Right now someone you haven't met is wondering what it would be like to meet someone like you.

In books we never find anything but ourselves. Strangely enough, that always gives us great pleasure, and we say the author is a genius.

over 130 sex workers were murdered this year, that we know of.

today is our memorial for them.

December 17th started while Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer, was still free and continuing his decades long murder spree, despite the fact that sex workers knew who he was and tried to tell police. Ridgeway said he targeted sex workers because he knew no one would care, and the police proved him right.

This is still the case. The Long Island killer is still at large, even tho at least one sex worker tried to call the police, they came, laughed at her, and her body was found a year later.

but WE CARE.

we are here and we are watching and we care. we aren’t alone. you aren’t alone.

remember. mourn. keep loving and keep fighting. you aren’t alone.

The idea that women are innately more nurturing than men and have maternal instinct might sound endearing and without broader social context, even complimentary, because hey, its a great attribute to be loving and useful in a family setting, but it isn’t. To every demand of women, there is a lenience for men. When girls/women are understood as not only made for household duties, but actually enjoy it, the requirement for men to hold up their portion of domestic duties dissolves.

Women aren’t uniformly anything. Some might be nurturing and appreciate home labor, some might not, just like some might be tall and some might not, but its not a biological trait. Ultimately, its a sporadic characteristic turned social expectation which patriarchal standards have so deeply normalized that its made to be intrinsic.

This expectation has daunting consequences for practically every young girl and woman. Girls are domesticated young, trained to take on chores, while boys have the freedom to be a “mess”, or human. If a woman is married (in a hetero union), she is assumed, perhaps even socially coerced to do housework and child care. If a woman doesn’t fancy cooking or cleaning and has no desire of motherhood, she is seen as deficient, unfit as a spouse and “less of a woman”.

One of the most challenging aspects of fighting modern (meaning neoliberal) heteropatriarchy is the acuteness of which oppressive behavior occurs. Many millennial aged liberal men wouldn’t outright say they demand women to serve them and probably even support surface level feminist theory, but still legitimatize and absorb repressive gender roles in their understandings of and interactions with women. And many will resist being challenged on these ideas, no matter how counteractive the real life results are.

another reason why i don't like to say "mother earth" and give a gender to things.

If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you’re scared that it’s not the right thing. Even if you’re scared that it’ll cause problems. Even if you’re scared that it will burn your life to the ground. You say it, and you say it loud. And then you go from there.

Is it really that bad if someone sees who you are? Why is it humans have a problem with letting someone else see that they are human?

We live in an age where we feel guilt whenever we have to cut someone off but the reality is that some relationships do need to die, some people do need to be un-followed and de-friended. We aren’t meant to be this tethered to the people in our past. The Internet mandates that we don’t burn bridges and keep everyone around like relics but those expectations are unrealistic and unhealthy. Simply put, we don’t need to know what everyone else is up to. We’re allowed to be choosy about who we surround ourselves with online and in real life, even if it might hurt people’s feelings.
