To Oakland residents, especially those who are SW’s - -

We have received confirmation from sources that there is a serial killer preying upon the female street populous including, but not limited to street based sex workers.

PLEASE take precautions - more than usual.

Those who we have spoken…

I LOVE Louis C.K.

This is an amazingly written, deeply insightful post. This man shows an amazing strength coming out and talking about the thing that men never do.

 “….those are your thoughts and your desires. There is never, in any situation at any time, a moment where what you want becomes a bill of sale. It doesn’t ever work that way.”

Appreciate sex-positive, body-positive art, like this sculpture in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris.

This is a great page.

How is this even a thing? I’m a dude. I get it. Girls can be scary. They look just like humans, but they make Weird Things happen in your pants-area. It must be magic. They are the Gargamels to your dick’s whatever-Smurf-your-dick-is.

(Sidenote: the makers of The Smurfs…

Listen: I’m dumb too.  I didn’t spontaneously realize that sexism was a problem, I learned about it from people who understood already.  I do my best, but I could do better.  If I wasn’t so dumb.  What I mean is, I’d want you to apply this advice to me.  If I say something dumb, please never let it slide.  Help the people in your lives to be less dumb by never staying quiet when they say or do something horrible and stupid, because whether they know it’s horrible and stupid or not, silence won’t change anything.

So I was scrolling through the misandry tag and someone said there was a hilarious anti-misandry banner at the top of the A Voice for Men website. So I went to go look at it for laughs. I didn’t see it, but I did see this.

The New N**ger

An article equating the “struggle” of misogynists to that of black people.

Imma say that again.

(TW RAPE) So, you’re a dude writing/producing the star woman character of a popular video game franchise and you want her to have some character development, so what do you do? Apparently if you’re Ron Rosenburg, executive producer of the new Lara Croft game, you try to rape her!

So, they made Lara Croft look more like a real person. Woohoo! Progress!

But of course, like most clueless asshole types, they can’t think of a single way to inject some character development into her without attempted sexual violence, which apparently makes Lara “literally a cornered animal”. 

Fun. That doesn’t sound like fetishized sexual violence at all. It’s all for the story, man. It’s necessary. 

Of all of the things in all of the world the writers of the new Tomb Raider could not think of anything that can develop a woman’s character more than being made victim to attempted sexual violence by multiple “island scavengers”. 

Oh, and then there’s this gem of a quote from the article: “She literally goes from zero to hero… we’re sort of building her up and just when she gets confident, we break her down again.”

AWESOME! Let’s break down the woman character and then try to rape her! What is this, Tomb Raider snuff film edition? 

Oh, and here we go:

“The new Lara Croft isn’t just less battle-hardened; she’s less voluptuous. Gone are her ridiculous proportions and skimpy clothing. This Lara feels more human, more real. That’s intentional, Rosenberg says.”

Is it intentional? It wasn’t just a happy accident? Or maybe an unhappy one? You made a real, human woman character…on purpose? Oh man, you must be saints or something. 

I just cannot even with this. Every time I go into Gamestop and see Duke Nukem Forever on the shelf I get a little more tired of having gaming as a hobby but this kind of shit is just fucking ridiculous. This is what these assholes come up with when they think they’re doing decent personhood well. 

Just…ugh. Honestly I can’t even eloquently words about this I’m just a blind ball of angry.
