An apocalyptic event wipes out much of humanity? Realistic. A high fantasy setting with magic and fantastical creatures? Doable. A futuristic setting with advanced technology, galaxy-spanning empires and alien races? To be expected! Brown people? Wow thats kind of
Found a paper I wrote in 5th grade that I got an ‘f’ on.
My prompt was “Imagine you are sitting on a cloud, what would you do or see”
I wrote,
“I would see the ground as I fell because I would fall through it because in science you told us that clouds were just water mists.”
Basically the American education system
“Besides, what is a little girl going to teach Wan Shi Tong, he who knows ten-thousand things?”
“Well, since you’ve been down in the Spirit World, the humans have invented radio.”
“Yes, I am well aware of the radio.”
This is the greatest scene in the history of everything
listen, don’t /ever/ talk badly about someone’s taste in music. you do not know what that music means to them or how deeply it will hurt them. it’s okay if you don’t like the same music, hey i’m all up for personal preferences but it does not give you the right to talk shit.
1. Your place is in the kitchen. If you somehow manage to find work outside of the home, it is because you fucked the interviewer.
2. You cannot participate in sports because no one will want to watch you play. Unless your uniform is a sports bra and spandex.
3. ‘You are not like other girls’ is the best compliment you can receive. Other girls are your enemies because they are your competition. Not in landing a job, but in landing a husband.
4. Homosexuality is okay in pornography. Love and marriage with someone that is of the same sex as you is not.
5. You were asking for it. Despite the fact that he was your friend, despite the fact that you were too inebriated to say ‘yes’, despite the fact that you were passed out. You were asking for it.
6. Wearing revealing clothes makes you a slut.
7. Don’t have sex because everyone will think you’re a slut.
8. The worst thing you can possibly be is a slut.
9. But you still need to be sexually alluring and available. Just not a slut.
10. It is your responsibility not to get pregnant and your responsibility alone. However, if you do get pregnant, you cannot get an abortion because that’s just being selfish.
11. You don’t want to have children? That’s not how things are done. You’re not living up to your role as a woman.
12. Being upset and cognizant of your feelings is a sign of emotional and mental instability.
13. Lose weight.
14. But keep your curves. You’re not a real woman without them.
15. You don’t own the rights to your body.
16. If you notice any discrimination based on your sex or gender, it’s better to keep quiet because you don’t want to upset anyone. Silence is better than making someone uncomfortable.
17. It is your fault for being born a woman. And you should be ashamed.

Isn’t it odd how everyone that supports abortion has already been born?
Strangely, everyone who opposes abortion has also been born. It’s almost like you have to be born to have opinions… like it’s part of the basic definition of being a person or something. I’m so glad you pointed that out. It’s a really great point.
