You'll never teach in this town again...but on the bright side, the next town over has openings.
How's this for a double-standard? Male teacher would be sent to prison for life, put on predator's list for life, killed in prison and his name would live on in ignominy. But a pretty white female teacher does it, and it skyrockets her into a stripping and porn career. How must her parents have raised her that she was in an abusive relationship before she decided to seek comfort in the arms of Lobster, the 17-year-old high school student who can't keep from bragging to all of his jock teen friends?

Talk it out, or act it out. Therapy or oddity.
It is still an absolute social taboo for women to discuss their sexuality outside of a man-made pornographic context, female sexuality that simply does not conform to the objectifying gaze and conventions of men.
I term this Female Sex Speech. To what extent is Female Sex Speech accepted in our societies?
To many, the open discussion of sexuality via Female Sex Speech feels like a bona fide Ottoman [Turkish] slap in the face.
It is quite common to enjoy when a singer moans softly in her songs, like in Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsourg’s “Je t’aime,” for one thing, because it was a long time ago (1969), and for another, because it was in French.
But when a female rapper roughly describes in German how she wants to be satisfied, they suddenly think: “Oh god oh god, how can she do that? Independent female pleasure!” Her Turkish background plays a decisive role in this indignation, as they expect everything of her — everything but aggressive sexuality.
They try to shield themselves from it, holding their hands in front of their faces. “Aaahhh! Help! The Monster Snatch is coming!” All for naught. Smack! P-spritz right in the mouth. Like bukkake, but rather than coming from a mélange of sticks, it comes from one single sn*tch.
In my case, it comes from a German sn*tch with a Turkish (im)migration biography. From a Kanakin who started at the bottom and now has a doctoral (Ph.D.) degree, from an educational climber who can rap and dole it out, aka from Dr. Bitch Ray.
...Female sexuality must be analyzed through an intersectional lens. We know the effects of multiple discrimination.
People can be racialized and marginalized on the basis of gender, ethnic background, or appearance — and sometimes all of these at once.
For instance, a Muslim woman who wears a headscarf and grows up in a non-Muslim majority society faces marginalization and discrimination not only because of her ethnic background (e.g., Turkish, Kurdish, Arab) and her religious affiliation (visible, among other reasons, due to her headscarf), but also because she is gendered as female.
She may be marginalized once more within her own particular Muslim community because she wears a fashionable or relatively revealing style of headscarf.
Whether they wear headscarves or not, many women face the harsh judgment of the outside world when they get dolled up or wear makeup.
Dating due to proximity: dangers of the office.
They are ogled by their colleagues and constantly asked questions about their personal lives because they are assumed to be promiscuous, which piques others’ curiosity.
I, too, am constantly subjected to lookist* discrimination and exclusion, particularly because of my flashy, promiscuous, and unconventional way of dressing and/or my unusual makeup.
*Lookism represents the structural discrimination and exclusion of people on the basis of preordained forms of physical appearance, body, clothing, and looks.
Even today, a well put-together woman in academia who wears makeup and stylish clothing is presumed to be an incompetent scholar.
There are thus many examples of intersectional discrimination. Yet, to return to our topic of discussion, there still remains an important means of discrimination that has until now been overlooked in both the popular and academic discourse: Female Sex Speech.
The stigma of sex as an interSEXional form of discrimination is the most invisible of all. You can never prove it. No one has studied it. But it is omnipresent and clings to you your whole life. It clings to you like a case of the clap [gonorrhea] you can never quite kick.
Sociologist Erving Goffman describes stigmatization as a kind of link between a characteristic and a stereotype. The stigma is the point at which the virtual and the actual — that is, the true social identity of a stigmatized person — diverge.
In the case of Female Sex Speech, it seems that there is an extreme form of divergence at play, much like splayed legs baring a squirting c*nt. It’s such a drag when a person who has been discredited due to her stigmatized sexuality reveals other, wholly irreconcilable personal attributes, such as a serious occupation, a special hobby, or a particular cultural background. Plus sex, sex, sex!
That really turns them off because there is just no way all of this could fit together!
Beware of strangers with candy in parks.
A phenomenon particular to Female Sex Speech is that it provokes the most extreme reactions. It not only incites maximum hate speech, but also seems to trigger male rape fantasies.
As though there were a formula that read: Female Sex Speech = Shitstorm10 + Rape Culture Activation. I could fill books with hateful rape culture comments:
“D*mb sl*t, you need to get f*cked to d*ath with a hard d*ck” sets a mind-bogglingly imaginative standard for what can be found in countless permutations. More (Warning, it gets worse, much worse)
The Vagina Museum is in a very good mood today, as they're celebrating receiving a quim-credible 90,000 visitors since it opened its exhibition in November 2019.
They're absolutely blown away by the warm welcome they've received so far. And better still, they've got some bloody thrilling news to share!
Their wildly popular Muff Busters exhibition will close on March 29th and here's what's coming next. Drumroll please. The new exhibition is Periods: A Brief History.
Almost half the world’s population menstruates at some point in their lives, yet there is a veil of shame and stigma that surrounds periods. The shame-based taboo surrounding periods is not a recent phenomenon. It has been perpetuated throughout history.
This exhibition looks at historic perceptions and beliefs around menstruation and the impact this has had on society from ancient Greece to present-day Hollywood, looking at how menstrual perception has impacted culture, religion, and society’s lack of understanding as to what a menstrual bleed actually is.
We built this museum.
What did people use as menstrual products before the invention of tampons and pads? What beliefs contributed to period shaming?
What can we learn to break the taboo? Is it possible to have an environmentally sustainable period? Periods: A Brief History gives visitors a whirlwind trip through time, shining a spotlight on menstruation, its perception, and what issues we face around periods today.
Periods: A Brief History opens on 4th April 2020. The exhibition is sponsored by The Body Shop.
The Vagina Museum is truly in awe of the wave of positivity it's received since opening Muff Busters: Vagina Myths and How to Fight Them. They can't believe it's only been 13 weeks for 90,000 people to come inside! Whether you've managed to visit or are still planning a trip, it's truly grateful for your support and interest. The world needs a Vagina Museum. The numbers show it. The feedback received shows it. They're incredibly proud of what they've achieved so far on a shoestring budget.
But this museum of minges needs help from its friends. It's currently raising funds to match the world-changing £50,000 it crowdfunded last year to open. Money from its Winter Appeal helps towards running costs and keeping the Vagina Museum free for anyone to visit and celebrate all things muff. It wants to get bigger and better so it can meet the rising demand for a museum. The Winter Appeal runs until March 21st. It is truly grateful for any gift anyone chooses to make. Support makes a big difference.

