I guess I am supposed to pin a post of the kinds of people I don’t want to interact with because of bad experiences or different values, so no Nazi/BLM/MtF/pro-anorexic/clusterBs/NewEnglanders or cat lovers please.

I think that covers all of my exs

I’m getting a lot of conservative followers from my anti-porn post so I want to put this out there:

I am not your friend. We are not ‘allies’. I am against pornography because I care about women not getting raped or tortured. You are against pornography because you see the women forced into those scenes as whores, dirtied and going to hell.

We. Are. Not. The. Same.

[transphobesbian-deactivated2021]

Same goes for conservative transphobes.

I AM NOT alligning myself with old conservatives who blindly hate trans people because they “look” wrong or “are changing the body that God gave them”. I criticize the gender movement because of how harmful many of the ideas are towards homosexuals, not because they are going to hell or some other bullshit that conservatives want to spew.

[madolecence]

I’m making this my pinned post. It drives me up the wall when people think radical feminists have the same political views as conservatives, that could not be farther from the truth.

Finally, some good news.

This is so great because if anyone is caught impeding or messing with these deliveries, it’s MAIL, that makes it a FEDERAL crime, whoever fucks with these packages gets charged FEDERALLY, they face up to five years in prison.

Look, I'm not saying I agree with this idea, but for as much as we have these days, the fact that there aren't there instant face painting machines to put make up on yet really says a lot about men in the computer industry value women's time and contributions.

Imagine that when you were born your entire family celebrated. "It's a girl! How wonderful, just like we hoped for! A perfect baby girl!"

Imagine being bounced on your mother's knee and her cooing, "what a strong girl you are! You are going to grow so big! You are so brave, your grip is so strong, and your voice so loud!"

Imagine being dressed up for practical, comfortable clothes and having your hair out of the way, and then told to run wild. Imagine being given complex toys, a tool kit, toy swords and shields, mechanical toys, building blocks, kids' science and story books. Imagine being told, "she's so creative and innovative! She knows what she wants. She's always so curious and inventive."

Imagine all your family, relatives, babysitters and teachers describing you as a leader type, a moral guardian, a responsible and promising young girl, creative, strong, opinionated, intelligent. A future leader, an organizer, someone whose voice is loud and clear as it should be.

Imagine your maturing being a source of joy. You are getting taller, bigger, stronger and sturdier. You have a healthy appetite of a growing young woman. Your body is a powerhouse of survival. You get your period and it's celebrated, you are entering womanhood and showing the power of a lifegiver. Period is a sign that you are strong and healthy, your body is amazing. You get to decide what's for dinner at home because your growing body is a priority for all and you need to care for it.

Imagine respect of your peers and security among you. Imagine relying on other women like you without insecurity. Imagine being fearless, proud, content and limitless, full of promise and possibilities.

Now, I know that none of us got to live like that. But for a moment, imagine that you did, and then try to imagine the woman you would be today. What kind of a person is she? What does she want? What are her dreams, her possibilities? What limits and fears have been completely banished from her life?

How does she see herself?

You might not be her, but once you imagine that woman in your mind, she becomes real, and you can become her.

This guy behind me is talking about putting cheese and mustard on a sloppy joe and right now I kinda want to grab him by the shoulders and tell him that is sacraligious to Joe and his sloppyness.

I have not felt quite right since the benadryI took last night for my allergies and ngl it’s starting to bother me.

[noneyasyaheard]

I’m the kind of lady that you never know if I am going to show up in a pant suit, flowery boho dress or simple t-shirt and jeans.

That awkward realization that finally committing to living your truth as an ace person probably helped keep you from getting trafficked because you kept turning down everyone’s advances or not even noticing them.

[user87262893]

These are genuine questions. What is stopping prostitutes from getting another job? How is it not a choice? Idk work at mcdonalds bro. Also Ive heard about girls being corced into pornography, but how does that work? They get there expecting a modelling job and is porn, cant they just leave??

Good questions!

What is stopping prostitutes from getting another job?

There are a lot of possibilities here. I’ll name some.

• They were born into a brothel and now that is the only “career” they qualify for.

• They live in a place where a womans only way of financial gain outside of a marriage is selling sex.

• They are being trafficked and cannot leave on threat of death to themselves, their family, have no way to run because they dont speak the language, or are simply too young to comprehend their situation, or they grew up trafficked and now dont know there are options.

• They dont have a Visa or passport or means to work in a documented setting.

• They need money to survive/pay rent/pay debts/pay for food for their kids and only have the qualifications for a McDonalds job in which the wages in no way approach anything livable.

• Their pimp is threatening them or their kids or their family or other girls in their circuit if they run.

• They are qualified for other jobs, but they have now been “out of work” for so long they are unhirable.

• They are qualified for other jobs, but they have medical bills/family expenses/debts that require large cash influxes to not go under.

• They are being blackmailed by a boyfriend/ex/client to stay.

• They feel the social stigma of trying to resume an office job after prostitution and the pressures send them back.

• They are affected by the trauma of being raped, used, and degraded by men and now cannot function in a normal setting or hold down other work.

How is it not a choice?

• Brothel generations

• Income insecurity

• Trafficking

• Medical bills/debts/family expenses that require cash fast

• Coercion by a boyfriend or community pimp

• Initial consenting entry coupled with massive barriers to exit

• Need money to survive and cant get other work

Ive heard about girls being corced into pornography, but how does that work? They get there expecting a modelling job and is porn, cant they just leave??

• Signed a contract and hated it after 1 shoot. Contractually obligated to perform the other 60.

