to !@#$%!
combinded this w what i wrote yesterday:
we are using the term/metaphor (even though i would argue that it isn't even a metaphor) rape culture differently. i'm using it to denote a culture in which attitudes which promote rape/sexual violence are perpetuated/culturally acceptable. this mindset - the mindset that encourages men to get off when they want, especially in pornography and the like, the one in which people don't think of their sex workers as people w/o any regards to their background/experiences but as objects for their fetish - combined with global capitalism creates the climate for human trafficking.
i never advocated a matriarchy either. in fact, i believe that promoting one sex over the other falls into the traps in the oppressive gender binary which i would otherwise like the eradicate.
