Myth: Prisons protect society from "criminals."
Reality: Prisons fail to protect society from "criminals," except for a very small percentage and only temporarily. Prisons "protect" the public only from those few who get caught and convicted, thereby serving the primary function of control over certain segments of society.

- (1): “White Dude Super Detective (WDSD) isn’t a police officer, but he is so much smarter than the official (and legal) keepers of law and order, that authorities follow his lead. But unlike, say, Jessica Fletcher or Jane Marple, he is no picture of propriety. WDSD is given power over criminal investigations despite traits that usually result in marginalization.” Tamara Winfrey Harris (x)
- white female protagonists are a dime-a-dozen on bookshelves, film and tv, underrepresented as women tend to be. The universe stops without them, yt boys fight over them despite their banality, most will fall on their own swords to protect them from death or the consequences of their actions. Everyone defends them when they’re in the wrong, they also tend to be treated as the highest order of significance in supernatural fiction (Buffy Summers and Sookie Stackhouse two extremes of this spectrum).
- (3): “[…]Viewers of these characters see past the atrocious crimes and into their humanity, a luxury that white characters always have while characters of color rarely do.” daughterofmulan (x)
- A rampant and racist practice that still goes on and is perhaps the easiest to get away with when your audience doesn’t know the character a white actor/actress is playing was in fact, a minority character (Fox is a Black Woman in the graphic novel Wanted. She was whitewashed when Angelia Jolie was cast to play her).

I would totally put my face 4 inches from her chest and scream, “I’M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!” And I’d make a point never to take my eyes off her boobs until she got so uncomfortable and creeped out that she decided to leave, go back home, sit on her bed in the dark, and think about how completely stupid she was to write “STILL NOT ASKING FOR IT” while asking for it.

This woman’s a disgrace.

But she’s not asking for it. This is a human body, nothing more, nothing less. It’s not being sexualized, in fact, she’s covered her nipples too. I’m sorry, h-plus, that you feel that your body and the body of other women should be considered a disgrace. Do you feel uncomfortable when looking at pictures in the doctor’s office of a woman’s naked body? And do you, leftybegone, get uncontrollably horny at the same sight? Control your python (or garden snake), man, you’re not 12. Have some maturity over the matter. If you did that to that woman, leftybegone, you’d just be putting a bad face on us guys, making us seem like sex-crazed, immature horndogs. Maybe you are one, but I’m tired people making that assumption of us as a gender. It’s disgraceful. She wouldn’t think it was stupid of her to do that if you did. You’d just make her movement more powerful.
Rape (noun):the crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.
Men aren’t primal fucking animals. They’re humans that are completely capable of resisting their urges. I bet you (leftybegone) are a kid with some serious hormones since you, obviously, can’t control yourself.
“She was asking for it”. Really? Can you really blame an individual for someone else’s lack of control? The mere fact that a woman is more likely to be assaulted if she wears certain types of clothing does not make it right. She could walk around naked and that still doesn’t excuse rape. The solution to the problem is not for women to “dress less slutty” but for men to realize that a woman’s choice of dress is not an open invitation to sexual assault.

Levonne Roberts was shocked when her abusive boyfriend stabbed a man in her presence. She was horrified, reported the crime and cooperated with police, but was convicted along with her abuser of Murder I. Her sister testified about the abuse at the preliminary exam but it was not raised at trial. The killer was released in 2004.
she, however, remains in prison.

In examining reports of hate crimes against transgender people, researchers found that 98% of all “transgender” violence was perpetrated specifically against people in the male-to-female spectrum; of the 38 murders of transgender people reported internationally in 2003, 70% were women of colour.

“They said she dressed older than her age, wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s. She would hang out with teenage boys at a playground, some said.”
This is rape culture.
Good morning. Jesus Christ.
This makes me so fucking angry.
well.. well. fuck humanity.
haha yeah because if she was 20 years old it wouldn’t be rape anymore.
DO PEOPLE EVEN LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY? seriously.

i do not care about appearance of bias, it is NOT OKAY to repeat, without critical commentary, an accusation that an ELEVEN YEAR OLD brought a GANG RAPE upon herself.
If a person dressed like a fucking hotdog, would they be "asking for it" if someone masticated on their flesh? NO. It's fucking silly to base off of a person's clothing. Rape is NEVER okay.
