In-game Romances

In more and more role-playing games (pc and console) it has become possible to enact a romance with an NPC (non-player character). Of course this must lie in the script from the makers, or it must be created by loyal fans, who are willing(and able) to write what they feel are missing in the game. [...]

They’re really opposed to breast reductions out there

From the sometimes strange and sometimes frightening list of search terms that bring people to this blog I have drawn these little tidbits.
woman wants breast reduction
That one appears rather neutral. No problem there. But then the ‘fun’ starts.
breast reductions are bullshit

Boobies! Hur hur!

Sometimes I just want to cry: Boobie Burglary
Police are interested in anyone who may have recently increased their cup size after a pair of implants was stolen
Police  responded to an unusual theft at a hospital in Grindsted, mid-Jutland, recently, after it was reported that a pair of silicone breasts had been stolen from an operating theatre, [...]

Woman wants breast reduction – men across the world weep

And I’m not even kidding. A google search for Simona Halep, a Romanian tennis player, will drag out enough muck that I won’t be linking any of it here. Most of them are writing the same thing anyway. I’ve found you a few choice quotes, though, especially the response to Halep’s own statement, which I [...]

Consent, Agency and Free Will

A little more than a year ago I wrote about consent. Those were some of my early thoughts on the issue, and I never really broached the more difficult situations. In the post I dealt only with the ridiculous notion that even sleeping, unconscious and dead women should have said no, otherwise their consent to [...]

About Time I Take a Stand

Those few who frequent my blog might notice that I’ve split up my blogroll. Until now it’s included blogs written by sex-positive feminists, by radfems, by people for and people against porn/prostitution, by ex-sex workers who hated the work, and by sex workers who like and even love their jobs. In other words: My blogroll [...]

There’s abuse and there’s abuse

In 2007 the verdict came in a case that horrified pretty much every Dane. Known as The Tønder Case a father was sentenced to 10 years in prison for having abused his two daughters sexually as well as having ‘rented them out’ to other men. The oldest daughter was abused from when she was 2 [...]

Hilary Kinnell and Sex Worker’s Rights

via Debs
Go read this awesome piece on how to consider sex workers, their rights and safety, as well as feminist abolitionist dogma, anecdotal evidence etc etc.
I’m going to study it more closely later on and really soak it up in detail.

“Then you’re really a feminist!”

The other day I was sitting in the cantina having my lunch along with my co-workers. As usual the conversations taking place were about all things great and small.
I zoned out for a little while, so I have no idea how the conversation at my end of the table came to be about hairy legs. [...]

The Back-Up Project

A good while ago many feminist blogs covered the topic of sexual harassment at Cons. The amassed hordes of geeky boys and men who get their sole ‘education’ about women from computer games and misogynist films of one sort or the other tend to gather a rather large percentage of misogynists.
This, for one thing, means [...]
