I Felt Fire I Felt Cold - Like The Devil & The Lord Wanted My Soul

These last two days have given me emotional whip-lash. I feel like I need a nice long crying jag to feel okay again.

Some links from my flist and surfing the web:

Obama's speech in Cairo


Describing characters of color

Except from 'Men On Rape'
(warning: there is an interview with a man at the end of this that is incredibly triggering.)

Also, I want to point out, because I don't think that this statistic is not talked about as often as it should be, 60 percent of women who fight back against attempted rapists are successful.

Also, flist? *hugs*

Yep. I just - I shudder to think about how much that man DOES NOT understand what rape does to women. At all.
