When radical feminists tell you that pornography is violence and leads to further violence, they are RIGHT.
I am a victim of childhood sex trafficking and pornography. I was 10 when I was sold for the first time. Men would often request my pimps to play porn while they raped me. Sometimes they liked it in the background and sometimes they liked to reenact the scenes they saw using my child body. Some men liked to take their own pictures and videos of me as trophies or to show their friends. The men who openly talked about or used porn were also the more violent ones. They hit me more and choked me harder. This isn’t a coincidence.
And before anyone comes at me with this being a small example or #notallpornusers - I was sold for 4 years. I have been raped over 1,500 times. I have seen countless men and many (if not all) were pornography users. I know what the fuck I’m talking about.
Radical feminists are right. Pornography is anti-womyn and if you use it you are not a feminist. Die mad about it.
Do you know Ariel Castro the guy who kidnapped 3 girls and locked them up as sex slaves for like 10 years ? It was made very clear that Castro was watching porn all day long and then forcing the girls to reenact the BDSM scenes. In fact the first girl he kidnapped he had everything prepared to tie her up to the ceiling just like in BDSM videos once he got her. He used chains, whips and would strangle them frequently. Well, he did many horrible things I won’t go into it.
But once on trial, and you can look for it it’s on youtube his last statement, he said several times he was “addicted” to porn. This is something that we know, that is recurrent, men are inspired by pornography to hurt women and children and animals. But we are asked to keep pretending this very plain fact isn’t a reality.By the way, I’m sorry all this happened to you yonicwitchcraft but glad you’re speaking up about it.
“Fat acceptance” blogs urging overweight people to shed negative feelings about their body image can lead to healthier diet and exercise choices, a study has found.
The fat acceptance movement, which seeks to foster a support network among overweight people, has inspired a plethora of blogs and web forums such as Corpulent, Fat Heffalump and The Rotund — an online community that’s become known as the “fatosphere”.
In a study published in the journal Qualitative Health Research, researchers from Monash University, the University of New England and the University of Canberra interviewed 44 fatosphere bloggers from Australia, the US and the UK about how their involvement in the movement had changed them.
“There’s been a lot of criticism of the movement that it promotes obesity and encourages people to give up on weight loss and makes their health worse,” said one of the researchers, Dr Samantha Thomas, a Senior Research Fellow at Monash University’s Department of Marketing.
“We saw there was a lot of opinion about the movement but very few people had actually studied it.”
Interviews with the respondents revealed many had experienced feelings of worthlessness, shame, crash diets, cycles of starvation and binge eating and laxative abuse before discovering the fatosphere.
“Having that support and feeling empowered, people slowly found that their health behaviours began to change dramatically. For example, many people suddenly felt confident to do swimming, something they would not have done before,” she said.
“People shifted their focus away from weight loss and more toward health. A lot of people started to take part in physical activity not as a way to lose weight but because they enjoyed it. Instead of pounding it out on the treadmill they start playing with their kids. It’s actually a massive shift in the way they looked at things.”
Shifting the focus away from restricting food and toward listening to the body’s needs could also lead to better food choices, said Dr Thomas.
“There are actually a lot of lessons for public health here,” she said.
“The term fat acceptance is really confronting for people. That’s why we have seen a lot of blame and criticism. Society tells us it’s not OK to be fat for a whole bunch of moral and medical reasons,” she said.
“This study shows that far from promoting obesity and promoting negative health behaviours, the movement is really positive for some people’s health.”
So basically, if fat-bashers actually cared about people’s health (as they so often claim to as an excuse for their intolerance and hatred) then they’d actually support fat acceptance instead of trying to tear body-positive folks down?
Surprise! When you’re not made to feel miserable about yourself, you become more motivated to take care of the self that you have. Who knew?
“biological sex is a social construct” doesn’t mean “chromosomes, anatomy, hormones, and genitalia don’t exist”. it means “these exist, but assigning roles, labels, and expectations to certain combinations of these characteristics is a social construct, and an unnecessary and pointless (actually harmful) one at that”.
so that means…gender is a social construct. like what we’ve been fuckin saying
i just realized,,,,,,,…. i can literally be the best version of myself right at this moment the only one stopping me is,,,.,,,, me ??? wild
Not to offer advice nobody asked for but fixing ur sleep schedule is life changing
Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: I used escapist fantasies as a coping mechanism to get through years of trauma and therefore never learned how to plan for a real life future
Alternatively: I went through periods of depression so frequent and intense that I never considered that I’d actually make it to my 20s so now I’m kinda just making it up as I go
THERE IS SUCH A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THE EDUCATION SYSTEM WHEN STUDENTS ARE IN TEARS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT AND WAKE UP EVERY SINGLE MORNING WANTING TO THROW UP AT THE THOUGHT OF GETTING OUT OF BED WHILE THINKING THAT THEY’D RATHER BE DEAD THAN GO TO SCHOOL
eleven thousand people can relate to this post. that’s not okay.
HALF A MILLION PEOPLE
That look into the camera at the end, though.
