let me make this clear

in theory i support sex positive feminism ideology in that sex is not shameful and whatever

however i strongly dislike how far the movement has grown away from this ideology and has become about defending pedophiles and misogynists in the name of combating kink shaming and somehow the notion that stealing your man and riding his dick reverse cowgirl will smash the patriarchy?? still do not understand that

the execution of sex posi feminism is very messy and actually does hurt a lot to girls (including myself) who get caught up in the rhetoric

sixteen year old girls need to be told “no you should not make your sexual debut with this guy six years older than you” rather than “yeah girl get that d you’re so empowered and liberated i support whatever choices you make”

[rubyfruitjumble-deactivated2016]

I think that younger girls should be educated in a way that is comprehensive and they should be told about signs of abuse and about power dynamics like age differences and how people can take advantage of them. Because I think just saying “no, you shouldn’t do that” is often unhelpful at least partially because it makes a person feel disempowered. I think effective feminist sex education would empower girls by giving them the tools to think critically about their relationships and the people they let into their life, and to value their own autonomy. (I mean this as an addition to this post rather than a criticism, because I agree that sex positive feminism as it is practiced seriously hurts young girls– I’ve also been there!)

William Bratton: Investigate Ryo Oyamada's Death

Ryo Oyamada, a 24 year old student from Japan, was struck and killed by an NYPD vehicle in a hit & run.  Witnesses say the police car had no lights or sirens on and was going over 70 mph.  The released footage by NYPD was proven to be heavily altered in a cover-up, showing “lights” on the vehicle, when compared to footage from the NY Housing Authority on the same street with the same timestamp. 

On a personal note: I know that this will probably not be shared or reblogged very much, because Asians are not very prominent in American culture.  I understand this, because Asians (like me) are partially at fault for being so passive.  But I am begging you to please consider signing this petition out of human decency.  Ryo was just a student walking home, then struck by a nearly silent police cruiser going at excess speed, and the NYPD covered it up. 

Here is the side-by-side comparison of the released video footage, including updates from the case.  *Edit*  This article contains a link to a graphic video moments after the crash, showing the body of Ryo Oyamada and NY citizens yelling at the police.  Please advise, it is highly disturbing. 

And the following is an excerpt from the petition, which as of now only has 286 signatures.

On February 21st, 2013, Ryo Oyamada was struck and killed by a police cruiser while crossing the street.  NYPD claimed that the cruiser’s lights and sirens were on before the collision, but multiple eyewitnesses stated otherwise, that the lights and sirens were only turned on afterwards, and that the cruiser was speeding in excess of 70 mph down a residential street.  None of these eyewitnesses were interviewed for the police report.

Okay I’ve been digging around trying to find pictures of Baby Esther because the internet really does seem to be full of mislabeled pictures of this woman and it seems like a few articles have swapped around “Little Esther” and “Baby Esther” who are two totally different people...

If I could, I would turn girls into dragons. Girls whose skin has been stained by filthy hands, girls who are forced to face those familiar hands day after day, give them armor. Girls who are told that womanhood means duty, who dig and sweat and carry and labor, girls who break their backs on someone else’s burden, give them spiked spines. Girls trapped in cycles: cycles of abuse addiction poverty pain cycles they can’t even name, cycling cycling down the drain and thrown out with the bathwater, give them claws. Girls who chomp down on fear hiding behind their teeth, who swallow it whole because it’s the only nourishment they’ll get, give them razor fangs. Girls who thirst for knowledge in the middle of a drought, girls whose minds are considered as real as their suffering, give them fire to burst from their mouths in place of the words that no one hears. Girls whose bodies are not their own; who are meant for decoration and cannot decorate themselves, who are meant for pleasure and cannot pleasure themselves, who are meant to be examples and cannot exemplify themselves, give them wings to fly far, far away, taste freedom in the sky, and see it for what it should be: a right, not a privilege. Every girl who is considered a possession or a prize or a plaything, who lives confined by people who call condescension “love” and manipulation “compromise” and fear “respect” and silence “consent,” give her eyes that strike terror into the heart of anyone who would call her weak. Gift girls with dragonhood when personhood is a myth.

It is my prayer, my hope, my wish, and my dream for you to know your worth. To know that no one and nothing gives, limits, determines, and destroys your worth. Your past is over. Your mistakes are over. You are not the same person. You do not have to carry the weight of all the yesterdays. You do not have to carry guilt or shame or pain for even one second longer. You can choose different. You are worthy of something better.

With love,

Dele
