have you ever met someone who was so cute that it physically hurt

This tumblr user here: Luna Blackcrest. Not gonna lie if I could kidnap her and her fiancee and just have them around so when I woke up in the morning and saw them, I would be happy, because I always smile when I see them because they are too adorable. Adorable cosplay, adorable COUPLES COSPLAY, just… god too perfect!

I do not understand this “male privilege" bullshit.
What. Fucking. Privileges. Do. Men. Have.???????
Name them. I swear, I challenge you to name these “male privileges" and be able to prove them.
Come on, I fucking dare you.
Name them!
Oh boy. Well, as a man, I’ll tell you my male privilege.
My odds of being hired for a job, when competing against female applicants, are probably skewed in my favor. The more prestigious the job, the larger the odds are skewed.
I can be confident in the fact that my co-workers won’t think that I was hired/promoted because of my sex - despite the fact that it’s probably true.
If I ever am promoted when a woman of my peers is better suited for the job, it is because of my sex.
If i ever fail at my job or career, it won’t be seen as a blacklist against my sex’s capabilities.
I am far less likely to face sexual harassment than my female peers.
If I do the same task as a woman, and if the measurement is at all subjective, chances are people will think I did a better job.
If I am a teen or an adult, and I stay out of prison, my odds of getting raped are relatively low.
On average, I’m taught that walking alone after dark by myself is less than dangerous than it is for my female peers.
If I choose not to have children, my masculinity will not be questioned.
If I do have children but I do not provide primary care for them, my masculinity will not be questioned.
If I have children and I do care for them, I’ll be praised even if my care is only marginally competent.
If I have children and a career, no one will think I’m selfish for not staying at home.
If I seek political office, my relationship with my children or who I deem to take care of them will more often not be scrutinized by the press.
My elected representatives are mostly people of my own sex. The more prestigious the position, the more this is true.
When i seek out “the person in charge", it is likely that they will be someone of my own sex. The higher the position, the more often this is true.
As a child, chances are I am encouraged to be more active and outgoing than my sisters.
As a child, I could choose from an almost infinite variety of children’s media featuring positive, active, non-stereotyped heroes of my own sex. I never had to look for it; male protagonists were (and are) the default.
As a child, chances are I got more teacher attention than girls who raised their hands just as often.
If my day, week or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether or not it has sexist overtones. (Nobody’s going to ask if I’m upset because I’m menstruating.)
I can turn on the television or glance at the front page of the newspaper and see people of my own sex widely represented.
If I’m careless with my financial affairs it won’t be attributed to my sex.
If I’m careless with my driving it won’t be attributed to my sex.
I can speak in public to a large group without putting my sex on trial.
Even if I sleep with a lot of women, there is little to no chance that I will be seriously labeled a “slut,” nor is there any male counterpart to “slut-bashing.”
I do not have to worry about the message my wardrobe sends about my sexual availability.
My clothing is typically less expensive and better-constructed than women’s clothing for the same social status. While I have fewer options, my clothes will probably fit better than a woman’s without tailoring.
The grooming regimen expected of me is relatively cheap and consumes little time.
If I buy a new car, chances are I’ll be offered a better price than a woman buying the same car. The same goes for other expensive merchandise.
If I’m not conventionally attractive, the disadvantages are relatively small and easy to ignore.
I can be loud with no fear of being called a shrew. I can be aggressive with no fear of being called a bitch.
I can ask for legal protection from violence that happens mostly to men without being seen as a selfish special interest, since that kind of violence is called “crime” and is a general social concern. (Violence that happens mostly to women is usually called “domestic violence” or “acquaintance rape,” and is seen as a special interest issue.)
I can be confident that the ordinary language of day-to-day existence will always include my sex. “All men are created equal,” mailman, chairman, freshman, he.
My ability to make important decisions and my capability in general will never be questioned depending on what time of the month it is.
I will never be expected to change my name upon marriage or questioned if I don’t change my name.
The decision to hire me will not be based on assumptions about whether or not I might choose to have a family sometime soon.
Every major religion in the world is led primarily by people of my own sex. Even God, in most major religions, is pictured as male.
Most major religions argue that I should be the head of my household, while my wife and children should be subservient to me.
If I have a wife or live-in girlfriend, chances are we’ll divide up household chores so that she does most of the labor, and in particular the most repetitive and unrewarding tasks.
If I have children with my girlfriend or wife, I can expect her to do most of the basic childcare such as changing diapers and feeding.
If I have children with my wife or girlfriend, and it turns out that one of us needs to make career sacrifices to raise the kids, chances are we’ll both assume the career sacrificed should be hers.
Assuming I am heterosexual, magazines, billboards, television, movies, pornography, and virtually all of media is filled with images of scantily-clad women intended to appeal to me sexually. Such images of men exist, but are rarer.
In general, I am under much less pressure to be thin than my female counterparts are. If I am over-weight, I probably suffer fewer social and economic consequences for being fat than over-weight women do.
If I am heterosexual, it’s incredibly unlikely that I’ll ever be beaten up by a spouse or lover.
Complete strangers generally do not walk up to me on the street and tell me to “smile.”
Sexual harassment on the street virtually never happens to me. I do not need to plot my movements through public space in order to avoid being sexually harassed, or to mitigate sexual harassment.
On average, I am not interrupted by women as often as women are interrupted by men.
On average, I will have the privilege of not knowing about my male privilege.
And lastly, I am taken as a more credible feminist than my female peers, despite the fact that the feminist movement is not liberating to my sex.
This is male privilege.

While I love the entire list, I think number 47 is the one I love the most, because it’s true. I feel like as a black plus sized woman I’m immediately told what obstacles are in my way, by family, friends, society, everyone. And while my loved ones will encourage me to be me, as a kid I already knew that there would be things in my way.

Interestingly enough, I knew it was mostly because of my race. I think that’s what happens when you’re black. There’s nothing wrong with that, there’s nothing wrong with your family talking to you about race and how people may look at you and assume things. But honestly, I didn’t have a clear picture of female obstacles until college. I remember when I decided to take Women’s Studies the response wasn’t, “Oh that’s cool,” and it wasn’t even, “Ugh you’re just going to hate men,” it was, “Why aren’t you taking African American Studies?” It’s not that I don’t think it’s important, but I had spent 18 years learning about African American things. I grew up in Chicago, it was all around me, whether it was because it was February, or because my family was talking to me, or hell because a new movie came out about it. There’s more aspects to me than “black” and if Black History is important because of who I am, Women’s Studies should be important too. But to some people I was betraying my race because I chose Women’s Studies.

And don’t get me started on when I took Queer Studies for a semester.

The sad thing about things like “Queer Studies” or being plus sized is that since these are things that people feel you can change, some people tell you about the hardships of it to discourage you. "It’s not easy being gay you’ll be this and this and this,“ or, "You should lose weight because of this and this and this.” It’s sort of the reverse of privilege, it’s a, “Get ready for the rest of your life,” which, on the one hand, is true, but on the other hand you should remember to be positive. Teach people to love who they are instead of trying to change it.

And that’s why number 47 is my favorite on this list, because privilege means that you had no idea that this is what people go through. You may be aware of racism or sexism or homophobia in a large sense, but not on this personal level, where you know immediately when you walk into a place to be on guard in case if you meet that one asshole, or when people in your own minority group are judging you over something so silly: picking college courses, not going to the get togethers because you have nothing in common with anyone there because you watch anime and write fanfiction, things like that.
