"Any time something is written against me, I not only share the sentiment but feel I could do the job far better myself. Perhaps I should advise would-be enemies to send me their grievances beforehand, with full assurance that they will receive my every aid and support. I have even secretly longed to write, under a pen name, a merciless tirade against myself."--- Jorge Luis Borges, (autobiographical essay, 1970).

COMMENTS POLICY

click here for my full comments policy:
Here's the short version. This blog is strictly anti-porn, anti-trafficking, anti- any and all forms of dominance and hierarchy. I won't publish any pro-porn comments. I've lived that life, and I'm done with it; my significant other is in treatment for sexual addiction. I used to make all of the same pro-porn arguments. Now I've changed my mind because I've learned about the harm caused - but, believe me, I know the arguments. And the pro-porn arguments are EVERYWHERE, utterly dominating public discourse. With this blog, I'm carving out my own tiny space in the world where women like me can be heard and feel safe.

Teal Heart Award for Victims of Sexual Violence

It's like the "purple heart" award, but for those of us injured in the the war on women

Oh, my New Orleans

Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under a lava flood of taxes and frauds and maladministrations so that it has become only a study for archaeologists. ...But it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes, than to own the whole state of Ohio.
--Lafcadio Hearn, 1879

"Men who want to support women in our struggle for freedom and justice should understand that it is not terrifically important to us that they learn to cry; it is important to us that they stop the crimes of violence against us."

I'm Not a Feminist But...

I'm not a feminist but...

I appreciate the right to help choose my government representatives.

I enjoy the option of wearing pants or shorts if I want.

I'm pleased that I was allowed to read and write.

It can be very convenient to control how many babies I want to have.

It's awfully useful to be able to open a bank account and own property in my own name.

I like knowing that my husband or boyfriend can not legally beat me and that my husband can not legally rape me.

It's really swell to keep the money that I earn.

Why aren't you a feminist again???

radical feminist (or not) blogs

On Liberal Men

“For the last 30 years and more, I have watched liberals in America…try to repackage pornography and prostitution as a hip and groovy thing, a liberating thing, something novel and progressive and good for us all, men and women alike. Allegedly Leftist, Progressive men declare their loyalty (both as customers and partisans) to one of the biggest and most exploitative sweatshop industries of them all. Men who would not be caught dead wearing Reeboks or Nikes, or drinking Starbucks coffee, can still kid themselves into thinking Larry Flynt is some kind of People's Hero.”
--D.A. Clarke in "Not For Sale"

Judy Chicago's Merger Poem

And then all that has divided us will merge
And then compassion will be wedded to power
And then softness will come to a world that is harsh and unkind
And then both men and women will be gentle
And then both women and men will be strong
And then no person will be subject to another's will
And then all will be rich and free and varied
And then the greed of some will give way to the needs of many
And then all will share equally in the Earth's abundance
And then all will care for the sick and the weak and the old
And then all will nourish the young
And then will cherish life's creatures
And then all will live in harmony with one another and the Earth
And then everywhere will be called Eden once again.
