i think about rape a lot because i'm an abolitionist and i was raped in the classic Violently Raped By A Stranger way. when i talk about prison abolition with people i often get that push back of like "yeah sure but we still need prisons for rapists and for murders."

putting that guy in prison wouldn't have done anything for me or even for anyone else. rape doesn't stop because we put every rapist in a cage, because a rapist isn't a kind of person. and because everybody can rape and everyone might rape. rape also doesn't happen because of opportunity (not necessarily). it's like, rape happens because it is part of the processes that reconstruct the world we find ourselves in. rape is a force (one of many) that drives gender and racial subordination, which are needed for capitalism to work. rape happens because it has to.

black men and women are raped to reinforce racial hierarchies, women are raped to reinforce their subordination to men and to reconstruct the nuclear family, trans women are raped to dehumanize us. rape is a deterrent and rape is productive. we're raped because we are a threat.

when people say like "what about rapists?" i say there aren't any. i wasn't raped by a person, i was raped because it was necessary.

and honestly i think about rape a lot because it gets me off. and i don't think it's necessary to construe that as like a healing process or a taking back of power or anything like this. i think that all comes after cumming.

[fertilefloor]

rape is very plain and common and i think its elevation to this grave unforgivable absolutely tarnishing of both victim and perpetrator unspeakable act really serves to like, extend its usefulness to the status quo. i think that has to be rejected. i think everyone should talk about being raped. even if they are afraid the word doesn't fit. even if they don't believe what happened to them rises to that level.

it’s actually crazy how racist and shallow the writing for Kitt in the L Word gets over time, like by season 5 she’s essentially reduced to saying “daayyyuuuummmm these bitches be CRAZY!!!” about various bitches it’s so sad

[bayesic-bitch]

it seems like in bdsm the "rewards" and the "punishments" look very similar. this concerns me a great deal, because it points to a system of misaligned incentives. if we're not careful, it's even possible that a rational actor could deliberately violate regulations, because the penalties for rule violations are in fact incentivized. one shudders to think of the consequences of such an arrangement

you can tell trans women are women because we're not allowed to be sexual but also everything we do has sexuality imposed upon it

[calamity-corner]

you can tell trans women are women because we're not allowed to be angry

[calamity-corner]

you can tell trans women are women because everyone else thinks they know our bodies, our minds, our experiences, our lives, better than we do

[calamity-corner]

you can tell trans women are women because governments keep trying to legislate away our bodily autonomy

[cutecipher]

"But AI can't do your job. It can help you do your job, but that doesn't mean it's going to save anyone money. Take radiology: there's some evidence that AIs can sometimes identify solid-mass tumors that some radiologists miss, and look, I've got cancer. Thankfully, it's very treatable, but I've got an interest in radiology being as reliable and accurate as possible. If my Kaiser hospital bought some AI radiology tools and told its radiologists: "Hey folks, here's the deal. Today, you're processing about 100 x-rays per day. From now on, we're going to get an instantaneous second opinion from the AI, and if the AI thinks you've missed a tumor, we want you to go back and have another look, even if that means you're only processing 98 x-rays per day. That's fine, we just care about finding all those tumors." If that's what they said, I'd be delighted. But no one is investing hundreds of billions in AI companies because they think AI will make radiology more expensive, not even if that also makes radiology more accurate. The market's bet on AI is that an AI salesman will visit the CEO of Kaiser and make this pitch: "Look, you fire 9/10s of your radiologists, saving $20m/year, you give us $10m/year, and you net $10m/year, and the remaining radiologists' job will be to oversee the diagnoses the AI makes at superhuman speed, and somehow remain vigilant as they do so, despite the fact that the AI is usually right, except when it's catastrophically wrong. "And if the AI misses a tumor, this will be the human radiologist's fault, because they are the 'human in the loop.' It's their signature on the diagnosis." This is a reverse centaur, and it's a specific kind of reverse-centaur: it's what Dan Davies calls an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes. This is another key to understanding – and thus deflating – the AI bubble. The AI can't do your job, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job. This is key because it helps us build the kinds of coalitions that will be successful in the fight against the AI bubble." - Cory Doctorow, The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI
