Shannon's feministe reading for today:

We learn that anti choicers think that girls cause men to rape by French kissing. Now I'm an anti sex prude and all that, and think maybe you should put off the p in v, the fisting or the anal til you know the person has the good sense to use protection, but...French kissing?! The only thing that causes rape is rapists I say.

Also, we learn that HD is giving porn makers problems which they solve by making the porn actresses do more work, and some porn actresses are even getting expensive and painful surgery.

This has little to do with the above, but did you know that women in Iraq are becoming 'temporary wives' (it's like prostitution, but more religious) more frequently now that we invaded? Also, I heard a lot of Iraqi women's jobs have been disrupted due to the war. It reminds me of the bit from We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families about colonialism being violence. So like, colonialism is bad because it's violence against women(and men).
