But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
Yeah, it’s awful, I guess
But it’s the awful truth

Amanda Palmer — Astronaut (A Short History of Nearly Nothing)

Is it enough to have some love
Small enough to slip inside a book
Small enough to cover with your hand
Because everyone around you wants to look? 

Is it enough to have some love
Small enough to fit inside the cracks?
The pieces don’t fit together so good
With all the breaking and all the gluing back

And I am still not getting what I want 
I want to touch the back of your right arm
I wish you could remind me who I was
Because every day I’m a little further off

And is it getting harder to pretend
That life goes on without you in the wake?
And can you see the means without the end
In the random frantic action that we take?

And is it getting easy not to care
Despite the many rings around your name
It isn’t funny, and it isn’t fair
You’ve traveled all this way and it’s the same

And I would tell them anything to see you split the evening
But as you see, I do not have an awful lot to tell
Everybody’s sick for something that they can find fascinating
Everyone but you, and even you aren’t feeling well 

But you are my love, the astronaut, flying in the face of science
I would gladly stay an afterthought, just bring back some nice reminders

Yes, you are my love, the astronaut, crashing in the name of science
Just my luck! they found your upper half — it’s a very nice reminder

And you may be acquainted with the night
But I have seen the darkness in the day
And you must know it is a terrifying sight
Because you and I are living the same way

“If nobody wants to solve our problem, then they should behead her; we don’t want her”

virgin:

[caption id=”” align=”alignleft” width=”344” caption=”Lal Bibi and her mother. Photo from The New York Times”][/caption]

I just read a horrifying New York Times story about a 18-year-old Afghan girl living in Northern Afghanistan who was abducted, raped and beaten by armed milita and possibly local police when she was 17. It was an rare and hopeful step for the family to take their daughter to the hospital and bring this crime to the governor’s attention, but in a sickening twist, killing her to preserve the family is still their Plan B if they can’t get justice:

 An examination also confirmed that her hymen had been broken. That can be tantamount to a death sentence in Afghanistan, where women are considered fit to marry only if they are proved to be virgins on their wedding night. Some who fail that test are killed by relatives to restore the family’s honor.

In interviews, both Lal Bibi’s mother and grandfather said they were thinking of killing her unless justice was done, although the fact that they had come forward suggested that they were hoping that the government will prosecute the men and redress the wrongs done to her and her family through the legal system.

“If nobody wants to solve our problem, then they should behead her; we don’t want her,” her mother said.

Even Lal Bibi, the young woman in question, says she’ll commit suicide if her attackers aren’t charged:

“If the people in government fail to bring these people to justice I am going to burn myself,” she said. “I don’t want to live with this stigma on my forehead. People will mock me if these men go unpunished, so I want every single one of them to be punished.”

Two men have been arrested, but the chief suspect disappeared after she was abducted. You can read the full story here.

70% of women* CAN’T orgasm through penetration alone.

kiryki:

shakethecobwebs:

So if you’re one of those people who just happen to think you’ve only been with the 30% of women who can, let me tell you something:

You’re wrong.

Women’s bodies aren’t these terrible, mysterious things.

There is a button called the clitoris, and if you play with it enough, good things will happen.

Women, you are not abnormal if you can’t achieve orgasm through penetration alone. You are not abnormal. You are not abnormal. You are not abnormal.

Sex in tv and movies and porn almost always always always get it wrong.

*I acknowledge that not all those who identify as women have vaginae or clitorises.

“You are not abnormal. You are not abnormal. You are not abnormal.”

I wish someone had told me this, so bad when I was younger. I have had three relationships that led to some form of penetrative sex, whether by toys or their penis. And here, I kept score, let me show you.

Dude One: Three Years, Zero Orgasms For Me

Dude Two: One Year, Zero Orgasms For Me

Dude Three: Three Years, Zero Orgasms For Me

And they all made me feel like I was this weird, broken toy for not functioning the way I “should” have been functioning. And when I would be like, “Here, let me show you what I do to make myself orgasm, and then you can try that,” there was zero interest in that, from any of them. There was just this understood undercurrent of thought that there was something wrong with me sexually because I couldn’t get off from the old in and out like they could. (Note: Though not In n’ Out, because I can have a satisfying sexual relationship with a cheeseburger, believe me.)

It took me up til just late last year to realize that just because my body wasn’t doing what my partner thought it should didn’t make me or my body wrong. Their unwillingness to listen to my knowledge about my body was not my fault, and I should feel no shame in standing up for that. If my partner wasn’t willing to experiment for my pleasure, instead of being content with only getting theirs night after night, that was not a partner worth having.

It didn’t matter if they said that they loved me. They were showing a fundamental disregard for my pleasure. If I could be guilted into not saying anything, they felt they didn’t have to make an effort and care.

I am not abnormal. There is nothing wrong with me. The only thing wrong was their attitude and lack of reciprocation. Never put up with that, anyone, ever.
