New York State Rape Shield Law
audaciaray:
Thought I’d blog the NY state rape shield law and its exceptions, since my last post about the condom bill has gotten people steamed up about that aspect of the fucked up laws in New York.
I would also like to take this opportunity to state that this is why I don’t think blanket “decriminalization” actually works in a practical application. I definitely oppose criminalization of sex...

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 ask and was “willing”, despite the fact that she claimed it was rape. Please reblog as far as the eye can see and sign this petition to...
I’ve Learned: People
racismschool:
Things I’ve learned since starting this blog:
What you write and what people read are two different things
What you mean and what people decide you meant are two different things
It is okay to not read a post but reblog and comment on it with authority
It is okay to not read anything a blogger writes but talk about “What they believe/think” about any given subject
If a white...

audaciaray:
Communities United for Police Reform will be launching our campaign with events around New York City, taking our message to City Hall, and to the communities most intensely targeted by these profoundly unfair policing practices.
All listed events are free, some have pre-registration or other specific requirements. For general information about the week:...

TW: Domestic abuse
Now there’s this macro going around of Rihanna and it says, “Rihanna’s IQ is 117. Can you beat her?”
And underneath is a picture of Chris Brown and it says, “lol already did.”
Just makes you want to lol, right?
If it does, unfollow me, you fucking assholes.

Woman in Comedy: A really scary thing happened to...
gabydunn:
Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and comedy.
Last night, I was...

Dear Academics,
workingsex:
You need to stop abusing sex workers for knowledge, money, and fame. If sex workers are being so generous as to offer you their time, energy, and personal insight into a taboo subject, you better find a way to give back. Historically, academics have used sex workers for their own professional benefits, while sex workers would receive nothing in return. That type of behavior is...

Dear Fassbender stans
zootzoot:
For those of you that are worried that those pesky abuse claims will ruin Michael Fassbender’s career well just look at Chris Brown, Sean Penn and Josh Brolin.
They are living proof that as long as you’re a man and considered talented or attractive in some way you can beat the living shit out of a woman and not only will you do just fine career-wise but you will also be rewarded and...

theriotmag:
I am sorry our culture has treated women so poorly for so long that suffering abuse to receive celebrity attention seems like a fair and reasonable trade. We have failed you, utterly.
We failed you when Chris Brown received a slap on the wrist for his crime and was subsequently allowed to perform at the 2012 Grammy’s not once but twice. We failed you when he...

Can I Just Say...
I want to talk about a certain lovely person who’s name I will not mention for fear of being killed in my sleep but…
Disclaimer: I love her too.
Okay, so there is this certain lady singer that won a bunch of Grammys the other night and sang on the show after having throat surgery. ((We all know who I’m talking about now, right?))
I love this woman. Love her voice. Love her songs.
Still,...
