There were enough really cool things about the movie that I am really upset that Baz Luhrman had to do his Baz thing.

3 percent of the decision-making in media comes from women. That means 97 percent of how women are portrayed is decided on by men.

It also means that 97 percent of how men are portrayed in media are decided on by men. Something to remind MRAs and their ilk of when they complain about the stereotype of men as inept slobs, bad fathers, etc in media and advertising.
Men have the power. So when we men are shat on by the powers that be you don’t get to try and blame women for that.

… the socialization of boys regarding masculinity is often at the expense of women. I came to realize that we don’t raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women (or gay men). We teach boys that girls and women are “less than” and that leads to violence by some and silence by many. It’s important for men to stand up to not only stop men’s violence against women but, to teach young men a broader definition of masculinity that includes being empathetic, loving and non-violent.

Common Myths About Bisexuality from the lovely Webcomic “Jesus Loves Lesbians, Too” by bi blogger & author Maria Burnham (writer/memoirist) and Maggie Siegel-Berele (comic artist).
I usually don’t reblog stuff like this because this is my art blog but this hit close to home and reminded me of so many conversations that made me feel like garbage.
It always makes me see red when I see lesbians (and gay men) treating bisexuals this way. I don’t think I can even type too much more without quickly reaching a point where I just smash my head into the keyboard.
I just want to add that there is nothing wrong with wanting sex and not love, either
That, of course, is entirely true.
Everyone has the potential to be prejudiced. It’s just really, really disheartening when people who you turn to for comfort and support are the most prejudiced against you (aka homosexual people thinking these things about bisexuals. Not that straight people don’t, but…you’d just think that people who have experienced similar prejudice themselves can DAMN WELL THINK.)
Wow guys sorry about the torrent of queer-related posts lately (all TWO of them, scandalous!) but this is relevant to my interests »
One of the highlights of exhibiting at the Emerald City Comic-Con for me was getting to be a speaker on the Beyond Categories: Non-Binary Sexuality panel!
Randall Kirby, Leia Weathington, Charles “Zan” Christensen, Ellen Forney, Jason Thompson and myself gathered together to discuss having bi/pan/queer sexualities in a monosexual world where both the straights and the gays don’t accept you (or straight up view you as The Enemy) and our experiences with biphobia– all with a healthy dose of dick jokes and wise-crackin’.
The anthology on non-binary sexuality that Zan is putting together through his publishing house, Northwest Press, is titled “Anything That Loves”, look for it in July.

Ahh!! BLESS THIS POST
So a bit of backstory: Yesterday I decided totorture myselflisten to an episode of the Savage Love podcast dedicated to bisexuality (they had a “guest expert”! I had high hopes!), and you may or may not have witnessed my increasingly bewildered (see: enraged) live-tweeting of the whole thing. I was really riled up about some of the (imo) ignorant, misleading, and genuinely hurtful things said in the episode.GOOD NEWS THOUGH, swooping in to save my day was this wonderful panel from Emerald City Comic Con discussing non-binary sexuality as it relates to comics, media, and life in general. The panelists, moderator, and audience questions were all SO thoughtful and intelligent and EXACTLY what I feel people need to hear about this topic. So do please give it a listen if you’re able!
I don’t really get on my soapbox often, but here I go(!!) in order to applaud everyone involved in this amazing panel. Thank you for putting it together and thank you for sharing your stories and insight to the rest of us!
