STFU, Sexists.: By the time she was done with MIT,... →
By the time she was done with MIT, Barbara had more or less decided she wanted to be a neuroscientist. She decided to go to medical school at Dartmouth in New Hampshire. Gender issues at med school were like the issues at MIT on steroids; one professor referred Barbara to his wife when she wanted to talk about her professional interests. An anatomy professor showed a slide of a nude female...

MYTH: Women who wear provocative or revealing...
Appearance and clothing have absolutely nothing to do with who is violated. Victims seldom fit the stereotypical image of the fashion model and get raped regardless of what they are wearing at the time, be it jeans and a sweatshirt, a sari, a g-string bikini, or a nun’s habit. It is often implied that when a woman or girl wears provocative clothing she is inviting an attack on herself and has no...

gublerwood:
I don’t know, you guys. I’m really at a loss here. I can’t find my self-respect. It seems I have misplaced it. Here’s a photo of me with my self-respect fully intact:
See? Look at how happy I look? I’m fully clothed and you can just see the self-respect radiating off of me.
But somewhere in between that picture being taken and this picture being taken….
My self-respect...

MYTH: Sex workers cannot be sexually violated.
Sex workers have the same right as any other person to refuse sexual activity. We tend to believe that a sex worker is unlikely to experience forced sexual activity as damaging. We also believe that by working as a sex worker s/he is inviting sexual attacks and therefore has no one to blame but her/him self. It is important that we try to understand the complex dynamics which result in a person...

cydne-should-be-sleeping:
Some femmes are dominant and some butches are submissive. Some men have vaginas and some women have penises. Sometimes what you call a clit is called a dick by it’s owner, and sometimes a dick is really a clit. Some straight men want to be penetrated and some straight women want to do it. Sometimes people aren’t men or women at all and sometimes genitals aren’t a black...
