“This Week In Slut Shaming…” is a weekly instillation in which we here at Blonde on Blonde collect all the cool links we have found (and previously posted to the all encompassing, all knowing G-d that is Facebook) as a little digest each Friday about fucked up shit – and resistance! – that is happening. Sounds totally awesome, right? I can see by the look on that gorgeous face of yours that you’re real into what we’re throwin’ down here. So! Let’s get clickin’!
In my beloved neighborhood of Powderhorn Park there is some fucked up anti-artist racist bullshit happening that is totally bumming my stone.
I’m really into this reproductive justice driven response to the totally effed (and, yes, racist!) anti-choice billboards.
Speaking of anti-choice bullshittery, this is the ULTIMATE BREAKDOWN of what these anti-choice, anti-sexuality laws really mean: that women are hysterical, lying, infantile, crazy, helpless, and, yes, stupid bitches. I like to take it a step further though and lay it out there like this: abortion laws are a remark on femininity as a whole. When femininity is degraded and we do not actively resist that degradation, we are complicit with patriarchy. Abortion laws are about autonomy and therefore they are absolutely essential to our collective liberation, regardless of whether or not we participate in sexual acts or have the ability to get pregnant. Rights regarding autonomy = gender rights = sexual rights = queer rights = liberation.
It IS the beginning of the month (relatively) and lo, Susan Miller has spoken.
It should be blatantly stated at this point that this blog is created by two Sagittarian Blonde B’s who both get paid to do shit regarding reproductive health.
COOL! xo. bxxxy
