Gentlemen. This is what rape culture is like:
Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you bought it because you like the way it looks and you wanted to treat yourself. And then you get beaten and mugged and your Rolex is stolen. So you go to the police. Only, instead of investigating the crime, the police want to know why you were wearing a Rolex instead of a regular watch. Have you ever given a Rolex to anyone else? Is it possible you wanted to be mugged? Why didn’t you wear long sleeves to cover up the Rolex if you didn’t want to be mugged?
And then after that, everywhere you go, there are constant jokes about stealing your Rolex. People you don’t even know whistle at your Rolex and make jokes about cutting your hand off to get it. The media doesn’t help either; it portrays people who wear Rolexes as flamboyant assholes who secretly just want someone to come along and take that Rolex off their hands. When damn, all you wanted was to wear a nice watch without getting harassed for it. When you complain that you are starting to feel unsafe, people laugh you off and say that you are too uptight. Never mind you got violently attacked for the crime of wearing a friggin time piece.
Imagining all that? It sucks, doesn’t it.
Now imagine you could never take the Rolex off.

The great thing about transmisogynistic feminism is that it’s really easy to build a movement that attempts to reduce women to genitalia. There already is one! It’s called “patriarchy.”

holy crap. gimme. gimme. gimme.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK TO COME OUT! DECEMBER 2013.
How can I get my hands on this???
First I want to say that damn that is some good lookin’ cover art. Very nice.
I also sent the author the following question:
bisexual-books asks:
Hey Jacqueline, I’ve seen the cover art for your book Ascension going around (looks FAB by the way!) and in some posts it’s described as a lesbian novel and in some it’s called queer. Could you tell us a little bit more about the sexual orientation of your characters? I’m curious if it is something our readers would like.She responded with:tangledaxon said:
I never end up explicitly revealing the sexual orientation of any of the characters, but if you were to press them, I suspect Alana (the main character) would identify as lesbian, and her love interest, Tev, would identify as a queer woman.
Tev’s other partner, Helen/”Slip,” would identify as a bisexual or pansexual woman. Ovie (the chief engineer) wouldn’t want to identify as anything in particular, and Marre (the pilot) would find the question confusing.Sounds like an exciting book!

Today: Pinup model Bettie Page dies in L.A. at 85
Bettie Page, the 1950s secretary-turned-model whose controversial photographs in skimpy attire helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, died Thursday. She was 85.…Looking back on the career that followed, she told Playboy in 1998, “I never thought it was shameful. I felt normal. It’s just that it was much better than pounding a typewriter eight hours a day, which gets monotonous.”Nudity didn’t bother her, she said, explaining, “God approves of nudity. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they were naked as jaybirds.”In 1951, Page fell under the influence of a photographer and his sister who specialized in S&M. They cut her hair into the dark bangs that became her signature and posed her in spiked heels and little else. She was photographed with a whip in her hand, and in one session she was spread-eagled between two trees, her feet dangling.“I thought my arms and legs would come out of their sockets,” she said later.
Moralists denounced the photos as perversion, and Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, Page’s home state, launched a congressional investigation.
Page quickly retreated from public view, later saying she was hounded by federal agents who waved her nude photos in her face. She also said she believed that, at age 34, her days as “the girl with the perfect figure” were nearly over…
In 1959, she was lying on a sea wall in Key West when she saw a church with a white neon cross on top. She walked inside and became a born-again Christian.
After attending Bible school, she wanted to serve as a missionary but was turned down because she had been divorced. Instead, she worked full-time for evangelist Billy Graham’s ministry.
A move to Southern California in 1979 brought more troubles.
She was arrested after an altercation with her landlady, and doctors who examined her determined she had acute schizophrenia. She spent 20 months in a state mental hospital in San Bernardino.
A fight with another landlord resulted in her arrest, but she was found not guilty because of insanity. She was placed under state supervision for eight years.
“She had a very turbulent life,” Todd Mueller, a family friend and autograph seller, told The Associated Press on Thursday. “She had a temper to her.”

And after all these years, the trans community is still at the back of the bus. I despise that. I’m hurt and get depressed a lot about it. But I will not give up because I won’t give the mainstream gay organizations the satisfaction of keeping us down. If we give up, they win. And we can’t allow them to win. The reason we, right now, as a trans community, don’t have the rights they have is that we allowed them to speak for us for so many damn years, and we bought everything they said to us: “Oh, let us pass our bill, then we’ll come for you.”
Yeah, come for me. Thirty-two years later and they’re still coming for me. And what have we got? Here, where it all started, trans people have got nothing. We can no longer let people like the Empire State Pride Agenda, the HRC in Washington, speak for us. And it really hurts me that some gay people don’t even know what we gave for their movement.

Merf. Thinking is Hard.: youarenotdesi: fat-amy-for-president: fat-amy-for-president: I was at...
I was at Hot Topic and saw this cool tshirt for some band or something called Bring Me the Horizon and idk what bring me the horizon is and don’t really care but the shirt is cute so i’ll wear it
This was an experiment. See how people started getting mad at me for “buying” a Bring Me The Horizon shirt, when I said I really knew nothing about them? How I said I bought it simply because I thought it was cute? Completely disregarding who the band was?
This is how people from other cultures feel when you purchase and wear garb from their culture with no knowledge of what that garb symbolizes and means. If you wear or use something for the wrong reasons, people get mad.
This has got to be by far one of the best ways to explain cultural appropriation to people.
hahahaha awesomely done
OH MY FUCKING GOD A TANGIBLE WAY TO EXPLAIN THIS CONCEPT NOW YAY THIS IS GOOD.