• Drug addiction requiring fast cash

• Other debts or survival expenses requiring fast cash

• Boyfriend or pimp pressures them into it

• Blackmailed into it

• Sex tape leaked, societal shaming unless one “leans into it”

• Did one shoot as a teen, now everyone knows your name and face and you cant find other work

• Boyfriend or husband will leave unless you produce films together, or alone for them

…

I hope these help!

Everyday I wake up and I’m grateful for fact fems ❤️

It’s insidious how it happens really and often women don’t know till it is too late.

It’s often though “a guy that wants to help”.

Or at least that’s what it is in my area where prostitution is illegal but prevalent.

I met a fairly famous piece of shite once. Do you know what he said to me when I met him? “Do you need help? Do you need a place to stay? I have helped girls in the past.” I turned him down because I really just wanted to go about my business and didn’t need any help.

Then several years later it came out on the news that one of the women he had been abducting and abusing for quite a few years managed to escape.

“Do you need help?” -from the gentleman that would carry my groceries to my door before one day he asked me for paid services.

“Do you need a job” -said my landlord before I found out that they were running a legit whore houses out of their other properties after they badgered me so much at work about nonsense that my job let me go and set me up to “clean” properties that most certainly did not need cleaned.

“Do you need a ride?”-the elderly dude that I thought I knew and thought was harmless later suggested he would exchange favors for dirty favors from me.

“Would you like a cigarette?”-the guy that tried to get my mentally challenged neighbor to get naked for him.

“Do you want a friend”-every disgusting dude that has ever been turned down because you said you weren’t single to.

“Would you like some…” whatever drug they want to get you hooked on to try and be in control of you.

If you are naive to their ways, it is really easy to get caught up in.

But it’s not just the men. The women caught up in it act like a crab in a barrel of crabs towards other women or get offensive and aggressive if you suggest it is not the life for you. Some women will even try to bring you into it by suggesting a good time with drugs, then bringing over guys. Others turn a blind eye like the landlord’s wife even though they can clearly see what is going on.

In short: People suck and it’s surprising easy to accidentally get caught up in that nonsense.

Now, may I present to you the tool that has helped me see most of those situations for what they were before they got too far along, because any one can do any of the things on this wheel, even if they aren’t male. Your parents, siblings, friends, strangers, co-workers, and bosses.

What Is Coercive Control?

A helpful toolkit with links to articles, self-assessments, checklists, books and other resources to help people understand what is coercive

Above is a really good link about Coercive Control with lots of info on the many various ways people can stealthy take over your life and get you to do many things you do not want to do.

Being asexual is forcing yourself into the wrong relationships with the wrong people to “prove” you’re “not broken.”

[noneyasyaheard]

Found my bun bun

[asexual-of-hearts]

ace people are more likely to have low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety than other sexualities (x)

"A 2012 study reported that asexuals are evaluated more negatively in terms of prejudice, dehumanization and discrimination than other sexual minorities, such as gay men, lesbians and bisexuals. Both homosexual and heterosexual people thought of asexuals as not only cold, but also animalistic and unrestrained. Asexual activist, author, and blogger Julie Decker has observed that sexual harassment and violence, such as corrective rape, commonly victimizes the asexual community" (x)

asexuality is still widely seen as a choice, mental illness, or problem that needs to be solved (x)

a study found that straight people expressed biased and negative attitudes toward asexuals, didn't want to associate with them, and were less likely to rent an apartment or hire them than any other lgbt group (x)

"Another study by Yale University researchers published in April on the coming out experiences of 169 asexuals found many met with skepticism and dismissiveness. One woman was told, 'You’re not a tree.' Another said her lesbian friend told her she was being 'ridiculous.'" (x)

ace people have the lowest average life satisfaction of any sexuality (x)

89% of ace people are afraid to be open about their asexuality for fear of negative reactions and retaliation (x)

ace people have faced hate crimes, corrective rape, medical abuse, and 43.5% have experienced sexual violence (x)

WHERE do these sources say that discrimination against asexual people is worse than homophobia ?

[strozzaprete-deactivated2024062]

hey op why don't you show me a country where you get the death penalty for not having sex

[critical-woman]

I’m not sorry, but on what planet do people who abstain from sex come off as “animalistic and unrestrained”?!? Like…? Lmfao?

[ms-gay-frogs]

LMAO not only do these links to go WIKIPEDIA but i tried seeing the actual studies behind the """sources""" and it's ...

huh!

[ms-gay-frogs]

looked into another one of OP's """sources""" and

BAHHAHAHAHAA "1/3 of respondents found out about asexuality through tumblr" IM CRYING LOOK AT HOW BIG THAT LINE IS 😭😭😭😭😭 take away tumblr and you wipe out their community PLEASE

[queen-mayhem]

It's literally all tumblr. All of these options are, at most, one to two degree of separation from tumblr.

"I don't remember" - almost certainly tumblr.

"Word of mouth" - from someone who learned about it on tumblr.

"Fandom" - significant demographic overlap with tumblr.

"The LGBTQ community" - significant demographic overlap with tumblr.

"Blogs" - written by somebody who learned about it on tumblr.

"Facebook" - written by somebody who learned about it on tumblr.

[noneyasyaheard]

That face you make when every argument you see against asexuality’s existence are by and large the exact same arguments that were made against homosexuality and lesbianism in an attempt to have them classified as a mental illness to facilitate “corrective rape” and “conversation therapy, but this time the arguments are made by the LGB instead of the straights.
