I think @taylorswift13’s next PR move (or at least definitely queued, as to not seem so obvious) is to get a black female best friend to add to her squad. Obviously. My thoughts on the whole Gender/Race Twitter discussion [+ a helpful comments thread if you click the link] here (x):
Tag: sex and gender
I want to be a doctor (sexism in medicine is not a myth).
Cheers to the future.
i’ve been thinking lately (on language, 1984 and the ‘bakla’)
I’ve been thinking more and more lately about language, and specifically their role in the formation of ideas and the creation of avenues of discourse. This won’t be a cohesive opinion, because I just want this out of my chest. I’ve been thinking too much. In Orwell’s 1984, the idea of crimethink (which exists in vernacular as thoughtcrime)…
#LoveWins: Love is more than just a word.
People should be careful with their language. Words have power, and meaning transcends what is written.

The Third Vatican Council, is undoubtedly the largest and most important since the Second Vatican Council was concluded in 1962. Pope…
Time for some SCIENCE THINKING THING!
You know you’ve been affected by one too many bio lectures when your first reaction when seeing this in tumblr is not to “aww” or reminisce about movie-related moments. It’s to think: wow, that’s really, really wrong. And my second reaction of giggling inside my head probably isn’t because of (SCIENCE!!), but I can’t help but be…
Essay: Filipina Feminista
An amazingly dry essay on what is and isn’t for the Filipino feminist. See the end for references and notes. Filipina Feminista AND WHY SHE’S NOT MOVING ONWARDS The 2011 Gender Gap Report by The World Economic Forum presents something to be excited about: out of 135 countries tested, the Philippines ranks with the eighth…
