You'd think this intersection of transphobia and misogyny would be recognized as such

Why is this? I can only throw up my hands and declare I do not know. A combination of factors, I assume. Whatever the reason, trans boys are growing up seeing themselves constantly described as confused mentally ill girls their whole lives, and that no one has come directly to their defense.

I'm genuinely going to start sewing my own clothes at this point. Why is it impossible for companies to produce women's clothing (particuarly skirts) that: - is in a normal color pattern other than solid black - fits my size - is made from matterials that won't immediately explode

Right now, brave land defenders are risking their lives to disrupt the construction of Trump's border wall. You should donate to their legal fund here: givebutter.com/free-the-jag... And you can go to Lochiel, AZ now and fight this. If not us, then who? If not now, then when?

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

re: power. In a lot of circles (like many frats) its clear that participating in SA is a bonding activity, a sort of mafia initiation. When this happens at schools that produce politicians and others in power a man will rise through power networks not inspite of raping a woman, but *because* he did

"I would kill a rapist" are you willing to ask the women you've slept with previously if you've ever made them feel uncomfortable in bed? do you feel "above" things considered feminine? do you view consent as a box to be checked so you're in the clear or as a process of mutual communication?

like yes most people will flag if a group of men approaches a clearly inebriated girl, but if someone is asleep on the couch at a party with strangers and a guy claims that they're the person's partner and is taking them home will you also flag this as a potential risk

og post is how I feel hearing, "I would kill a rapist" it comes across as a self aggrandizing machismo when in reality most men will either do nothing, not realize a rape is about to occur, or not be the kind of situation/space where something as extreme as the Cornell frat house to begin with

A woman acting on sexual desire with one or more men is a bizzare, dangerous thing for which she must be punished . A man getting a woman irresponsibly drunk, giving her drugs, and raping her is so normal we should just assume it would happen sure as the sun rises

We understand that the death penalty is insane and immoral but we're not willing to ban it so instead we keep people on death row for decades and slowly torture them. I actually respect the firing squard position because its far more honest about what the death penatly is and also more compassionate

the difference between “a group of men hanging out” and “a group of men who all understand that this social group is built on the exclusion of women” is that the latter is a space where the constant undertone is that you can do and say things without being confronted by a woman

re: women's sexuality. The moment she says anything it is immediately wielded against her. If she's a lesbian she's a faggot. If she's even hinted at being sexually interested in men even once before then it will be taken as consent for anything that happens to her thereafter
