TW: Mention of Eating Disorders

Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue’s flagship US edition, and Emmanuelle Alt of Paris Vogue - which caused an uproar in 2010 with a photo spread featuring a 10-year-old girl - are among those who agreed to the pact.

“Vogue believes that good health is beautiful,” said Jonathan Newhouse, chairman of Conde Nast International and a scion of the New York publishing family that privately owns the world’s most influential fashion title.

“Vogue editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the wellbeing of their readers,” he added.

In a six-point pact to appear in their respective June issues, the editors pledge to not to knowingly work with models under the age of 16 or with those “who appear to have an eating disorder”.

“We will work with models who, in our view, are healthy and help us to promote a healthy body image,” they said.

Hire girls who don’t “appear” to have eating disorders (whatever the fuck that means) and then PhotoShop the shit out of them. Same shit, different pile y’all.

Anonymous asked: As a straight edge male, I find your post incredibly wrong. Calling the punk scene or the straight edge scene misogynistic is pretty fallacious.

You must not really go to shows or listen to much punk rock music. This isn’t even a speculative argument. I have seen it with my own eyes. 

Also, shouldn’t it be “as someone who is affected by sexism/misogyny, I feel that ____”?
Why is that dude even thinking that their opinion matters when it comes to misogyny

Some anonymous guy said it wasn’t misogynistic everyone, sounds legit, pack up your feminist bags and let’s go home

Fuck this guy. FUCK HIM.

I know what you’re thinking. “Are you fucking kidding me?” No, I’m not. This is an actual tag found on an Enjoi brand sweater in PacSun. What is it about advertising that makes sexism seem like a good marketing campaign? I’ll never be sure. This is part of the problem. This is part of the underlying menace that is stereotypical gender roles. These subtle messages are what allow misogynistic comments and jokes to be made. We all saw Dr. Pepper’s latest marketing campaign - “Not For Women.” It’s these small things we see every day, everywhere, that remind us that we’re far from equality. Frankly, I’m tired of living in a world where advertisers think they need sexism to sell their products.

i’m just really sick of being told i take things too seriously when i see issues with things like this. it’s not just a joke, even if you say it is. there is something seriously wrong here, and i’m sick of being treated like i’m overreacting to these little things because these little things are a part of our very fucked up big culture of bullshit and prejudice.

Lol I love Enjoi xD ahaha

People need to stop being so butthurt about this stuff. Chill out and take a joke.

What Nathan said…. I hope you all know that almost every company has a female high up in the rankings that help make decisions.

Oh good! I guess that means sexism is over now. Thanks, bro.

This is the remarkable moment when a tiger bowed its head and placed a paw up to the hand of a small girl.

Photographer Dyrk Daniels noticed the 370lb Golden Bengal Tiger had taken an interest in the child, who was leaning against his glass enclosure.

As the tiger, called Taj, headed over to her, Mr Daniels got his camera ready, expecting him to snarl and bang against the glass.

‘I noticed that Taj had taken an interest in the girl and was heading towards her.

‘I thought for certain that the little girl would need therapy after the encounter and fear cats for the rest of her life.

‘I could not believe my eyes when Taj approached the girl, bowed his head and then placed his huge right paw exactly in front of where the little girl’s left hand was.

‘It was incredible to watch. Taj let down his right paw, rubbed his cheek against the glass where the little girl’s face was and moved off.’

Far from being scared, the little girl was so excited that she started clapping as she walked back afterwards towards her mother. 

‘I have never seen such tenderness from such a large predator,’ Mr Daniels said.

yeah, let’s see how tender a tiger is when you take the glass away…

I’M JUST SAYING

“Goddamn this glass, all I wanted was a snack.”

If I see any Día de los Muertos “costumes” this Halloween

I may react violently.

Are you angry? Punch a pillow. Was it satisfying? Not hardly. These days people are too angry for punching. What you might try is stabbing. Take an old pillow and lay it on the front lawn. Stab it with a big pointy knife. Again and again and again. Stab hard enough for the point of the knife to go into the ground. Stab until the pillow is gone and you are just stabbing the earth again and again, as if you want to kill it for continuing to spin, as if you are getting revenge for having to live on this planet day after day, alone.
