Schlagwörter: Femen – Kopftuchdebatte – Kleidungsvorschriften Man muss in erster Linie gar nicht wissen, warum eine Frau ein Kopftuch oder einen Minirock trägt. Es geht nicht darum, wie sich eine Frau kleidet. Es geht darum herauszuarbeiten, in welchem sozialen Geflecht Frauen leben oder mit welchen Hürden sie im Alltag konfrontiert werden. Der Fokus auf Symbole […]


Schlagwörter: sexualisierte Gewalt – Stressreaktion – überleben One of the stressors that actives fight/flight/freeze is sexual assault (though not just sexual assault) and may survivors wonder what went wrong with their bodies; why didn’t they fight back? why couldn’t they run or kick or even scream? Answer: nothing went wrong with your body, everything went […]


Schlagwörter: Entitlement Entitled” are the people who think your stubbornness and tears and anger and silly emotions are getting in the way of their very rational, very reasonable discussion of a thing that has never, and will never, personally affect them. That if only you would stop being so invested and taking everything so seriously […]


Schlagwörter: Selbstbestimmung – Selbstfürsorge It’s not wrong or bad or malicious to not want someone the way they want you to want them, even if you wanted them that way before… even if before was only 15 minutes ago.

Schlagwörter: Sexismus Most women fight wars on two fronts, one for whatever the putative topic is and one simply for the right to speak, to have ideas, to be acknowledged to be in possession of facts and truths, to have value, to be a human being. [Die meisten Frauen* kämpfen Kriege an zwei Fronten, einen […]


Schlagwörter: Diskriminierung – Atheismus – Christentum – Bigotterie Which very much stems from the idea that bigotry is one worldview and anti-bigotry is another. But a “point of view” ceases to be a protected intellectual exercise when it formulates actions that actually harm people. It’s like how it’s fine for one person to be a […]


Schlagwörter: Consent – Grenzen – Grenzüberschreitung Doing things to people that they don’t consent to is wrong. We all need to stop pretending that it’s rude to say that. Violating limits isn’t cute or funny or edgy. Joking about violating limits isn’t cute or funny or edgy. [Mit Menschen Dinge zu tun, denen sie nicht […]


Schlagwörter: awesome – sexuelle Belästigung – street harassment – empowerment Squee, favourite quote ever. Trigger Warnung für alles hinterm Link. At my (women’s) college, we had a tradition called the Loser Dance. If you were being creeped on at a party or a club or whatever, you kept dancing but made the L/Loser sign with […]
