In the mythology of the Celts, goddesses are typically identified with the principles of both life and death. These dual roles are not, however, seen dualistically; that is, as two principles of life and death, forever at war. The Celts portray their goddesses as unselfconsciously reconciling the forces of life and death in the way every mother does in reality: by bringing life into the world, she also brings death. This life/death reconciliation is, to them, simply in the nature of things, not a cause for blame or condemnation. But to the Greek dualistic mentality, nature embodies man’s limitations and weaknesses, and woman embodies nature. Woman serves as a constant and resented reminder of those limitations. This is the sin of Pandora and her daughters, for which misogyny, from its fairy tales to its philosophies, seeks to punish all women.

bossy damn menz shut up
This grrrl got da right idea. Fuck that douchebag. He is so hypocritical. How can a half naked man child telling all us dirty sluts to cover up? What is even more ridiculous is probably the fact that he is hiding that ‘confident’ face behind a piece of paper. STFU you slut shaming, body policing piece of shit!

NEEED
this is really easy to make with an old (or new, w/e) white sweatshirt, two packs of RIT dye, a small bag of conical studs (buy them online for like $3) and about an hour.
while you’re at it, save some money by using the same dye to make about a dozen pairs of those dip-dye jean shorts all the hipsters love right now

You say Iranian women are forced into submission by oppressive Muslim rule? You hold an Orientalist view that Middle Eastern women are forced to live in the home, being oppressed by wearing the veil/hijab/burka while churning out babies and being beaten by their husbands or honor killed by their male family?
I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you over our massive Iranian female police force armed with sub-machine guns, scaling walls, wielding swords, and shooting out of car windows.
