The Purity Myth.
If you’re a female this should concern and frighten you in a big way.
I love this. I’m really sick of hearing people shaming girls for being “impure”. Accepting and being open (or not open) about yourself sexually is nothing to be ashamed of and should never be looked at that way, especially when it comes to females. Granted, I agree that sex shouldn’t be a part of anyone’s life when they’re in a general age range because in my opinion, it should come with a certain maturity level. But the point is, this whole purity complex needs to stop being hammered into girls’ heads the minute they come out of the womb. The world is naturally sexual; that shouldn’t have to change. But this is a media-ruled society, and it really lies in the media to stop encouraging ignorance as if it’s something to be proud of and start recognizing women for more than their bodies.
This is terrifying and amazing. It blows my mind that men seem to be the loudest voices condemning feminism and promoting “purity”. That should really sound an alarm for people.
Wow. Hahahaha. No. Please everyone watch this. I really think I need to somehow get this and watch it.

Sometimes, when all my friends from back home meet up, I realise how far away I moved. My two best friends, my boyfriend, his brother and their friends all live within an hour of each other, whereas it costs me in between £20-£60 to undertake the 5 hour train journey back. I miss having people I’d know for years within walking distance of my house.
I do love my uni though.
Ah man.
As defined by urban dictionary, the friendzone is…
“When you are expected to support a girl you really like while she searches for a smarter, richer, and more handsome boyfriend. There is little you can do without feeling like a dick. All in all, one of…

I cannot get over Achilles’ face in this painting. Holy shit.
He’s totally like: “Oh god, mom, put a fucking shirt on, I mean, what are you even doing? Can’t you see I’m busy lamenting the death of my boyfriend? Like I really need to see your tits at a time like this— YOU’RE SO EMBARRASSING MOM GAWD.”
And the rest of the Greeks are jazz-handsing in the background. They’re all ‘WOAH LOOK AT THAT TOTALLY WICKED SET OF TITS— I MEAN ARMOUR. WOAH’
