A catcall is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The purity myth is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The fetishization of female purity in a world where catcalls are an acceptable form of communication telegraphs one thing very clearly:

“Women, stop sexualizing yourselves—that’s our job, and you’re taking all the fun out of it.”

The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness,” and sluttiness is agency and agency is threatening.

“ For the record, I don’t have “food politics.” I also do not have “lifestyle politics.” I could care less WHAT anyone eats. I don’t give a fuck WHAT anyone wears. I have animal liberation politics, I care about WHO is eaten by whom, and WHO gets treated as fabric. If I seem pissed off at your minimizing of my concerns it’s because you act like my anger is directed at you choosing Coke instead of Pepsi, or wearing neon instead of pastels. No, my anger is about you choosing to imprison, torture, and kill someone so you can eat a burger or have cool boots. I was going through some old zines and found this on an unfinished letter that I must have written back in ‘98 or ‘99. It was addressed to a social ecologist kid I knew that also once referred to feminism as “pantie politics,” so at least he was an equal opportunity asshole.  (via angry-hippo)

“ Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark. N’tima (via rippedvanwinkle)

But are we really that surprised that these two young men didn’t think their actions were wrong?

Videos of men running up to women they don’t know just to grab their ass or stomach and run away are played for laughs on shows like Tosh.0. (The show is run by a comedian who garnered tremendous support after he “joked” about a woman in his audience being gang raped.) A “funny” montage of women’s breasts shown at the Oscars included rape scenes. We have handfuls of qualifiers—date, legitimate, forcible, gray—that we throw in front of “rape” because we want to know if an assault was a “real” rape or one of those non-rapes Republican politicians keep talking about.

And it’s not just rape that’s the joke—it’s women. Our very existence is presented to young men as fodder for sex and laughs, our humiliation and pain as goalposts for their masculinity. While mainstream culture fools itself into thinking that Americans take rape seriously, most women know better. We get the joke. We’re just tired of being the punchline.

Abortion seems to be the only medical procedure that people want to deny you based on how you got in that situation.

Drove drunk, got in an accident and need an organ transplant? No problem.

Messing around with a gun, accidentally shoot yourself in the leg and need surgery? Of course.

Smoke tobacco for most of your life and need treatment for lung cancer? Yep.

Climb a tree, fall out and break your leg? We’ll fix that right up.

Have sex and get pregnant when you don’t want to be? YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS SITUATION AND YOU DESERVE NO MEDICAL HELP OR COMPASSION! THIS IS YOUR FAULT AND YOU WILL DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!

“ If society does not find fault in a woman’s talent, competence or intelligence, they will attack her appearance. To criticize a woman for her looks is their weak last ditch attempt to remind her she is unworthy. To keep someone down you must push them so they can never get up. Confidence and perseverance are the first steps to conquering the world because to conquer the world you must first reclaim yourself as an individual worthy and capable of doing things greater than they imagined.

“ Women who are too sexual aren’t taken seriously, and women who aren’t sexual enough aren’t taken seriously. Women who are conventionally attractive get valued solely for their sexual appeal; women who aren’t conventionally attractive get dismissed for their lack of it. Women who are conventionally attractive are assumed to be dumb bimbos; women who aren’t conventionally attractive are assumed to be either bitter or desperate. Women who are conventionally attractive get trivialized; women who aren’t conventionally attractive get treated with pity and contempt. We can’t win. (via ceedling)

“ Verlass dich nicht auf andere, denn dann bist du schon verlassen | Ein Problem folgt dem anderen, und du kannst es gar nicht fassen | Etwas läuft schief, etwas kreuzt deine Pläne | Manchmal ist das so im Leben, es gibt keine Glückssträhne. | Manchmal kann das Leben schwer sein, es fehlt dir die Sicht und du findest keinen Mut | Hast viele Sorgen, manche groß, manche klein | Augen zu und durch, after rain comes the sunshine.

“ As a society, we encourage girls and women to be emotionally accessible, and in touch with their feelings; we say that it’s an innately feminine trait. We say it, that is, until they have feelings that make us uncomfortable, at which point we recast them as melodramatic harpies, shrieking banshees, and basket cases Tori Amos (via cavum)

“ [TW: rape culture]
And when we frame all women as being someone’s wife, mother or daughter, what are we teaching young girls?

We are teaching them that in order to have the law on their side, they need to be loved by men. That they need to make themselves attractive and appealing to men in order to be worthy of protection. That their lives and their bodily integrity are valueless except for how they relate to the men they know.

The truth is that I am someone’s wife. I am also someone’s mother. I am someone’s daughter, and someone’s sister. But those are not the things that define me, or make me valuable in this world. Those are not the reasons that I should be able to live a life free from rape, sexual assault or any kind of violent crime.

I have value because I am a person. Full stop. End of argument. This isn’t even a discussion that we should be having.

So please, let’s start teaching that fact to the young women in our lives. Teach them that you love, honour and value them because of who they are. Teach them that they should expect to be treated with integrity because it’s a basic human right. Teach them that they do not deserve to be raped because no one ever, ever, ever deserves to be raped.

Above all, teach them that they are people, too.

I Am Not Your Wife, Sister, or Daughter. I Am a Person

- I know this is used as a way to invoke empathy in those who lack it, and can be effective, but I completely agree with the article.
