Bisexuals are not the exception; they are the norm! Study after study has shown this to be the case. How much more evidence do we need?
If we really want a powerful, cohesive, empowering queer community, then every single individual who cares about sexual freedom and self-determination — regardless of how they personally identify — has an obligation to speak out against the pernicious biphobia that continues to distort our science and our politics. Integrity demands no less.

Found out one of our patients is a Whovian & Potterhead today. She goes, “I knew I liked you for some reason.” and I totally knew I liked her for some reason too. She’s awesome. She’s a librarian, can we be friends and play make-believe togethers now?

“Although not a pessimist or a misanthrope, there are days when contact with any human being makes me physically ill. I am oppressed at such times and in such periods by what was known among the Romantics as world-weariness. I feel a total stranger to life.
Solitude is the only relief. The dream-world is then the great reality; the real world an illusion. I go to my library and live with the great abstract thinkers—Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Walter Pater.”

From “The Hamlet-Like Nature of Charlie Chaplin”, New York Times, December 12, 1920.

I want to submit this ad because it says “Fathers will always be men”. I posted it on my blog with this explanation : “I hate this ad. It’s basically saying “Yes, men can be fathers BUT WAIT WAIT WAIT THEY ARE MEN ABOVE ALL DON’T FORGET IT! WE’RE MEN OKAY ?! WE’RE MEEEEEEEN !”
Damnit, it’s only been half of a century since men begun to accept their roles of fathers, and society is already scared that we would forget their manhood.
Women can be mothers above all, that’s okay, but oh wait, fathers are men, don’t forget that.
So fuck you Renault, fuck you.”
I don’t know if you’ll agree, but that’s my opinion.
Not only that but it makes it look like fatherhood is some sort of daily/weekly chore. They have to be good for that bit of time with the kid, but then they pass it back off to the mother, who’s job it is, obviously, to care for the child the rest of the time while they’re off at manly sporting events or hunting buffalo or something. What this commercial is saying is not that Men will always be Men, but that Women will always be Mothers and it is THEIR responsibility, not the Men’s to care for children. And these men are presented as the ideal husband and male friends, but they, being Men, only owe a fraction of their attention and effort to their families.
I’m sure some of you will not agree but I feel the editing was very telling in this commercial. The men get plenty of screen time, of course, being the subject of the commercial, you get plenty of time to identify each of their faces and to notice that there’s a grown man sitting in the middle of a three seat carbench and get why they are probably whispering (they think they’re clever…obvs.) There are merely quick cuts to the women. The barest amount necessary to acknowledge their existence and role in this tiny narrative. They are blank, and they are bare as characters. Just a laugh and someone to grab the kid so the Fathers can go be what they are above all, Men.
I know people are going to say, “Well they’re not saying that Mothers aren’t above all Women, they’re just focusing on the Men’s story.” But how hard would it have been to have filled out the story just a teensy bit more and have the women coming FROM something like Softball Team, or some fun activity of their own to take over so that the Men can go have fun too. There’s nothing sexist about sharing responsibility or the idea of a man being a legitimate homemaker/child raiser. (Or men going SOMEWHERE besides a freaking football game! I mean really!)
