women

Tumblr is generally the place where people get exhaustive about the annoying types of characters they see over and over again in books, tv and movies. Movies are a business and we tend to not question repetition, like these very limited types of movie posters. For some, these characters are so unrealistic that it takes away from the story.

Apparently by trying to erase the long and successful reign of this pharaoh, using her stuff as wall filler and throwing all her junk in a dump, they accidentally ended up preserving it. Pretty neat. Tumblr reviews some wild corners of history, like this thread that actually makes history fun.

This Tumblr thread explores the ways that men get objectified by society and throughout the media. Additionally, it covers the whole part about how bodybuilding culture can be a load of BS. Good stuff. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for women to share all the various myths that they have circulating about them, that they are just plain old tired of hearing about. They're tired of hearing about how all "women are the same." Come on guys. Really just being your own worst enemies at this point.
