Why in the World am I here?
I'm a person who has strong feelings about the world. This is my personal blog where I write about my thoughts on love, humor, the world, and everything else I think to talk about. Politics, racism, cissexism, and every other sort of 'social justice' will go here as well. I'm white, bisexual, genderqueer, pro-choice, and I'm sure a lot of other things that I don't have the room to list here.

I’m leaving tumblr for a bit
I have to finish class and tumblr is something I stay on for hours and hours and I just cannot afford that right now. I just can’t.
So I’m gonna stay away for the most part.
If you like people to always be around and providing you with new content, it’s acceptable to unfollow.
I hope everyone is well, stays well, or gets well in the time I am gone (and beyond!)
Later, homies. I’ll miss you.

my government is making it incredibly difficult to receive birth control yet expects me to not get an abortion when i accidentally become pregnant.
A lot of men will call me a slut if i DO happen to take birth control.
As a woman, i am expected to be a…

Someone handed me a sticker at a women’s rights march once. It said “I FUCK TO COME NOT TO CONCEIVE.” I can’t find that sticker and I want it back! Because what’s been lost in this whirlwind of abstinence-only, married-only, straight-only nonsense is pleasure. I don’t know about you, but when I have sex it’s because it feels good, not because I’m gearing up to knit some booties.

In any case, if we buy into categories of sexual orientation based solely on gender-heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual-we’re cheating ourselves of a searching examination of our real sexual preferences. In the same fashion, by subscribing to the categories based solely on the male/female binary, we cheat ourselves of a searching examination of our real gender identity.

I seldom raised my voice in protest [while my friends sexually harassed women] because I didn’t want to be uncool, to be perceived as ‘less of a man’ or challenged on why I found it necessary to defend women. This is what sociologist Michael Kimmel identifies as a deep form of homophobia: the fear that other men would challenge me, question my manhood, or even call me gay. This very fear led me to silently harass women and allow the others to vocally harass. I now realize that my worries of being pushed out my peer group could be tied to multiple forms of violence against women - when we create conditions where young men are constantly fighting other men to prove their manhood, what they will do to get props or accepted can escalate to dangerous levels. Ending gender-based violence is not about telling our sisters and daughters how to protect themselves, it should be about talking to our boys and men about we say to each other, what we allow to be said, and why we don’t stop when someone is being put in harm’s way.
