France bids adieu to the term 'mademoiselle' →
French women will no longer need to declare marital status on official forms after the government demanded the term “mademoiselle” be dropped. Solidarity Minister Roselyne Bachelot (pictured) said the move would “end a form of discrimination”.

Anonymous asked: Hello! My best friend told me that she had sex for the first time with her boyfriend and has had it a few times since. Expecting a fun conversation about sex, I asked her if he was any good at making her come. To my surprise and horror, she expressed surprise at learning women could orgasm and thought that sex was only fun for men. I didn't know how to respond and the convo ended abruptly....
Anonymous asked: i'm curious on what your opinion on this is. So here is my serious legitimate theory on cultural appropriation. As our world advances and continues to grow, population, country boarders ever changing, wars, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera... will we ever meet the precipice in culture where everything has been done and everything is an appropriation of someone else culture. So ergo cultural...
The "Spirit Animal" Post Has Been Taken Down
The term is still a form of cultural appropriation and should be avoided, but the specifics I included in the post were off. I genuinely do care about Indigenous culture and am upset at myself for this error. The mistake was definitely unintentional, but I acknowledge that the result was the same, and I apologize.
Lesson learned: Don’t trust everything you read online.

Daemon - The only one you’re appropriating is Pullman and by appropriating Pullman you’re upsetting no-one, save possibly the Pope.
Patronus - Wizards everywhere are more than willing to lend you this term and the geekiness is an added bonus. I just read that geeks are sexy, or so the Metro, so, there you go, a patronus is clearly your next ascribed accessory.

Anonymous asked: As a feminist, how do you feel about transpeople, or more specifically, transwomen (people who are born biologically male but identify as female)? Do you believe transwomen should be accepted in feminist communities even though they do not exactly have the same experiences as women who are not transgendered?
