#sex strikes

[eve-was-framed]

I cannot believe in the year 2024 popular media sites are still referring to child sex trafficking victims as “sex workers”

[radfemcroatia]

Honestly, the term "Sex Strike" makes me feel uncomfortable. You strike when you refuse to do your job. Labor that is your responsibility. "Sex Strike" implies that women are denying, gatekeeping something that men are owed. A woman isn't taking anything from men when she chooses not to have sex with them, so it shouldn't count as a strike even if she is doing it temporarily until situation improves. Anyone else?

Imo, If AMAB folks can be women, then AFAB folks can definitely be trans women too. And yes, AMAB people can also be cis women, like those who live stealth—though I wouldn’t say that’s the only way to think about it. When it comes to how people treat you, there’s no difference between ''being a trans or cis woman'' and ''being seen as a trans or cis woman.'"

"when it comes to how people treat you"

Do you see where you went wrong?

Do you see how you've artificially limited the scope of the conversation purely to the interpersonal?

Do you see how things might be different if we also accounted for the medico-legal, structural impacts of being trans?

My birth assignment and my current sex being in conflict is the source of a lot of structural issues, compounded by my status as an immigrant, that wouldn't affect someone whose legal designation and sex aligned.

It's really that simple, but I've realized this website has a tendency to only consider social systems and regimes in terms of interactions with others, when that's really the most superficial aspect of oppression.

Strike and Halsin for the alternate love interest thing

Doesn't go that well; Halsin worships his lover a bit too much and to a recovering cult leader/child of god that isn't the healthiest thing possible.

They get together in act 3 when Strike is dealing with a lot of family shit, and him having someone who is worshipping him in a way that is so devoted and familiar is not a good thing as it makes him indulge his cultist side more. The story ends with him getting weird and more like his old self but far more dependant and posessive over Halsin, until Halsin realizes what became of his beloved and tries to kill him 'for his own good'.

omega disciple shen yuan au pt 2 electric boogaloo

cw for the sex pest again but…mans will not be returning lmao (nor will that theme, probably)

shen yuan is nine years old when the brothel madam—nainai, she insists—starts having him run errands. picking up tea from the mings’ shop down the road, dropping off letters and packages for people around town. he’s gotten stronger, healthier. the farmers who sold him must not have fed him much. he’s gone from stick thin to youthfully soft; the dark smudges beneath his eyes have lightened. the village sits in a mountain, on a plateau that jiejie says was formed when a huge demon blew the peak off the mountain a thousand years ago. shen yuan doesn’t believe her, but he stays wary all the same. he knows what mountain range they're in, after all. he knows just as well as everyone else about the immortal masters up on the peaks. he isn't thinking about it. he's not a cultivator.

he is still young, his heats still dry and soft. they don’t make him work when it comes; all the brothel aunties bring him silks and blankets and help him nest, and nainai makes sure there’s always at least one auntie there to look after him. distantly, shen yuan knows that heats are supposed to be a hassle for grown omegas. he's staunchly not thinking about it—instead he sits cuddled up with jiejie or gege or one of the aunties and reads them stories. heats really aren't so bad.

nainai and all of the aunties always said if he starts to feel heat sick while he’s out running errands, he has to come back immediately. it's a little overbearing, honestly. he isn't stupid; he knows how to take care of himself. he hasn't frozen up since that time with that alpha, and he knows to run away if something happens again.

he's been a little warm the past few days, and his nose has been really sensitive—irritating, really! he curses the shitty author in his heart every time a guest with a rancid scent strolls into the brothel. but two little symptoms don't mean it's pre-heat. gege got him a journal to track his heats with, and it's not supposed to come for two more weeks. he's fine.

so he hides his fever and stifles his gags when nainai asks him to to go drop off a package at the tea shop and pick up more of some special tea. uncle ming, the tea shop owner, always gives him candy and snacks and stuff when he comes by. there’s no way a little fever is gonna make him miss out on free candy. whether he’s nine or twenty-nine (his age is another thing he isn’t thinking about. sometimes he almost forgets he was grown just two years ago. sometimes he forgets that none of this is really real. don’t think about it, don’t think about it, don’t think about it), free sweets are free sweets.

the sun is setting, so nainai tells him to be quick. the tea can’t wait until the morning—the prickly man is coming again tonight, and it’s some special blend he needs as soon as he arrives or something. shen yuan doesn’t really care; he’s just excited to go see uncle ming. so excited he runs the whole way there. it’s still light when he goes inside. uncle ming gives him snacks and sweets, pats his head and praises him for being so helpful. he catches shen yuan up on the neighborhood gossip—there are rumors about this person, that person is pregnant again.

they keep talking until after the sun goes down, and when uncle ming realizes it, he tries to convince shen yuan to stay for the night. his wife and daughter, both betas, are away, and he doesn’t want to send shen yuan to walk back in the dark alone. he’s an omega too, and he says he’d walk shen yuan there himself but his nose isn’t good and it’s dark out. with no way to tell if someone was sneaking up on him, he’d be in danger. it’s fine though. shen yuan’s nose is good, and he’s not stupid. the thought of spending a night away from his nest makes him itchy. plus, he’s already late getting the tea back for that man, and nainai said it was important.

uncle ming scents him with one of his wife’s cloaks, then wraps it around his shoulders. hopefully, he says, the scent will scare off anybody looking for an omega to bother. auntie ming’s scent is nice—not like the aunties at the brothel, but it still makes shen yuan feel secure. the cloak is a little long, but that’s fine. the walk is only ten or so minutes. he’s sure it’ll be fine.

