“Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever.
“I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We’ve been taught that silence would save us, but it won’t.”
“If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.”
“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”
“Life is very short and what we have to do must be done in the now.”
“When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid.”
Audre Lorde.

Happy Birthday Audre Lorde! She would have been 78 today.

Some sociologists argue that in U.S. culture, girls and women experience a “symbolic clitoridectomy.” In other words, even though women have clitorises in the physical sense, conversations about the clitoris are absent from discussions about sex. This is ironic given the hypersexualization of women’s bodies in mainstream media. When the clitoris is symbolically removed its importance is wildly understated, and presumed insignificant in sexual play.

The Clitoris: Most. Awkward. Discussion. Ever! | SociologyFocus (via linzyxxxxx)

We also have a PIV (penis-in-vagina) centric society when it comes to any discussions of sex. That is, that women need penises to have orgasms, and that most women who have PIV sex experience orgasms, which is simply untrue.

Schools have classes called “women’s studies,” and “African-American literature” because the standard for existence set by white men has yet to be rescinded in this age. “Normal” history is the history of a certain class of white people, from the perspective of men. All the other histories are precisely that: other.

Nobody told me I had a clitoris. Nobody told me I was capable of having orgasms. For five years I was given “sex education”. It mostly consisted of periods and condoms. It didn’t talk about consent. It didn’t talk about the actual mechanics of sex, about arousal and lubrication and oscillation. It didn’t tell me a single thing about relationships and it didn’t tell me I had a clitoris. I only know now because of the internet. Nobody entrusted with my care and education has ever told me that the female orgasm exists, or about the parts of my anatomy necessary for it. I didn’t find my clitoris until I was eighteen, after six years of active sexuality. That makes me angry.

Pro-Choice Parody of Forget You

Chorus:
See you tryin’ to take the rights
From the sisters I love
And I’m like, forget you
I guess the rape redefinition
Wasn’t enough
And I’m like, forget you
And your dumb laws too
Said if I was richer
I could bribe ‘ya
Huh! Ain’t that some shhhh!
And now there’s pain in my womb
From this impending doom
I’m like, forget you

Verse 1:
I’m sorry
I was born with ovaries
But that don’t mean
I can’t make a choice
Guess they’re all rich men
And we’re all paltry
Gotta let ‘em know
We have a voice

I pity the fool
Who wants to vote for you
(You’re a gold digger)
Well
(Just thought you should know)
Ooooohooooo
I got some news for you
We’re not gonna take this BS no more

Chorus

Verse 2:
I know
You had to borrow
From China for the economy
While spending trillions
On the wars
Killing other people’s babies.

I pity the fool
Who wants to vote for you
(You’re a gold digger)
Well…
(Just thought you should know)
Oooohooooo
I got some news for you
Oohhh I really hate your ass right now

Chorus

Bridge:
Now crazy, crazy, rich men
Why you wanna wanna hurt us so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
Don’t force us to be mamas
Cuz you never force the boys
To be dads
(the dads, the dads, the dads)

And I was like,
Uh! Why? Uh! Why? Uh Why??? Rich man
I hate you! I still hate you! Ohhhhh

Chorus.

Still awesome to see this pop up on my dashboard every once in a while. I love that people love my song.

THIS SONG IS AMAZING. Seriously, the lyrics are awesome, and also her voice is just incredible.
