Anonymous asked: im gonna have to unfollow some feminist blogs. all this sexism and rape culture shit is depressing.
karmean asked: If someone is considerably physically weaker than me (no matter what gender they are/identify as) and they hit me, I am not going to deck them back because I know it's going to cause considerable more damage than they would have put on me. Instead, I might pin them or just get then down in general.
Anonymous asked: How do you get the 'reply' message to show up on your posts that don't have a ? mark at the end? I would love to know how to do that! Thanks.
generalbriefing asked: RE the Obama post: he can't be perfect all the time. It would freak the Right out. Personally, I think he purposefully pulls bonehead moves to piss off the left to prove he's not Jesus, lol

I will sacrifice abstinence.
Instead of what anti-choicers want from me, I will have as much sex as a damned well please. If nothing else, it will show them how wrong they are. Since anti-choicers wish abstinence on everyone, I will sacrifice abstinence until anti-choice bigotry ends.
Just so y’all know about my ~*~noble sacrifice~*~

They become the literal epitome of anti-choice.
And I just sorta side-eye and go “how many of you fuckers wouldn’t be alive today if your parents only fucked when they were ready?”
Personally, I think we need to flip the script on this. Every anti-choicer that has sex or truly thinks sex is for procreation only needs to go out and adopt a child every time they...

A B.C. man who performed a botched circumcision on his four-year-old son on the kitchen floor of his home has lost an appeal of his conviction and been found guilty of a more serious charge.
The B.C. Court of Appeal has stayed the man’s conviction for criminal negligence causing bodily harm and convicted him of aggravated assault.

I don’t think that if you’re under 18, you should have sex.
I think there is a lot of responsibility in having sex, between the emotional aspects, the pregnancy issues, and sexually transmitted diseases.
I think that some teenagers have the ability to handle it, and most don’t. Most of the teenagers I have ever met have been so horribly uneducated...

You are NOT: Not a racist, not sexist, not discriminatory JUST for CALLING yourself a “Liberal”. You...

I am sick and tired of hearing spoiled little white girls saying they aren’t interested in feminism or don’t see the point in it. You clearly have no idea what feminism has done for you because you take all of the things its given you for granted. Feminism gave white Western women rights now seen as so basic we don’t even pay attention to them, and you say you don’t care about...

Anonymous asked: Google really bothers me. You know how in search results, they tend to give you synonyms for words along with the word you searched for? Well, when I searched for "feminist t-shirts" I get women's t-shirts and when I search for stuff on "rape scenes in hollywood" (for research on sexualization of rape in cinema) I get "sex scenes." Also, try typing in "why...

feministbecky:
To find people who are seemingly progressive, but still harbor and play out oppressive ideas and acts. LGBTQ members and allies who call bisexual people greedy, democrats who are sexist, liberal college professors who teach sexist material, family members (who are as liberal as they come) expressing racist, sexist, and sizeist sentiments.
One of the hardest lessons I have had to...
Anonymous asked: How about you just state that violence is wrong? How about that? Try, for a change, not being sexist and just treating human beings as humans and not defining them by stereotypes? You claim to be a feminist, but you miss the mark too often. Try harder.

Anonymous asked: I get that men are physically stronger and as such they *generally* have more of an advantage. HOWEVER as a woman I believe that if you dare to put your hand on someone else in violence be they man or woman you had BETTER not cry victim when they strike you back. Period. Not saying you believe this but I don't think women get a free pass to be violent just because they're typically...
anetterose asked: I understand your viewpoint in saying that it's despicable for cismen to attack ciswomen because they're usually stronger but I don't think it's ANYMORE despicable. Violence is intolerable and when any human being hit another human being, it's not okay. Regardless of any circumstances.
Anonymous asked: wouldnt that theory, that women are not as strong as men, in itself be discriminatory/sexist?
Anonymous asked: I've only read a small amount of your posts, but I already seriously admire you for talking about your abortion on your blog. Not a lot of women who have had one do that and I totally understand why they don't, but I kind of cheer when I see someone being unapologetic about having an experience that so many women have, but hardly anyone mentions.
Anonymous asked: If a girl keeps pushing and shoving and slapping and throwing punches at a guy, is it okay if he ends up hitting her back? We shouldn't provoke people like that, right? Could he press charges?
