Assange had no charges against him by any institution, but was still imprisoned in solitary confinement (an established form of torture). If you object to Moore bailing Assange out, you object to someone spending money to end the torture of someone who hasn’t even been charged with a crime. (jonathan-cunningham)

Let's rename Wikileaks Rapegate into:
“The day we realized that liberal men don’t give a fuck about us.”
Add all of the requisite disclaimers and caveats so I don’t have to handhold the men who will reblog this and assure us extra-hard that they are so not one of those men. (jgh-2)
Yo but it’s true. I just think that raising government accountability (somehow. Don’t ask me how the actual Wikileaks organization and...

Come on, Sweden. “Even” a “low level” of “coercion” gets you hit up with a rape charge? WTF I thought you guys were Socialists or something.

The Patriarchy started following you.
Sometimes it occurs to me that searching for ‘patriarchy’ and then following all the people writing about patriarchy might actually be the best part of The Patriarchy (qua tumblr).

This link will take you to tons of letters that this organization has recieved, by feminist men. Definitly uplifting to read testimonies from men who are on board :)
Just one example
I am pro-feminist because women’s liberation is necessary if we are to build a just world free from sexism, racism and homophobia. I am pro-feminist because women are partners in the struggle to end ...
Feminists fighting to change the world →
In 1902, Winifred Harper Cooley imagined a 21st century without sweatshops or slums. Cooley was a US feminist, once described as a radiant woman “in flowing, graceful robes”, and in this new world, she explained, no one would be tramping the streets without a home, or be unemployed. The world’s labour would be shared so that each person only worked five hours a day. Society would be fair, just...
“When I am onstage, I am every woman’s outrage about where they put us.”
– Joan Rivers, in New York magazine. (via communicatrix)
This doesn’t even make any sense. More like, “I *drink* every woman’s outrage about where they put us.”
“Here’s one,” she says. “If people ask, you can give them this...”
– Possible reason for lesbianism.

The Week In Patriarchy 2 →
In case you missed it, here’s the second Week In Patriarchy, on Tiger Beatdown. Expect more posts on The Patriarchy’s official Tumblr web presence, too.
Seems fitting: Longest day of the year is such a phallic notion.

bmichael:
Fuck all you sports bloggers who are calling out Ben Roethlisberger. Especially you, Deadspin: The blog that regularly rewards its readers for submitting stories of attempted date rape. The blog vacillates wildly between upbraiding the media for covering a sex scandal and, you know, generating hundreds of thousands of pageviews by covering the selfsame sex scandal. It’s the blog...

Man, Zizek is so right. I mean, it’s basically proven a fortieri that communism is the way to go, right? I just returned from the USSR, and let me tell you, whooo boy, life is good, there.

I hear the sexy teens of today engage in a practice known as "sexting!" It is like texting, but... SEXIER, is my understanding? Anyway, this seems like a great way to win the respect and affection of those around me. My questions are threefold: (1) Since sexting is so hip and friendly, do I need an iPhone to do it? (2) Is there an app for that? (#)...

But I think usually it’s not that people disagree that exercise is important and that weight can be controlled to a degree, it’s just that people insist on equating healthy weight with thinness and some people will just never, ever, ever be thin. (therealestsocksinthegame)

If we’re not going to talk about how men are or aren’t justified in talking (and talking and talking) about their dicks, then what are we going to talk about?

Hell’s must be freezing over. You’re finally admitting your allegiance to the patriarchy?

– Yes. The precise quote, which is a matter of public record, is “If clarification is the difference between suggesting someone is racist or empathizing with them, don’t open your mouth.”
So different! It is like they are in two different languages, really. In my language, we have a term called...
