“Male privilege is “I have a boyfriend” being the only thing that can actually stop someone from hitting on you because they respect another male-bodied person more than they respect your rejection/lack of interest.” —

The Sociological Cinema

There was actually research that was done that found that women who used an “I have a boyfriend/husband” excuse to reject unwanted sexual attention and harassment by their bosses were more likely to be left alone than those who used any other excuse (including “I’m not interested”)

nerdherdhelp asked: America, Botswana, Hungary, Hutt River, Russia, Zimbabwe?

Cool, thank you!

America (What is your favorite place to eat?): There aren’t a lot of places that I can go around here—there’s a vegan pizzeria that’s pretty good, when they get my order right. In my folks’ town, however, there’s a Persian place that’s amazing. I will most likely frequent it many times next month.
Botswana (Do you like to sing? Why or why not?): I don’t sing when I’m around other people, but when I’m by myself, I sing a lot. I wouldn’t consider myself good by any means though.
Hungary (Who is the person I trust most?): I have no idea. Probably my mom, because it seems as though whenever I don’t take her advice, she’ll inevitably turn out to be right. But, I mean, even then—it’s hard to trust a person implicitly. And it’s probably not very smart to do so, anyway.
Hutt River (What is the most memorable dream or nightmare you’ve ever had?): You mean besides the Steve Martin-Gilda Radner one? I don’t know; I tend to forget dreams pretty quickly. There was one I had when I was pretty young—my sister, grandmother and I were at this lake in the military base we used to live on, and I was standing by the side and I could see all these dead people under the water, trying to pull me under. And they got my grandmother and my sister and I ran away to a nearby airplane, and flew away. I generally try to forget dreams and nightmares, because they’re never very pleasant.
Russia (Have you ever suffered from low self-esteem? Do you still?): My self-esteem is non-existent. I basically consider myself a piece of shit that I have to put up with until I die.
Zimbabwe (Who is your favorite character from any folklore?): I don’t know if he counts, since he actually existed but is sort of a folk hero now, but probably Musashi Miyamoto, from Japanese folklore. And I always liked Ivan Tsarevich, from the Russian Firebird folk tale. Who else…I like Sir Lancelot. There was a time I was really into Arthurian legends and liked Lancelot the most.
