shawty, u got a body like a…
And they're like so was it all:
And you're like, nah it was more like:
Zack de la Rocha’s speech after witnessing a woman’s top torn off.
Damn.
RATM has become so associated with angry white brogressive men that it’s easy to forget they’re a radical communist band made up of Latinos.
It’s deeply, deeply depressing how many radical (in terms of politics) bands there are that have been co-opted by angry white brogressives AND conservatives… even to the point of their songs being used in political campaigns with no permission.
Reblog for freaking awesome.
You're a dad who is also a goth. You enjoy the darkness but you're full of love for the bundles of absolute joy that are your kids. Sometimes you wear thick eyeliner to their soccer practices, but that just means you're a little more complex than all the other boring dads. Keep gothin', pops.
None of it has ever been funny or subversive or made a point worth making. Nope, not even that one you're thinking of. Mentioning dead sex workers is a perpetuation of the status quo, a statement that water is wet, that dick is abundant and low value, that grass is generally fucking green. It's normal and it's disgusting. Even well-protected indoor sex workers are just one bad screening or an encounter with one-off from that vile shit so while your joke is meant about those toothless, nameless, and dead-eyes workers that exist more in the imagination than in the world, you are talking about people I know.
Just a few more gems. Not shown: I’m not a prostitute, I’m dead inside, I’m addicted to sex work, I used to be self righteous and anti-patriarchy and now I’m a dead inside prostitute. Exactly how did cnn decide this woman should be writing for them as a “feminist sex worker”?
It’s not that you can’t hate sex work and be a feminist, you can. Totally.
It’s that the way she talks about sex work and herself and other women isn’t feminist.
I mean, do any feminists apart from the abolitionists think it’s possible to “sell your body”? Is it feminist to look at the women working around you and see only the ugly and the flaws? The broken teeth and poor education? It’s possible to talk about these things in a feminist way—AND it’s possible to talk about these things in a feminist way that doesn’t smack of theory, it’s completely possible to talk about the way intersecting oppressions often lead women to sex work in an accessible way, but that’s not what Crane does her. And again, the dead gazes trope is so so shitty to invoke when after twenty two years as a stripper and a hooker she knows damn well it’s the result of boredom and frustration with customers. When strippers are making money and have nice customers WE LOOK ENGAGED JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE
What I find weirdest of all is the tone difference between this and the cnn piece, esp considering how recently this was published. It’s bizarre.
I don't have enough hate in my body to reflect the amount of hate that stories like this deserve.
If a horrifying stripper witch robot can find a forever home, there is hope for me yet.
Oh look the tired, boring, and useless fucking question of real names turned on its head into a sexy little secret shared between two friends! You're right, its just YOU AND ME in the whole damn place that know that STRIPPERS DON'T USE THEIR REAL NAMES.
You want to know why that is? It isn't because we want to sound sexier, my real name is mad sexier than my fake one. It's so it will be HARDER TO FIND US BECAUSE MEN STALK AND HARASS SEX WORKERS WITH IMPUNITY AND WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
So you're never getting my real name, I hate you, and I'd like to put you on a ship in the middle of the ocean and then sink it and watch you get eaten by a giant squid while I say my real name from the shore, just out of earshot for you.
i like this one
For a second I was expecting something different and was really enraged
fucking bless whoever made this
Unless she is saying, "Oh fuck, I accidentally traded in my daughter for this prostitute!" in a goofy meth hijink game gone round, the pretend-mom in this ad is a grade-A cuntbag. That meth whore can come hang out with me and my sex worker friends, or me and my mom. My mom isn't like this.
the fucking worst is when people are like “you hate people for having a different opinion than you!!!!” like im not shitting on this guy because he thinks pistachio ice cream is gross im shitting on him because he actually believes that i and people like me dont deserve basic human rights and respect and safety
