“Sexually progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy, civilization and...”
– Alan Moore (25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom)
Thank you. This is a point that is always returned to in the defense of sexual liberation. We are Pagan, we are daemonic, we are powerful. And its fucking beautiful.

be still my heart.
vomit-heart:
That’s all for today.
Sometimes I wish I could just be sexual and not political, but America likes to make it IMPOSSIBLE to be openly sexual, interested in sex, interested in BDSM and interested in having control over reproduction and family planning without politics. Politics ruin everything. Politics make everything unsexy.
And even worse you find yourself having to explain or...

re: the whole government shutting down thing.
I don’t even know, dude. There is a chance my GI Bill payments could stop and that worries me (UNDERSTATEMENT). We have some money saved up but we rely on my GI Bill to pay our rent and provide our entertainment budget. Plus I save…

filmme-fatale:
Teal and orange are the new black and white. I’ve seen this trend growing in both film and video games over the past decade; makes me wonder if color theory is even an afterthought for big-budget directors anymore.

I want to hang out with the Traister siblings so badly.

Great quote. Its pretty “mindblowing” that men are half responsible (sometimes fully responsible) for the pregnancies of women. It scares me to think of sexually active men...
Chicago Walk for Choice 2011 →

chicago is home to the walk for choice, taking place this saturday! let’s show those assholes in congress a bit of feminist fight!
Unfortunately I am working during this extremely important event and I feel like an ass for it because I feel very strongly about the cause and would like nothing more than to be there fighting for it. If you are not working please go, we need the...

Everyone in Chicago area NEEEEEDS to go see this, such an amazing production. Not normally big on theater but this was an amazing show.

vomit-heart:
This is based on Peggy McIntosh’s White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.
Strangers don’t assume they can ask what my genitals look like and how I have sex.
My validity as a man/woman/human is not based on how much surgery I’ve had or how well I “pass” as a non-trans person.
When initiating sex with someone, I do not have to worry that they won’t be able to deal with...

By Gail Collins
Let’s give Speaker John Boehner credit for keeping his promise to give members more chance to debate and offer amendments. Really, if things get any more open, the members will start throwing themselves off the balcony. But not such high marks on consistency. The newly ascendant Republicans have been howling that the deficit is so big, so threatening, that no...
A Brave New Era of Misogyny: or more on the... →
This is an interesting article and I’m very glad Mr.Pathogen brought up the topic of misogyny in the industrial scene. It’s no secret that industrial is a boys club, most of the bands (especially the successful ones) are comprised of mainly men thrashing about in fatigues. But the lack of women (or diversity at all really) in the genre isn’t the end of it. The scene is full of...

Go ahead and get your panties in a wad, but I’m done sugar-coating this shit so you feel better about your dead fetus baby.
I’ll accept that as long as you call yourself “anti-choice.”
Good point, anti-choice would be a fair swap. And please, can we please stop calling fetus’ babies. Also can we recognize how many abortions are EMBRYOS!!...

Fuck Vanessa Grigoriadis For Even Asking Justin...
lattershed:
semiserious:
Thank you Vanessa Grigoriadis and Rolling Stone for reducing such serious issues as a woman’s right to choose and rape to trivial blog fodder. To page-view garnering manufacture controversy. To basically meme status. Actually, fuck you.
Teen pop idols really should only be asked stupid questions like “whats your favorite color?,” “what’s your ideal first date?” and...
“I really don’t believe in abortion.”

When asked “how about in cases of rape,” Bieber responded: “Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason.”

It’s a convenient thing for a young privileged boy who will probably never really have to deal with abortion to say. It’s a manipulative thing that was done, he is by no means an authority on any medical let alone female matter but he is an authority on “coolness” for many young impressionable (often frightening) little girls. He’s entitled to his opinion, I just wish...
