Due process? Hello..hello? Is this thing on? I need to hear again how our present system of justice is serving the needs of all people in society… https://artemiswasamerf.tumblr.com/post/178505909488/well-lets-see-danny-masterson-had-3-women-as Things are not okay. The status quo is currently unacceptable and must be changed.

Dead Wild Roses: The Neurobiology of Sexual Assault – Why Do We Have ‘Unnaturally’ High Attrition Rate for Sexual Assault?
Watch the presentation or read the full transcript here. Now watch what happens when we bring an empirical fact based approach to understanding why our justice system is broken when it comes to sexual assault. So, now we have some evidence of what is happening to people who have experienced
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Support Survivors – #WhyIDidntReport
How does one seek justice through the ‘justice system’ when it has been formatted in certain situations not to not produce just results? Case in point: Sexual Assault in our society. Our system of laws surrounding this area are broken and need to be fixed because justice is not being
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Choosey Choices are Not Empowering – Prostitution
The people who wish to maintain the patriarchal status quo are not stupid. The ‘blue light campaign’ is evidence of this, as it seeks to normalize the abuse and trauma that are inherent in female prostitution. I offer a handy rule of thumb when it comes to ’empowering ideas’ put
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: When Equal Treatment Under the Law is a F*cking Joke – A Rape Survivors Experience
This is the problem, heroic male defenders of rule of law. Your system doesn’t serve and protect half of the damn population. So before the words equality and justice pass in from your lips, take a goddamn reflective moment and see the systemic problems affecting the entire process and realize
Continue readingA Puff of Absurdity: On Anita Hill
My time at university was split down the middle by the news of the Montréal Massacre, and the subsequent years were plagued with fears of the Scarborough rapist. We proactively organized walking groups to move around on and off campus, started a “No Means No” campaign, and then, at one
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Women Die More From Heart Attacks Than Men – Unless the ER Doc is Female
Fancy that, eh? Just another way the system known as patriarchy in our society expresses itself. Women are not listened to or taken seriously, even in life and death situations. Kinda hard to be successful in society when your words are taken, by default, as less than face value.
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The DWR Feminist Quote of the Day – ‘If sex is irrelevant, why are female people always the ones expected to cede linguistic and physical ground?’ – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie “
“There has been little acknowledgement of the way in which trans politics demands far more of women than it does of men, perhaps because this would require an acknowledgement of the fact that male/female remains as much, if not more, of a dominant axis of oppression as trans/cis. Why aren’t
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Combating Urban Alienation – Communal Bathing and Public Bath Houses
At first blush, it seems a bit quaint and slightly repulsive to think that a communal bathing facility would be a good thing for our society. I do however, recognize that my initial distaste for the idea is centred on what here in the West we like to call our
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Patriarchy – Seen.
Societal norms are mostly patriarchal norms. Being portrayed a certain way, and being expected to act a certain way certainly couldn’t affect one’s prospects in society… And that is it, right there folks. Unless you take the time to try and understand the situations and particular challenges people face in
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Clueless Dudes on Display – Traditional Gender roles hurt Men and Women Equally…
The bone jarring stupid is so prevalent in the dude class. Like I can understand that you benefit from the current unjust system and really, because you are not particularly downtrodden, haven’t given any thought to the topic at hand. But, seriously, have the common decency to listen when others
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Female Socialization Sucks – The Female Disadvantage in Society
Huh. It seems that even the New York Times acknowledges that something may be up with the way we socialize females in our society. Similar results could be gleaned if say oh, we actually listened when women spoke and took what they said seriously. “The census data on the labor

I just finally got around to Angela Nagle’s Kill All Normies. It’s a comprehensive book outlining the history and categorization of various groups online that have seeped into real life, but, although she mentions numerous scholars in her analysis, with zero endnotes and nary a reference section, it didn’t surprise

Here’s how I see it: If two people who are equally matched have a fight, the loser can still save face. It was a fair fight and someone had to lose. He might win next time. But if two people unequally matched have a fight, and the weaker of the

Good to know the meanings of terms when they come up. 🙂 http://vuvaliniterf.tumblr.com/post/176915314886

Just watching the manly magic in action. I apologize for the acronym heavy preface, it hurts the rational brain, but it is an example of the language and ideology being used to push women (adult human females) to the margins. Also, this example #439024 of why movements cannot be all-inclusive.

I’m getting fatigued with my #femaleexperience tag. Then I think that if just describing the situation is fatiguing then living it, with no respite, is demonstrably worse. So yeah, off I go, not renewed, but persisting anyways. How society interacts with you depends on which classes you happen to inhabit,

With thorough argumentation and heavily footnoted facts brought to the table, Down Girl, by Kate Manne delineates misogyny from sexism and hopes “to offer a useful toolkit for asking, answering, and debating” (13) issues centred around misogyny. Right off the bat, let’s clarify that it’s not remotely a man-hating thesis.

Growing up female in society is a terrible gauntlet to navigate. https://smolangrypunkbutch.tumblr.com/post/176163663327/dont-eat-the-apple-i-was-speaking-with-a-friend
