"Men have been expected to tell the truth about facts, not about feelings. They have not been expected to talk about feelings at all.
Yet even about facts they have continually lied.
We assume that politicians are without honor. We read their statements trying to crack the code. The scandals of their politics: not that men in high places lie, only that they do so with such indifference, so endlessly, still expecting to be believed. We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie…
Lying is done with words, and also with silence.

About Me
Autostraddle.com is my website. I made this tumblr in mid-2009 because we just can't get enough internet.
Autostraddle likes queers, photography, pretty girls and pure poetry. She has many talents, including jumping & tumbling. She also enjoys words, lesbians and girl-on-girl culture. She is best enjoyed with a balanced breakfast at Autostraddle.
Riese is responsible for everything here, more or less.
our favorite tumblr is fuck yeah autostraddle
We're also big fans of straddle gifs, hotties with autostraddle swag, camp autostraddle tumblr and autostraddle spam.
You used to be able to ask us questions on formspring, but formspring has been shut down as of March 31st, 2013. Sadness.
