Well. That was fun. And by fun I mean I'm so, so fucking tired of being a woman in a world that traditionally hates, loathes, and mistreats women. On the plus side, even if it's a morbid plus side, if I memorize this in Russian and German and maybe a couple other languages, I can be more helpful in an emergency?

And part of this was started by yet another post by another woman talking about how she is pushed on by men every day, and another part of this was surprisingly inspired by Kickstarter apologizing and making some pretty decent reparations, including a donation to RAINN that almost doubled what the guy got on his Kickstarter. It's definitely a start, and I appreciate that they did the donating thing unprompted and as part of the initial apology; far too often the donation comes after someone apologizes. And it looks like a real apology, too, so. Yay!

God, that fucking guy. I'm assuming you all have heard of this. For those of you who haven't, some guy Kickstarted a pick up artist book that he started talking about on Reddit, and then that continued on to become a Kickstarter project. Some other guy by the name of Casey Malone found out about it and the shit hit the fan. Yes, a guy. Yes, guys can hate sexism, misogyny, and rape too. The techniques espoused in this book or by its author involve getting in a woman's personal space because even when she rejects you, if she knows you desire her, it'll get her hot and therefore she should totally have sex with you. (What.) Physically pick her up and sit her on your lap. Don't ask for permission. (BZZT.) Be dominant. Pull out your cock and put her hand on it. Remember, she is letting you do this because you have established yourself as a LEADER. Don’t ask for permission, GRAB HER HAND, and put it right on your dick. (BZZT. BZZT. BZZT.) Seanan McGuire had the best quote here: "If I am suddenly holding an unexpected penis, I assume YOU DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE." Which led to a whole lot of repay sexual assault with physical assault, which is actually in that situation pronounced self defense. Because if you're going to sexually assault me, you're going to get hurt. I'm not even kidding about that, I don't know if it's proper paranoia or years of multiple disciplines of self-defense classes, but my boyfriend can barely sneak up on me to poke me in the ribs without getting elbowed or kicked. I'm not a freezer, I'm a hitter. Maybe it's genetic. My uncle accidentally broke someone's nose once when they tried to sneak up and tickle him.

Here, have some song lyrics so you can scroll down past the cut text without seeing it.

o/~ When we grow up will I be pretty
Will you be big and strong
Will I wear dresses that show off my knees
Will you wear trousers twice as long
Well I don't care if I'm pretty at all
And I don't care if you never get tall
I like what I look like, and you're nice small
We don't have to change at all

When we grow up will I be a lady
Will you be an engineer
If I have to wear things like perfume and gloves
I can still pull the whistle while you steer
Well I don't care if I'm pretty at all
And I don't care if you never get tall
I like what I look like, and you're nice small
We don't have to change at all

When I grow up I'm gonna be happy
And do what I like to do
Like making noise! And making faces.
And making friends like you.
And when we grow up do you think we'll see
That I'm still like you and you're still like me
I might be pretty, you might grow tall
But we don't have to change at all

I don't wanna change, see, 'cause I still wanna be your friend. For ever and ever and ever and ever...o/~

And now we feel better. Okay, Free to Be You And Me always makes me feel better anyway.

Slowly ripping this sleeve off for building things, and it's making me realize I'm going to need to attach straps to it somehow. Oops. Straps that can go under my arm and maybe around my neck, I need the internet to help me, I think, so that this sleeve that's suddenly going to be very heavy can stay hooked onto me and not fall off. First, though, I need to see what the shape of the sleeve will be when I'm starting out with it. Argh. I'm nervous and I really want this to work because otherwise I have no idea what I'm going to do. I mean, okay, I do, I'll just do the t-shirt and jeans and cape and do some seriously strung out looking makeup and that'll be it, but still argh! I'm really nervous and I want this to work, okay? Okay.

Well, at least I won't have long to wait to find out if this works or not. There's time blocked out for it this weekend. Tomorrow, actually. So! Progress on all the costumes, it's happening!

*hugs tight forever* >.<

The Kickstarter apology's a good pushback, at least. But yeah, Seanan's quote sums it up.

What Vik said, and that is some GOOD poetry/lyrics. Free to be you and me, indeed!

I also had stayed away on purpose from the Kickstarter mess, so now that I'm reading about it (because this morning has got me in rage-y feminist mood, fuck Texas), yeah. Seanan has it damn right.
