So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.

Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!

Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about

Also if you’re ace and/or aro that’s that kinda thing you should tell someone before you start a relationship with them.

oh yeah because being ace is such a deal breaker, right? our personalities don’t matter at all?

can people stop pretending they don’t hate aces? we see right through the bullshit.

different blogger, but presumably similar thoughts on this matter

if someone is ace, no, that’s not a dealbreaker for me because for me, the sexual aspect of a relationship isn’t really that important. it’s whatever. i’m more interested in having a companion & partner on my journey through life. but there are some people for whom it is important to have a sexually fulfilling relationship with their partner. that’s… not a bad thing. it’s fine to want and need that out of a relationship. if one partner wants that and the other doesn’t, then there’s an incompatibility. are there arrangements (a sexually open/romantically closed relationship, for example) that could compensate? sure, that could work for some couples, and if it does, that’s great. but there’s no universal solution there, and no person who has a desire for a sexually fulfilling relationship is obligated to suppress that just so they can have an ace partner. neither is an ace partner obligated to feign or force an interest in sex for a non-ace partner. just accept the incompatibility for a relationship. accept that y’all can probably still be friends. there are people out there, ace or not, who’d date an ace person

and if someone is aro, that is absolutely a dealbreaker. if i start up a friendship with someone, that’s done with 0 expectations other than “we’re gonna be friends.” if i ever started up a more intimate relationship with someone, it’s gonna be done with the expectation that it could evolve into something romantic. if someone says ahead of time “i’m not looking for a relationship” then i wouldn’t waste my time. it wouldn’t matter if they were aro or not. if, after three weeks, someone said “oh btw, i’m not at all interested in a romantic relationship,” i’d be pretty upset, regardless of their reasons. 

people are looking for different things out of relationships. not every non-ace will be compatible with someone who has no desire or willingness to have sex. not every non-aro person will be willing to have a relationship with an aro person. the world is a really big place, though, and non-ace/non-aro people looking for certain things in their romantic partners is not oppression

omg I’m doing research for one of projects for college, and apparently, girls learn better when they’re in an all girls class, but boys learn even worse when they’re in an all boys class, because all the negative things become even stronger of there are no girls to act as “buffer”

get rid of the boys and let girl learn in peace, i couldn’t care less about them

It’s not our job to be a “buffer”

Separate boys from girls then, they don’t have to be acting like mothers at age 12, if boys ruin the education of others boys, um, idk, fix their behavior maybe?

I work at uni. My program is very competitive. Like you need a 92% or more to get in. We get 10x the applications than we can accept. So. This means our program is 95% female. Simply because girls do better in highschool than boys. Its literally that simple. However. This is a HUGE deal in the administration! Because OMG all those poor boys with less than a 92% can’t get into our program and woe is me, those poor poor boys. Every year we meet to talk about ways to “rectify” this “problem”. One year they’re going to stop inviting me to these meetings. Because I always ask questions like “how do we get boys into the program with lower GPAs without denying girls with higher GPAs? And how is giving boys preferential treatment not sexist?” Keep going good ladies, I’m saving your seat!

This type of thing always happens when women are dominating something, protocols are changed to accommodate and benefit men, and if this strategy isn’t successful the field is devalued.

Keep the good work!

The amount of times I heard my grandfather talk about the ‘feminization’ of schools because he wanted to blame the system for boys under performing (or, more accurately: girls out performing the boys) instead of, ya know, boys’ entitled attitudes and overall piss poor behavior when at school.

When women fail at something: there must be something wrong with women
When women succeed at something: there must be something wrong with the system
