Anonymous asked: So, about the feminists saying man can't be raped thing: I've never seem feminists saying this, but I can see how women who aren't feminists would. My own experience would point to this. When I was young and just learning about how bodies worked in a sexual way, I believed cis-boys would only get an erection if they were completely okay with the sitiuation. So I believed that they could be raped by other cis-men, but not by women, because I a) thought sex meant penetration, and (1)

“b) thought if they had an erection, it was because they were into it. But I was by no means a feminist back then, and I think to become a feminist or ally, you necessarily have to questions those false assumptions that men are always wanting sex, among so many other patriarchy myths. As I grew up and tried to inform myself better about things like consent, I became aware that physical reactions are not a green light. And as a feminist, now, I know that men can and do get raped. (2)

I think people who say feminist don’t believe so like to forget that not all women are feminists, that some of us are so brainwashed, or ar individually in a position of enough power, that we buy those crap ideas that our society feeds us. (3)”





Yes. Thank you. ALL of this.
