And shame.
Do you know that way back when (I want to say Polynesia, 1600s), being curvy or more heavyset was considered the ultimate ideal of beauty?

Thank you :) I’m rather new to tumblr, but I do have a lot to say! Looking forward to your posts!
The feminine cycle is not so unlike that of the moon.

Facebook event:
Too many pages on Facebook advocate, support, trivialise or feed into rape culture. We know that normalising rape and sexual abuse leads to higher and more frequent instances of these crimes. Facebook have defended pages such as “You know shes playing hard to get when your chasing her down an alleyway [sic]”, claiming that implied - or even explicitly stated - abuse, violence or rape against women counts as freedom of speech, rather than hate speech, despite heavy criticism for charities, Facebook users and advertisers.
Facebook’s response: “Groups or pages that express an opinion on a state, institution, or set of beliefs - even if that opinion is outrageous or offensive to some - do not by themselves violate our policies.”
We want to send a loud and clear message to Facebook that their tolerance of rape/assault will not be ignored. On Monday November 28th, 2011, we are all deactivating our Facebook accounts for 1 week in public protest. We choose this date because this is when companies really start advertising for the Christmas/holiday season.
We ask that along with deactivating your account for 1 week, you also boycott any and all companies and products that are advertised on Facebook until they stop tolerating the promotion of rape and sexual violence. Money talks and, by withdrawing funds, the companies will be putting added pressure on Facebook to stop tolerating the promotion of sexual violence.
Help send a unified message to Facebook that sexual violence is not a state, an institution or a set of beliefs; it is a abhorrent crime that occurs daily to millions of people. Facebook, by defending violent humour, is defending abusers/rapists.
Please pass this page on and invite everyone you know. Thank you.

We all know this iconic symbol of feminism…
I owe all of my feminist passion to Inga Muscio, author of Cunt: A Declaration of Independence. Cunt righteously defends the ancient word, which was originally a term used to depict honor. However, today we are all familiar with the negative connotation of the word. Muscio lifts the word up from the gutter by encouraging usage of the word in its traditional meaning. Cunt explores feminist views on prostitution, rape, birth control, and the feminine life cycle. She promotes female sexuality and explains the history of prostitution and female sexuality. This is an absolute must-read for any modern feminist with a sense of humor—men and women alike.
