Rape Victim Shamer. Review of Tulisa Contostavlos...
“But still she plays the victim, unable to see a pattern. She was drunk aged 12; four years later, at that rave, she was drinking again, which indirectly led to her being date raped. If she does not learn from her behaviour, then how will her readers?”
This was written in a Daily Mail review of Tulisa Contostavlos’ autobiography.
I immediately felt angry after I read this. When...

There's nothing wrong with sex, people.
thechroniclesofrin:
- Having sex every day. - Saving sex for your wedding night. - Never having sex. - Having sex with different people. - Having sex with one person. - Having sex with a person of your same gender. - Loving sex. - Hating sex. - Being loud. - Being quiet.
The only thing wrong with sex?
When it’s not consensual.
Because that’s not sex. That’s rape.

It's nobody's business that you're gay?
bobster855:
Sorry, but the homophobes already made it their business when they decided to arrest us, harass us, fire us, deny us equal rights and bash our brains in because we’re gay.
All the progress that the LGBTQ community has made in the last 40 years only happened because LGBTQ people stood up and shouted, “Here I am, I’m gay!”
Hiding who you are is just enabling your own oppression.

To be called a girl
pondiferousgrrrls:
The next time
someone shouts
at you
You pussy, You girl
do not fall
to the ground and weep
do not turn crimson
or loudly declare
that you are no such thing
say thank you very much
and go on your way
because there is no shame
in being a girl
a girl is not an insult
a girl is half the world
a girl is to have the same
needs wants and goals
as a boy
A girl is to become a woman
