LET’S LOSE “VIRGINITY”!  

my new vid includes:

✔ peeing in the woods
✔ almost falling out of a tree
✔ ranting about virginity, hymens, & why it’s all fucked up

Thank all of goodness that this video exists. Although I don’t understand why it’s happening in the woods, I also like the woods, in addition to the term “virginity” being wiped from human memory or something.

7 in 10 divorces RE:

chiphoria:

wordsofthequiet replied to your post: 7 in 10 divorces RE: …so your argument is that women get a great deal out of divorce and shouldn’t whine, and men are in the really horrible position in society? Seems flimsy to me.

I don’t think I implied anywhere that women shouldn’t whine (whine about what exactly?) or that its the men in this country who are the ones who are truly suffering. That would in my mind be like a white christian male crying oppression in this country. But I think its also disingenuous and naive to not think women do get a great deal out of divorce in courts these days, almost like its an incentive in some cases. I don’t think its a secret that when it comes to alimony and child support/custody the court and law sides with women favorably the majority of the time because of social stigmas. That would be akin to me denying that women get paid less for the same work as men, because we know it happens. I can acknowledge the horrible and unfair or unequal things men to do women so I don’t think its too much to ask that we shine light on issues where men are treated unequally by the law or address the negative social stigmas attached to us as a gender as well.

I apologize if I offended you, it’s totally possible that I misread your snark as accusatory. I’m the first person to get beaten over the head by fellow feminists for suggesting that men are negatively affected by patriarchy—but the key that your commentary seemed to be missing (and perhaps I’m jumping to conclusions or perhaps it doesn’t even matter) is that these results just happen to be the consequences of systemic discrimination against women. So, in my mind, the solution to fixing this is to upset the patriarchy and re-evaluate the power dynamics between men and women starting with not putting all of the child care burden on women with the expectation that a man’s money is a fair exchange for a partner to parent with. Not to suggest that its not courageous of women to ask for a divorce because they get all the good stuff out of a divorce. The courage of asking for a divorce comes from a vast, systemic history of being a good woman only if you are married to a man. That’s a lot to overcome, and the fact that men get the short end of the stick in court cases relating to divorce isn’t necessarily a victory for women either. My own mother had almost sole custody of my brother and I, received small payments from my father, and the burden of raising us was entirely on her because my father chose not fight for more time with us. The judge chose my mother for her womanliness more than her ability to parent a violent, volatile, troublesome son and young daughter. I don’t think she considered that victory.

As far as alimony is concerned, typically the court awards more money to the offended party (if someone cheated, he/she would pay most, for example) or the most paid is by the person who made the most money—which happens to most often be men because, again, patriarchy. Of course each husband or father should be seen as an individual, with their own benefits and abilities and desires and guilt—but that should be because both parties are given equal consideration, not because men have been denied rights—which they haven’t been. Social “stigmas” against men were created by men, who define their own measurements of masculinity and build a society that encourages those measures that lead to a higher occurrence of violence, adultery, and child abandonment among men. Those are the consequences of a society men built for themselves and that men can change through their majority share in power—and shouldn’t expect women to write articles about divorce that make them feel better about it.  

I realize you are not the patriarchy. I realize that you are an individual man who exists in a complex society built by a collection of men who came long before you. I’m not suggesting that this is your problem personally or your fault. I’m just arguing, for the sake of progress, that men can change this issue by being more present fathers and husbands and more aware of who they marry, not ranting against female writers trying to empower single women.

verbicide: Journalist Michael Hastings died yesterday at age 33. http://fb.me/1NQgAHNLv So sad. So much respect for aggressive writers that don’t cater to what people want or expect them to say. War reporting is a hard business I can’t imagine—and it needs Michael Hastings still. “Michael Hastings was really only interested in writing stories someone didn’t want him to write — often his subjects; occasionally his editor. While there is no template for a great reporter, he was one for reasons that were intrinsic to who he was: ambitious, skeptical of power and conventional wisdom, and incredibly brave.” [x]

…The reason for the silence of these Big Business Men is quite simple: the killing is their business. Armaments are their stock in trade; governments are their customers; the ultimate consumers of their products are, historically, almost as often their compatriots as their enemies. That does not matter. The important point is that every time a burst shell fragment finds its way into the brain, the heart, or the intestines of a man in the front line, a great part of the $25,000 [it costs to kill a soldier], much of it profit, finds its way into the pocket of the armament maker.

Arms and the Men, Fortune. April 1934.

Nothing changes.

In 2011, the United States racked up a record shattering $66.3 billion in overseas weapons sales. 

Sales for the world’s 100 largest arms producers amounted to $411 billion in 2010, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.  60% of those arms producers are from the United States. [x]

The largest defense contractor in the United States is Lockheed Martin, 70% of their contracts are to the United States Military. [X] [X]

In 2002, at the outset of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Lockheed Martin was the top defense contributor to federal political campaigns, spending $2,447,000. Lockheed Martin spent $13.9 million lobbying in DC in 2009, splitting their lobbying costs equally between Dems and Republicans.

The CEO of Lockheed Martin also serves on the board of DuPont, a corporate chemical entity with enormous control of U.S. agriculture. 

Defense contractors are war profiteers, using political capitol to gain profits off of international war. It was true in 1918. And in 1934. And it’s true today. Corporations should have no business (pun intended) in international conflict.

Funded On Kickstarter: A Book Promoting Aggressive Sexual Behavior As The Key To Getting Girls “So I don’t know if you guys have heard, but dudes apparently like getting laid. I know, SHOCKING, right? Because of this, there’s naturally a huge market out there of dudes who have trouble getting laid for people who claim to know how to help such dudes get laid to exploit receive money from in exchange for helping to teach them how to get laid…” ————————————————- Apparently “getting awesome with women” is code for being sexually aggressive and dominant, and the heroes of these behaviors are detailed by the author of this gem as follows:  “All the greatest seducers in history could not keep their hands off of women. They aggressively escalated physically with every woman they were flirting with. They began touching them immediately, kept great body language and eye contact, and were shameless in their physicality.” So, let me just be clear: rape is not seduction—in fact it is exactly the opposite. Seduction implies that the seducer (who can and should be of any gender or sexuality) entices the other party to willingly partake in sexual action. Rape is the use of physical force to take another person against their will. There is nothing sexy or skilled or “awesome” about rape or sexual violence. If you are having trouble finding a willing sexual partner—keep looking for a willing sexual partner. Try talking to women as if they are human beings—not your chance at getting laid and certainly not as the pawns in a manly-game-of-manhoodness.  Most human beings want to be seduced. Unfortunately, they don’t want to be seduced by everyone they meet who has genitalia of their preference. Sometimes seducing someone is going to take you longer than five minutes (and it will be so much more wonderful for both of you if it does). Having a partner who wants to be with you because you won her over with your personality and charm is so much sexier than displaying your manhood with physical assertions of power and forcing her to grab your penis (as the author suggests you do).  I am happy to give real seduction advice to anyone having trouble finding a willing sexual partner.  Avoid being a rapist, gentleman. Being a rapist is far more disgusting and off-putting than being a virgin or your average horny guy.
