Went to the zoo today and saw a bald eagle. Kind of ironic seeing our symbol for freedom locked in a cage. (source)

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”

more cis feminists should have this mindset

one of the first examples that she uses to introduce her point about how perception by others can shape a person’s performance actually uses a trans woman. it explains that as a certain trans woman became to be seen as a woman more and more frequently, the ppl arond her eventually started viewing her as being ill equipped for tasks that they did not bother her about pre-transition. eventually she even found herself underperforming in these tasks herself.

whats the name of the book

Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine

Here’s a pdf, babes ❤

I knew it was this book before I’d finished reading the first two lines. Honestly this book is indispensible if you want to debunk any gender determinism people claim is science. I can’t recommend it enough.

She’s written a new one! It won the Royal Society prize for science book of the year, and it’s called Testosterone Rex, and it is excellent.

(Bonus: it’s making old white men really really mad.)

(Bonus bonus: I am myself a neuroscientist, and the old white men mentioned above – who are not – could not have missed the point harder if they’d actively tried. Which. Maybe?)

do you ever get mad because there’s so much wasted potential in characters and relationships and plotlines in some shows

eqocentric:

those people who say they’re ugly but actually they’re super attractive

ladies, if you laugh at or ridicule your bf/husband/man because he cried and was vulnerable by sharing his emotions with you, then maybe you’re not emotionally mature enough to be in a relationship.

TIL that in 2007, the Australian Government spent $84 million on a porn filter. A 16-year old boy, Tom Wood, cracked the filter in less than 40 minutes.
