Watch: ’The Daily Show’ absolutely nailed what it’s like to be a woman on campus today 

James Madison University joined the ever-growing list of U.S. colleges that have grossly mishandled sexual assault and rape cases last week when a young woman claimed that the school punished the three men who assaulted her by expelling them — after graduation.

Jon Stewart echoed the perplexed outrage of many on The Daily Show last night when he asked, “Wait a minute, ‘expelled upon graduation?’ Isn’t that… graduation? … What the fuck? … Clearly, universities are not making their campuses safe for women.”

But I’m a Cheerleader (1999)

1,2,3,4, I won’t take no anymore. 5,6,7,8 – I want you to be my mate. 1,2,3,4 – you’re the one that I adore. 5,6,7,8 – don’t run from me cause this is fate.

This movie is so fucking important to me. A queer film that doesn’t end in grim tragedy, is funny and camp and sassy, but at the same time takes a serious look at anti-gay ‘cures’, marginalisation of queer youth, racial inequality, identity, and love.

omg I didn’t realize that, I love this scene 100x more now

I think his fight against evil Richard Armitage is actually his first, but I still like the idea about body image, and it still applies.

#jesus how can people say and write her like some cold hearted bitch #look at that smile of relief when he falls through #she is not a robot #she is just someone with a very specific skill set

 #90% of fandom perceives and writes natasha as an emotionless automaton who hates everything and everyone and barely talks #but#guys she joked with cap three seconds after meeting him #she displayed so many emotions during the scene with bruce/the hulk #and afterwards when fury told everyone about coulson #she was nice and friendly to bruce and she didn’t want tony to die #fandom needs to understand that being stoic doesn’t make you soulless or emotionless #s i g h #black widow #better than ur faves

#THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT FFS #this is not just a cool nickname for her #most titles like that are held by (white) men #as a proof of their unparalleled hypermasculinity #one that comes from bloodshed and slaughter #titles like that earned and not easily #but this isn’t most titles #this is something melinda got as a token for her trauma after Bahrain #it’s like a brand seared onto her forehead #and to her it’s ugly and accusing and associated with so much pain #so while on the one hand i’m very happy a woman of colour gets to hold a Big Badass Nickname #while simultaneously deconstructing it #i’m extremely unhappy when the fandom refers to her as that (via stardust-rain)
