Belittling of male rape victims is the result of several factors, but feminism isn’t one of them. The primary reason people think men can’t get raped is that they stereotype men as more capable and stronger. Which is the sort of stereotyping feminism is actively trying to combat.
In fact, feminists are some of the most vocal advocates saying that men can be raped (see example here: http://everydayfeminism.com/2014/12/male-rape-epidemic/ ; I can provide more examples if you want).
Some of the most common proponents of the idea that men can’t be raped are MRAs (which is a misleading name if I’ve ever heard one). If you really want to point fingers, point them at the group that actually is dispensing this sort of lie.
Obviously, people can feel free to choose whatever label they want for their beliefs, but if they believe in equality of the sexes, then they are feminists. If they don’t, then they aren’t. It’s that simple.
Basically why I’m not a feminist
If you do not reblog this, you are in fact lying.
Seriously. The same goes for aro/ace people, pan people, demi people, etc.

Haha I know. Currently I’m procrastinating on a memorization for school ... that’s due tomorrow.
Okay, so this is my tumblr account. I created it a few minutes ago, so there aren't any posts yet. But hi! I'm the creepy stalker knowledgeable person who posted answers to the game.
Molly hi!! congrats on tumblr. it’s a black hole of procrastination.
If you need to talk, I’m here.
well. Colour me impressed. Mother dearest just got so mad, she left. Like, went outside, got in her car and drove off.
Statements about DACA (which was referenced in the original screenshot) generally are about immigration, yes.
I also found the tweet that contained the original screenshot of the email. It’s from a reporter at The Blaze, which is a right-wing organization and I believe the group that originally broke the story.
I can’t find the full email anywhere, nor proof that it actually exists that can’t eventually be traced back to that same tweet. I’m also not subscribed to the Planned Parenthood mailing list, so I can’t just check, but if anyone who follows me is subscribed and would like to verify this, the email would have been from around September 5.
(Also, I think it’s legitimate for an organization to briefly mention issues relating to groups that are not its primary focus as an expression of support when it’s relevant. This would be true even if it were a group that I am not particularly involved with. For instance, if Trump were to sign an executive order tomorrow barring Mormons from attending school, it would be reasonable for GLSEN to send out an email saying something like “We stand with our Mormon members” even though that has nothing to do with GLSEN’s mission (and Mormonism is not known for its acceptance of LGBT+ people.) Putting aside questions of immigration law, Planned Parenthood most likely has DACA beneficiaries on its mailing list; if it wants to reassure those people that it supports them, that is legitimate.)
Zero self-awareness
I haven’t seen a lot of posts that shed some positivity for non-binary Muslims who wear the hijab – I personally sometimes feel it’s frustrating that people see hijabi non-binary people as “female” just because the hijab is an obligation for women. My hijab does not define my gender; only my obligation to my God and my religion!
Shoutout to all non-binary hijabi Muslims out there; you are valid and Allah loves you, insya-Allah!
The Fandom That Lived
as a way of fighting against how bullshit Autism Speaks and its shitty “Light It Up Blue” campaign (for more information of why you shouldn’t support Autism Speaks, see here for a masterpost of resources and reasons why it’s a bad company) and that one anonymous douchebag we got a few days ago about how Luna can’t be autistic, today we’re going to only be posting shitposts about Luna Lovegood, a character who is definitely autistic and nothing you can say will ever change my mind :D
