When someone says that “men need sex” or “prostitution prevents rape” or advocate for disabled men to have state sponsored visits from sex workers, they’re also saying something disturbing about their conception of sex.

They see sex as a resource that has to be extracted from the female body, through force, manipulation, or payment. It’s something that can be redistributed, bought or stolen just like a tv or a laptop. We don’t talk about men needing to attend dinner parties or needing to belong to a bowling team because we recognize those as social activities that need the participation of everyone involved. You can’t mandate friendship, it requires the intent of more than one person.

We need to start thinking of sex this way. When you say that men need sex, remember that sex is an activity you do WITH SOMEONE ELSE.  It can never be neutrally given. Sex should be done because two people want to have sex, not because a man needs to be given it.

We had to write a Mini Comic for my Illustration Class so I did mine based on The Frog and The Scorpion. Hopefully you all know the story! 

But if you don’t know the story… In the original the scorpion stings the frog in the middle of the river. When the frog asks “why” the scorpion says “it’s in my nature” and they both die. I like my ending more.

Done with watercolor and pen and ink nib.

you’re all so defensive when it comes to makeup and that’s because you’ve been spoonfed the lie that criticizing a hugely exploitative industry that relies on women feeling insecure is somehow misogynist. it’s quite literally the opposite and i’m sorry you’ve all been brainwashed like this

something weird

im bi but I tend to get crushes on fictional male characters more that real men and real women more than fictional female characters

so I guess I like to concept of men

i think this is a common feeling because men are written with such depth and complexity, whereas fictional women are not only few and far between, but are written half-assedly and from a place of little understanding of a woman’s standpoint. 

meanwhile, real women are lovely and complex people, and real men are mostly just potatoes.
