it’s exhausting …after the 3232th callout for some woman who thinks biosex is real and gays are homosexual its like…just be a radfem damn. arent u tired…
Hey giant reminder that having these views or being generally critical of liberal queer politics does not make you a radical feminist. This is why there are so many people on tumblr identifying as radfems while holding almost no radical feminist views whatsoever lol. Pls stop telling people they’re either liberal feminists or “radfems”
true this is very basic. I guess my point is if they are going to condemn you for acknowledging biosex you might as well go for it and read some Dworkin (collected works here)
If you haven’t seen/heard/read this speech yet, then take a few moments and do so, please. This teenager, calm and firm, bluntly tells off pretty much all world leaders and everyone who insists climate change isn’t important. Powerful words. At 15, this autistic teenager has organized strikes and protests by kids in her home country, and inspired millions around the world by her online activism as well.
it’s sad that i’ll probably get hate for saying this, but… calling trans women “men in dresses” in an attempt to insult them is… bad. there’s nothing wrong with being a man who wears dresses. male gender non conformity is good.
honestly, considering such expression is something conservatives often use to insult feminine gay men, you probably shouldn’t be using the same rhetoric. just saying.
i’ve started using the word “sexy” a lot more just because it’s like… an inflammatory word… describing something weird as “hot” is like ok gross whatever but “sexy” just makes people go crazy like either they agree wholeheartedy or they want you dead
In the midst of sexual assault, the brain’s fear circuitry dominates. The prefrontal cortex can be severely impaired, and all that’s left may be reflexes and habits. Some responses have been programmed into human brains by evolution.
Freezing occurs when the amygdala – a crucial structure in the brain’s fear circuitry – detects an attack and signals the brainstem to inhibit movement. It happens in a flash, automatically and beyond conscious control.
It’s a brain response that rapidly shifts the organism into a state of vigilance for incoming attacks and avenues of escape. Eyes widen, pupils dilate. Hearing becomes more acute. The body is primed for fight or flight. But as we shall see, neither fight nor flight necessarily follows.
Simultaneously with the freeze response, the fear circuitry unleashes a surge of “stress chemicals” into the prefrontal cortex, the brain region that allows us to think rationally – to recall the bedroom door is open, or that people are in the dorm room next door, for example, and to make use of that information.
But what if you’re being sexually assaulted and there’s no to fall back on?
What if you’re a woman and the only habits your brain cues up are those you’ve always relied upon to ward off unwanted sexual advances – like saying, “I have to go home now” or “Your girlfriend will find out”? Those phrases, and passive behaviors that go with them, may be your only responses, until it’s too late.
Countless victims of sexual assault describe just such responses. Too often police officers, college administrators, even friends and family think to themselves – and say out loud – “Why didn’t you run out of the room?” “Why didn’t you scream?”
