Reward System v.s. Procrastination
I HAVE A PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WEAR DRESSES LIKE THESE. WHAT KIND OF BRA DO YOU WEAR???? (that actually offers support and isn’t one of those bras that make you look like you have boobs instead of supporting the ones that already exist)

“[TW: rape] Over a 20-year period, asking some 2,000 men in college questions like this: “Have you ever had sexual intercourse with someone, even though they did not want to, because they were too intoxicated [on alcohol or drugs] to resist your sexual advances?”, or “Have you ever had sexual intercourse with an adult when they didn’t want to because you used physical force [twisting their arm, holding them down, etc.] if they didn’t cooperate?” About 1 in 16 men answered “yes” to these or similar questions.”—
1 in sixteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen are you kidding me
if we got 1 in 16 motherfuckers admitting to raping women on college campuses and are “very forthcoming. In fact, they are eager to talk about their experience”, you better fucking believe tossing out your short skirt and staying in at night isn’t going to keep you safe.

Even worse:
In a survey of 11-14 year-old boys…
- 51% believed that “forced sex” is acceptable if a boy spends a lot of money on a girl
- 31% believed that it would be okay to rape someone with past sexual experience
- 65% believed that sexual assault is okay if dating for more than 6 months
- 87% believed that sexual assault is okay if the perpetrator and victim are married
…aaand in a survey of college males…
- 1 in 12 admitted to committing rape (under the legal definition)
- 35% admitted that they would commit rape under circumstances if they could get away with it
…and in another…
- 43% of college-aged men admitted to using “coercive behavior” such as ignoring a woman’s nonconsent and using physical aggression

“51% believed that “forced sex” is acceptable if a boy spends a lot of money on a girl”
This is why I don’t find our ‘courting’ culture great (and why I don’t just date guys to ‘get myself out there more’). Because I always feel that all those shit they give and insist they pay for, they tally it in their head.

You know how stupid men always pose the argument that a woman is asking for it by the way she dresses and the way she acts? There is something wrong in a world where women are blamed for the acts of men, and where boys grow up thinking that sexual harassment, violence and rape are turn-ons. PORN, I’M LOOKING AT YOU.

I don’t think I’ve drawn anything in around a month.
My favorite part is where the bear of life is chasing after me chasing the dream bunny.
Welcome to: If Male Superhero Costumes were Designed Like Female Superhero Costumes!
Aaaaa I dunno. I got tired of guys having no idea why girls find female superhero’s costumes kinda sexist, so I, um, made this?
My main goals were: 1) Make it so the first thing you think of when you look at them is sex, whether you want to or not. 2) make it so that any male human who looks at this feels really uncomfortable. 3) make it funny, because, well, it’s kinda hilarious really.
Not trying to start a war here, just wanted to poke a bit of fun.
So, here you go menfolk, welcome to being a girl who likes comics.
This speaks to me on all levels.
OKAY, so after a couple of weeks of not doing anything to the bike, I managed to borrow a bike pump from my friend and discovered that my wheel has an incompatible valve. I went a-googling and found this. Apparently mine is a schrader valve, so I’m going to have to look for a pump that can pump it! Click the link to learn more about types of bicycle valves.
In other news, I’ve been mostly taking off rusts from the rear rack, and discovered this AMAZING PRODUCT:
It took most of the rust of the rear rack without me having to scrub it down with sandpaper (though I already did last week, to not much avail). It’s great cuz’ you don’t need to wear gloves to use it, it’s really friendly, and it gives off a polish like your mamma never could.
In the meantime I’ve been trying to take the bike apart to paint the parts, but it’s taking me a while to figure out how to get the chainguard off. I managed to remove the front fender and the other parts attached to the fork, but haven’t gotten to any of the backwheel components. Dad’s trying to help me out here.
I also put some paint stripper on the front fender last week to peel off the old paint. Let me say— I’ve never used paint stripper before. I didn’t know how it would work, or if it could work.Paint stripper is fantastic.
This is the front fender before stripping and painting, it looks really sad and worn out:
And this is the front fender after fresh coats of spraypaint, I decided to paint it metallic silver to keep it fresh:
The Boyfriend was against painting the front fender with the tiny parts still together, but I don’t think I had a choice since the screws were terrible to the point where I can’t take them off anymore. It turned out well, though.
Next week: More polishing the rear rack (I now realize how dirty that sounds) and taking apart the rest of the bike!
