How Do You Say *#%^¥•

We weep for a bird's cry, but not for a fish's blood. Blessed are those with a voice. If the dolls also had voices, they would have screamed, "I didn't want to become human." - Major Motoko Kusanagi Dogblr: miloandhachi Toy Photography: domoxadventures

I don’t see how any male who likes porn can think actual sex is better, at least if it involves all the crap that comes with having a real live female in your life.“ -Frank, porn user Like when you’re going to the store, do you want vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate ice cream? I’ll sit down at the computer and say, “Hmm, I feel like Asian girls tonight.” –Christopher, porn user “He would come home from work, slide food around his plate during dinner, play for maybe half an hour with the kids, and then go into his home office, shut the door, and surf Internet porn for hours. I knew – and he knew that I knew. I put a filter on his browser that would e-mail me every time a pornographic image was captured…I continually confronted him on this. There were times I would be so angry I would cry and cry and tell him how much it hurt…It got to the point where he stopped even making excuses. It was more or less “I know you know and I don’t really care. What are you going to do about it?” - Wife of a porn addict “The first night they slept together it was the same old thing: lights glaring, gaping at her body parts, manipulating her into positions popular in pornography so he could admire her. He was aggressive, he was confident, he was following a formula. It was cold. “I almost felt like he was in the sex industry,” she says. “As if we were performing on the porn screen.” Afterward, she turned to him and said, “Do you watch a lot of porn?” He thought she was asking because she liked pornography, too; it was clear he was impressed. “Yeah,” he replied. “What are you into?” Instead of answering, Valerie told him, “I could tell by the way you had sex with me.” Miguel was taken aback. He had no idea a woman could trace his moves back to pornography; he didn’t even realize that was what he was doing.” “I live sex the way it’s shown in porno. If I were with a woman and I weren’t getting the kind of pleasure I see people enjoying in porn films, then I wouldn’t be with that woman. I’ve broken up with women who wouldn’t perform certain things I’ve seen in adult films. In porn, the women have orgasms so easily. But it usually takes longer in real life for women to have an orgasm. I get pretty impatient.” -Luis, porn user

Quotes from Pornified by Pamela Paul (via antiporn-activist)

Honestly men aren’t shit. Women should own and run everything. Women are everything.

(via rad-and-i-dont-stop)

This seems like it would be a no brainer. Ppl, cause women have also started to watch porn, should see they these women don’t want do this. You are literally watching someone being raped; especially in the rough sex genre. What you watch, seeps into your relationships.

A quarter of a century after leaving Neverland and the stars of Hook have recreated their look to mark the film’s 25th anniversary

[lesbianrey]

did you know that in 1953 eisenhower issued an executive order which banned gay people from being employed in government

[lesbianrey]

and it was specifically to root out lesbians who enjoyed the job security of government work

[lesbianrey]

“To protect their careers, lesbian government workers moderated their behavior to avoid suspicion. They refused to socialize with other lesbians in public, attended social functions with gay men as their ‘dates,’ and carefully chose their wardrobes and makeup to project a feminine persona. Male employees who resented reporting to a female boss could trigger an investigation into her sexuality.” - Robert J Corber “Cold War Femme”

this era was called the lavender scare and was both a direct result of mccarthyism and the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness during ww2. over 10,000 lesbians and gay men lost their jobs and as a result the daughters of bilitis (the first ever lesbian activist group in the u.s.) formed in order to protect themselves and gay men

This past April, documentary photographer Sara Hylton travelled across Saskatchewan, where over 50 percent of missing or murdered women and girls are Indigenous—one of the highest proportions in the country. With help from Ntawnis Piapot, a local Cree journalist, Hylton met with community elders, victims’ families, and women willing to share their experiences. Hylton’s photos capture nearly thirty Indigenous people whose loved ones have disappeared or died. (source)

Photo captions (top to bottom, left to right):

Marcia Bird, Margaret Bird, Aleisha Charles, and Ariel Charles, all between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two, are pictured in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Happy Charles, the girls’ mother, went missing in April, and some of the daughters have since had vivid dreams about where she might be. They’ve been in touch with the authorities, but with little trust in the police’s ability and willingness to help, the sisters and their grandmother have started a search on their own.

Tracey George Heese, forty-two, sits on buffalo skin in a teepee in Saskatchewan. Heese’s mother, Winnifred George, was found dead on an Edmonton park bench over twenty years ago. “I think of all the buffalo that were slaughtered [here],” Heese says. “Are Aboriginal women to be sacrificed as the buffalo have? Not enough is being done, the Canadian system is derailing us.”

Diane BigEagle is pictured with her grandchildren, Cassidy and Talon, and their cat, Waffles, in the family’s favourite park in Regina. BigEagle’s daughter, Danita, disappeared over ten years ago, and BigEagle has been caring for Danita’s children ever since. “I want them to be happy,” she says. “When I get depressed, they get depressed. I have to make them think [Danita] is somewhere out there…that she’s coming back.”

Shayleen Goforth, twenty-seven, stands near Wascana Lake, where she used to spend time with her sister, Kelly. In September 2013, Kelly’s body was found in hockey bag, left in a garbage bin in an industrial area of Regina. The killer was a white man, a stranger to Kelly, named Clayton Bo Eichler; in September 2016, he was convicted of killing Kelly and another Indigenous woman named Richele Bear. “I had to forgive him to feel peace within myself,” Goforth says. “I was so sick. I went to my elder and I had a good sweat and a smudge, and I asked God, ‘Help me forgive the man who killed my sister.’”

