Opposing messages: You are supposed to be sexy and love sex. But if you are sexy or have sex, you’re a terrible person.
This is why our young people are insane. (Not to mention our old people, and everyone.)

You mean to tell me that teenagers will still do something fun, even if it’s dangerous? My word! *clutches pearls*

Lindsey Weedston commented on the blog post The dangers of a gender essentialist approach to sexual violence 3 months, 3 weeks ago · View
I like to approach the issue by talking about getting past gender roles and norms. It includes benefits for both boys and girls – girls won’t be taught to be submissive and boys won’t be taught to be dominating and violent. Boys and girls and men and women can act however they want without being [...]

Lindsey Weedston commented on the blog post British politician and “Absolutely Fabulous” star advise women not to wear short skirts to avoid rape 3 months, 3 weeks ago · View
Yes, being drunk at night while being a woman in women’s clothing is “behaving badly.” When are we finally going to get to the point when we can acknowledge that raping people is the bad behavior? Men can get drunk and stumble around in the middle of the night without getting raped, why can’t we? [...]

I guess if they’re going to let the gays be gay, they might as well let the women soldiers be all the way soldiers. Progress, 2013!

Trigger Warning: Sexual assault, rape apologism, victim blaming, stupid people When it comes to the topic of rape, some people (the ones who would really very much like to NOT talk about rape at all) like to say that “everyone knows that rape is wrong.” These are the people who are obviously not familiar with “reality” [...]

I guess you’re always going to upset someone whether you use trigger warnings or not. But I agree with you, Maya. In interactions with traumatized individuals, I err on the side of caution. I think that the more humans work to take each other’s feelings into consideration in everyday life, the better our world becomes. [...]

On the spectrum of sexual orientation, I consider myself to be pretty straight. But I have had a lot more exposure to the gay community. What I was trying to say was that due to the physical differences between men and women. Of course, due to cultural/societal influences, the lives of homosexuals are different from [...]

Thank you, my friend, for that is a fantastic idea for a spinoff piece. I did briefly consider mentioning that this situation excludes transexual/transgender peoples, but I thought it would distract from the point and, honestly, I don’t know as much as I should about the perspective of transgendered individuals. In fact, I invite any [...]

A SYTYCB entry This morning, some Republican guy said a thing that’s making Democrats really mad. Is it what-else-is-new o’clock already? Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, creator of that one racist Arizona law. Meeting of the Republican National Convention Platform. Talking about same-sex marriage. This should be good. “Our government routinely judges situations where you might [...] -

A SYTYCB entry Have you ever noticed how men and women are different? And no, not just “down there.” More like “up there.” In our heads, where our brains live. Differences between men and women are biological, hormonal, and evolutionary. Think about it. With your brain. For millions of years the male and female members [...] -