The Vagina Museum is the world’s first brick-and-mortar museum dedicated to vaginas, vulvas, mysterious clitorises (for which no known purpose* has yet been found), and gynecological anatomy. The project was launched in March 2017 and ran pop-ups around the UK.

The museum is opening in Camden Market in 2019 with a view to open a future permanent premises.

Taboo-busting sex guide offers advice to Muslim women seeking fulfilling love lives The Muslimah Sex Manual: A Halal Guide to Mind Blowing Sex is praised for empowering women seeking fulfilling love lives.
It was a confession by a newlywed friend about her disastrous sex life that gave Umm Muladhat an idea for a groundbreaking book.
"Women's rights are human rights."
Published last week, The Muslimah Sex Manual: A Halal Guide to Mind Blowing Sex [halal is to Muslims what "kosher" is to Jews] is the first such guide written by a Muslim woman. The author has chosen to stay anonymous, using an alias.
Candid advice is offered on everything from kissing to cowgirl positions -- with the core message being that Muslim women can and should enjoy a varied sex life and take the lead in physical relationships.
While some critics have accused the author of fetishizing Muslim women and encouraging promiscuity, the book has been welcomed by readers who have lauded her as a Muslim Belle De Jour, bringing a taboo subject into the open:
“I’ve received encouraging feedback, but also a significant number of demeaning and disgusting messages,” said Muladhat.
“One woman said it’s not needed; they learn everything from their mothers. I doubt any mother speaks in as explicit detail as I have.
We know nothing of sex. These are accidents.
“I put an emphasis on having sex only with your spouse, but having the full range of sexual experiences with that spouse. Islamically, there’s an emphasis on enjoying physical relationships within the context of marriage, not just for procreation [like Catholicism dictates to its followers]. It is the wife’s right that her husband satisfy her sexually.”
Muslim women’s organizations have praised her, saying the book will empower Muslim women and protect them from entering into sexually abusive relationships. More

