And now for something completely different: a sex-positive feminist protest!

It occurs to me that, between freaking out over finishing my thesis and my week of fangirlish anxiousness, I never wrote in here about the protest I helped plan a couple of weeks ago. So I wanted to take some time to dwell on that a bit-- what happened, what worked, and what didn't ( Read more... )

Wow. You're my hero. And so much stronger than I. I would have fucking shot someone in the fucking face.

The kind of shit that those counter-protestors were spewing would have absolutely made me perform ungodly acts of violence. I'm so glad you did this, and that you were so brave in the face of all that size-phobic, misogynistic, transphobic shit.

You are a total hero.

Awesome. And that altercation is really horrid. I'm glad you and Joelle are okay.

YOU'RE AWESOME. Girls Gone Wild disgusts me, but, as a nude model who makes a decent portion of her income from taking off her clothes, so does the unfortunate counter-idea that GGW and its ilk are evil not for their exploitation, but because it is immoral/unfeminist for women's nude bodies to be put on display for money. So I HEART THIS POST. <3
