[plantasiasynesthesia]

I'm a working class woman who loves other women.

I like vintage stuff and learning ab feminism, racial equality, as well as gay, disability, and workers rights, etc. I develop short lived interests every once in a while (chemically stripping precious metals off computer chips is my current one).

I block liberally and I try not to feed trolls

Literal fucking demons

can someone just tell me who this is, like use an actual name i have no idea what the fuck is going on and i can’t pretend i do anymore

her name is hannah hays. she’s a porn star who has brain damage from a bad car crash she was in during her teenage years and she’s currently being taken advantage of by porn directors and her “”””””manager”””””. she has a like, emotional support lizard that she takes on set and they hold it hostage to get her to do certain things. she’s fairly active on twitter and occasionally posts things that shed light on her mistreatment but it’s usually deleted very quickly. 

yeah i watched an interview with her and when she mentioned the car crash she immediately started tearing up and clearly has PTSD like plain as day and that alone tells me that she’s not emotionally capable of coping with how traumatizing porn is and people still want to pull this shit bc they cant comprehend the fact that women in porn are taken advantage of. 

[its-turning-all-the-frogs-gay]

apparently showing concern over a mentally disabled woman being exploited = ableist

[femkilljoy]

Here’s some more from Hannah, if you didn’t feel heartbroken enough already.

[femkilljoy]

Here’s some more of how men will speak of mentally ill women in the porn industry.

[cisthoughtcrime]

can we please address this horrific part too???

the porn industry and the sick men who fuel it are despicable.

a traumatised and mentally incapacitated child desperate for money to support her family who didn’t even know what porn was and you commodified the sexualisation of the power disparity between her and any male paid to sexually abuse her on camera then laughed at her. this surpasses unforgivable. how dare anyone defend this.

[febfeminist-deactivated20230308]

This is so heartbreaking to read. Porn needs to end.

The faces of child marriage

Tehani, 8, Yemen. “Whenever I saw him, I hid. I hated to see him,” Tehani (in pink) recalls of the early days of her marriage to Majed, when she was 6 and he was 25. The young wife posed for a portrait with former classmate Ghada, also a child bride, outside their home in Hajjah.

Destaye, 11, and Addisu, 23, Ethiopia. Addisu and his new bride Destaye are married in a traditional Ethiopian Orthodox wedding in the rural areas outside the city of Gondar, Ethiopia. Community members said that because of his standing as a priest, Addisu’s bride had to be a virgin. This was the reason Destaye was given to him at such a young age.

Rajani, 5, India. Long after midnight, Rajani is roused from sleep and carried by her uncle to her wedding. Child marriage is illegal in India, so ceremonies are often held in the wee hours of the morning. It becomes a secret the whole village keeps, explained one farmer.

Bishal, 15, and Surita, 16, Nepal. Bishal accepts gifts from visitors as his new bride, Surita, sits bored at her new home. Here in Nepal, as in many countries, not only girls, but boys too are married young.

Faiz, 40, and Ghulam, 11, Afghanistan. Ghulam and Faiz sit for a portrait in her home before their wedding in Afghanistan. According to the U.S. Department of State report “Human Rights Practices for 2011,” approximately 60 percent of girls were married younger than the legal age of 16. Once the girl’s father has agreed to the engagement, she is pulled out of school immediately.

Sarita, 15, India. Sarita is seen in tears before she is sent to her new home with her new groom. The previous day, she and her 8-year-old sister Maya were married to sibling brothers.

Leyualem is transported by mule to her new home on her wedding day. The men later said the cloth was placed over her head so she would not be able to find her way back home, should she want to escape the marriage.

Asia, 14, Yemen. Asia washes her newborn at home in Hajjah while her 2-year-old daughter plays. Asia is still bleeding and ill from childbirth, yet has no knowledge of how to care for herself or access to maternal health care.

Mejgon, 16, Afghanistan. Mejgon weeps in the arms of her case worker near fellow residents at an NGO shelter run by Afghan women in Herat, Afghanistan. Mejgon’s father sold her at the age of 11 to a 60-year-old man for two boxes of heroin.

Jamila, 15, Afghanistan. Kandahar policewoman Malalai Kakar arrests a man who repeatedly stabbed his wife, 15 and mother of two children, for disobeying him. When asked what would happen to the husband for this crime, “Nothing,” Kakar said. “Men are kings here.” Kakar was later killed by the Taliban.

China, 18, Ethiopia. A young sex worker named China sits stunned after being beat up by a client. Many of the girls who run away from child marriages end up trafficked to brothels where they often face intense violence.

