Great, how serial rapists and sexual assault savants are made.

This is why my mother has made it clear to the boys in our family that this shit is unacceptable from day one. You can’t let them exhibit this kind of behavior under the guise of “oh it’s cute!’ and “boys will be boys” and then expect them to listen to you about it when they’re older. 

Perfect example of rape culture right here. Little dude just can’t take a fucking hint.

^ all of you, please be fucking kidding me. At the ages of these children, your statements would equal that of calling a dog a rapist for humping another dog. A child that is three years old does not have the cognitive ability to cooperate, share, or help other children. They simply are unable to see the viewpoints of another mind other than their own. They are unable to know how another person feels or thinks. They are just now learning colors, shapes, and the differences between night and day. Calling this kid a rapist-to-be or even trying to chastise their parents for enabling ”rape culture” is sickening. Put your elitest bullshit away.

Saying this is a product of rape culture is equivalent to saying that a toddler hugging a cat a little too tight is animal abuse. Ya’ll are idiots, they’re fucking children.

I reblogged this a while ago when it had comments like “Yeah you show him!, teach him no means no!” etc on it, and it was cute because it was in an entirely silly, joking way. The last two comments on this are perfect. They are like 2, they don’t have any concept of what personal space is or anything like that… they are toddlers.

I put a great deal of effort into ~scrolling on by~ posts that involve kids, because I have A LOT of “stop filming your kids doing dumb shit for the sake of entertainment” related feelings, but this one keeps popping up on my dash, so, whatever. My main issue with the commentary here is that yes, you’re all right in saying that the cognitive capacity of a toddler is far from being able to completely understand empathetic thinking, and yes, they are predominately egocentric in their understanding of the world; however, by saying that they can’t “cooperate, share, or help other children,” you’re taking a pretty big leap. It’s really all a matter of how advanced their EI is, but an actual developmental milestone for children (mostly starting around age 3) is showing concern for and trying to comfort peers when they’re hurt or distressed.

Toddlers might not understand “personal space” in the same way that we do, but they clearly understand physical discomfort. Unfortunately, that child can’t exactly verbalize that she doesn’t like what’s going on. All she can do is push. You know who can intervene though? The adult filming it. 

Also, you know, let’s bring this whole thing back around to rape culture, because that’s what most of the commentary on this post addresses. You know what actually lowers the probability of childhood sexual abuse? Teaching children about good touches vs. bad touches, the concept of personal space/personal bubbles, and that it’s perfectly normal to feel uncomfortable when someone invades that bubble. Additionally, defining and addressing the entire concept of body autonomy and “bad touches” with kids when they’re young means they’re more likely to disclose and talk openly about all forms of abuse if anything does happen at any point in their lives.

And that concludes this Shit No One Cares About post.

I feel like the less I say about this, the more likely people are to actually hit play. It speaks for itself and it’s more important than any of the bullshit we’re all looking at on the Internet tonight. A photo of Morrissey’ll get reblogged six thousand times but when it comes down to truly looking at whether “meat is murder” y’all are cowards.

Goes out to club without boyfriend wearing short shorts.

Gets drunk and flirts with guys even though she has a boyfriend.

Fucks said guy who she was flirting with whilst drunk.

“I WAS RAPED AND MY BOYFRIEND SHOULD FORGIVE ME”

Woman logic.

Shouldn’t have searched the “woman logic” tag. In that respect, I suppose I was asking for this.

Hey, I really don’t need to put this out there, but the first commenter on this picture is a terrible fucking person, yeah?

I know he’s just trolling for the sake of trolling, but I seriously worry about people who hang out with anyone that doesn’t recognize the difference between “fucking” someone and being raped by them.

Fixed it.

This boy will date whoever the fuck he wants.

What that boy doesn’t understand is the implication that someone should aspire to be in a partnership with someone else is bullshit, as if that partnership was integral to a full and happily lived life.

That kind of thinking engenders co-dependency and that shit is fucking oppressive, especially when it’s being fostered by emotionally manipulative turds like Mr. Boys Don’t Wanna Date Slutty Girls.

Protip, shaming dudes: No one needs to give a fuck what you think, and it’s none of your fucking business how others present themselves. If you’re under the impression that you’re surrounded by -insert sexist slur here-, then I guarantee the problem is entirely yours. 

This “girls who have sex are incapable of respecting themselves” rhetoric that misogynists and slut-shamers like to throw around simultaneously amuses and infuriates me. It’s a pretty easy way of suppressing and controlling female sexuality, and it’s very effective: even my mum, who is a very intelligent and fairly liberal woman, likes to remind me that sleeping around is somehow intrinsically tied in to my sense of self-worth (i.e. a lack thereof).

However, I can pretty much guarantee that my sense of self-worth and self-respect are high enough that I have the confidence to fuck who I want, when I want to, as often as I want to, and own the hell out my own body. Brosef needs to pull his head out of his ass and realize the reason those “sluts” fuck other dudes but don’t want to fuck him is because he’s an anti-feminist dinkwad.

I think my favourite part about all this is the “Why don’t you understandddddddd?” comment, like snagging a dude is the only motivator ladies have for doing anything. As if night after night we’re all just sitting at home, hyperventilating, weeping, and asking our friends why this gem of a human won’t date us. In reality, we’re clearly all too busy slutting around and fucking everyone else to worry about that.

New Comic Day! Add your own alt text for panel 4.

kateordie

The original text for that last panel was: “Ugh. Society dictates that I sit here and put up with you until you get bored or interrupted, because asking politely for you not to bother me might make you aggressive. However, playing along despite having no interest in pursuing this conversation would make me a ‘tease’ and therefore worthy of insult. Even though I’ve never met you and you’ve invaded my personal space without my permission, asking for the basic right of privacy would be considered ‘causing a scene.’ I hate you for putting me in this position, and you don’t even realize it.”

It didn’t quite fit.

I have lived through Kate’s elaborated text description to this comic so. many. times. Especially in the last twelve months, my Unwanted Scary Male Attention encounters have been through the goddamn roof. It makes me fucking terrified and furious (but secretly, because I’m afraid of bringing out the offending guys’ aggression against me or ‘making a scene’ if I tell them to leave me alone)

ASDLKFJALS;DKFJLAS;DKJ SO MUCH OF DIS.

Hey guys, you may not realize it, but women expect you to be psychic when they’re rejecting you. You took the time to build up the confidence to speak to a girl AND SHE HATES YOU FOR IT, HOW DARE YOU. She shouldn’t have to explicitly tell you she’s not interested, you should be Professor Xavier and just MAGICALLY KNOW.

There’s so much more behind it than just “I don’t want to tell this person I’m not interested.” Most of us are so inherently used to receiving a disproportionately angry/pushy response if we ever dare to honestly tell a dude we’re not into it (ie. The good ol’, “Whatever. You’re ugly/bitchy/fat/a cunt/slutty anyways,” or the ever popular and persistent, “Come on, don’t be so shy/rude, baby.”) that we end up just silently resenting the situation, hoping they’ll pick up on closed body language, and go away under their own volition. There’s also that whole pesky thing where we’re socialized to constantly assess the danger of all situations because the vast majority think it’s easier to tell ladies to follow the “rules” than it is to teach everyone about enthusiastic consent, and, you know, we could also talk about boundaries and perceived entitlement. It’s not that no one should ever approach anyone else, it’s just that we should all start paying way more attention to body language. Cute person smiles at you? Super babe shoots you a wink? Stone fox keeps glancing at you? Go for it. Attractive person sitting alone, avoiding eye contact, reading a book/talking to no one? Yeah, probably not.
