It Makes Me Sad

It makes me sad that the majority of search terms used to come to this site are related to my post about my own personal experience with rape.

I could go into how pervasive rape culture is our everyday lives, but instead I’ll list just five of the many posts out there who word it so much better than I:

Rape Culture. My Culture. – Goodeye McWoowoo

“Roast Busters” ie let me tell you a rape joke – gintearsandcremebrulee

Fuck off, Bob Jones, and everyone else: stop reading the Herald – QoT

Persephone Syndrome – Maggie Mayhem

Risky Business – tallulahspankhead

Admitting Defeat

I just spent a fairly decent amount of time trying to update the owl header you see up there ↑↑↑

Unfortunately, it just wouldn’t resize smaller in a nice way.  I had saved it as a .PNG file (which I understand is the right file type for this kind of thing), but when reduced it seemed to lose a whole lot of pixels.

So I give up.  I’ll just share the image here instead.

Forgetting the Choice Aspect of the Feminism Ideology

Because no one in their right mind would choose to do sex work, would they?  I mean, they’ve obviously been brainwashed by the patriarchy.  Those who find empowerment through sex work are just lying to themselves.

Just because you wouldn’t choose to do sex work yourself, doesn’t mean anyone who does choose to do so is deluded.  Who are you to tell them what to do?  They have the choice to do so, and by trying to take it away, you are no better than the patriarchy you claim to be fighting against.

And a bingo card that seems to be particularly apt for this conversation (via Feminisnt.com):

Robot-Hugs

Where has the comic been all my life!? Why is it only coming to my attention now!? (According to the archives, it’s been around since Dec 2009.)

If you have an identify that comes under the giant umbrellas of “kink/queer/lgbt/poly/mentally ill/whatever,” this is definitely for you.

I came across the Body Policing Police (I can’t even remember where I saw the original link), and it was love at first sight.  Cativian just confirmed what I instantly knew.
