Being Amber Rhea

links for 2008-08-19

I’ve given up hope that the auto-posting will ever start working again. :P So I guess I’ll just do this by hand whenever I remember.

• Another Woman Assaulted by the Garneau Rapist « Doing Feminism
  “We must stop telling women to protect themselves, because it does nothing to solve the issue. Men do not deserve pats on the back for not raping women when they had the chance. This should be expected behaviour, as should working to end rape.”
• Delicious Blog Rescue Tool
  Works only in Firefox 3.
• Richmond, KY: Where the tolerance level is shorter than the dresses | Sex In The Public Square
  “Of course it could be argued that covering a bit of the body makes it more enticing, and that the real ‘problem’ with Ms. Clem’s dress was that it covered just enough to be very erotic, and that being erotic is somehow negative.”
• Feministe » Individualism
  “[A]s women we deserve to step up to the dudes and announce we’re here. We’re not all one way. Just like them, some of us have the ability to lead, some of us have the ability to teach, some of us have the ability to create great art, music, literature. Some of us have the ability to make pots of money.” Octo rocks, as usual, with this post!
• the wheels come off — day 5 – After Hours| random discourse from a retired escort
  “Drunk people with issues is one of the reasons I burned out on stripping. This is even scarier to me because the system has forced me to depend on these people for my safety. There is no safety if their minds are altered. There is no such thing as a bouncer in this brothel. I wish there were.”
• Waking Vixen » Blog Archive » I Meet the Business End of Citibank’s Anti-Adult Business Policy
  “In a situation like this, I essentially have no legal recourse – the Citibank policy doesn’t go against any protected rights. Businesses are totally within their rights to discriminate against people who work in any sector of the adult industry, regardless of the legality of that work. But I can (and did) take my money elsewhere, and I told them exactly why.”
