Where's your coverage / blog about Corey Donahue being convicted of Unlawful Sexual Contact? Failing to include his dozens and dozens of hand-to-crotch escapades and finally being held responsible for it seems pretty "non-inclusive" when it's not even touched on here.

unfortunately, only one person runs this blog and she works 5 different jobs to make ends meet. if it hasn’t come across our dashboard or been pointed out/directed to, its likely to be missed. please, give us some links to articles and i’ll try and get something up.

I rather bitch about things... = Sorry, I just don't care about WOC. We all know that's what you're saying so you may as well have not. It's very telling that your response to those particular problems that you go 'mmm you're dividing us', just as op predicted.

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:39:06 -0400

not sure where you found on this blog the statement “i’d rather bitch about things.” please, point it out.

we care about women of color and are trying very hard to understand how things effect WOC differently than white women. we’re about education here, so please, educate us.

"As long as we live in a culture that tells women that being admired and desired for the way we look..."

Sat, 21 Jul 2012 06:50:44 -0400

“As long as we live in a culture that tells women that being admired and desired for the way we look is merely the normal condition of womanhood, something fundamental to our sex, it will be considered acceptable to evaluate women for their decorative value. As long as it’s considered acceptable to pass public judgment on women’s bodies, often negatively — to snark on and condemn and make fun of things that are truly beyond an individual’s control — in public, then it’s open season on all of our bodies. As long as women are in competition with one another to have the “best” body, we all lose. As long as there persists a single, narrow beauty ideal we are all instructed to live up to, none of us will live up to it. This game is rigged. There will always be some critic who can tell us where we are found lacking.”

"I’m all for teenagers not having sex until they’re emotionally ready and they’ve talked about safety..."

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:00:00 -0400

“

I’m all for teenagers not having sex until they’re emotionally ready and they’ve talked about safety and consent and expectations—but I don’t think adults should have sex if they don’t meet those conditions either. It’s important that adults don’t sexually exploit teenagers*—but it’s important that adults don’t sexually exploit other adults. I don’t think teenagers should see porn without context and perspective on how it compares to reality—you know how this sentence is going to end.

It’s probably true that it’s harder for teenagers to follow the rules of good sexual conduct, because of their age and inexperience (although having to do everything clandestinely and with no support system can’t help), but the rules aren’t fundamentally different for them.

“You don’t get raped because you are drunk - you vomit because you are drunk. You get raped because the rapist standing next to you made the decision to rape you and acted on it. The rapist is the only one accountable for going on to rape a person. End.”

Title (Max 100 Charaters) Report: Transgender woman threatened with crowbar after refusing sex

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 12:29:57 -0400

Title (Max 100 Charaters) Report: Transgender woman threatened with crowbar after refusing sex:

transfeminism:

Offensive misgendering in the following report has been corrected.

Officers arrested a Chapin man after he threatened [a trans woman] with a crowbar, sheriff’s deputies say.

According to a Lexington County Sheriff’s Department incident report, on July 8, officers responded to Sandbar Road in Chapin for a civil dispute involving a weapon.

Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the 51-year-old victim who said 48-year-old Samuel Sroufe threatened her twice with a crowbar after she refused sexual advancements from Sroufe, the report stated.

According to the report, the first incident occurred while the victim was in the kitchen. The woman said when she looked out the window she saw Sroufe waving a crowbar and displaying a slashing motion across his throat, indicating that he was going to kill the 51-year-old transgender woman, the report stated.

Deputies say a short time later, the victim went outside to sit on the porch and Sroufe came around the corner charging at her with the crowbar.

The victim told officers at this point she was afraid for his life, so she got up and began running around a table that was outside, keeping distance between her and Sroufe, the report stated.

While fleeing from Sroufe, the victim was able to contact law enforcement.

Deputies say before they arrived Sroufe dropped the crowbar and fled the area on foot.

After a search of the surrounding area, officers were able to locate Sroufe attempting to hide in a neighbor’s yard, the report stated.

Deputies say Sroufe was grossly intoxicated. Sroufe was arrested on charges of second-degree assault and battery and public disorderly conduct.

"Slut-shaming collapses the complexity of another person onto a single dimension. But even more so,..."

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 10:35:52 -0400

“Slut-shaming collapses the complexity of another person onto a single dimension. But even more so, given how slut-shaming is used to control and shame all women regardless of their sexual practices or desires, it conflicts directly with respecting them. If you say that you respect women, then you need to respect all women, no matter how many sexual partners she has, her relationship choices, or how she enjoys sex. Otherwise, you’re saying that that your respect is something that someone has to buy. I don’t think that that’s really respect at all.”
