How can you not be attracted to a dialogue that leaves room for individual differences and the right to be a fully recognized autonomous individual without automatic role expectations on the basis of your chromosomes, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or ability? Feminists can burn their…

Or, Why You Are Too Stupid For Anyone To Want To Fuck You
I’m going to cut out the bullshit intro in this inane article. Don’t waste your time: basically, women become affectionate instead of excited after 3 months, and don’t want sex. Because affection cannot coexist with excitement, and it is the antithesis of sex. Also, it advises against you dating a woman with a low sex drive,...
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
Woman: Well, why can't I have birth control?
Government: Because. Sex isn't for recreation.
Woman: It can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.
Government: Too bad.
Man: For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?
Government: Do you have a penis?
Man: YES, YES I DO!!
Government: WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!
Government: But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want.
Woman: But-
Government: Shut up, you sinning, freeloading hussy.
Mythbusting Monday: Bisexuality Does Not Exist →
iamtalkingback:
Every Monday, the blog I am an editor of has a weekly feature called “Mythbusting Monday.” Today I chose to bust the myth that bisexuality does not exist and take on the erasure of bisexuality:
I’ve been told by someone who identified as gay that I was only bisexual because I’m a feminist. My bisexuality, like other sexual identities, is not a choice. It’s not a political...

I will be the first to say that mothers are heroes. Women who give birth to and raise children (or just raise them, in some cases) are very honorable human beings seeing as 1.) no one can debate upon how difficult motherhood is, prenatal and beyond, and 2.) we are the only mammals who naturally…
I'm sorry I've been so grumpy guys...
I just have difficulty justifying being outraged about a group of people because of circumstances out of their control.
My tolerance for crap is pretty low right now, I’m back in study mode and the debates have been fierce -.-

What is about non-sex working white, cis...

… where their ego is just so way more important to them than actually pausing to think there might be a REASON sex workers, PoC and trans* people might have major issues with them and their behaviour and yeah that probably DOES have to do with their life experiences (or lack of certain ones…)?
FFS.
It’s not all about their egos. That’s a fucking cop out....
Clarification
I’m not offended by everything that’s slightly controversial that I respond to on Tumblr.
I just think some of it’s absolute bullshit. -.-
Late night Tumblr occasionally makes me wish I kept more reasonable hours.

Link: Mardi Gras, polyamory, and the LGBTIQ... →
While a decision prohibiting a local polyamory group to march in Mardi Gras Parade was eventually overturned, that their exclusion was even considered raises questions about how we view the LGBTIQ community, writes Tommy Berne.
Sometimes
I get too enthusiastic when I talk or I’m ranting about something. And people think I’m pissed about something.
I get so freaking involved in what I’m doing or I’m genuinely passionate about what I’m saying and I come across too frank or like I’m raging at the person I’m talking to. I hate upsetting people.
What really fucks with my head though is when...

Something I'm getting more than a little sick of
The amount of hate there is against people who are not sex workers, discussing sex work.
A LOT of people have been throwing this around the tumblrsphere lately and if it’s intended in a different context, then it’s probably worth clarifying, the blanket statements are starting to get a bit tired.
I talk to a lot of non sex worker’s about sex work. Often because they’re...
Hard not to feel like crap when someone’s barely talking to you.
And you’re feeling sick and gross and they’ve made it infinitely clear they’re aware of it.
I’m so tired of feeling like I’m a pain to be around.

Legalize it!
Fauxminist: Legalize sex work
Sex worker: No
Fauxminist: Pay taxes, std tests, cops!
Sex worker: Cops are a bunch of abusive, middle class rapists, who murder disabled people people of color and trans people , taxes for sex are bullshit, and std tests force sex workers to have to have unprotected sex in order to keep clients who is going to make sure that the clients aren't infecting sex workers? Seriously who?
Fauxminist: Adimitedly I don't know much about sex wo...
Sex Worker: Then shut the fuck up.
Fauxminist: But...
Sex worker: NO
Fauxminist: I'm a sex worker too!
Sex worker: Eww you reek or privilege get away from me*hisses*
How just about every conversation about sex work(I mean the term that was created as a better way to say prostitution) goes with every feminist.
TGWL: It's a shame that this appears to be the main example of dialogue this person has had with feminists regarding sex work. I've been fortunate, despite many conversations just as frustrating as this colorful example, to have had a number of constructive talks with feminists I know and some I don't about the industry and they've had some fairly enlightened POVs. Admittedly, being on the 'front line' as it were, does give you insight that someone who isn't a sex worker wouldn't have, but it's pleasing to know that people are at least trying to educate themselves on the realities and that more feminists etc, are actually talking to feminists about some of these issues.
