womenscollegeproblems:
The lack of enthusiasm for Women’s colleges from students of Women’s colleges. Women’s institutions were founded to instill a sense of solidarity, agency and independence within a subordinated gender. Please do not succumb to the stereotypes that a patriarchal mass has put upon our schools, instead, work to rejuvenate the initial purpose of our Institutions.
Yes yes...
I know so many people who are engaged / with child / married.
Can’t handle it. STOP.
Get out of my life.

Totally agree with this. Meyer doesn’t actually depict the sex scene itself, and can you imagine if she had? “Edward’s hands on my throat almost choked out my breath,” “his grip on my wrists almost made me cry as I looked...
I am a feminist, but I don't call myself one.

At least if I introduce myself as an equalist or a hungry virgin I’m more likely to be met with “so… what’s that?” than “but… you’re a...

When you get down to it, Earth
has our own great ranges
of feeling - Rocky, Smoky, Blue-
and a heart that can melt stones.
The still pools fill with sky,
as if aloof, and we have eyes
for all of this - and more for Earth’s
reminding moon. We too are ruled

rocked and lent a ight. We run
our clocks on wheels, our trains
on time. But all...
