Day 39: 100% Whore

Marriage is not consent. 

"Objectifying others is not our birth right."

"I don't want my child to be born into a society that accepts sexual violence."

"The hosts of Fox & Friends and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani accused Beyonce of not providing “wholesome” entertainment at Sunday’s Super Bowl 50 because her performance was a tribute to Black Lives Matter and the Black Panthers.

“I couldn’t really make out what Beyonce was saying,” Fox News host Brian Kilmeade admitted on Monday. “But at the end, we find out Beyonce dressed up in a tribute to the Black Panthers, went to a Malcolm X formation. And the song, the lyrics, which I couldn’t make out a syllable, were basically telling cops to stop shooting blacks!”

"Hey, nice stems!"
"I love you!"
"You're beautiful!"
"Why don't you smile?"
"Fine, BITCH."
"You're ugly anyway."
"Prude!"
"Slut!"
"Don't walk away from me!"

"Reza Gul, 20, was attacked by her husband on Sunday after arguing with him over his decision to take a 6- or 7-year-old niece as his fiancée, Gul's mother, Zarghona, told the Times. Gul's husband, Muhammad Khan, 25, then allegedly cut off her nose with a knife. Khan and his family had beaten and abused Gul throughout her six-year marriage, Zarghona added."

"You can compliment me by respecting me."

Talking to a friend about games I don't like. I bring up games I don't like usually with "And this guy was sexist" added to the end. My friend goes: "That's how most of your stories are. I think you hate that you've met gross people who happen to be men and associate that with the game."

My thought is that I've met good people at some games who happen to be men. I default that men are sexist.

A friend doesn't want to host games at her house because she's uncomfortable having male acquaintances or new faces in her house when her male partner isn't home.

"The whole point, which you feminists unsurprisingly missed, is that women often will hit and slap men around and then go "You can't hit me! I'm a woman!" By saying "We can punch you now", we're pointing out that equality include the good and the bad."

"So if women are equal can I punch you?"

" I just got told that I'm an angry lesbian who can't take a joke because I failed to laugh at a joke about domestic violence."

"From the start, this case has evoked powerful emotions. Many of us hoped Mr. Ghomeshi’s accusers would prevail, and that they would help give voice to the many silent victims of sexual assault who have never been heard. If the case collapses – as seems increasingly likely – lots of people will be outraged, and will want to know why. And other people will wonder if there ever really was a case at all."

"When three women came forward in the fall of 2014 to press criminal charges against Jian Ghomeshi for sexual assault, many of us cheered them on. More than a dozen women, both on and off the record, had already described a pattern of odious behaviour over many years – alleged incidents of punching, slapping, choking, and hair-pulling that came out of the blue and were not consensual. It was past time for a reckoning. It was past time to send a signal to all abusers: We won’t take this any more."

"As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed the ways in which my or others’ supposed state of being “too sensitive” has been used to justify daily microaggressions and overt instances of oppression:

A white friend became outraged when I wouldn’t let her touch my hair; a classmate claimed that racism ended once Obama was elected and that we’re “making too much fuss”; and countless other examples that show ignorance, privilege, and a lack of empathy." 

An application to date a daughter. Like a job application.

"Beyoncé isn't fat. But I and many others are. And we have the ability to stop allowing that word to be an insult. We have the ability to see it as a trait or an identity or nothing of consequence — whatever happens to feel right."

"But as a woman who identifies as fat, my issue goes beyond "Beyoncé isn't fat." It's very obvious that she isn't, and anyone who's opinion I remotely care about would likely agree with that sentiment. My issue is that the more we keep using fatness as a means of verbally abusing someone, and the more we apply it to individuals who cannot attest to the experiences of living in a fat body, the more invalidated the experiences of living in said fat body seem to become. The more we begin to lose something that, for many of us who give a shit about body positivity and fat positivity, has become something of an identity."

"For a solid 12+ hours, Twitter has been gracing us with comments like, "Beyoncé is fat, I'm glad they only gave her one song," to "How Beyoncé getting fat? I thought she was a vegan," to "Beyoncé missteps during squat at Super Bowl halftime performance, when her fat ass drags the rest with it." Search "Beyoncé fat Super Bowl" on the social media platform, and you'll see that there's no shortage of vitriol."

"Cat calling isn't harassment. It's flattery." 

"Men are human too. Fake cases."

"Men's rights are human rights."

" Feminism is cruelty."

"FeminismTerrorism"

"Justice to men is women's responsibility too." 

"Crime has no gender." AN MRA says to a feminist.

"But there are still people who believe that women forfeit their right to sexual agency and sovereignty when they're drunk or out with men they don't know or flirting or talking with them or kissing them or behaving as if they live in some kind of fantasy la la land where women might actually have an equal right to decide when and where sex is consensual and not just have it forced upon them. Sometimes they work at the Department of Public Prosecutions. Others are the witnesses who make judgments about how women were behaving in bars. Still others are the friends and family members who eagerly await the day their sons are released from the 'nightmare' of a vengeful slut who got what she was asking for and then cried foul afterwards.

