My Tumblr

Hey guys! VidiaPhoenix here. Just thought I'd let you know what I'd be posting.

I will mainly be posting articles about certain media and my thoughts about them. It could be a character analysis, a show theory or thoughts on the plots etc.

Sometimes I might also post pictures or gifs from my favorite shows.

So, I hope you all enjoy my tumblr!

Rejection is rough, no matter how you slice it. But it's also an inescapable fact of life, and our ability to deal with failure and rejection has a hand in determining how successful and happy we are.

When you have the "avoid getting raped" conversation with your daughter, it is difficult, as you don't want to imagine her as a victim. The idea of having the "don't rape" conversation with your son is more difficult as you don't ever want to imagine him as a perpetrator. Do it anyway.

An interesting perspective on educating children about the definition of rape and how it should be taught. I don't think I completely agree with everything, but I do think society takes a very one-sided and stigmatized approach to dealing with the root causes of rape and objectification, in BOTH genders.
