“We only said goodbye with words,
I died a hundred times.
You go back to her
and I go back to black.”

Amy Winehouse (09.14.83-07.23.11)

1st part sums up why trying to have a discussion about privilege is exhausting. Cannot imagine the 1000x hell that WoC deal with.

I appreciate the sentiment, and the analysis of rape culture is good, but one thing:

Men are HALF of rape victims and women perpetuate TWO-FIFTHS of rapes. Pretending these things are not true, that forced envelopment isn’t rape, that just because men are punished if they do speak out about their experiences without the kind of solidarity I enjoy when I talk about my experiences as a survivor of sexual assault, they are somehow not raped or not raped as badly, is PERPETUATING RAPE CULTURE. It just is.

Could I ask about the sources of your male rape figures? I’ve found numbers that suggest 8-10%, and while obviously that’s underreported, female rape cases also have underreport rates estimated as high as 75%. I found a source that suggests that sexual assault for males is 3 in 20 which is about comparable with the 1 in 6 rapes of women, but includes all sexual assault.

GOP Rep. Tells Constituent Who Asks About Raising The Minimum Wage To ‘Get A Job’

CONSTITUENT: Hi, I’m (inaudible) how are you? Happy Fourth of July. Jesse Jackson, Jr. is passing a bill around to increase the minimum wage to 10 bucks and hour. Do you support that?

YOUNG: Probably not.

CONSTITUENT: 10 bucks, that would give us a living wage.

YOUNG: How about getting a job?

CONSTITUENT: I do have one.

YOUNG: Well, then why do you want that benefit? Get a job.

Conservative compassion. The only reason they’re trying to raise the minimum wage is so it matches the buying power it had when the federal minimum wage was enacted in 1968 - in other words, they’re just adjusting for inflation. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: all politicians should be on minimum wage.

I literally can’t comprehend how out of touch Rep Young must be that he seems to think minimum wage = welfare.

Gateway of the Mind

In 1983, a team of deeply pious scientists conducted a radical experiment in an undisclosed facility. The scientists had theorized that a human without access to any senses or ways to perceive stimuli would be able to perceive the presence of God. They believed that the five senses clouded our awareness of eternity, and without them, a human could actually establish contact with God by thought. An elderly man who claimed to have “nothing left to live for” was the only test subject to volunteer. To purge him of all his senses, the scientists performed a complex operation in which every sensory nerve connection to the brain was surgically severed. Although the test subject retained full muscular function, he could not see, hear, taste, smell, or feel. With no possible way to communicate with or even sense the outside world, he was alone with his thoughts. […]

This photo is from the Tuskegee Experiment so more like “In 1932 the US Public Health Service conducted a racist experiment in Alabama.”
