sorcyressTrigger Warning: Rape, and men, and men fighting the sort of misogyny that makes rape so possible. So, I mean, it's kinda a good post, but it's still a triggery post.
For everyone who fell just a little bit in hope with humanity after reading Cereta's Post of Doom, I present to you Fugitivus's Stuff What Boys Can Do. It's a collection of user-submitted stories about situations where men behaved like decent human beings, and actively supported women against sexism.
Which, as has been said everywhere ever, is not the sort of thing that should be noteworthy. Boys should not receive cookies for *not* raping the drunk, passed out, sorority slut on the frat house couch. Congratulations, you didn't commit a crime! WOO HOO! THIS IS AN ACHIEVEMENT UNPARALLELED IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY!
...yeah, I think not.
But still, every example where we do get a glimpse of that achievement is a Good Example, and I like reading them. It's a nice change of pace from "hey guess what, putting an artiste in jail for rape is stifling ALL OF ART EVER! Petition for his release YAY!" or "It's not rape if it happens in Iraq!" or what the fuck ever today's hot new rape-news story is. ((I wouldn't know,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rm's been away all weekend, and I just can't make myself go looking on my own for things that I know will upset me)) Soyeah.
I'm feeling run down and out of it, despite the SNOW, which I love. So tell me *your* "Hooray, you didn't commit a crime!" story.

MOOP!
Trigger Warnings go both ways: Rape, and men, and men fighting the sort of misogyny that makes rape so possible. So, I mean, it's kinda a good post, but it's still a triggery post.
