In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29. [Wiki]

Awesome women in history.

Isn’t it humbling to write hundreds and hundreds of words about sexism and gender and entitlement and then remember that “Flight of the Conchords” nailed the whole displacement-of-responsibility and nice-guy rage things in, like, four sentences?

Alice is 4’6?!? I knew she was tiny, but whoa! As a short person myself I feel proud.

alice was only 7 years old

this is cool for at least 7 different reasons

the only one i’m the same height as is aurora.

Wow, I’m the same height as a lot of characters! Sweet!

too bad these aren’t the park heights. i’d be the same size as so many princesses!

ETA: omg shaun and i have the same height difference as rapunzel and flynn according to this X)

So Esmerelda is the only female over 5’7” in the animated world?  Why are all of these women so fucking short?

ALL OF THESE WOMEN ARE TALLER THAN ME.
Everyone on this list who has hit puberty is taller than me. 5’7 is pretty tall, I think.

Sorry, I get mild rage over the fact that 5’7” seems to be part of female perfection when I’m 6ft in bare feet.

You know there’s something in Hollywood called The Munchkin List which is the term for actresses 5’7” and under, these are the women who play love interests the most because a lot of major stars are under 6ft so they need shorter actresses to make them look “manly”.

tl;dr: You aren’t short, I just think this unspoken agreement on 5’7” is strange.

Same height as Merida, Chel, Snow White, Rapunzel, and MULAN! My favorite of all time!!

You know what? No. No, I do not think that girl is as beautiful as the woman on the right. And before you social justice bloggers come stampeding into my askbox, wondering how I could be such a heartless, bitch- hear me out.

The girl on the left isn’t beautiful. The girl on the left does not have flawless skin, or blonde hair, or baby-blue eyes or a pair of double-d’s. What she is, however, is sick. And telling her that she’s beautiful as an attempt to comfort her? Is just plain cruel. 

You’re telling her that she’s only redeemable when she’s beautiful. You don’t give a damn about her illness, no. You just want to sleep at night, thinking what a great person you are for lying to a little girl. Do you think that girl believes she is truly, in the eyes of society, beautiful? She doesn’t. And I dare someone to look me in the eyes and say she’s wrong. We all know she’s not beautiful, but we tell her otherwise, tell ourselves otherwise because we feel guilty and we think that, by “saving” this poor, ill child with false claims of beauty, we are better people because of it. 

That girl is beautiful because she is fighting. She’s beautiful because she isn’t beautiful, not in all the physical ways we obsess over. She’s beautiful because of her personality- and that is why her’s is a life worth living.

Not because some stranger on the internet lied, and told her she’s “beautiful”.

oh my god thank you
