I live in a world of violence. I live in a world of pain, of sadness. I live in a world of rape and coercion. I live in a mans world.
I live in a world where the normal man is masturbating to Hustler magazine and gonzo movies. I live in a world where I watch women be relegated to body parts for the profit of males. I live in a mans world.
I live in a world in which men buy our bodies for sex. I live in a world that sees its men masturbating to rape, violence and underage sex with women. I live in a mans world.
I live in a world in which women are being forced to act out the painful, degrading images that men view and want from us. A world in which the men are able to walk away from Nike shoes but not from the degradation of women. I live in a mans world.
I live in a world where empathy is given only to men. A world in which men expect women to allow them to have anal sex with them and who use it as a means to degrade the woman theyre with. I live in a mans world.
I live in a world in which the women do it for the amusement of men.
I live in a world where its perfectly normal and acceptable for a man to fantasize about children and rape.
I live in a world that tells me orgasms are worth more than lives. Where everyday men tell me Im a prude and a fascist for feeling empathy for women and their degradation. I live in a mans world.
This is the world I live in, this is the world I wake up to every day. A world in which orgasms are worth lives and the right to abuse women is touted as Free Speech to protect the interests of the men who wish to harm them, control them, dominate them.
I live in a world in which the most popular pornographic movie ever made, Deep Throat, starred a slave. A woman who ran from her abusive husband and whose husband then dragged her back, a world in which the men in her life forced her to have sex with animals, with objects and it is touted as a Right for men to view this.
I live in a world in which 4 men can ejaculate on a womans face and it is called empowering. A world in which men have taught our daughters that its appropriate and right for our sexuality to be used as men see fit.
I live in a world in which No doesnt mean No. A world in which women die and are raped and beaten by men. A world in which the screams of the sex slaves and the cries of the prostitutes and porn queens are forever silenced.
I am amazed at the world in which I live. I am amazed that so many of our brothers and fathers are quick to organize boycotts and political protests against the injustices surrounding them. Except when it comes to women.
I am saddened by a world in which our bodies become commercialized. In which our sex is on display. Im saddened when another woman tells me her story of being forced to act out scenes in pornographic movies and magazines with men.
I am saddened that our fathers, brothers and husbands do not care.
I am hurt that our pain is ignored. Im afraid of the man who looks at pornography, afraid of what that man may ask of his wife or girlfriend later that night. I am afraid for his partner, afraid for her pain and her degradation. If you look at porn I fear for the women in your life. I fear for their safety, I fear for their self-esteem and their state of mind.
I fear for the safety of our children when men sexualize children and place them, like so many lambs to the slaughter, upon the alter of Male Pride and ego. It frightens me that men do not want to save their mothers and sisters from the pain of rape. It saddens me that they say they are against rape and then help themselves to pictures of women being raped but never volunteer to work at a rape crisis center.
I live in a world of doublespeak. A world of free speech for the ones who can afford it at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society.
Men, in our society, do not care about women and it hurts me because I believe they can care about us. I hear the words from the men and they ring, large and hollow i
SAVE MY YAK!!!
