The Will To Change by Bell Hooks fucked me up good

[bozosonthebus]

Actually most of words we use for sex are violent, not just fuck. My Marriage and Family professor pointed this out during my freshmen year of college and it’s stayed with me. Think about it…. bang, screw, hit it, pound, smash, rail, plow, pound, like our entire culture has tried to remove the concept of intimacy and vulnerability and emotion from sex by associating violent words with the action. The power of language on culture, perspective, and overall mindset is so incredible. We gotta be more careful and respectful of that.

Interestingly enough, the one term I can think of that isn’t violent, make love, is ridiculed in pop culture instead of used to create intimacy when talking about sex. I never considered that before. This whole post is food for thought.

Reblogging again for ^^this comment. I’d been thinking the same thing. You can say you had sex or fucked or banged but if you say you “made love” then you’re mocked as a naive, overly-romantic, teenage girl virgin or some other sexist bullshit. 

I wonder what euphemisms are in other languages. I only know a few, but not well enough to write about them.

they had to put “bff” on her shirt so we’d know this wasn’t gay coffee

And meanwhile, assholes with no sense of irony or history refer to the naming of sexual predators as a witch hunt.

An Ohio family sits on the picket line during the 1981 air traffic controllers strike. It ended after the federal government fired all 11,300 striking workers, banned them from ever being rehired, legally dissolved their union and sent in military air traffic controllers to replace them.

She looks so alive in color! You can almost touch her rosy cheeks.

Elizabeth Smart: 'Pornography made my living hell worse'

Kidnapping victim speaks of the role pornography played in what she called "the longest nine months of my life" in a video made by an anti-porn group.

“He would just sit and look at it and stare at it, and he would just talk about these women, and then when he was done, he would turn and look at me, and he would be like, ‘Now we’re going to do this,’” Smart said of her convicted abductor, Brian David Mitchell.

SHOUTOUT TO THE MISS PERU 2018 CONTESTANTS FOR GIVING STATS ABOUT WOMEN’S ISSUES INSTEAD OF THEIR BODY MEASUREMENTS

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?

The United Nations proposed a law condemning nations who sentence people in the LGBT community, among other minorities, to death. 

And the U.S. voted against it.

They refused to condemn countries who SENTENCE THE LGBT COMMUNITY TO DEATH!

The United Nations isn’t one of those gray areas. All of the laws and legislations are intentionally black and white. In this case, you either condemn killing the LGBT community for the sake of being gay/trans/etc. Or you don’t. 

There’s no middle ground. There’s no interpretation. There’s no reading into it. 

On October 3rd, 2017, the United States refused to condemn sentencing the LGBT Community to death. Which can only mean that they’re in favor of sentencing the LGBT Community to death.

IM HOLLERING RIGHT NOW

Flirting has playfulness about it that sexual bullying does not.  It is never intended to harm & is an invitation for two people to get to know each other better.  As with any other invitation it can be accepted or rejected - and the person who initiated the flirting honors either response.

In sexual bullying there is no invitation - just an attack.  The target is embarrassed, humiliated, and shame and tends to feel powerless.  It is not the intention of the bully to engage in healthy sexual flirtation with another person the attack is meant to hurt.

If the target protests, she is often labeled a “bitch” who is uptight and can’t take a joke.

“In particular I have learned so much about what we’re allowed to say— the ideas we’re allowed to have about gender— and the ones that we’re not allowed to say— the things we will be punished for stating out loud or for even thinking. So in that presentation {‘The End of Gender: Revolution, Not Reform’} I tried to get across two main ideas, and I’ve come to discover that these two ideas amount to an Orwellian-style thoughtcrime in the current political climate around gender. And I think that indicates to me why we need to say them publicly, as loudly as we can, every opportunity we get.” — Rachel Ivy (2014)

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: “Trans women are trans women”

“So, when people talk about, you know, ‘Are trans women, women?’ My feeling is trans women are trans women. I think the whole problem of gender in the world is about our experiences. It’s not about how we wear our hair, or whether we have a vagina or a penis, it’s about the way the world treats us. And I think if you’ve lived in the world as a man, with the privileges that the world accords to men, and then sort of changed– switched gender, it’s difficult for me to accept that then we can equate your experience with the experience of a woman who has lived from the beginning in the world as a woman, and who has not been accorded those privileges that men are. […] I’m saying this also with, sort of, a certainty that transgender people should be allowed to be. But I don’t think it’s a good thing to conflate everything into one. I don’t think it’s a good thing to talk about women’s issues being exactly the same as the issues of trans women because I don’t think that’s true”.
