Rape wasn’t really rape, but was rape, anyway

From the Copenhagen Post: A Jutland couple who made money from allowing men to have sex with two foreign teens living with them had their sentence extended The Western High Court in Århus today upheld the guilty sentence of a man and woman sentenced to prison for keeping two teenage Slovakian girls in their house [...]

Who’s angry again?

WordPress has this lovely feature called tag surfer. I’ve found some wonderful blogs that way, and sometimes I find some less fantastic ones. A few days ago I found yet another post by an angry white male, who absolutely denies any white male anger to ever have existed. He’s not angry. Nope. Never. No, he [...]

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 [...]

Babies having babies

Everyone’s heard of the story out of UK. 13 year old Alfie and 15 year old Chantelle becoming parents. And I’m sure they’ll try their hardest. Only days later a stay emerged here in Denmark. Two 13 year olds are having a child together, except they’re no longer together. The news quote the boy as [...]

Trafficking

This ad makes me cry every time. The text says: “How obvious must human trafficking be, before we do something. Help now at hopenow.dk” And that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Misogyny Summarized

Since I blog in English, I mostly only engage with the English-speaking feminist community. I report on some crimes comitted here in my native country, but always in English. Generally I am of the impression that most isms are far less wide-spread here in Denmark than they are for instance in the US. Or perhaps [...]

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.

Noam Chomsky on Pornography

I first got acquainted with this Noam Chomsky’s writings in connection with a university course on Language and Human Cognitive Learning Abilities (yes, it was tough). Since then, I’ve looked him up a bit more often and found that the man is overall a thoroughly sensible person. Here’s a short video that I think sums [...]

Blog Ratings

This post at The Feminist Underground and subsequently this post from Unapologetically Female had me curious. So I decided to check out my own blog’s rating. Just for kicks. Unlike the other two, I have no recent posts including the word abortion (but now I do). I got rated NC-17 because of these words: rape [...]
