Men are held to such low standards in relationships and it’s infuriating; just today I heard from my co-workers that ones husband never drove to come see her when they were doing long distance, and the other’s hasn’t mowed once in their 30+ years of marriage.
Like we like fun at lesbians moving fast in relationships, but that’s because women are socialized much differently than men, and those traits lead to healthier relationships. Though gender roles are fucking wack in general, you can’t deny that women are raise to be more understanding, expressive, and caring in general. My girlfriend drives 2 hours to come see me every weekend, and my friends boyfriend can barely make the 40 minute trip to come see her.
When women are in relationships with each other, they are more likely to talk about feelings, and go farther for their partners. Women do this in hetero relationships too, but it’s rarely reciprocated if they’re with a cis male.
I read an incredible essay about how gay marriage is incredibly beneficial to straight partners, because straight relationships always have a basis in inequality, due to societal gender divisions. Gay relationships show what it’s like to have a relationship without a gender based power imbalance.
Ladies, if you wouldn’t put up with it from a best friend, don’t let a boyfriend get away with it. Cultivate a society where men in relationships have to at least have basic decency; not only through your partners, but also through how you raise your sons.
I’m shamelessly rebloging myself because I think this is a very important concept that more people need to be introduced too; I hope this gains traction and shows people to think critically about how they are treated.
Donald Featherstone, creator of the plastic lawn flamingo, and his wife Nancy spent at least three decade of their 37 years of marriage wearing complete matching outfits made by Nancy herself.
They would race each other to their shared closet in the morning and the winner would get to pick the outfit for the day. (x)
He not only looked like the guy who invented the lawn flamingo, he acted like it.
Had to move back in
with my parents last November. Half a year later, I’m still stuck here and it’s incredibly stressful for everyone involved, so it’d be great if I could do some
commissions to regain some shred of human dignity while I (continue to) wait on job applications.
I will draw your Characters, be they human, anthro, aliens, etc. or Creatures. For more examples, see the rest of my finished art here. I will not draw NSFW (sexual or gory, nudity is fine) content, mechanical subjects (robots or vehicles) or backgrounds; solid colour,
gradient or transparent only, sorry.
Payment through Paypal invoices, I will have to ask for 30% of the payment
prior to starting work on the commission, and the remaining 70% upon its
completion.
My email is person064@gmail.comand I can also be contacted here on Tumblr, on Twitter, Artstation, or DeviantArt. Send me full details about your commission. Reference
images help, but I am willing to work from descriptions, too.
If you can’t afford (or don’t want) to commission me, reblogs also help! No pressure though.
