Shit Everybody Says To Rape Victims - Trigger Warning for Rape Apologists/Slut Shaming

I love these “Shit People Say” Videos… mocking the morons and pointing out that this behaviour is total bullshit, especially in this one is totally what needs to happen. People do say this…I’ve heard people say this about their OWN rape, parroting stuff that was said to them AND BELIEVING IT.

In the Ukraine, a country where females are victims of sexual trafficking and gender oppression, a new tribe of empowered women is emerging. Calling themselves the “Asgarda”, the women seek complete autonomy from men. Residing in the Carpathian Mountains, the tribe is comprised of 150 women of varying ages, primarily students, led by 30 year-old Katerina Tarnouska. Reviving the tribal traditions of the Scythian Amazons of ancient Greek mythology, the Asgarda train in martial arts, taught by former Soviet karate master, Volodymyr Stepanovytch, and learn life skills and sciences in order to become ideal women. Little physical documentation existed on the tribe, until recently, when renowned French photographer, Guillaume Herbaut, met the Asgarda back in 2004 in the midst of the Orange Revolution.

In one of the most jaw dropping moments at an Awards show since Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s VMA Acceptance speech, actress Rosario Dawson grabbed Paul Rudd’s package on stage during the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards. She later told Access Hollywood that she grabbed his nuts because she’s a woman’s rights activist and she was tired of him grabbing on Eva Mendes boobs. 
 
“I love Paul, I’ve been a huge fan of Paul since way back in the “Clueless” moments. He kept [feeling] on her breasts and I was like okay, it was funny for a second then it kept going, going and going …. I was sitting there with my fork like, if he doesn’t stop, I’m going to stab him with my fork….So I went up there and stabbed him with my fork and he didn’t stop. Alright, I’m gonna grab his package, why not?
It was kind of nice. It wasn’t bad, it actually was a pretty good package. I kind of been curious  since I was a teenager watching “Clueless.” My manager came up to me and asked was it scripted, “No, I’m just a women’s [rights] activist and I was getting a little tired. I was like, I’m really sorry Paul I don’t mean to be offensive but you’re kind of being offensive so I’m going to stop you. He was grabbing her boob on stage for a half-an hour. I was kind of getting over it.
Why do men always get to cop a feel? Women get to cop a feel too, it’s keeping equal opportunity.”

WIN. So tired of guys grabbing my boobs/arse and getting surprised/indignant when I do it back!

Another take on the responses to harassment…a fun find after the more serious post on responses to harassment I found here.

I don’t know about the ‘no right’ - personally if someone tried to tell me what to do with my body (ok, WHEN they try and tell me what to do with my body) I don’t listen (well, ok - I listen then say something uselessly smart-arse)…but the beautiful capable thing….yeah - that’s true.

Fun Things Overheard At The Gym - part one

Instructor quotes:

“If you don’t stop leaning on the wall I’ll take it off you.”

“No…no - like a dance after too many wines! …Look at you all…. ‘Must. Not. Funk. It. Up.’ “

This picture is so true, if a little dumbed down. I’ve been a ‘bigger’ girl and known I was ugly to some, but now I’ve lost weight I’ve noticed that comments about muscled/flat chested have just replaced the fat jokes…only now there’s more voices, guys and girls…honestly? When did people start thinking it was ok to do this to anyone, regardless of size…..and more aptly for my situation - what evolutionary flaw makes you say stuff like that within earshot of someone wearing boxing gloves? I’ve got thick skin, there’s only two things ever said to me that’s really got to me, but I’m confrontation happy.
