I think it’s absolutely acceptable to teach “don’t get raped” because it’s obnoxiously ignorant to think that you’re going to stop predatory RAPISTS by saying “now.. you know you’re not supposed rape girls right?” Don’t get me wrong, “don’t rape” is an important lesson especially for drunk college boys, spouses, and in any...

I don’t think that the narrative has made a class distinction. Most pieces I’ve seen about the Jim Crow South has made it clear that evil privileged white upper class were perpetrators too. So have most pieces about Germany.

I have a one loan with £48 left on it, which needs repaying by the 2nd of September. I have another loan for £140 that needs repaying by the 7th. I don’t get paid until the 13th. I can probably get together enough to pay off the first, lower loan. Just about. But the other one? Jesus, I think I’m screwed.
So if anybody out there at all would be willing to help me out,...

Cis privilege and voyeurism
authelle:
“156) I wish I was mtf… but I am and always have been female.”
First of all, trans women also are and always have been female. So with the upfront cissexism out of the way, let’s consider this person’s wish to be trans. This is analogous to the statement, heard only from white people, that they ‘wish they were ethnic.’ It’s like looking at sanitary, officially-released photos of...

I don’t think some people realize there is freedom of speech and then their is opressive hate speech. Just because you have freedom of speech doesn’t really give you the right to open your mouth and say offensive things 24/7.
thank you for this
Freedom of speech is freedom from being stopped from speaking in public forums. It is not freedom from consequences.

In the words you speak, in the ways you see the world, and in the way you hold your head up. you've got a strength I can't even believe to tap into. You've got a strut, and a beauty that makes this self-consciously awkward cis-girl jealous. Please stay strong! Go out, have fun, talk to people and be alive. it's more than the...

225th Anniversary of Shays' Rebellion. Remember.
voicesofearth:
225 years ago today, on August 29 of 1786, hundreds of poor, indebted farmers and laborers, all veterans of the Revolutionary War, united under Daniel Shays in Massachusetts to rebel against the new American nation’s lack of protective policies for those who sacrificed their lives to free their compatriots from the monarchy. Shay’s Rebellion, only months in length, was composed...
Got my motorcycle and driver permits!
Woo-hoo!
The only snag is that because I have a MA state liquor ID, I won’t get my motorcycle license issued automatically; I have to go in to surrender my ID.
But by this weekend, I should have my motorcycle license!
Poll: Which motorcycle should I get?
I need a motorcycle appropriate for a beginner that is also capable of doing 65mph sustained safely on the highway for a daily commute that is an hour each way. I’m also torn on style between classic chrome, American sportster, or rice rocket!

Motorcycle!
I had a blast taking the Basic Rider Course at Streetwise Cycle School (http://www.streetwisecycleschool.com/)! I just have to get my permit tomorrow at the RMV and finish up the riding evaluation on Friday and I’ll have my motorcycle license!
So excited!!!

Controversial? But this needs to be said.
slutrevolution:
The majority of people speaking at events like Slutwalk are cis white ladies and that’s fucking absurd. Maybe this is just a fucking assumption but I have a feeling cis white ladies aren’t the only ones who are called sluts and are sexually assaulted??? Just saying. Do I think that NO cis white ladies should speak? Absolutely not. But when it’s the whole fucking list of speakers...

If teh mens are suffering, why is the onus on non-mens to help them? Like, what feminists ask from men is to quit with all the raping.
