“I am upset that the feminist conversation on birth control consistently neglects to consider the insidious politics and influence of the pharmaceutical industry on the perception of synthetic hormones, specifically the long term and far reaching consequences on fertility, the municipal water supply, and the profiteering that comes with marketing unnecessary medication to women who are taught to believe that taking an industrially manufactured chemical substance is the de facto way to express her sexuality safely and responsibly, or to take control of her reproductive system and life. I think there are many parallels to many other issues - sustainable vs industrial agriculture being the most obvious one.” — Angeline Gragasin
“We almost expect women athletes to not be classically beautiful or feminine, and therefore we’re not surprised to learn they’re gay. Male professional athletes, by contrast, are thought to be our most masculine specimens. So when they come out as gay, it seems they’re playing against type. Even more than with femininity, masculinity and heterosexuality are widely perceived to be linked. For all the progress that’s been made, there’s still a perception that the bullied gay kid is spending his after-school hours curating a Lana Del Rey Tumblr, not practicing with the varsity basketball team. The bullied teen lesbian? She’s the one on the court.” — On Jason Collins, Brittney Griner, and the need to decouple gender and sexuality - NYmag.com / The Cut (via annfriedman)
