DONATE HERE

Cathy Brennan, radical “feminist” terrorist, has set her sights on a young black activist in Baltimore County, MD. Phylicia Sampson is being taken to court by Brennan, a notorious harasser of trans women and their supporters. Sampson is a recent college grad with few resources, no car and no way to fight back without your help.

As a community, we’ve suffered Brennan’s assaults for a long time—her blog is the best known for outing trans women’s personal information. She believes trans women are men who are infiltrating the feminist community and expends her resources fighting them. The idea that she is now taking her harassment to a legal venue is horrifying. That she has selected a young black woman with few resources to fight back is repugnant.

We can’t let Cathy Brennan get away with this! Share Phylicia’s campaign on Facebook, twitter, tumblr and instagram.  Here are some things you can do TODAY to help:

• Tell your friends why it is important that they donate to this campaign. 
• Donate what you can.
• Write to your favorite feminist blog and ask them to cover this campaign

DONATE HERE

as someone who has dealt (in a pretty unserious way) with cathy brennan (she’s the one who called me a nightmare woman (hence my tumblr title) please donate whatever you can.

Tumblr, teaching more about rape culture than they do in school

*sigh*…in order then:

1. A typical example of labeling “all the menz” as rapists.  Sorry, if I see someone that looks in need of help on the sidewalk or side of the road, I will continue to offer aid in a respectful manner.
   
   
2. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind the next time a straight woman grabs my crotch or comes at me like a creature from Alien wanting to suck my life out through my mouth because she “luvs the gays and they luvs her” [/sarcasm].
   
   
3. Actually not “creepy” although those words are a sign of being a douche that can’t control his mouth.  However, telling a female person that she looks nice, asking if she’s done something new with her hair, or asking where she got an outfit are perfectly acceptable comments and questions in a world where the recipient knows the difference between a compliment and creeping.
   
   
4. No….”it” doesn’t assume these things.  Feminism — as expressed by the icons of it and RadFems — assumes these things.  It also incorrectly states that women are incapable of rape.
   
   
5. Truth regardless of the sex / gender of either the rapist or victim.
   
   
6. If that is true in all cases then you can throw out the advice littering the pages of many women-centric (marketed to women) magazines: flirting / coquettish behaviour, never be the first to phone the guy, “put a ring on it”, etc..  As “no” in all these cases will end any further contact with the man rather than being interpreted as a sign of possible future interest.
   
   
7. See #5.
   
   
8. How about we tell all our children to behave in a responsible and respectful manner?  Goddess forbid that we raise children that are prepared for adult interaction in the world….nope, better to raise our daughters to perceive themselves as constant victims — while supposedly empowering them — and our sons to “know” that they are “statistically likely” to rape a woman at some point in their life.
   
   

Well done RadFems Feminism!!!  Could I ask that you please buy an island somewhere, live by the constraints of your fucked-up version of reality, petition the UN for official recognition and then announce yourselves to the world?  That way, I will know which country not to buy from in the future.

EDIT: I included the 2nd picture as part of my 1st point as they give much the same message.

Found Image number one on Project Unbreakable a while back, and as if my faith in humanity isn’t diminished enough, I found a link to image number two on reddit just now. Sometimes I really fucking hate people.

Mhm let’s hear some more about how fat hatred isn’t a real thing and doesn’t do any “real” damage and we should be worrying about “real” issues like racism and sexism (as if those things don’t intersect at all). Silencing and mocking sexual assault survivors by making a “fat joke” isn’t enough “damage” for you people? (And this happens all the time).

1. Clearly this is a horrible, cruel joke that some lazy simpleton with photoshop nailed together. There’s no excuse for it other than the First Amendment and that someone with a very bad sense of humour thought it might be funny. It’s not.

2. Rape is not a function of how you dress or your weight. 

That’s two things out of the way. I’d ask you to remember that I’ve taken these as given as your fevered feminism hits the roof during the following paragraphs.