Michelle Burns, thirty, sits with her ten-year-old niece, Dannataya, in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Monica Lee, Dannataya’s mother and Michelle’s twin sister, was murdered in January 2015 by a thirty-eight-year-old white male she had met that night. He received a thirteen-year sentence. “I feel lonesome a lot,” Michelle says. “I have to remember that [Dannataya] is watching me. When I walk, I try to walk with good intentions, so that when she’s older she won’t end up lost. Her mom would want good things for her.”

Mary Tremblay walks among trees in La Ronge, Saskatchewan. In 2005, the body of Mary’s sister, Julie Houghton, was found in a ditch along the highway between Quinton and Raymore. To this day, Tremblay’s family still doesn’t know what happened to Houghton before her death.

Fort Gibson High School sophomores used historical events of native people being used in human zoos as a way to show “school rivalry”.

This school is Cherokee nation, at a school with a large number of native people, and they mocked the trauma and oppression of native people.

The school principal and superintendent brushed off the issue. I’m tired of white people getting away with this stuff. White people and POC (including natives) with a colonized mindset will always use the excuse “well I’m not offended so you shouldn’t be” as a way to silence racism.

Guess what? Native American oppression is not an accessory.

‘Cage The Indians’ Homecoming Float Prompts Oklahoma Student To Speak Out

“Fort Gibson Schools released a statement, saying “With almost 50% of our students being Native American we are sensitive to the culture and strive to respect all people. There was never an intent to be disrespectful or offend anyone. However, it will be used as an educational opportunity that will be coordinated through our Native American culture teachers and staff.“The father of one of girls in the picture said his daughter has gotten death threats because of the post and said the situation was taken out of context.“

I don’t know about the rest of Europe, but in Italy the easiest way to spot a true racist asshole™ is to wait for them to say the word ‘race’ at all.

[anotherfrenchwarrior]

Same in France and I think it’s the same for a big part of Europe, that’s why it’s so weird for us to see american people talking about “races” here.

[amarperdona-deactivated20180311]

[feathersandblue]

The EU officially rejects the categorization of human beings into races. Because we learned something from WWII. Whereas US America is downright obsessed with “race” and someone’s descent and origin. 

What’s worse is that they take their concept of “races” and try to apply it everywhere else, which … doesn’t really work all that well (but when has that every stopped US Americans?).

[lesbian-ed-discourse]

Yall are jokes.

Look, we can’t do nothing if you choose to worship dick. We cannot help that you hate women and love men, and love males who call themselves women.

But we will not condone this utter bullshit

First of all, no lesbian asked you permission to be solely same-sex attracted. So fuck the hell off with “it’s okay” or “you’re allowed” when it comes to lesbians being women who are only attracted to other women. No one asked you, we do not need your permission.

Lesbians are women who are exclusively attracted to other women, period. No matter what that nasty ass Riley Justin Dennis has been feeding you, I don’t care about his grossly homophobic lies about being a **~*~*~*~**non binary lesbian transwoman****~*~**~**~*~

There is no such thing as a male lesbian. 

Transwomen who consider themselves “lesbians” are autogynephiles and fetishize lesbianism (x), and we do not accept, let alone welcome, them into our community. 

These gross men come around, put on some makeup and a dress, and all of a sudden they are women??? We do not accept that, we will not lie for these people. Transwomen are transwomen, and heterosexual transwomen (aka straight men in dresses) don’t deserve an inkling of our respect, seeing as they do not respect womanhood nor do they respect lesbians.

I’m not sorry, for as long as transwomen do not respect lesbians inherent sexualities, we will not “respect their identities”. Why should we? Transgenderism is pure misogyny and gender-roles repackaged so it seems appealing to GNC kids and kinksters. 

For kinksters, transgenderism is the ultimate way to live out their gross male fantasies of “being a woman”, and so many of them start off with “sissy porn” (x)

For GNC people, it’s nothing more than conversion therapy. Why be an ostracized, marginalized lesbian when you can be a “perfectly straight transman”?

Do you not see what your gross ideology is doing to young homosexual people everywhere? Do you not stop for even one second to question why hyper-conservative individuals like Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner are a-okay with transition, with transgenderism, but oppose same-sex marriage????

Are you really so blind that you think women are oppressed on the basis of wearing dresses? Do you not see how fucking misogynistic and sexist it is to equate womanhood with femininity????

Not all women are feminine. Not all women wear dresses and put on make up. So why is it that when a dude lets his hair grow out and forces his deep voice into a higher pitch he suddenly becomes a woman? Is womanhood really that easy to usurp? Are we really that worthless that anyone can be us, anyone can feel like us?

No. We are not. Womanhood is intrinsic to femaleness and vice-versa. I will not condone that you assholes tell young lesbians they are attracted to femininity. 

Lesbians are attracted to womanhood, to femaleness, not femininity

To say otherwise is extremely homophobic and harmful to young homosexual girls who are trying to figure themselves out. To say otherwise forces lesbians into thinking they have to date transwomen in order to be “good lesbians”, otherwise they’re just bigoted.

Whoever sent us this ask to our blog, which is made by lesbians and for lesbians, is an asshole homophobe. And we will not let you lie to our young lesbian sisters about this. We will not permit you to make women hate themselves, to make them question their whole sexuality and identity.

Transgenderism harms young GNC people, it harms lesbians. It’s hurting us, and we will not stand by and let this happen. 

We don’t care if you don’t love us, we don’t care if you hate us. We do not care if you throw words at us. TERFs or witches or man-hating bitches. We’ll take your meaningless words and crush them. We’re stronger than you, we don’t need your permission or your love. Women have been hated by society since the beginning of time, we know how to handle it by now. Now fuck off and leave lesbians the fuck alone, you creep.

@terfmeanslesbian here’s another ass hole saying all lesbians who are attracted to females only are “TERFs”
