I find myself responding in much the same way you do to certain words. They're offensive. Thank you for verbalizing that.Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132396587581088115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977603687021659334.post-75632262923417907862011-08-25T23:03:20.633+07:002011-08-25T23:03:20.633+07:00I love this so much.

There were multiple postures regarding the term, women's dress, sexual agency including affirming the label. I understand their multiple agendas. I do not share them.

They are rejecting that designation and the cultural notion that women are responsible for their own rapes/sexual assaults.<br /><br />Reclaiming loaded words is often a calculated tactic to shock us out of complacency and make us pay attention to issues of racism, sexism, and homophobia. I think it is good that these terms make us uncomfortable--they should. That's the whole point.....Wormwood's Doxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882756844690851674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977603687021659334.post-72208912893612468392011-08-24T18:53:20.159+07:002011-08-24T18:53:20.159+07:00Also, I just used this as one of two posts at RevG...Also, I just used this as one of two posts at RevGals' Wednesday Festival.