These people walk among us, and they protect rapists. They are the first people to enforce rape culture and the first to deny it exists. They don't want to accept that this is what a rapist looks like - not like a monster, but like their son, their brother, their friend, their colleague, their customer, their mate, their boyfriend or their husband."

"Why, for example, do people come out in droves to defend sports stars accused of similar crimes? Why are we bombarded with examples from our supposedly 'civilised' countries that show entire communities siding with the young men who rape women at parties because they're 'good boys' who 'made a mistake' and 'what else could they be expected to do when she was drinking?'"

"On Monday, news outlets revealed that three men guilty of raping a young Norwegian woman in Croatia would be returning home after paying the victim $30,000 in settlement and avoiding imprisonment for their crime. Dylan Djohan, Ashwin Kumar and Waleed Latif pleaded guilty to the July 2015 assault and received one year prison terms which were immediately commuted to a five year good behaviour bond."

A fabulous mock article of the CDC's release of telling fertile women not to drink. "Men who could potentially interact with women should avoid alcohol consumption, federal health officials should have advised on Thursday, a move that could drastically reduce incidents of men beating the shit out of women.

Studies have shown high correlation with male alcohol consumption and rates of violence against women, from date rape to intimate partner violence to femicide. According to the World Health Organization, male alcohol consumption represents one of six key risk factors in intimate partner violence.[1] “Alcohol consumption, especially at harmful and hazardous levels is a major contributor to the occurrence of intimate partner violence and links between the two are manifold,” The World Health Organization reports. “Studies of intimate partner violence routinely identify recent consumption of alcohol by perpetrators.”"

"Rapists are gonna rape, it's what they do (not saying it's right btw) it's why they are called rapists. therefore when a female (or male cuz yes men can be raped too) dresses provocatively or acts slutty or gets chocolate shwasted at a party then yeah no shit the rapist is gonna rape. IT'S WHAT THEY DO."

More from the pro-rape crowd. "A female should always be cautious, and mindful of the potential for rape."

Someone defending rape. "There are actual cases documented of women who enjoy rape - they wonder what chosen sex would have been like with the rapist - is what they say"

"This shit again? Ladies, can you please stop treating all men as rapists? And yes, having a fear of men is misandry because youre justifying it by the actions of the VERY VERY VERY FEW. And no, 1 in 6 ARE NOT BEING RAPED."

A thread on rape and stats. One commenter: "This post I feel is kind-of putting fear in women, to be afraid of men. Not all men are animal's like that."

Man comments on the shark analogy: "The only reason this is true is because sharks aren't on land(In case you didn't know), and humans are on land about 99 percent of the time. So of course women are raped by humans more often-There is a much much much much higher chance of a human encountering a human than a shark. If humans were in the ocean as much as the land, we would be extinct."

White background, black text: "‪#‎YesAllWomen‬ because the odds of getting attacked by a shark are 1 in 3,748,067, while a woman's odds of being raped are 1 in 6... yet fear of sharks is seen as rational while being cautious of men is seen as misandry."

Beyoncé is unapologetically black, Southern and feminist.

There’s also a layer of unapologetic feminism present here. “I slay” is a term used to showcase bravado—a trait Beyonce is accustomed to. Yes, she loves her husband, her baby, and her career, but she loves herself most of all. And she’s telling other Black women to come into formation to embrace pleasure and self-love, and reject those who tell us we’re unworthy of both. There’s no need to cower or be humble when our patron saint of pop stars may be a billionaire before 40. She, literally, tells black women how she’s achieved her success: “I see it, I want it… I dream it, I work hard. I grind 'til I own it.” “Formation” is the black female version of “Lean In.”

During the 19th century, when White people sought out the right of ruling the black people, South Africans became the victim of slave trading. Saartjie Baartman, a young woman with large buttocks, was also one of the victims of this inhumane act. She was sold to Europeans due to her rarely seen body shape. She was forced to display herself and especially her huge buttocks in circuses to entertain white people. She was insulted for being a black woman and in her entire life, she was pressurized to do what she had never expected from herself.

New study finds that human brains do not fit neatly into “male” and “female” categories. ‪

An article on male and female brains: “There is no sense in talking about male nature and female nature,” Joel says. “There is no one person that has all the male characteristics and another person that has all the female characteristics. Or if they exist they are really, really rare to find.”

100% whore.

Man talks about sex workers: "There's definitely a difference btwn sex work and labour. Athletes and labourers sell their effort. Sex workers are selling what should be private and sacred to them. I think sex is a beautiful and intimate thing, and I'd find it difficult to believe that most sex workers aren't permanently emotionally damaged in some way by what they've done, or what's been done to them."

Tweet: "If you think sex work is 'selling your body,' but athletes, manual laborers aren't, etc, it's a moral hangup you've got, and that's on you."

An interesting-looking new comedy, Parched, centers on the stories of Indian women who are terrorized by the men in their lives
