wild, flighty, raw.

I think in concept maps and speak in metaphors.

How Times Have Changed

  • Me: And what are these things on the handle?
  • Tiff: The brakes?
  • Me: Don't you just pedal backward to stop?
  • Tiff: ... no.
  • OH MY GOD MY FEELINGS EXACTLY.

Is sexual expression and feminism incompatible?

lenachen:

Well, you know what? Trying to be less sexually expressive in hopes of putting an end to sexual objectification is a lot like promoting censorship in hopes of putting an end to violent pornography.

…

So why should I, as a woman who actually is in control of my sexuality, take one for the team and shut the hell up? Isn’t that a double standard? When it comes down to it, I simply don’t believe that the way to achieve gender equality is by restricting those who are ballsy enough to own their sexuality and express it (in whatever medium).

love it.

lenachen: So at best, it’s unnecessary; at worst, it’s nonconsensual and invasive — why subject your child to that? I honestly can’t stand children, but there are times when I want to become a mother, just so I can raise my child the “right way”. That means advocating science over religion, teaching about oppression instead of fostering entitlement, and giving my kid a good deal of autonomy (i.e. the right to make decisions, like whether or not he wants his foreskin cut off). I had a conversation about this (having kids to raise them ‘the right way’) the other day! In any case, love the argument against circumcision. Just a thought: on a smaller scale, it falls in step with debates around parents’ decisions to operate on their intersex children.
