I'm a Feminist, Dammit! →
This comic brings to mind a discussion (mansplaining session) with a sexist asshole I was set up with who, in the middle of several sexist rants, declared his allegiance with feminism and talked about his fondness for Camille Paglia (which was supposed to show me his “feminist” cred). I shit you not.

A Modern Sexual Assault Tale
Man: Hello, I'd like to report a mugging.
Officer: A mugging, eh? Where did it take place?
Man: I was walking by 21st and Dundritch Street and a man pulled out a gun and said, "Give me all your money."
Officer: And did you?
Man: Yes, I co-operated.
Officer: So you willingly gave the man your money without fighting back, calling for help or trying to escape?
Man: Well, yes, but I was terrified. I thought he was going to kill me!
Officer: Mmm. But you did co-operate with him. And I've been informed that you're quite a philanthropist, too.
Man: I give to charity, yes.
Officer: So you like to give money away. You make a habit of giving money away.
Man: What does that have to do with this situation?
Officer: You knowingly walked down Dundritch Street in your suit when everyone knows you like to give away money, and then you didn't fight back. It sounds like you gave money to someone, but now you're having after-donation regret. Tell me, do you really want to ruin his life because of your mistake?
Man: This is ridiculous!
Officer: This is a rape analogy. This is what women face every single day when they try to bring their rapists to justice.
Man: Fuck the patriarchy.
Officer: Word.

diggingforroots:
…constantly citing that 1 in 6 women are raped without ever specifying
1 in 3 Native/First Nations women are raped, and 80+% of the time by non-Native (almost exclusively white) men - and the cases are almost never even investigated.
The rates of rape of women crossing the border into the U.S. are so high that anecdotal evidence is that it is EXPECTED, but no actual statistics...

**Trigger Warning** Rape apologists, rape naysayers, rape deniers
Mr. What About The Men “The real problem here is all these false rape accusations that are destroying our society! 90 million men are falsely accused of rape every second! A woman just has to sort of mumble a word starting with ‘r’ and a man instantly gets a life sentence! There are no instances on record...

fucknodansavage:
I’m not a fan of Dan Savage. I really haven’t ever been, despite one of my best friends being a die-hard listener to his show, I just never caught the fever. Aside from his piece about bisexuality (and I’m not even going to get into that right now), his appearance last night on The Colbert Report (which isn’t online yet, as far as I can tell) was nothing short of enraging.

Watchmslorelei:
When my partner and I are in the nursing home, we’re going to shock the staff with our out, proud, loud, kinky sexuality. Anybody who tells us we’re going to hell will get an earful of queer theory and feminist theology, plus a stinging barrage of Bible verses. And when we’re too fragile to defend ourselves, our younger queer friends will take over. But we’re lucky — we’re in the San...
