“When the sex war is won prostitutes should be shot as collaborators for their terrible betrayal of all women.”-actual quote from Julie Burchill

I’m posting so many links about this not b/c I’m surprised that people like Burchill exist, but b/c I’m outraged that the Guardian is still giving her a platform.

Seriously Burchill, that’s your take-away from the horrors of the sex trade and the objectification of women? Shooting sex workers is your answer?

I think the answer feminists should be looking for should be found in the international sex workers’ rights movement, where we can tell you whether the sex trade is horrific or not based on our own experience, and where we can analyze how we’re represented/objectified, and when/whether or not objectification is appropriate.

The Makers Of Dead Island Would Like You To Purchase This Woman’s Dismembered Torso (Really)

Dead Island: Riptide is the sequel to Dead Island, the survival horror video game that has players stranded on a tropical island with a zombie outbreak. To promote the game, publishers Deep Silver are offering a special “Zombie Bait Edition” which includes the console game, artwork, a weapons pack, and a statue of a woman’s bikini-clad torso with her head and arms chopped off. And so help me god, they’re comparing it to the Venus de Milo. The graphic image is after the jump and probably NSFW.

Hello. Some of you may know me as Shelly. I’m a transgender woman who, last night, was outed to my conservative Christian parents. They have cut me off from the internet in an attempt to prevent me from accessing the “evil influences” they believe have sent me so far from their definition of righteousness. This is naturally a less than ideal situation for me and I need to escape my predicament. I currently live in Houston, Texas, and am now desperately searching for someone to move in with. I have enough money saved up to pay for a few months’ rent and would continue to do so after finding a job in the area.

Please, I need your help. If you have room to spare or know someone who does and live in the Houston area, I have given my contact information to my close friend Everanix. If you are interested, ask her about me and we can discuss further terms. I would like to be able to escape as soon as possible.
