I feel I should have written this sooner. Life is going on and I’m now in a stage that is of more critical importance than when I started blogging on tumblr. I might pop back sporadically, like today. But I will most likely not return to previous activity levels for a long time.

Johanne Bjørnå is a rape survivor who now after her rapist has been jailed holds guest lectures at schools and took the initiative to create this video as preventive measure against rape. It is in Norwegian but there is little dialog and the Youtube captions works quite well.

Also I feel I must add that I’m critical to one thing about this video. And that is that it implies the girl goes and sits in the shower shortly after the rape. You are not supposed to do this, you get a rape kit done to collect evidence. As far as I know doing a rape kit does not mean you have to press charges, if in doubt you can ask once you got there. Doing the kit keeps your options open, going for the shower pretty much flush your options down the drain.

This is called sexual harassment.

[gwenstafani-deactivated20150129]

Why would you even say that??? That’s disgusting

[jackballs-deactivated20200213]

afterwards he said “I’m gay though, it’s okay!” like no, sexual harassment is never okay

[puzzledpiece]

What even happens in your brain to think this is acceptable???

She looks like she’s going to vomit on him. I hope someone vomits on him.

Ugh…he’s such a piece of garbage. 

[chemicalheart-deactivated202009]

this is such a classic example of how sexual harassment is literally designed to dehumanize and degrade women and keep us in our place and is not about sex at all

This is why it angers me when people reduce Bollywood to frivolous musicals made solely for entertainment. Bollywood is a multidimensional platform that exposes a lot of prevalent issues in an often bold and unapologetic manner. Powerful scenes like the above illustrate how the Indian movie industry seeks to enlighten the public. I promise you, it’s not all song and dance.

This is actually sadly relevant. I had a lecture this summer about sign languages and Deaf culture and when I was finished, one hearing girl from the audience stayed behind to ask me some more question.

She asked me: “And your parents use sign language, right?” Like it was the most obvious thing in the world and why is she even asking this, of course my parents must know sign language.

"No… They don’t, actually."

"And how do you communicate, then?"

"Talking?"

"But… isn’t that complicated for you?"

"It is, sometimes."

"They probably didn’t have time for it…" she said. And I haven’t the heart to tell her that my father was offered sign language courses several times, that I offered to teach them some signs and that they always refused.

But I did told her: “It is not that rare. Most of deaf people I know have hearing parents who don’t sign.”

It’s the sad truth. People are willing to pay for surgeries to “repair” their children, but they are not willing to learn something to communicate with them.

[kirstenmcduffie]

i’d like to add onto this with my own personal experience, too. i was born hearing, but as soon as i was diagnosed as HoH, my parents didn’t do anything to learn ASL. they were quick to put me in classes, but they wouldn’t when i suggested to them that they take the classes with me so that we could learn.

i’ve tried to teach my mom how to sign numerous times, but she always says that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” to which i tell her that she can learn, she just doesn’t want to. which is true. neither of my parents want to learn how to sign, but they want me to be able to hear perfectly so they don’t have to repeat themselves.

little do they know that their frustration with me not being able to hear them would be solved if they would just learn how to sign. maybe signing something to me once instead of repeating themselves four times and then getting mad would be more beneficial.

[garudass-deactivated20200602]

I’m absolutely shocked at this, it’s never crossed my mind that many parents wouldn’t even try to meet their hard of hearing kids halfway.

Did you know that Moomin creator Tove Jansson illustrated J.R.R Tolkiens The Hobbit for the 1962 swedish edition? These are just a few of the illustrations in the book.

[meghillbilly]

It’s from Japan! Many schools in Onahama, Japan were left abandoned after the earthquake in 2007. Classrooms were left deserted. Then a project called Okurie painted morals on the Japanese buildings with paint, not blood

I can’t begin to explain my love this picture.

[deactivated306253]

I’m sorry. No. This is literally the most misogynistic thing I’ve seen ever.

If you have to point out that women are the same as men by demeaning them and calling them “sexist, perverts, pigs, assholes, deadbeats, idiots”, then you are a misogynist. End of story.

Demeaning an entire gender is not equality.

Fuck men, and fuck all you MRA scum who reblog this. You’re showing nothing but sexism.

[astronoots-blog1]

EXCUSE ME YOU ARE USING THE WORD ‘MISOGYNIST’ WRONG.

MISOGYNY IS HAVING AN UNEXPLAINABLE HATRED FOR WOMEN. THIS POST EXEMPLIFIES THAT WOMEN AND MEN CAN BOTH HAVE THESE TRAITS. 

NOW IT’S NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, I’M SURE, BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH. 

EVERYONE CAN BE FUCKED UP AND BAD.

EVERYONE CAN BE HAPPY AND GOOD.

NOW SIT THE FUCK DOWN, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT DEMEANING THE ENTIRE GENDER OF WOMEN. THEY ARE DEMEANING BOTH, AND ARE SHEDDING LIGHT ONTO THE FACT THAT NOT ALL WOMEN ARE GOOD.

GET OFF YOUR FUCKING HIGH HORSE BECAUSE YOU MAKE FEMINISM SEEM IRRELEVANT, AND INVALID, BECAUSE YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS IS INCORRECT.

[hawk-windrider]

Reblogging for that last comment.

[thetallblacknerd]

This is how stupid Tumblr is; they are so caught up seeing everything as misogyny that they cant even see when someone is promoting actually equality

[grannythots-deactivated20190917]

Did… did that person just say that an image saying that some women can act just the way some men do is MISOGYNISTIC?

Holy shit. This is why I need anti-feminism.

Because you’re in a European-style church, yo. Christian art depeicts Jesus and the other Biblical figures as whatever the race of the artist/region is. Don’t believe me?

Here’s a Chinese painting of the Baptism of Christ:

Here is a Native American painting of the Nativity:

Here’s a painting of Jesus giving a sermon by a Kenyan artist:

And, lastly, here’s a European painting of Jesus healing the blind:

If you live in a country or region where the culture is primarily European, expect to have that reflected in the art you see.
