Not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal safety strategies. A woman should be able to walk down the street at 4 in the morning in nothing but her socks, blind drunk, without being assaulted, and I, for one, am not going to do anything to imply that she is in any way responsible for her own assault if she fails to Adequately Protect Herself. Men aren’t helpless dick-driven maniacs who can’t help raping a vulnerable woman. It disrespects EVERYONE.
What if men were photographed the way women typically were? I love this!
Sexuality stuff…
Okay, so Nathan sent me a text before saying “If I had been a female lesbian when we met, but nothing else about me changed, do you think I would have turned you?”
The answer is a definite yes, but the bit that is confusing me a little is the idea of being “turned”, because I don’t think I’m entirely straight…
I’ve never dismissed the idea of being with a female, and I’ve had crushes on girls before, based on both romantic feelings and sexual feelings, but I wouldn’t call myself bisexual. I’ve only ever liked a few girls, I develop crushes on celebrity females, sometimes I find girls sexually attractive, but other times I don’t, even with the same girls… I’m not pansexual, as gender is part of the equation for me and I have a definite inclination to like boys rather than girls. I wouldn’t call myself queer, or label myself with any of the sexual identities that fit under its umbrella….
So what am I? Straight with exceptions? Straight with an open mind? Am I even straight? Do I even need to label myself with any of that? Do I need to identify my sexuality, to define it?
Pretty much every decade was stupid I’m looking at you people who over-idealize the 80/90s People and popculture was pretty dumb then too And all through the 2000s
And I’m pretty sure 2010-2020 will be the same
There will be fascinating stuff in every decade
But just because it’s when you grew up doesn’t mean you should let nostalgia lead you into the “back in my day” mindset
Couldn’t agree more. It’s worse when people idolize the 50s and 60s. Yeah, they had cute fashion and some cool artists… But they were awful times to be a working class citizen. Especially a female one…
My name is Sarah. Previous URLs you may know me by include: jazzmaverick, rudeandnotginger and noelfootlong.
I'll warn you upfront: I'm a Booshlr.
I'm also a Whovian, Cumberbitch, Jedi, Trekkie and all-round fangirl.
I love everything British; I swear to god, I was born on the wrong continent. Seriously.
I'm in love with celebrities and therefore I shall remain forever alone. I am, however, rather content with this as I'm fucking awesome and enjoy my own company over that of most others.
On a more serious note, I'm a feminist, pro-choice, anti-war, LGBTQI supporting opinionated motherfucker, so if that sort of thing is too much for you, you may want to steer clear of me.
I am quite content within myself, I know and like who I am, so you don't need to worry about self-pittying text posts on your dashboard every five minutes.
I'm not very talented or intelligent, but I like to pretend I am.
