I hate this

This about covers it

https://twitter.com/emrazz/status/1127208960895877120

Also I hate the idea that not having sex is a punishment for men but not for women - I like sex! Why should I deprive myself of it?

And lots of women don't fuck men anyway!

The idea of a #SexStrike - where sex is something men seek and women withhold - is the same regressive model of sexuality that Republican men use to legislate! No thanks.

Also a big part of the reason GOP men want to ban abortion is because they hate the idea of women having non-married, non-procreative sex! If anything we should be doing more fucking!

I'll stop soon, I promise. This just set me off

I get being defensive when people don't like your big idea, but these kinds of responses - to seasoned activists, no less - are really frustrating.

Like, telling the founder of Bitch magazine and a woman who takes on the fucking NRA that they're cool with women going to jail for abortion because they don't like her idea is wack as hell

Help women in Georgia by supporting the activists who are already there doing the work. Abortion funds & orgs like @MagnoliaFund & @ARC_Southeast are good places to start.

Some more abortion funds / orgs in the South (just found out Magnolia Fund isn't around anymore): @FWHC @FundMSabortions @YellowFund

For all the #women who’ve ever felt disregarded, ignored, used, or silenced – you’re not alone.

It’s a #FolkloreThursday - #WomensDay story thread called

THE GOOSE GIRL
Or
“Blow Me (One Last Hat)”

IMAGE: Title card for "The Goose Girl", Robert Anning Bell, 1912

Once upon a time, a long-ruling Queen had a daughter (who we’ll call Gigi, which is long for GG which is short for Goose Girl) who she loved very much. Nice to see some genuine familial affection for once, generally it’s the parents causing the mayhem.

The time had come for Gigi to leave home & travel to a distant kingdom where her fiancé, the prince waited. As she was Queen’s only child, the departure was, emotional.
QUEEN: WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
GIGI: Mom, calm down.
Q: [sobbing] I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n

community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n

this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...