Bouie on politics, policy, race
The most striking photographs from Ferguson, Missouri, aren’t of Saturday’s demonstrations or Sunday night’s "riots"; they’re of the police.
Image after image shows [formerly civilian] officers clad in Kevlar vests, helmets, and camouflage, armed with pistols, shotguns, automatic [military assault] rifles, and tear gas.
In one photo, protesters stand toe-to-toe with baton-wielding riot police, in another, an unarmed man faces several cops, each with rifles [needlessly aimed at him, as he is already presumably of being black].
What’s more, Ferguson police have used armored vehicles to show force and [intimidate] crowds [by stated US policy abroad -- "shock and awe" and a willingness to commit war crimes with impunity].
In one photo, riot gear-clad officers are standing in front of a mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle, barking commands, and launching tear gas into groups of demonstrators and journalists.
This would be one thing if Ferguson were in a war zone, or if protesters were violent -- although, it’s hard to imagine a situation in which American police would need a mine-resistant vehicle.More
Should it surprise anyone that sex in a police state is sketchy, objectified, and turned into a crime? We don't mean viewed as a crime; we mean made into an actual crime.
It sounds odd, but we live in a rape culture. We have for a long time. It's taboo to talk about -- not to do, but to talk about. Raped? Shut up. Molested as a kid? Never speak of it, not in this family! Harassed at school? Get over it, and stop overreacting; you should be glad they're paying attention to you. (LOL, Irony is fun). It's a mad, mad world! And while males seem all bad, how about we point some of that wagging finger at the other half, too, the contributors, enablers, colluders? If kids get mad for being molested, they seem to get much madder that their "protectors" kept silent or turned a blind eye -- betrayal, betrayal!
Rape is a terrible thing, but a police state, it's sort of normalized. As long as it never gets called that. There's no "rape" here, not in this country, maybe in other countries. Our people just don't do that kind of stuff.
It's not the American Way, okay, in business maybe. Because the business of America is business, but "America" only refers to the USA; forget all of the rest of America, like that whole continent down there, or massive lands to the north.
Oh, Quagmire, will you stop already!
This is a America, and we rape. You should feel lucky that we're only raping you. We also kill. See this gun? There's lots more like it, enough to arm every child, invalid, senior, female, and a lot of rapists. It's not just the force, there's plenty of coercion, intimidation, and shaming when it comes to sex. Oh, the shame of it all! We've normalized graphic, violent porno, so much so that that seems like "sex" to US, not just to perpetrators but to enjoyers of sex.
Exploitation, now there's a good one. Who doesn't want to see JLaw's boobs? Or Scarlet Johanssen's? Hollywood used to sell it, but if they show it on purpose, we'll shame everyone involved. Most of us will look, but we'll still shame everyone.
Who teaches us all this shame and shaming? Oh yeah, hypocrites and our state religion -- Judeochristianity. You think Jewish moms are bad, have tried living under Catholic rule? Or Bible Belt Protestant? The tyranny of all who pontificate? Even the cool Eastern religions aren't exempt. It all keeps the Sex Wheel turning, doesn't it? The dysfunction and shame, the excitement and titillation.
"I was raped in my own dorm bed, and since then that space has become fraught for me," she says in a video about the piece, called Mattress Performanceor Carry That Weight, published by the Columbia Spectator. "And I feel like I've carried the weight of what happened there with me everywhere since then." In an interview with The Cut, Sulkowicz talks about how her performance has been going so far:
