What a perfect example to show the importance of watching female sports. The direct impact it has on your self esteem and the confidence it instills in young girls around you ❤️

note to self: you are an intelligent woman. forgive yourself for all the times you were stupid and naive. you are a woman of heart. forgive yourself for the times you were soft when you should have been hard.

So once again, the male is the authority on our lives.

That was the intention all along.

[peachtwigs-deactivated20230912]

no woman is required to “respect” cultural practices which are inherently degrading to them or religious beliefs which devalue them as human beings. we are not required to adhere to a state of patriarchal reverence whether we’re observing our own society or others, and we’re free to both criticize and reject any ideology that views female human beings as innately inferior or born for subservience.

Happy birthday, Léa Roback! (November 3, 1903)

A communist, trade unionist, pacifist, and feminist, Léa Roback was born in Montreal, one of nine children of Polish Jewish immigrants. The only Jewish family in Beauport, the unique circumstances of Roback's upbringing meant that she was a polyglot at a young age: she spoke Yiddish at home, English in school, and French in her community. She also learned German while abroad, during which time she became a communist and joined the Communist Party of Germany. She lived in Germany for a time as political tension mounted and the Nazis gained power, and left in the fall of 1932. Returning to Quebec, she joined the Communist Party of Canada, established a Marxist bookstore, and campaigned for the poor and the rights of women. She also helped to establish a garment workers' union and supported female workers on strike. She remained an activist her entire life, denouncing war and nuclear proliferation and pushing for further progress in women's rights, until her death in 2000.

"All my life I have stood with the working men and women. I was proud to belong to the rank-and-file. Whenever I said 'we,' I meant 'we,' what we could achieve together. That’s what I loved."

I don't think it's a coincidence that its mostly traumatized women who aren't going to therapy who are the receivers of CNC, actually. I don't think it's a coincidence that it's mostly straight men who are the perpetrators in these rape fantasies, actually. I don't think it's a coincidence that the rise of CNC happened not so far away from when women started speaking about their horrible sexual experiences, actually. And I cannot believe "fantasizing about raping someone is bad" is a Puritanical Christian Take now lol.

When will men be held responsible?

All of the accounts cited in this article are just horrific. I am horrified. Porn is an epidemic.

“A couple weeks ago, an 11-year-old boy admitted seven counts of rape and sexual assault on boys under 13 after he watched similar explicit images online. Legal officials involved in the case said it was clear that internet porn had sparked the sex attacks.”

“Last November, a boy was convicted of repeatedly raping his younger sister after becoming fascinated with online pornography. The 14-year-old, who was only 12 at the time of the crime, pleaded guilty to six charges of rape in court. His internet browsing history showed he had searched and watched porn relating to incest.”

“In August 2014, a judge condemned the “corrosive” influence of pornography after a boy who visited hardcore pornographic websites abducted and raped a girl in his town that was just 10 years old.”

“In [a] survey, many boys revealed that they wanted to copy the behavior they had seen watching porn. More than a third (39%) of 13-14 year-olds who responded to this question – and a fifth of 11-12 of year-olds (21%) – wanted to repeat porn acts. The interesting part? These answers came despite more than 3/4 of the kids agreeing that porn didn’t help them understand consent.”

[smalldarlinglesbian]

I recently watched a documentary on young sexual offenders in juvenile prison and one fourteen year old boy said he’d started watching porn around age nine and he, quote, “looked at my four year old sister and knew I could use her”.

Porn has to be destroyed.

[omnivore-odyssey]

I don’t give a single fuck how many adults claim they “need” it or that “it’s not our fault children saw this.” Your “needs” are not as important as reducing sexual assault.

So I've just had a thought, and bare with me because I'm aware that this could be a reach lmao.

So it's already been brought up in radblr how the Karen meme has gone too far and demonizes women for asserting themselves and demonizes women for being middle aged, and god forbid a woman is middle aged and asserts herself!

But I was thinking about the stereotypical "Karen" haircut, which is like this:

and it make me think, of course the stereotypical "Karen" haircut is a short and practical haircut, not long beautiful tresses or something that's conventionally attractive and seen as beautiful to men. So the Karen meme not only demonizes women for daring to assert themsevles / be middle aged instead of young and naive, but it's also demonizing women for daring to have short practical haircuts instead of long beautiful tresses that follow typical patriarchal beauty standards.

Like I've seen comments on instagram of girls and women who previously hair long hair getting it cut into a pixie or bob and people, usually boys and men, commenting "Karen haircut lmao" or "future Karen in the making" just on normal and practical looking bobs and pixie cuts, and then this leads to the girls and women I've heard saying they want to get a bob or a pixie cut but "don't want to look like a Karen" so they keep their conventionally attractive long locks.

I'm willing to entertain the idea that the Karen meme started as a reasonable way for retail employees to vent about the abuse they get from customers, however either way now women are getting called Karens just for existing past the age of 30, or just for asserting themselves when it's reasonable and called for to assert yourself, or in this case just for daring to have short and practical haircuts. Besides, I've been working in food service and retail for the better part of a decade now and my worst customers are always men. Male customers will regularly get violent and genuinely make me afraid for my safety. Meanwhile when female customers are bad usually the worst they do is be snippy and make me feel bad about myself. Which isn't nearly the same as genuinely making me feel unsafe. And also, the worst female customers I get are often teenage girls and young women who are closely following conventional beauty standards including having long hair.

I love when people credit artists. This is French circus artist and choreographer Yoann Bourgeois, probably in Tentatives d'approche d'un point de suspension at hangar Y in Meudon a few days ago. Most of his work is an exploration of balance and equilibrium, he has several variations around the stairs/trampoline thing (fugue-trampoline, this one, cavale, l'art de la fugue…)
