01012012:

John’s in an office building - Lestrade’s called him over. Some sort of murder, and… well, it seems like something’s happened and they’d like him to come take a look. John’s fairly sure that they’re just hoping Sherlock has rubbed off on him and that he’ll be able to solve the crime with no problems. John doubts it’s going to work like that.

He does wonder why Lestrade calls. It’s the first time, really, in a couple of months. He hears a strain in Lestrade’s voice, but passes it off as stress. The man must really be working hard to even call John in. So he goes, of course, since they’re friends and he really needs a distraction right now. Surgery is so very dull and life is so very Sherlock-less. So what is he to do but go?

That’s how he got here. But that’s not important. The important thing is that there is a painfully familiar silhouette. John thinks, ‘This is it, I’ve finally gone mad.’ Except he hasn’t. He approaches slowly, licks his lips once. Somehow his mouth has gone completely dry. The figure in front of him seems slimmer than before (if that was even possible), but the unruly mess of curls is still there. The man in front of him turns around, confronting him with that same hawkish gaze. Almost simultaneously, the name that was forming dies on John’s lips.

Sherlock?

Here is the thing, okay? Coming into a feminist conversation with, “Have you considered that sometimes women acquire free drinks at bars?” is like walking into graduate school during Philosophy finals and saying, “Have you considered that the color blue that I see may not be the color blue that you see?”

Imagine you are the guy who just walked into that Philosophy class and laid that shit down. Imagine the class full of students who have worked very hard and committed themselves and sacrificed to be here, students who have spent several years of their lives learning about this subject. Imagine now their feelings when you go to the head of the classroom with a smirk on your face and demand the professor give you an A for effort. Imagine now that they think you are a douchebag asshole, because they do, and because you are. You are a douchebag asshole because you are obviously so self-centered, arrogant, and completely ignorant of the world around you, that you thought you could walk into a high-level course with no background and no work and say something profoundly simplistic and totally unrelated and also everybody should congratulate you for having done this thing, so brave, so provocative.
[….]
You are not asking us a real question. You are simply illustrating, for all to see, your own ignorance. You are saying, “I have not considered the implications of the question I have just asked. I have not taken the time nor effort nor commitment to sit down and ask myself this question. Instead, I have come into your philosophy classroom/office/feminist blog and shat out my question with a smirk, because I believe that my two seconds of thought are worth more than your long-term analysis, because I believe I am worth more.”

Fugivitus: A few things to consider when you find a feminist blog (via absolutely-spiffing)

Exactly! This can also be applied to conversations other things as well(racism, trans* issues, etc.) Usually, the person asked has already lived (or living) the experience that you’re asking about.

White people say [“It’s not fair, if white people can’t say n*gger, black people shouldn’t either”]. And yet, why do I never hear: “It’s not fair, if white people make more just because their skin color, shouldn’t Black people receive equal pay too?” “It’s not fair, if men own 99% of the world, shouldn’t women get property too?” “It’s not fair, if Black people get pulled over dwb, shouldn’t white people get pulled over for no reason too?” “It’s not fair, if white people can breath around the cops without getting shot, shouldn’t people of color be able to as well?” I don’t really hear anything along those lines by people who cry it’s not fair that they can’t say a historically scarring word while some black people still use the term. Never heard them say anything like that. So they can kiss ass and shut the fuck up.

I am not your daughter, she thought. I am Sansa Stark, Lord Eddard’s daughter and Lady Catelyn’s, the blood of Winterfell. She did not say it, though.
