I don’t mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyonewho follows me reblog this.
I don’t think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don’t want to talk about it don’t ask), and it’s… really fucked with my head.
Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away.
So, essentially, I’m really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn’t get stuck in the same position I was with no way out.
I mean again I don’t want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot
and im asking to all of my followers who see this post in your dashboard to please press play to this video, you never know when this is gonna be useful, PLEASE DON’T IGNORE IT.
theres a rape joke in the fucking new video more clear than the last you keep that fucking bullshit off my dash im not even joking right now i wont hesitate
white people trying to distract from the realities of africas suffering: “HGSJSDJ THE NEW :HISTORY OF” VIDEO HAS A RAPE JOKE. DONT WATCH IT”
yall literally went to africa and raped people. thats not a joke, its what yall did. shut up.
It’s not automatically a rape joke just because it was mentioned- this video, although containing comedic elements and presentation, is actually a factual synopsis of major events throughout history.
Due to the humorous delivery of much of the video, the tone in these parts can become ambiguous, though the brutal acts committed against Africa are a large portion of human history. Consequently, they should be mentioned in a video covering the history of the world, along with the other sensitive issues the video is chock full of (wars, enslavement, colonization, etc.).
My girlfriend, who has more authority to speak on this topic than myself, noted that it would be more concerning for it not to have been mentioned, as erasure of the topic is more problematic than simply addressing it, even if it makes some people uncomfortable to acknowledge that it happened.
Myth: Most sexual assaults involve a black man raping a white woman. Fact: Amir’s study (Page 5 under “Race” and the summary on page 11) found that in 93% of assaults, the rapist and victim were of the same race. In 3.3% of the cases, black men did rape white women, while in 3.4% white men raped black women. It is more comfortable for most white women and men to believe a potential attacker is a man of color.
condoms are free because 40 million people died during the aids crisis, and the vast majority of them were lgbt+, sex workers, or both. condoms are free because people dying of aids had to fight tooth and fucking nail so no one else needed to. condoms are free because people were having real actual die ins as form of protest. condoms are free because the government laughed while the lgbt community was dying, until they were forced to fight back. condoms are free because they save lives, everyday. they save rape victims lives, they save lgbt lives, they save sex workers lives, ect. saying condoms are only free for the benefit of men is transmisogynistic, classist, homophobic, and completely ignores the struggles of sex workers and rape victims.
so the next time you bring up the fight for free menstruation products (and yes, you will have my support in that) leave free condoms out of it

The fact that men send rape threats to women they hate and want to terrorize is further proof that rape isn’t about sex, or attraction, or short skirts, or a “loss of control”. It’s about power, entitlement, and upholding patriarchy.
Excuse me but aren’t you the same bitch that molested your little sister?
okay but literally in his video when she’s clearly consenting, saying yes, let’s have sex, he’s into it but whenever she pushes him away he completely gets up in the video and puts his shirt back on. when she pushes him away the first time he leaves her alone/sits up. he literally stops whenever she wants him to and is just saying he’s confused at what she wants: does she want him or not? (+ in a way that he isn’t even A N G R Y about it, just confused) in the video he literally doesn’t show any indication that he’s forcing/pressuring her into anything ever when it comes to the more sensual scenes.
the lyrics arent even implying anything non consensual?? infact he’s attempting to clarify.. he’s just asking what she means…
Lena needs to shut the fuck up i swear
who would have ever imagined justin bieber being less problematic than lena dunham 5 years ago
American textbooks have plenty of blind spots, but Belissa Escobedo, Rhiannon McGavin and Zariya Allen offer a wide-ranging view of our country in their powerful slam poem, “Somewhere Else in America.” And it’s not a pretty picture.
“Because 1 in 33 men will be raped in his lifetime, men are 82,000x more likely to be raped than falsely accused of rape. It seems many of us would do well to pay more attention to how rape culture affects us all than be paranoid about false accusers.”
When Brazilian graphic designer Carol Rossetti began posting colorful illustrations of women and their stories to Facebook, she had no idea how popular they would become.
Thousands of shares throughout the world later, the appeal of Rosetti’s work is clear. Much like the street art phenomenon Stop Telling Women To Smile, Rossetti’s empowering images are the kind you want to post on every street corner, as both a reminder and affirmation of women’s bodily autonomy.
"It has always bothered me, the world’s attempts to control women’s bodies, behavior and identities,” Rossetti told Mic via email. “It’s a kind of oppression so deeply entangled in our culture that most people don’t even see it’s there, and how cruel it can be.”
Rossetti’s illustrations touch upon an impressive range of intersectional topics, including LGBTQ identity, body image, ageism, racism, sexism and ableism. Some characters are based on the experiences of friends or her own life, while others draw inspiration from the stories many women have shared across the Internet.
“I see those situations I portray every day,” she wrote. “I lived some of them myself.”
Despite quickly garnering thousands of enthusiastic comments and shares on Facebook, the project started as something personal — so personal, in fact, that Rossetti is still figuring out what to call it. For now, the images reside in albums simply titled “WOMEN in english!“ or ”Mujeres en español!“ which is fitting: Rossetti’s illustrations encompass a vast set of experiences that together create a powerful picture of both women’s identity and oppression.
One of the most interesting aspects of the project is the way it has struck such a global chord. Rossetti originally wrote the text of the illustrations in Portuguese, and then worked with an Australian woman to translate them to English. A group of Israeli feminists also took it upon themselves to create versions of the illustrations in Hebrew. Now, more people have reached out to Rossetti through Facebook and offered to translate her work into even more languages. Next on the docket? Spanish, Russian, German and Lithuanian.
It’s an inspiring show of global solidarity, but the message of Rossetti’s art is clear in any language. Above all, her images celebrate being true to oneself, respecting others and questioning what society tells us is acceptable or beautiful.
"I can’t change the world by myself,” Rossetti said. “But I’d love to know that my work made people review their privileges and be more open to understanding and respecting one another.””

I reblogged a post explaining everything the other day, but the gist is this: He supports war crimes and the themes in SnK that fans claim he’s condemning are actually ones he supports or believes. It’s hard to explain because it’s really not my area of expertise, but if you don’t mind doing a bit of digging I think I reblogged it last night? I’ll take a look for it in the meantime.
