because drinks have a gender right?

This is something I have never, ever understood. How is something containing, say, fruit, somehow less masculine? Or the shape of the glass it’s in? Or whether it has a garnish or umbrella in it? Why is society shaming men for wanting to drink something delicious that isn’t beer or hard liquor? It’s beyond idiotic. :\

This Reddit comment thread is a really interesting look at something I have thought about a lot: why even though I and my friends/peers have reached “adulthood” several years ago, I feel like I’m still kind of drifting in some nebulous in-between stage, with no clear idea of when or how I’ll feel like I have “made it.”

Particularly this exchange:

Person 1:

“at least in the present age, is that a lot of the markers of adulthood that exist in the absence of a formal ritual—such as purchasing a home, establishing a career right out of college, etc.—have, thanks to a changing economy, become unreachable for many, many people.

I know many who feel like they aren’t really adults because they’ve failed to achieve those traditional American Dream milestones.”

Person 2:

“I would further add that the contrast of the Rockwell Americana image of adulthood absolutely clashes with the modern take of open ended life choice.

It’s not just that it’s unattainable, it’s that we’re comparing apples and oranges and wondering why it’s so hard to figure out when one is ripe based on our benchmarks from the other.”

…I don’t *want* a Rockwellian picket-fence American dream. Yet as a child, that was what adulthood meant to me…my parents had their careers (“stay-at-home mom” in my mom’s case), their kids, their comfortable home in the suburbs, their family vacations… that felt solid and real. Now that *I’m* an adult…I don’t know what my equivalent is.

Hmm.

Comic Book Boycott of the Day: Conservative group One Million Moms is at it again, directing its not-quite-a-million members to boycott Marvel and DC Comics due to recent announcements from both companies about their futures of their gay characters.

DC has revealed that a major character is soon going to come out as gay, while Marvel announced the engagement of superhero Northstar to his boyfriend, Kyle.

These events don’t sit will with One Million Moms, whose anti-gay agenda has also led them to protest the wedding of Archie Comics’ first gay character, Kevin Keller.

“Children desire to be just like superheroes,” said the group in a statement. “Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’”

The statement goes on to accuse the publishers of trying to “indoctrate [sic] impressionable young minds.”

Marvel and DC have yet to respond to the homophobic comments.

[towleroad.]

*sighs and shakes head*

Also: “Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?”

Sounds fine to me? But I sincerely doubt this would happen much…most little boys don’t really say “I want a girlfriend or wife like [female superhero here]”, girls are still icky…but if they grow up and would rather get engaged to their boyfriend like Northstar? Cool. Get a grip, One Million Moms…

welp.

Guys. GUYS. I cannot repeat this enough: this argument is laughable and irrelevant to modern Christians.

All the examples of ridiculous things from the Bible are from Leviticus, the Old Testament, which according to Christianity, those laws became invalid when Jesus died for their sins, blah blah blah.

Homosexuality is also banned in Leviticus, but it is also condemned by Paul in the New Testament (ie, the only part of the Bible other than the Ten Commandments that are still considered valid laws and rules to live by)…in verses listing a bunch of sins that include “sodomy” among them. Now, if you want an actual argument, you could go with some people who claim that the Bible’s translation of sodomy doesn’t actually refer to what most people think of as gay relationships, but that’s not the point here.

The point is that if you equate ridiculous Levitical laws with Christian’s condemning of homosexuality, instead of arguing against passages from the New Testament, they will not take you seriously.

…*sigh* Tumblr sucks and all the people will keep reblogging this and not read my comments. But I am just putting this out there every time I see a new one pop up, because I do think it’s important that we combat ignorant and bigoted opinions, but we need to make sure our arguments are ones that actually have a chance of working. Which I haven’t actually figured out what that would be yet. Religion is a tough nut to crack, to say the least. But poking fun at laws they don’t even take seriously anymore? Is not it.

RIP Society of the Day: Ugg has launched an I Do! collection. Is nothing sacred?!

[huffpo]

Are…are those iridescent-rainbow white Uggs? Fascinating.

(I know people hate on these shoes, and yeah I guess they aren’t the “classiest” footwear around…but you know what, they’re warm and damn comfy.

brought to you by someone who hasn’t worn Uggs since she was a kid and they weren’t super popular yet, but doesn’t think they deserve to be hated on so much

Crocs, though, Crocs are hideous)
