We can’t accept polyamory because then there would be no love triangle drama in media and we’re just not ready to come up with new ideas for conflict

Wanna know why?

“Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman told the crowd at Saturday’s Women’s March in downtown Los Angeles that she experienced what she calls “sexual terrorism” as a 13-year-old after the release of the film The Professional.

Portman described her pride and excitement in releasing the film, only to encounter sexually explicit messages both directed toward her and made about her.

”I excitedly opened my first fan mail to read a rape fantasy that a man had written me,” she recalled. “A countdown was started on my local radio show to my 18th birthday, euphemistically the date that I would be legal to sleep with. Movie reviewers talked about my budding breasts in reviews.”

The experience, she said, changed the way she expressed herself publicly, in order to limit the ways she could be objectified by others.

”I understood very quickly, even as a 13-year-old, that if I were to express myself sexually, I would feel unsafe,” she said. “And that men would feel entitled to discuss and objectify my body to my great discomfort. So I quickly adjusted my behavior. I rejected any role that even had a kissing scene and talked about that choice deliberately in interviews. I emphasized how bookish I was and how serious I was. And I cultivated an elegant way of dressing. I built a reputation for basically being prudish, conservative, nerdy, serious, in an attempt to feel that my body was safe and that my voice would be listened to.”

Tonight, I went to a Non-Violent, Direct  Action Safety Training. There is one being held every evening this week in preparation for Sept. 16. A group called the “New Confederate States” is coming into my city, without a permit, to “protect” a monument to a dead slave-owner and self-proclaimed treasonous soldier. 

One month ago, I went to a protest in Charlottesville, Va. The “Unite the Right” rally felt like a sick joke that morning. How could any of us anticipated what we were going to see that day? But, the counter-protest was so massive, that the rally itself was shut down and a state of emergency was declared in the city as the white supremacists, neo-confederates, and neo-Nazis were made to leave Emancipation Park. And suddenly, they weren’t a joke anymore. 

I saw men carrying semi-automatic weapons as they brandished swastikas and confederate flags. I saw the police stand by as a white nationalist fired a gun at a black man holding a Black Lives Matter shirt. I saw James Field’s car come speeding down a hill towards me and my fellow counter-protesters. I saw Heather Heyer’s body pinned between two cars. And now, people waving the same symbols, and preaching the same hate, want to come into the city I love under the guise of “Heritage Not Hate.” 

I’ve had people ask me why I would do this again. Wasn’t Charlottesville enough, they ask. Hadn’t I learned my lesson? 

No. I learned that these people won’t stop. They won’t just go away if they are ignored. They will kill. They will work to instill fear into communities until the world is safe for racists again. I refuse to let them. I will not ignore fascism and hatred when it tries to invade my home. 

I hope people are right, and only a couple dozen neo-confederates will show up, and be insignificant. I hope there is nothing for us to counter-protest. But I’m scared. One month ago, I stood with a group of amazing people as we told the right that their hate wasn’t welcome here. This weekend, I will do it again.
