Lolita's Fist

#8thAmendment ~ Ireland. First choice is free contraception-on-demand, no age restrictions, no parental-inform laws, multiple access points that operate 24 hours, the morning after pill, and Copper-T information despite its lack of popularity with the capitalist exploitative-of-womens-bank-account patriarchy... many of these were provided by Planned Parenthood... and then, second choice, is abortion. Without the first choice, the second choice is essential. When Catholics and Christians fight FOR the first choice - contraception - then they won't have to fight AGAINST the second choice - abortion. Think about that.

One of those Bechdel-passers that drives women mad. It passes because two named woman characters speak to each other about something other than a man - it's one word, but it counts. "Mama."

"I had to rape her, she was wearing a miniskirt." "I had to be trashy, she called me trash." Just another blame shift from perpetrator to victim. Modus operandi. When we call them 'partner' they often don't behave like 'partner'. What do you suggest women do? Call them 'king'? How do we address the trashiness of men's behaviour? The #NotAllMen surely know this doesn't apply to them. Does the 'good man' in you say 'fuck it' when you know it doesn't apply to you? Is goodness not your pride to have? I don't feel slutty when men call women sluts and hoes and bitches. I go on being the person I am. Do you think men don't?

Irritated that Sally smiles after telling Glenn that Rolo tried to force her. Rolo did try to force her. Coercion is force, definitely not consent. "You made us drive out here, you have to give me something in return." But the smile implies that she got him into trouble when he didn't deserve it. Fuck that.
