Societal Attitudes Supporting Rape (via searchingforavila)

This is fucking scary, and it shows that we do live in a “rape culture” in which abusers and rapists have little idea that they are doing something wrong. My abuser didn’t….

(via inthedarkcornersofmymind)

In which we despair for the universe…

There are so many of these horrible survey results, and everyone should know them and then tell me there’s no such thing as misogyny and rape culture.

(via wretchedoftheearth)

and the absolutely shitty thing is that these norms seep into the law because most rape law in this country is built out of these very norms. and people don’t wanna challenge those laws specifically because they come from these norms.

cultivate: The Top 5 Quotes About Rape from Republican Men

1…Legitimate rape??

2…Relax and enjoy it?  Go fuck yourself.  Fuckin’ enjoy me shoving a broken beer bottle up your ass.  It’s inevitable.

3…I have no words.  You don’t know what you’re fuckin’ talking about.

4…I didn’t know inviting someone into my living space gives them the rights to my body.  Get the fuck out of here.

5…Best of a bad situation?  This isn’t an unfortunate haircut…this is violence, abuse, and life-changing trauma.

These are the best GOP rape quotes I could find - but message me if you have more! Let’s hold these people accountable. 

1. Todd Akin: “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down” - mid 2012 Senate Campaign 

2. Claytie Williams: “If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it” - mid 1990 Gubernatorial race in Texas 

3.  Chuck Winder: “I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.” - March 2012 

4.  Ken Buck: “A jury could very well conclude that this is a case of buyer’s remorse … It appears to me … you invited him over… the appearance is of consent.” - October 2010 

5. Rick Santorum: “I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you… rape victims should make the best of a bad situation.” - January, 2012

Sometimes I have the time and patience to get from an idea to a fully fleshed-out, penciled, inked and coloured comic.

Sometimes I don’t.

I wish I had a burrito for every time someone told me I wasn’t being fair to men.  

This comic explains so many fucking annoying things people say to me at some point when we talk about feminism.  One not on here:  ”well, we’ve already made progress, and women are already pretty much equal, so you don’t have to be feminist anymore.”  Uhg.

I fucking hate that I have to take precautions against being raped. I literally want to burn down everything that makes me feel afraid of men.
