i like to talk about irrelevant music no one else cares about, and myself, and not necessarily in that order.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Some of my favorite signs from Harrisburg today
TW: RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT.
Over a 20-year period, asking some 2,000 men in college questions like this: “Have you ever had sexual intercourse with someone, even though they did not want to, because they were too intoxicated [on alcohol or drugs] to resist your sexual advances?”, or “Have you ever had sexual intercourse with an adult when they didn’t want to because you used physical force [twisting their arm, holding them down, etc.] if they didn’t cooperate?”
About 1 in 16 men answered “yes” to these or similar questions.
1 in sixteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen are you kidding me
if we got 1 in 16 motherfuckers admitting to raping women on college campuses and are “very forthcoming. In fact, they are eager to talk about their experience”, you better fucking believe tossing out your short skirt and staying in at night isn’t going to keep you safe.

Even worse:
In a survey of 11-14 year-old boys…
- 51% believed that “forced sex” is acceptable if a boy spends a lot of money on a girl
- 31% believed that it would be okay to rape someone with past sexual experience
- 65% believed that sexual assault is okay if dating for more than 6 months
- 87% believed that sexual assault is okay if the perpetrator and victim are married
…aaand in a survey of college males…
- 1 in 12 admitted to committing rape (under the legal definition)
- 35% admitted that they would commit rape under circumstances if they could get away with it
…and in another…
- 43% of college-aged men admitted to using “coercive behavior” such as ignoring a woman’s nonconsent and using physical aggression

reblogging for commentary
(via ethiopienne)
A post to show people who scoff at the idea that we might possibly live in something that warrants the description “rape culture” (with the addition, yet again, that not all rape survivors are women - and indeed not all rapists are men, and that assuming they are makes it all the more difficult to seek and receive help for those rape survivors who don’t fit the popular definition). Along with this excellent if also horrifying post, of course.

Why I need misandry.

yep this is why i reserve the right to be suspicious of all men, tyvm.
(via closetospring)
whenever men get offended that i might possibly worry about my safety around them, i point out that i can’t know which men may rape or otherwise harm me. the onus is on them to NOT rape me, not on me to not fear for my safety! and then i point to statistics like this and tell them that if they want to be offended at people thinking they’re all rapists, they should get mad at the guys who do shit like this and think it’s acceptable.
