A blog focused on stories/news/facts/quotes of oppression, abuse, empowerment, women's rights, race/class/gender/sexuality, ableism and many many more. We welcome criticism (see below for contact) in order to keep having an on-going dialogue what what NEEDS to change in us and in the world around us.
We hold a strong belief that actions stem from ideology and philosophy. We need new philosophies and new ideologies. Actions and inactions around us in society currently demonstrate an old ideology/philosophy that still excludes people. We want and need to transform that.

The reality is that sexual rejection happens to men and women alike. That’s part of living in a world in which for a host of reasons, we are not all equally attractive, and where the people we want to sleep with will not always want to sleep with us. The hard truth men and women alike need to grasp is a simple one: our arousal is not someone else’s problem to solve. The sooner we encourage men in particular to grasp that truth, the safer and happier we’ll all be.
