“Rape is a criminal act whatever the circumstances.  A woman riding the subway nude may be guilty of indecency, but she may not be raped.  If she invites or even sells sex at 10:00 and refuses it at 10:45, the partner who disregards her refusal and forces sex is guilty of rape.  If she is drunk, asleep, mentally defective, paralyzed or dead, she must not be raped.  Why?  Because sexual congress must be by consent.”

- Toni Morrison

The military agrees, Ms. Morrison.

I agree completely with this, except for the “mentally defective” part. Nice to know that, since I’m “crazy” and “defective”, all of the sex I’ll ever have will be rape. -_- Ableist bullshit.

Yeah uh fuck the ableism

You make a great feminist point but uh fuck your ableism

just because I’m mentally ill and literally have brain damage (yes, I’m literally mentally defective) doesn’t mean that I can’t consent to sexual activity. 

Also I could go into the fact that ‘female-passing’ non-binary trans people are in just as much danger of being raped as those who identify as women, and thus it’s really dangerous to frame this all as “only women get raped” but I fear that’s derailing.

You’re completely right that it’s wrong of her to say that only women get raped, I think. I was just under the impression that this quote was in response to a specific incident…?

TRIGGER WARNING [Violence Against Women]

Clothing designers are letting the parents…

On August 31, 2009 James Hornik was raped by another male in Hollywood, California. Mr. Hornik found himself in great need of police assistance and called on the LAPD, trusting that they would help him in his sudden predicament. When asked if he could press charges against his attacker, the LAPD officers simply responded, “A gay man can’t be raped”. Mr. Hornik was treated at Cedars Sinai Hospital but was denied a forensic rape collection kit by the LAPD, whose job it is to issue such kits through their forensic team.

James Hornik has been fighting for more understanding and recognition that men (gay or straight) can be raped ever since that muggy night in August of 2009 with very little help at all. He has contacted organizations such as LAMBDA Legal, GLAAD, the ACLU, the NoH8 Campaign and various others only to be denied help and led in circles. Mr. Hornik even filed the proper complaints with the city, county and the LAPD internal investigation team. The LAPD was exonerated from any wrong doing or neglect by the mayor.

The goal of this petition is to demand that the LAPD make a formal apology to Mr. Hornik and the citizens of Los Angeles County in general for their failure to recognize what was and is a very serious situation and a growing problem within the gay community and society as a whole.

Pause for one moment and ask yourself, what if it happened to you and no one heard your cries?

Before you read this, you should know that I like women, and I don’t hate feminists. Not all women are bitches. Being a bitch is a choice. Some women are nice, logically thinking people that know it’s not necessary to tear someone a new asshole or behave in a self destructive manner just to prove…

…So men can’t be against slut shaming without being horny? Wut.
