheâd want her death to encourage people to be open about their struggles. Seek help, fight for government funding for mental health programs. Shame and those social stigmas are the enemies of progress to solutions and ultimately a cure. Love you Momby.â –  Billie Lourd.

Practical, not sexist or supposed-to-look-hot female armor which actually protects you.
Look.Â
Look at the lack of tit cups.Â
Bonus:
argument: captain phasmaâs armor is supposed to look hot. but, this is the crucial thing, it looks hot from the point of view of the character herself, and makes perfect sense in the context of the story.Â
âPhasma had the armor polished in chromium, which had been salvaged from a Naboo yacht that had once belonged to Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire, the First Orderâs precursor.â
phasma has spent like all her life in the first order, as a storm trooper. you ask any storm trooper âwhat would be the sexiest possible modification to your armorâ and none of them are going to say âcut a boob windowâ theyâre gonna say âplate it with something HARDCOREâ.Â
after they finish high-fiving, they will probably add, âAND STICK A CAPE ON.â
#other hot thing about phasma armour: #Gwendolyn Christie is inside (via @holdbeast)
a good thing has appeared on my dash!!!
also, ask a stormtrooper what they really, really want, and they might glance around a bit before saying, âindividualityâ
no one else looks like phasma, and for a stormtrooper, thatâs pretty amazing.
