Here's what I want to know

[(Anonymous)]

What the fuck happened?

My fandom involvement sort of dropped off around...2007, I think? That was after ten years of heavy fandom activity. During that entire time, I was mostly in female-dominated spaces, and we got into lengthy meta conversations and shamelessly wrote porn. This notion that women won't discuss things; that they're all SJWs; that they don't write porn; or that they write porn but express embarrassment by it doesn't square at all with my experience. It also doesn't square with what I know about female-dominated fandom spaces outside of my sphere.

So what, exactly, has gone on in the last seven years that has changed all of that? The answer can't be "tumblr" -- the atmosphere of tumblr is decided by its users, as is its popularity. There had to have been a more fundamental shift in attitudes, one that would have caused the change on any platform.

It all started when one policeman gave good advice to a woman about not getting raped in some shady neighbourhood and she went nuts and the madness spread with slutwalks and Consent is Sexy, how dare you like Twilight campaigns.

'Don't dress that way' is NOT GOOD ADVICE. I was in a bulky turtleneck and wintercoat, covered and wadded up from neck to toe when I had to fight off my wannabe rapist.

Doesn't justify her overreaction and the rabid madness she created.

How was it overreaction and madness? That cop deserved shaming. Awareness had to be spread. Even after the slutwalks, people STILL insist clothes matter when they so fucking don't. Makes you uncomfortable =/= overreaction.

There, folks, overreaction at its finest.

It was 'Don't dress like a slut' actually. And not what you think a 'slut' might dress like, but what every random guy whose path you cross that day thinks a 'slut' might dress like, because he's got a right to punish you with rape if he don't like your clothes.
