( No Title )
Today is Dr. Seuss’s birthday, so the people at storytime are reading the kids Rape Culture 101: How Refusing to Accept a No Is Eventually a Good Thing, aka Green Eggs and Ham.
Bitch, are you motherfucking serious?
Have you ever spent even two minutes with an actual child? The book is about encouraging children to try new things, such as food they dismiss offhand because “It looks yucky”. Feed a child. Feed a child just once. I’ve got a niece and three nephews, and I’ve babysat for somewhere around 12+ kids of varying ages. Just try to get them to eat something new. Maybe you’ll actually learn why this book exists in the first place. IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT MOTHERFUCKING FOOD, AND YOU HAVE SOMEHOW WARPED IT TO BE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING IMAGINARY BOOGEYMAN, AND YET YOU PROBABLY SIT AND WONDER WHY ANTI-FEMINISM BLOGS EXIST.
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE IS WHY. You scream that “rape culture” is “everywhere”–NO IT FUCKING ISN’T.
You’re just projecting it onto every goddamn thing you see.THIS IS WHY NO ONE NEEDS TODAY’S “FEMINISM”. THIS POST MAKES ME COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY EMBARRASSED TO BE A WOMAN, AND EVEN MORE EMBARRASSED TO HAVE EVER CONSIDERED MYSELF A FEMINIST.
I try to avoid blatant insults as much as possible, but you are a fucking moron, and you should immediately place yourself in the nearest unlit closet, close the door, and not leave until you understand what the fuck you did wrong. Before you do so, however, get some goddamn education. This post is a fucking laughingstock, and you should be absolutely fucking ashamed of yourself.
Theodore Geisel had rocks thrown at him as a child for his family being German immigrants during WWI. He pursued his love of art in spite of being told by his teachers that he had no talent. He used a pseudonym in college in order to continue creating comics for his college paper after he was kicked off for being caught in his dorm with a pint of gin during Prohibition (he used his mother’s maiden name, Seuss–hence half of the story of where he got his pen name). He worked for the animation department of the US Army, and won an Academy award in 1947 for a documentary about WWII. He created revolutionary children’s books that touched upon topics that no other authors of his era would dare approach (ecology, the arms race, adopted parenting, fascism, racism), and this ignorant little shit uses his birthday to call him a fuckin’ rapist.
Un-fucking-believable.
