Why is it such a crime to give women just as much of our time, energy, and money as we do to men? I personally make it a point now to support female-centric literature, music, movies, arts in general, etc.

There is nothing wrong at all with supporting our sisters.

There is nothing…

Since I was very young, I have heard boys say countless of times that they did not want to watch/read something because there were too many girls. J.K. Rowling even had to hide the fact that she was female, because it was feared boys would otherwise not buy Harry Potter.

But now I’ve heard grumbling when a main character (like Katniss) is female. Seriously? That’s what they think is not fair?

So yeah, I don’t really care about it that 10% of the media is not catering enough to men. They still have the other 90%. And I will support that 10% and hope that helps it becoming 20%.

Here are some awesome and empowering quotes from several very strong female celebrities. 

And Kristen Stewart.

No, you know what? Fuck you.

Let me tell you about Kristen Stewart.

Let’s talk about how she’s the centerpiece of one of the most inexplicably popular misogynistic pieces of film shit and somehow gets blamed for it sucking, despite the fact that, hey, the books were actually worse. For those who were lucky enough to escape reading the actual books, her apparent lack of emotion is 100% accurate to Bella’s character, because Bella is in fact not a character but a blank white wall for fourteen-year-old girls to project themselves onto. Robert Pattinson is not the only one in the cast who hates Twilight, thank you.

Let’s talk about how she got crucified in the media for having an affair with a married man, when that man was her director. And let’s remember that she was called all manner of things for “ruining her relationship with RPattz” when she wasn’t even engaged to the dude, let alone married with kids. But oh no, she gets called a slut because she’s Kristen Stewart, she gets her career fucked because she’s Kristen Stewart, and the dude gets off scott free.

Let’s talk about how she is incredibly shy and anxious (rather, incidentally, like Chris Evans) but does film anyway, because she’s just that awesome.

Fuck your noise. She’s not the best actor in the world but she sure as hell doesn’t deserve that kind of shit.

I HAD TO MAKE A GIF BECAUSE I COULDN’T FIND ONEAM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THISI JUST

You now realize that the reason that the angels didn’t get her here is because THE CAMERA COUNTED AS SOMEONE WATCHING THEM.

And the only time the angels moved was when sally blocked them from the view of the camera

This episode breaks the fourth wall in more ways than one.  This shows that even the audience can be part of a Doctor Who episode.  Whovians, you’ve always wanted to be in an episode.  ”Blink” was the first.  You also hear the Doctor talking to you about the statues.  The “Don’t Blink” speech we know by heart.  And…what about the angel in the window?  If Sally wasn’t looking at that one, then why didn’t it move?
Because we were watching it.

JKR: I was having a girly chat with Emma in her dressing room about three or four years ago and she said to me “I think I’m gonna end up having to kiss Rupert, aren’t I?” And I said “Well if I write it the way I’m planning to write it, you’ll end up having to kiss both of them.” And she was mortified and rolled off the sofa laughing. EMMA: I was only fourteen! And the idea was absolutely horrific! [x]

EMMA: I was only fourteen! And the idea was absolutely horrific! [x]

In the moments before she dies, a woman whose hair used to be bright ginger is visited by a man in a bowtie. She does not know who he is and thinks about giving him a piece of her mind till he moves forward and presses his fingertips to her temple. Memories flood her mind. People and planets and places she had saved alongside a long streak of nothing rush back to her. She remembers being the most important woman in creation. Then with a smile on her face Donna Noble closes her eyes and sleeps forevermore. The Doctor simply looks on with tears in his eyes as his best friend leaves this world with the only gift he could give her.
