bored of normal sex I want to have the sims sex where we jump under the covers and pink lovehearts appear over the bed while kissing and sensual laughter and "mhm" sound effects play

being retraumatized and reviolated is the currency survivors pay in exchange for justice and it is so deeply embedded into our conception of how we even *get* justice that it’s obvious “reviolation” and “justice” is the stereoscope through which we’re seen

The animals all dug in to heaping platters of fresh dandelion cheese, candied nuts, plum an’ currant pudding, roasted carrots and leeks piled high, and kind of a lemony-garlicky-miso-gochujang easy weeknight protein noodle situation

thing is, being overpowered has very little to do with physical strength & everything to do with the social power backing you up. It’s why rape culture fears less the “strong badass fighter” woman & more the rhetorical power she could gain if her word was believed over his.

if survivors’ anger wasn’t a source of power, it wouldn’t -scare- people so much
Daily reminder: You have the right to be angry for however long you want or need, or forever. I will always be angry about the abuse I and my children endured. I think that is very healthy.

There’s a book about this called “Why Does He Do That” by Lundy Bancroft — every woman should read it
Funny how a man who supposedly "can't control his anger" can stay polite with his boss, patient with clients, and calm around his friends, then suddenly explode at his girlfriend? That isn't losing control. It's choosing a target, which is why abuse is a choice.

My brother going to prison for 6 years saved my life...for 6 years and I am uninterested in a world where people view my life a necessary exchange for the cause of no prison

I've long stopped entertaining any kind of perspective on alternatives to dealing with sexual violence that cannot answer how to deal with the problem that after 6 years he was back. How do you build me a world where I was -more- free of him than prison offered?
