“ Attacking femaleness, deriding ‘girly stuff’ and rolling your eyes at ‘women’s issues,’ declaring yourself a ‘tomboy’ who gets along better with men because women are silly or pretty or whatever - these are expressions of internalised sexism. If that’s the way you feel about your own sex you’ll be doomed to feel inferior no matter what you achieve in life.

“ Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence; does more than represent the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge.
Toni Morrison, Nobel Lecture, December 7, 1993.
(And just in case some of you are not aware of what oppressive language is, its words that people use as insults such as; Fagot, gay, pussy, paki, girl, dyke etc…)
ignorance- route of evil…

“ Humanity is identity. All men are made of the same clay. No difference, here below at least, in predestination. The same darkness before, the same flesh during, the same ashes after. But when ignorance is mixed with human dough, it blackens it. This incurable blackness takes over man’s insides and there turns into Evil.
Victor Hugo (via callousedfingers)

“ A 2009 Government survey of people living in England and Wales found that 20 per cent thought it was acceptable, or at least acceptable in some circumstances, for a man to hit or slap his wife or girlfriend for dressing in sexy or revealing clothing in public. 16 per cent considered nagging or constant moaning justified similar retribution and 13 per cent thought that flirting with other men was deserving of such punishment. Surprised? What do you think? Join the debate…

The stereotypes and the ignorance which causes so much pain to so many is breeding. Ignorance is a selfish infliction onto those with a lack of luster to move forward and seek the truth.
An example of such ignorance which is high and affects so many is mental illness. Mental illness affects 1 in 4 people within their lifetimes and can change their whole world, persona, thoughts and feelings. Mental illness can differ in degree and nature; however no matter what the cause or infliction mental illness breeds hates from others who do not or will not seek to understand.
Stand up, stay strong and fight for intelligence and general empathy towards people, do not allow the ignorance take over and seep into your soul…
