Victim-blaming is an invalid legal argument, a failure of logic and of course a sign of moral bankruptcy, expecially because the “revenge porn” consumer is not aroused by graphic sexual depictions as such, but by the fact that people in them—usually

women—did not consent to being looked at. It's a clear violation of others' rights, a threat of privacy and dignity: strangers feels entitled to show to everyone people's body without their consent, violating deliberately limits posed by victim. Victim-blaming and slut-shaming are just other abuse on victims, because it's used to state that victims rather than the perpetrator bear responsibility for the crime committed by the perpetrator. We should remember that people who shared private material without consent to others are committing a crime. They are criminals and fully responsible for their actions.

TRIGGER WARNING: Rape & victim blaming.

 

It is estimated that only 6% of rapes and sexual assaults are actually reported, which is a frightfully low number. I have started a new project aiming to explore the reasons behind this, which started from the #ididnotreport hashtag on twitter - where survivors or rape/sexual abuse tell of their numerous reasons why they didn’t report it to anyone. This is the first series of images - numerous things that victims are told time and time again whenever they do actually report their abuse to someone - be it a friend, parent, family member, stranger or the authorities. We live in a society of rape culture where the victim is almost constantly blamed - told that they drank too much, wore too little, were out too late by themselves, flirted too much, are too “slutty”, are too “frigid”, are making a big deal out of “nothing”, the rapist was their partner so it obviously wasn’t rape because you can’t be raped by someone you’re in a relationship with. The things that victims constantly get told by the media, the people they know, rape “jokes”, songs, the authorities…they are painted on them so that they can never forget. To remind them that it is all “their fault” - if they hadn’t gone there/drank alcohol/wore that skirt/flirted etc, it wouldn’t have happened. Obviously.

 

I intend to expand on this series of photographs in the near future, and there is a lot more to come from this project, this is only the very starting point. My aim is to bring the idea of rape culture, slut-shaming, and victim-blaming to the attention of more people. To try and examine why 94% of rapes/assaults/abuse are never reported to the police, and to try and make that number decrease.

It really pisses me off when people slutshame Farrah Abraham for doing a porn video..

  

Yes, she's a mother, BUT it doesn't mean that she can't enjoy sex with whoever she wants, and celebrate her body goals in any fucking way she wants.

 

Y'all need to stop being such sexist assholes..

 

BTW THE FATHER OF THE LITTLE SOPHIA GIRL IS DEAD,

  

oh, and the dick that she rides in her video (james dean) is just..magnifique, lucky her! <3

Next on my Top 1000, Kitty Wells' "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels." Just because I recognize the power of a song doesn't mean I fully endorse its message (but damn, this is one great unfairly judgmental slut-shaming song from 1952, the year before I was born -- and I can remember from my pre-teen years many whispering half-heard married Mississippi women talking about the honky tonk angels who had [allegedly] brought pain to others):

 

As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin'

The tune about the wild side of life

As I listen to the words you are sayin'

It brings memories when I was a trustful wife

 

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels

As you said in the words of your song

Too many times married men

Think they're still single

That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

 

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women

It's not true that only you men feel the same

From the start

Most every heart that's ever broken

Was because there always was a man to blame

 

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels

As you said in the words of your song

Too many times married men

Think they're still single

That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

I designed this article using red accents to represent emotion. Using 120 color photos to represent the enormity of the issue, I kept the photos black and white and the clothing in color to emphasize a woman's right to wear whatever she wants.

FEMINISM’S TOXIC TWITTER WARS, The Nation / February 17, 2014

Sunny, having unveiled her exceptional "There's no such thing as a slut" shirt. This was the key theme of her talk. It's just not a concept that should exist, and there's little sense in trying to reclaim it. The crowd was asked how many of them had been called "sluts" at some point in their lives, and an awful lot of hands (including mine) went up. People experienced this even as children. And, sadly, many of us have at one time called someone else a "slut" or thought of them that way. Using the word "slut" means you accept the idea that there's something bad about enjoying sex and sexuality, and that there's something wrong with people who refuse to pretend there is.

The SlutWalks in Toronto, Ottawa, and other Canadian cities were held in response to a comment made by a Toronto police officer that women could avoid sexual assault if they did not "dress like sluts."

 

In the ensuing outcry from outraged men and women across the country, the officer apologized for his remarks, as they put the onus on women to prevent sexual assault and perpetuated the myth that clothing has any bearing on consent or willingness to have sex.

 

The SlutWalks were intended to highlight the fact that no one deserves to be sexually assaulted and that slut-shaming effectively legitimizes attacks by diminishing the responsibility of the offender.

 

Some people sought to "reclaim" the word slut, but I liked the message of the keynote speaker that there's no such thing as a "slut." People should be allowed to live their lives without being stigmatized for enjoying sex or dressing in a certain way, and should not be blamed and lectured about how they were dressed, or when and where they were, when they are sexually assaulted. The blame belongs entirely with the perpetrators of the assault.
