Hey all
My friend is trying to get signatures for a petition against Judge David Farrell. Recently, he sentenced 2 men to 40 months in prison for raping an 11-year old. Why was the sentence so light? Because she looked older than her age and was “willing”, despite the fact that she claimed it was rape. Please reblog as far as the eye can see and sign this ...

This girl, that was on my Facebook list, posted this image twice. I ignored it the first time, but when she insisted on posting it AGAIN, I had to say something. The part that upsets me even more is that just a week before she ripped me a new one for reblogging a tattoo of someone’s and saying it was horrible. She said that I had no right judging something so personal. And...

A nice little poem to consider...

Twinkle twinkle little slut Name one guy you haven’t fucked
That is an example of sex shaming Which can lead to rape and victim blaming
So before you are sexist Question why “societal norms” exist
“And if the girl you’ve taken for a drink happens to belong to the ‘25%’ group...”

I don’t know, you guys. I’m really at a loss here. I can’t find my self-respect. It seems I have misplaced it. Here’s a photo of me with my self-respect fully intact:
See? Look at how happy I look? I’m fully clothed and you can just see the self-respect radiating off of me.
But somewhere in between that picture being taken and this picture being taken….

People who bang on about ‘rape culture’ and say women ‘live in fear of being raped’, tell me, do you honestly think every time you step outside that the likelihood is that you will be raped?
Because that’s what you’re implying and I’m sorry, but to me that sounds insane. Do you really think there are that many debauched criminals...

helloitsimi:
It really annoys me how some people look down on others (especially, but not specifically limited to, women) because of perceived promiscuity. I myself, am not that partial to wearing little clothing or having lots of intimate partners, but that does not mean, in any way, that I am somehow better than people who do show off skin and have many partners. If a person wishes to dress in...

Knockout Barstool rally Feb 2nd
knockoutbarstoolsports:
Tomorrow’s the big day! Rally at 6:30 in the Freshman Quad at Northeastern, start moving to the House of Blues at 7:30!
Bring signs, megaphones, glow sticks, boomboxes, smiles, pamphlets, shouting voices, party hats, noisemakers, whatever you’d like!
dodgingtraffic asked: I don't know if you've ever heard of Barstool Sports, but it is a website dedicated to all things "bro" and is extremely degrading to women, often making awful rape jokes. Unfortunately, they have a huge following, particularly in the Northeast. A group has formed called Knockout Barstool (they are on tumblr & facebook) trying to stop Barstool's blacklight party tour....

Reclaiming "Slut"
andyoumissarenolady:
I’m reclaiming the word slut.
When I take control of my own sexuality,
When I take society’s tools of oppression out from under them,
When I say, “Yes, I’m a slut, now do something about it,”
I win.

slutwalkseattle:
Sluts and Allies,
Today we have the tremendous honor and pleasure of announcing SlutWalk Seattle 2012! Last summer’s protest against victim-blaming, slut-shaming, rape apologism, and rape culture, in solidarity with cities around world from Toronto to Delhi to Cape Town, was a phenomenal success. Marching down Pine St. and rallying in Westlake Park by the thousands, we made...

slutmeansspeakup:
The Slutwalk London team are making a film to change attitudes about sexual assault, counter victim-blaming and provide legal and practical advice for rape survivors. The current ‘advice’ given to women by the police and teachers focuses on our behaviour: not to go out by ourselves, get drunk or wear ‘slutty’ clothes. We are looking for people who have experienced sexual...

This is what my pepper spray looks like. For the record, I didn’t buy it for myself, my parents got it for me. As I was walking out of Wal Mart tonight, without it, it donned on me on how fucked up it is. Not only the fact that I need the weapon itself, but it’s color.
It’s like, we’re trying to make rape culture cutesy. Same...
