Good point Anon
I’d like to thank the Anon that submitted an ask that’s under this post. They bring up a valid point. I understand that you aren’t agreeing with what I wrote, but you brought up a valid point that makes me rethink how I say things and to what audience. I realize that now, It’s not something I considered before.
It sounds silly to bring up and point out, but age does play...
Anonymous asked: Please respect the fact that your audience are young women who are too inexperienced to fully understand the implications of their appearance yet. The argument will always be emotional - because it's personal. In causa facts of life I'd like to ask your audience if they can think of any dress that accounts for sexual harassment or indecent exposure in itself. If so, what feelings or...
I Sauntered Vaguely Downwards: [TW: rape, rape... →
Something I’ve come to notice in the last several years it’s that it’s useless to tell a feminist she’s wrong. Even my mother told me that. But I’m stubborn. And It’s fascinating to me how I can write something that is not hateful, and get so much hate back. Perhaps our definitions of hate are different. I digress. I thought a long time about replying to this...
Update - Slutwalk
As I expected, I got a lot of nasty responses to my slutwalk post.
I expected it because I know so many people have an inclination to read and read what they want to see. They see a negative post about a cause with a good motivation, and see it as completely negative, chauvinistic, etc.
I can see how you may have read my post about Slutwalk and how I think it’s dumb, and take it to mean...
shhellebee asked: In response to your SlutWalk rant... maybe you should look up what rape is. Rapists don't rape because of clothes or gender or age. Rape isn't about sex. Rapists use sex as a weapon to inflict violence and gain a sense of power over the victim. That's right, VICTIM. Men and children get raped too, so does that mean they were being "provocative" as well?
theonetaylordetroye asked: just wanted to say that i as a man am able to control myself enough that i don't catcall at women who are dressed (as you so eloquently put it) as "whores", and that's called meeting the basic fucking standards of being a person. stop trying to control other people and police how they dress.

Anonymous asked: 80% of rape victims know their rapist. the majority of rapes are not by random men off the street. police reports have found that the majority of rapists don't remember what their victim was wearing. rape is not about a 'biological response' where men can't control themselves when faced with a provocatively dressed woman- it's about power, control and it's an act of...
I'm sorry, Slutwalk is fucking stupid.
Alright, I was going to leave it at just the title and let my opinion be broadcast without the obvious explanation. But the annoying kid inside me feels like I have to explain the obvious before I get a slew of hate messages from over zealous feminists.
The Slutwalk is fucking stupid. I get what the proponents are trying to do. And they’re right, just because a girl dresses provocatively,...
I think people who wear Ed Hardy are total douche...
true.

Watchi like how the video gets its point across, but it made me think about something I had never thought of before with regards to the gay rights movement - and thats gay kids.
The last scene is what popped this question into my head. Maybe it’s not a question. I don’t want to call it a concern. But I have to admit, it did evoke a feeling of….something not quite right when the two...

Social Media and the Future
I’m sure there are a ton of article out there about social media and how it will drastically change the political landscape of the future, not in terms of publicizing a campaign, but rather bringing into question privacy issues with candidates.
What’s one to do with all the nonsense they or their friends have potentially posted on facebook, twitter, tumblr etc?
Don’t get me...

Just Gotta Back Off
Sometimes you just have to realize when to back off. It’s not something I’m great at. I have a pretty strong personality and a pretty big heart. Too big in fact that in the last year I’ve struggled with learning how to watch out for number one and learning how to put balance when and when not to others before myself.
It’s difficult when you’ve grown up in a...

What the hell is the point of being a dual citizen when I can’t visit one of the two countries.
Maybe I should rephrase. I can go. My family won’t let me. They think if I go to Iran that some sort of alarm will be tripped and the government will be out to find me and make me do my compulsory military service, regardless of a 4 month exemption stamp in my passport…