My interest in this piece is the three links in the last sentence: “all the time”. See those links? Those links are examples of how rape survivors are fat-shamed or whatever. Right? OK.

The first link is by a guy who thinks that society should leverage its hatred for fat people by mentioning that girls who are raped tend to get depressed and overeat. Yes. That’s right. I read the whole bit. And I dismiss the entire thing as delusional gibberish. And if you’re using that as an example of how anyone in the real world feels, then you’re delusional too.

The second link is by a lawyer who was making a specific defense, which is very badly paraphrased in the headline. Yes. That’s right. I read the whole thing. The headline says that the girl in question “should be glad of attention”, when the lawyer said no such thing. The lawyer actually said, as a hypothetical scenario in defense of his client, that she “may well have been glad of the attention” because she was very overweight at the time. Now, given that the entire argument of the fat-shaming people is that society is anti-fat, you’d think they’d understand that argument, even if they disagree with it. Personally, I think it’s specious. What do you think?

The third link is a guy posting about the warning signs of a false rape accusation. It mentions nothing at all about being overweight, anywhere in the article. That’s right. I read the whole thing. You know, when you post links, there’s a danger that someone somewhere might read them. So make sure they say what you want them to say. As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing wrong with publicizing the fact of false rape accusations, which happen all the time for all sorts of reasons. Tumblr feminists don’t really acknowledge them, or if they do, they dismiss them immediately as irrelevant, or (I swear I have actually seen this argument) a product of the patriarchy. 

This is what happens when you believe in something like it’s a religion. It infects everything you think. You couldn’t just look at these photos and think, like all normal people, “I hope the guy who did this chokes on stick of his own shit”. You had to take it to a further, unnecessary, badly-researched level. 

And that’s all on you.

Fuck special snowflakes who think like this.

Gurl bye

Your ass ain’t fucking special because you don’t wear makeup.

You’re not fucking better than the woman with large breasts who wears tank tops.

You’re a piece of shit because you are putting sexist stereotypes onto other women in some anti-feminine bullshit.

If you don’t like it, why’d you comment on it? I think it’s awesome and you’re probably one of the girls up there that wears makeup and shortshorts and tiny tanktops. And most kids today wear makeup because they think they aren’t pretty and need it. So deal with it. And get over yourself.

girl bye.

lemme tell you something: I wear tons of fucking make up. I wear short dresses. I walk around with a face that looks about as fake as it can get outside of a fucking barbie doll. and I like it that way. and, despite what you seem to think, no, it’s not because i think i’m ugly. i just fucking like makeup (and trust, i’ve spent years examining my own motivations and how they’re tied to internalized self-hated, fatphobia and misogyny so don’t EVEN cause you don’t know what you’re talking about).

I also read ravenously; engage in discourse regarding philosphy, art, economics, politics, race, gender, sexuality; make subversive art; and love comics and film and music. I’M A FUCKING PERSON IS WHAT I’M SAYING. 

like how fucking deep is this goddamn image when the spine of the book JUST SAYS THE WORD ‘BOOK’.

this kind of bullshit narrative, other than furthering a misogynistic dichotomy that pits women against each other, is also a complete fucking fallacy. A huge majority of average women DON’T DO THIS. you aren’t the lone plain jane in an army of cake-faced, bottle blonde barbies—if you look around, you’ll see that most women just throw on jeans and tops and very little makeup. 

I get that this kind of shit is an attempt to fight back against media-made images of what womanhood is supposed to be. I get it. (thought isn’t it interesting that the “weirdo” in the picture is still thin and conventionally attractive??)

but attacking other women who you perceive as being stupid or carbon copies because of their fucking appearance doesn’t fight back against shit. it actually does EXACTLY what the patriarchy wants us to do—engenders more hatred and competition between women. 

but you know, whatever, continue to think you’re so goddamn special. i’ll be over here reading AND wearing hot pink lipstick and having a hell of a time doing it.