Bibi Aisha, 19, Afghanistan. In a practice known as “baad,” Bibi Aisha’s father promised her to a Taliban fighter when she was 6 years old as compensation for a killing that a member of her family had committed. She was married at 16 and subjected to constant abuse. At 18, she fled the abuse but was caught by police, jailed and then returned to her family. Her father-in-law, husband and three other family members took her into the mountains, cut off her nose and her ears, and left her to die. “I was a woman exchanged for someone else’s wrongdoing. [My new husband] was looking for an excuse to beat me.”

Maya and Kishore pose for a wedding photo in their new home.

Nujood, 12, Yemen. Nujood Ali, two years after her divorce from her husband, who was more than 20 years her senior. Nujood’s story sent shock waves around the country and caused parliament to consider a bill writing a minimum marriage age into law. The bill is still pending. “Don’t let your children get married. You’ll spoil their educations, and you’ll spoil their childhoods [if] you let them get married so young.”

[thevaginamonoblogs]

Talk to me about how women aren’t oppressed and I’ll kick you in the nuts and show you this.

[greenwire]

Bibi Aisha emigrated to the United States where she underwent several dozen reconstructive procedures and was adopted by an Afghan-American couple in Maryland. For whatever it’s worth, she is no longer living in the same conditions. I wish that could be said about all of the child brides in the world, but we know it cannot. 

These children were not sold as property to grown men because of how they identified. Their parents were not confused about which of their children to sell to terrorists and adult men. 

[21125679-deactivated20220401]

With Rajani, I saw that she was married to a 10 year old boy. Leagues better than an adult man. And that she would live with her family until puberty. Definitely not the best outcome but certainly better that others in her situation.

With Nujood, according to Wikipedia, her father never gave her the money from the profits of her book. She got married again in 2014 which would put her at 15 or 16 and now has two children.

The photos and captions come from a series done by photographer Stephanie Sinclair. The series is called “Too Young to Wed”.

From the United Nation’s website:

Too Young To Wed portrays child marriage, a harmful practice that devastates the lives of millions of girls who are forced to marry each year. Child marriage is a human rights violation that is commonplace in dozens of countries, even where laws forbid the practice.

The exhibition was organized by VII Photo Agency and endorsed by the UN Population Fund (UNFPA)

Suicide prevention sex 😭

[gnomebutch]

you don’t deserve to be lesbian unless you’re bisexual!!!!

[gnomebutch]

“You not wanting to have sex with me makes me want to cut myself!!” okay well personally when straight women don’t want to have sex with me I go “ok cool I respect that” instead of threatening suicide . I think you should reflect on your homophobia .

Second hot take of the day incoming: it's anti-feminist to shit on women for not being interested in sex. It's anti-feminist to shit on asexual women, women with low libidos, sex-repulsed women, even women who just aren't big into sex.

Women have been forced and pressured into unwanted sex for millennia. Sacrificing your body and your boundaries for a man's enjoyment is seen as practically a right of passage into "true womanhood". "Frigid" has been used as a pejorative against women who uphold their boundaries for centuries.

Shaming sexually disinterested women upholds the ideology behind thousands of years of misogynistic sexual abuse and violence. So fuck off.

[skepticalpigeon]

If you disagree with me on this just block me. Fuck off forever and ever

[theoretical-terf]

So,

Saying women experience misogyny from birth is TERF rhetoric

Being a lesbian who has never had sex with a man is TERFy

Wanting female only bathrooms, changing rooms, and gyms is TERFy

Saying abortion is a female issue and males shouldn't get to legislate it is TERF rhetoric

Feminine females must be TERFs because they're too gender conforming

Masculine females must be TERFs because they're not gender conforming enough

Believing women and children who get raped is TERFy

Only TERFs advocate for the acknowledgement and eradication of sex based oppression

Refusing to have sex with males is TERFy

Saying that men who beat women and get off on it are abusers is TERF rhetoric

What about any of this is supposed to make TERF seem like a bad thing for women?

“Why is rape fetishized by both sides of the binary” p sure what he means here is rape is fetishized by men and also (trans) women

[holycrownalice]

this was all but unreadable for me so i made a cleaner version for anyone else in that position! edited a few obvious mistakes so you'd get the intended message. there was one part i couldn't decipher though, you'll know it when you see it. tried to keep weird spacing/tilts to keep the original vibe but i think i just made it look like a ransom note. then again it's just as creepy (scratch that, it's worse), so honestly that works out fine.
