so the Sasha Grey thing

In addition to the, you know, rampant misogyny and slut-shaming, the “I don’t have any problem with people who do porn, I just don’t want them reading to my precious, innocent children because they might suddenly start doing porn RIGHT THERE” just… ARGH.

All it did was remind me of how anyone whose gender identity, behaviors, or preferences aren’t oriented to the cissexual and heterosexual (and, in the case of women, monogamy) is automatically pathological. Like how gay men must automatically be into pedophilia and bestiality, or women who have sex outside of long-term relationships are whores who spread it for anything with a pulse, or bisexuals are just “confused” (if you exist at all! Or if you’re a bi chick, you’re totally into a girl-girl-boy threesome for your BF, amirite?!), and genderqueer or trans* folks or aces are clearly wrong in the head because it would be weird not to want to have sex and your doctor didn’t make a mistake when he scoped your tiny penis or vagina. Oh and also, everyone above, your pathology is catching, and your illness compels you to talk about it in exhaustive detail, even in inappropriate audiences, because if you’re not appropriately gender-identified and heterosexual, you must clearly have no sense of restraint, so like you’re just going to start going off about the lube you prefer for anal sex in front of a group of third-graders.

I hate that so many people think this way and I want to punch all of them in their puritanical misogynist patriarchal faces until they shut up.

I don’t know what scares me more about people who support Amendment 26

That they haven’t thought about the ramifications of attaching personhood to a zygote and privileging that over the person carrying it and are just rah-rah-rah evil slut-women must save the babies from murderous whores, or that they have thought about them and they just don’t give a shit because making an ideological point is so much more important than having any interaction with reality.

Good to know these fat bitches make their own problems. I always thought that unrealistic beauty standards are what made women go through lives hating their bodies, but it turns out that it’s just that 80% of women are just defective. No one’s telling them there’s anything wrong with their bodies. The perception that they need to be younger, thinner, taller, bustier, less busty, curvier, less curvy, shorter, smaller nosed, fuller lipped, blonder, hairless or anything else is all in their hysteric heads and never perpetuated by men, coworkers, parents, siblings, advertising, pop culture or anything else.

Nope, it’s all in our heads. Bitches be crazy, amirite?!

badwolfcomplex replied to your post: Why are people so surprised that you’re a feminist who’s against birth control? Since when did we women start being defined by sex?

This is a damn good point. Insisting pro-woman is pro-contraception/abortion/etc. is JUST as much defining women by sex as those who insist women “have” to be kitchen-bound mothers. Only the prolife position truly supports women as women—as people.

MY FOLLOWERS ARE SO SMART.

Wrong.

You (and some of your followers) advocate for the oppression of people.
Only the pro-choice truly supports women*,  by giving them the ability to choose.
And… you need more knowledge on what it means to be feminist.
Because to be pro-life automatically revokes you from being a feminist. 

 

The only way this would hold water is if the pro-choice movement were about making every woman have sex. It isn’t. It’s about giving people who want to have sex access to protection. It’s about allowing them to decide whether or not they want a pregnancy that can have a lot of damaging side effects and a child that will change their lives forever.

Being anti-contreception, however, is telling women and all who can get pregnant they should only have sex for one purpose. They don’t say the same thing to cis-men. Being anti-abortion is saying that if they have sex for any other purpose and get pregnant for it, they must do through birth, no matter what. The idea that that is pro-woman in any way is absurd. The idea it’s the only pro-woman position is unfathomable.

We do not define people by sex. We only want them to allow them to have it on their own terms. In short, something is not a good point just because it validates your false beliefs.

If your definition of “smart” includes the ability to ask questions such as “Since when did we women start being defined by sex?” you probably need to reconsider your parameters for intelligence. Because that is one of the most ignorant, ridiculous questions I have ever heard, and strongly suggests to me that you have not the first idea how women are and have always been defined by sex in patriarchal society, and how giving women access to contraception (if they choose to use it, for whatever reason and in whatever context) gives them the ability to control their own goddamn bodies and lives. Which is the fucking point of feminism.

I am able to have my body policed in any number of ways, ranging from my uterus while pregnant to my clothing after being raped.

I am able to walk down the street in Brooklyn and get friendly fashion advice from cops who are just looking out for my safety.

I am able to make significantly less money than my male coworkers, so I don’t have to confuse my pretty little head with all that silly money stuff! It’s even better if I’m not white!

I am able to have my worth as a human being tied to my willingness or unwillingness to have sex.

I bet you’re also sexist towards men!

There was one time I told a guy I didn’t want to sleep with him after he bought me dinner and took me to a movie. When he pointed out that, by refusing to have sex with him, I was perpetuating the long-standing marginalization and oppression of men—especially straight white men (he explained to me about intersectionality and everything, and how the same person can suffer multiple forms of oppression if he happens to be, say, straight, white, male, and middle-class)—I realized I was a horrible, sexist cunt and had sex with him immediately.

Then I went in the kitchen and made him a sandwich.

I bet you’re a canine racist…all thinking the felines are a superior race!

As a dog person, I oppress my dog every day.
