nothing much going on for me today; unless being a third wheel in writing class consists as remarkable. not really.
lately i've found myself disgusted with rape-culture, the MRA for defending George Sodini, and a poorly-made social commentary movie on rape at it's extremes called Dead Girl. i've also always been a bit of a feminist, so here it is, ( Read more... )

wow, what a strong piece of writing!

I'm so saddened by the fact that what you wrote really is the opinion of many guys in this world. I can only be thankful that none of my friends or family have ever held those kinds of views and that so far in my life I have been saved from those who do.

It's a scary world out there.

Yeah, I've been really into this topic for the past little while - rape culture and it's effect on women, most of which feel they deserved to get raped after the fact, which is ridiculous.

Frankly speaking, I can take a random example from almost ANYTHING to prove the fact that, in this day and age, women are women and men are people. That chocolate advertisement is one of them.

Actually, I didn't even think about Slut! when writing this. I was thinking mostly about rape culture, but also about a new zombie movie that came out called DeadGirl, in which a woman is repeatedly raped but it's okay because she's a zombie, and how George Sodini is so avidly being protected and even idolized by the MRA (Mens Rights Activists) for murdering three women because he was "lonely," and some of their comments on the topic, which, is you're interested, some can be read here

I did, however, think of another collection of essays I've been reading called Whores! and other Feminists. :D?

Ahaha 1) I have no ieda, and 2) I think everyone woman nowadays should be a little bit of a feminist, because otherwise, well, isn't that just a step back into the middle ages, when women were worth less than dirty bathwater? I think so :|

Oh my gosh, that should not be an allowed opinion. It's like the fucking MRA - who are praising George Sodini like some kind of god-sent because he was a little socially awkward and was rejected by woman, and killed three woman (and probably intended to kill more) because of it. Like, wtf kind of backwards reasoning does it take for someone to convince themselves they should be raped for showing a little skin? Guys can walk around barely nothing without even the slightlest inclination to thinking that maybe, just maybe they'll be objectified sexually. So grow up, world - if we can 'justify' someone deserving to get raped, then why can't we 'justify' murdering someone because they looked like thy deserved it? (Oh wait, nevermind, we do - warI very much agree with you, Sadie-bear. We, as a culture, ( ... )
