anyway if you are in greater boston and need help after being raped contact BARCC: barcc.org/get-help/ everyone else, i invite you to donate or volunteer to help rape survivors: barcc.org/get-involved/

also somehow we have done rocket science but FOR SOME REASON these fancy schools haven't done shit in preventing rape

090

anyway stop telling young women to live in hypervigilant fear/caution and instead tell men to stop raping this is not rocket science

i'm pretty salty: 1) rape culture is at every campus not just the ivy league, 2) been on a student committee to support rape survivors and i know schools aren't looking at prevention, 3) news media has been hounding the "liberal authoritarian safe space" bs over rape culture over 10 years now

maybe the problem with college campuses weren't all the safe spaces but the rape culture

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

I can’t stop thinking about the Cornell rape case

Thank you! I agree that it is quite pretty but just not what I thought in my head!

ratings: Cal has boring anodyne non-specific letters but great articles Harvard has very loud opinionated letters but boring articles Colby-Sawyer does not have a letters section and is the most normal of the bunch

Yes, country fans skew conservative and Christian, and country music artists will cater to that audience. Circling back to the quoted OP: So is it fair that he just flattened the characters in a country song into MAGA? Maybe it is.

I am also old enough to remember when The Chicks were openly anti-war and critical of GWB. That killed their career because country fans didn't like their politics.

Anyway, if you know country, you do know "not all country". So if you don't like country's aesthetic, that's fine but don't make it about how the music is worse because what does that mean anyway.

"Oh you New Englanders are just nasty, snooty, and mean!" Why, thanks. But seriously, Ella Langley is publicly apolitical but has a history of performing with Trump supporters so.

I know the hook since the song played a few times on my Spotify daylist. Curious, I watched the music video and OP is accurate. (The video is also in a style that I personally hate but that's not the point.)

"But how will awkward men learn to flirt???" Dunno. Get some anxiety meds, practice in front of a mirror, get rejected multiple times, respect women, and maybe you'll get someone who will want to date and/or fuck you!

I am pro-orgy, pro-sex cons! (We have Sex Week in Boston.) But I am also pro-vetting, pro-exclusion based on nasty vibes, pro-boundaries such as "not everyone gets to touch my body", and pro-respect such as "I do not get to touch everyone's body".

1171

The con is a bunch of people inexperienced with social interaction and boundaries testing that out IRL, increasing the risk of something going REALLY wrong. I don't think it's worth the time, money, or risk.

191

Yes, I get that it's opt-in and I hope that the women are very well compensated for their time, work and energy, but I think that one does not need an entire con for this but interactive training videos or really, basic sex ed and feminism.

2131

I have been seeing whispers about SlutCon, and while the idea may be .. okay??? .. without the context of a sexist, sex-shaming world, I think that centering the desires of awkward men over the basic human right of bodily autonomy and boundaries for women is bullshit.

It ran on my Spotify daylist a few times and then disappeared.

"girl" is a philosophy, a lifestyle, a state-of-mind

Anyway watching someone recreate the hierarchy of erotica, calling all basic and vulgar titillation “pornography” and the elevated arousal of the senses “erotic” while intentionally reifying anti-SW ideas.

David Quammen's essay in The New York Times today closes with this paragraph. It's both a scientific falsehood, and an incredibly dangerous narrative. If you're willing to give me five minutes of your time, I'd like to explain why.

The Ebola virus doesn’t need to spill back. It abides in its reservoir host, and awaits its next opportunity. A virus can’t climb out of a bat or a monkey and fly off in search of human prey. It can only spill over. If humans left the reservoir host alone — not hunting it, not capturing it, not eating it, not exporting it live, not disturbing its forest habitat — the virus wouldn’t re-emerge in humans. It would remain where it is, harming no one. But of course that’s not what happens. And when viruses spill, they often spill into us, because the human population is such a big, busy target.