he’s wrong.

it’s been two years, and nothing really even happened, but shen yuan still remembers that alpha’s scent. there’s no reason to remember it. nothing really even happened, just a kiss on the forehead. a hand on his thigh. eyes dark and possessive, like he wanted— but nothing happened. that alpha’s probably on his way home from running some errand, same as shen yuan. he picks up the pace.

the scent follows him, and his middle starts cramping, and when shen yuan accepts that maybe he was closer to his heat than he thought, he starts running. gets maybe three steps before his legs get tangled in auntie ming’s cloak, and before he can hit the ground, there’s a hand pulling the fabric tight against his throat.

that alpha coos at him, calls him sweet. he’s scarred now, ragged claw marks tearing from his eye down to his neck, and shen yuan remembers nainai’s bloody hands after she took the man outside. nainai isn’t here now. shen yuan should’ve stayed with uncle ming.

later, he says he only remembers flashes of what happened that night. hands on his face, his thighs, inching between his— sharp teeth dragging along his neck. he remembers that alpha’s voice, but not what he said. he remembers crying, remembers saying he’d scream if the alpha didn’t stop. he doesn’t remember screaming. he remembers a tingling under his skin, a tightness in his belly, a rush and a wave of something he’s never felt before. he remembers opening his eyes and seeing the alpha lying dead on the ground, his chest caved in and blood dripping from his eyes and his nose and his mouth.

shen yuan remembers picking up the box of tea, half spilled on the ground, and turning to run. he remembers bumping into a man with the coldest eyes he’d ever seen, but a scent that felt familiar. remembers looking up at him from the ground, saying please, please, please—but not what he was asking for. he doesn’t remember anything else.

I love seeing 4B trending, but I am getting the feeling that it's not because people really specifically love 4B and everything it entails, but rather an all-woman pushback against misogyny. Unfortunately, depending on your knowledge of feminism you might have a very different idea of misogyny than the typical radical feminist 4B particiant. But it's amazing you can see something here is very wrong and you're ready to make some movement to fight it. 4B isn't where you pick and choose which tenants you like, or how to apply them, but rather the full application of them. It's a worldview not just a short term project. However, there's so many things you can do instead that won't be the western co-opting of Korean 4B feminist movements and language!

So, here are some things you can do to support women's rights and choices without having to complete refuse men from your life if you're not ready to yet, and you can do any or all (varying levels of difficulty, but they are still options):

Sex strike

Don't date men right now

Chore strike

Stricter boundaries

Go porn free

Become child free

Supporting women in your life over the men in your life

Boycott men

Break up with porn consumers

Don't buy from misogynistic men/companies

Don't watch movies with male abusers/misogynists/rapists/etc.

Buy from women owned businesses

Leave a misogynistic religion

Hang out with and support your female friends over spending time with/supporting your male friends

Only read women authors

Only watch movies by women

Only listen to female singers/musicians

Volunteer at a women's shelter

Donate food or clothing to struggling mothers charities

Donate period products to women's shelters

Don't interrupt/speak over women

Walk away from men you don't want to interact with. You don't owe them your time and kindness.

Hang out with female relatives, especially older ones (aunts, grandmothers, etc.)

Help other women when they need it

Check up on your female friends

Host all-woman book clubs, tea parties, dinners, etc.

More ideas? Please reblog and add them. Just any way, no matter how big or small, someone can enact pro-woman methodologies in whatever amount she's ready to.

rest in peace to Audrii Cunningham, an 11 year-old girl in texas who went missing several days ago and was found dead yesterday near her home. her killer was a child predator and neo-nazi who was a friend of her dad’s and lived on their property. the worst part is that as of right now reports are saying that her dad often left her alone in the perpetrator’s care while he was away at work.

kids are most often hurt by someone they know because some people are apparently so unbothered by pedophilia that they’ll allow convicted sex offenders to babysit their children for long periods of time. it also seems like every time a story comes out like this the perpetrator has a well documented history of child predation but was allowed back into society. both the justice system and her own dad majorly failed this little girl and also the other victims this man abused previously.

Psst want some some angst?

Odysseus with flowers woven into his hair, around his wrist, his ankles/ his neck/. Odysseus with his hair oiled and his skin scrubbed clean.

Calypso forces him into the bath. Forces him into clean clothes makes it so that he cannot move protest or breath while she brushes his hair. The flowers won't come off, even when he claws at his skin making himself bleed, even when he yanks chunks of his hair out trying to dislodge the pretty blossoms. Calypso heals him anyway makes his skin flawless, regrows his hair. She likes him looking pretty, likes him looking like he's loving life. Won't allow anything from the outside world to touch them, even if that's odysseus himself.

After all, she can't have anyone thinking she doesn't look after her beloved mortal. She's heard how the other gods treats their pets, how rough they are. But she's different. See how well odysseus is taken care of? And why would he even want to think about anything else when /shes/ right here. So what if he's a little resistant to the idea right now? Odysseus, the poor thing, is battered and traumatized it's natural that he'd be a little confused. One day he'll snap out of it and thank her. She just knows it.

Tress scratched the best itch for me, I’ve been craving a good fairy tale and it was just perfect. I kept slipping so hard into the fairy tale aspects that I kept getting caught by surprise whenever a cosmere thing stopped beating around the bush and revealed itself, actually. While I’m sure that wasn’t fully the intention, it was a really fun way to read some brandermansanderman coming fresh off of sunlit man and how intensely locked in I was with the Connections. Genuinely Tress is such a fun little romp. I love girls who sail in fucked up seas and this is a genre I want more of please thank you.
