You Want To ‘Protect’ Women In Bathrooms. What About From Actual Rapists?

feministingforchange

by  Alise D. Chaffins (SOURCE)

I keep waiting, but it hasn’t happened yet.

A few weeks ago, there were lots of men looking out for the safety of American women everywhere by wanting to ban transgender women from using the ladies’ rooms at Target and other public places. We were told how women were precious, how they needed protected from “men in dresses.” When the current administration sent out messages to schools giving guidelines on how to treat transgender students, 11 states sued to make sure that our girls are safe in their locker rooms from transgender girls.

Oh, I heard them say that it wasn’t REALLY the trans people they were worried about. Sure, there would be plenty of opportunities to call them freaks and perverts. Lots of chances to remind us that there are just a few of them, so why should we bow to their desires. Lots of dismissive language that told trans men and women that their comfort and mental health don’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

But no, it wasn’t primarily the trans people (especially trans women) that we needed to be protected from. It was the the pedophiles and the voyeurs who would take advantage of the laws. It was the men who would dress up like a woman so they could prey on women in bathrooms. Those were the real threat. Those were the men that needed to be dealt with. Violent men who would do actual harm against women — those were the men that we needed to be on the lookout for, those were who the men were concerned about. Keep women safe from men who were violent.

So when Stanford rapist Brock Turner got a mere six-month sentence, I started waiting.

Waiting for all of these men to start posting their outrage at the system that so dramatically failed a young woman.

Waiting for petitions to receive millions of signatures demanding stricter sentencing for rapists. Waiting for viral videos of pastors standing outside of the courthouse, speaking in animated tones about what grave injustice was taking place behind those walls.

Waiting for men to share the powerful words of the victim as a reminder that rape has lifetime consequences for those who experience it.

Waiting for men to remind other men that the responsibility not to rape lies with them, not with the women who are raped.

Waiting for these men to prove that their concern for their wives and daughters wasn’t really just a mask for the transphobia that they carried and didn’t want to be called on.

Instead, I’ve read a letter from a father saying that his son is being punished too harshly for only ““20 minutes of action,” where instead of a perpetrator of a violent crime, he is the victim of alcohol consumption and partying. I’ve read many times about how many drinks the victim had before she was raped. I’ve read about how we need to crack down on drinking on college campuses.

I’ve seen lots and lots of nothing at all from people who just weeks ago were ready to storm the bathroom stalls to make sure their wives and daughters were safe.

Where are you? Where is your outrage when a young woman is penetrated by fingers and leaves and pine needles behind a dumpster while she is unconscious? Where is your disgust for a system that slaps a rapist on the wrist and says, “Well, he probably won’t do THAT again.” Where is your anger at a culture that has more concern for the impact of jailing a rapist than the impact of a rape?

Weeks ago, we were told that women needed to be protected.

But apparently not from rapists.

This perfectly summarizes why I love the Simpsons and hate Family Guy. 

wolvensnothere

Yup.

spcsnaptags

So this.

I watched that episode with my family and I could just feel how uncomfortable everyone was. Honestly, it was a really jarring, unpleasant episode.

Homer is a terrible dad. So is Peter. But Homer’s saving grace has always been that he tries—he’s bad at it and he fucks it up a lot, but he loves his family and he wants to be better than he is.

One of my favorite Homer moments is in “Diatribe of a Mad Housewife.” Tl;dr Marge writes a steamy romance novel starring herself and Ned, and when Homer finds out, he chases down Ned and, rather than attack him, asks him to teach him how to be a better husband.

There’s some part of his stupid self that wants to do better.

I never got that impression with Peter. Instead, the family has gotten more and more abusive towards Meg. It’s really unsettling for me when I started realizing that’s what happens sometimes in abusive families. Abusers sometimes single out one child to abuse, and quite often the other family members take the abuser’s side. After all, it’s easier to side with an abuser than to run the risk of becoming the target yourself.

There’s never really a point where it seems like Peter cares at all that his shitty behavior impacts his family. It actually seems to have gotten worse over the years. He expects everyone to clean up his messes because that’s always what happens; there’s really no reason for him not to be shitty.

And it’s easy to see how Meg is affected. She doesn’t have much of a character, really, because so much her screen time is devoted to being abused. The bits of character development all seem to hinge on her being this sad, neglected person who’s trying her best but never really gets any help from anyone. Quite the opposite; there have been a lot of episodes where her family sabotages any attempts to be herself.

It can be easy to forget how awful this behavior is when the only context is the show itself (frankly, everyone on Family Guy is kind of terrible). Seeing it played against the Simpsons, who are a flawed and dysfunctional but ultimately loving family, was painful to watch.

withelephantsandcoffee

Omg it was a funny episode -_- if you don’t like it, don’t watch. Yes, you have a valid point, but holy crap.

drakatha

HAHA OKAY NO

“If you don’t like it shut up and don’t watch it” has its place. This is not it. Allow me to educate you on why you’re wrong.

Family Guy is a detriment. Plain and simple. Vox wasn’t too far off when they called this show “a blight on humanity”. Yeah, it has its moments where a couple of the quips they make get a laugh out of the audience. The show having long since lost its funniness isn’t the issue.

Everything this show stands for is absolutely sickening, and its more prominent in this episode than it has been in years. 

Literally everything wrong with Family guy is jam packed into this episode. Here’s a list of just some of the things I can rattle off the top of my head.

It’s generally just unpleasant. There are a lot of moments that stood out in this episode as being really fucking awful, even by Family Guy standards (Stewie kidnapping/torturing people and telling Moe his daughter is being raped as a “prank call”, Meg carving Lisa’s name into her arm, etc). Family Guy has a nasty habit of thinking shocking/disturbing = funny. It doesn’t. It’s just unpleasant and not fun to watch.

The gags are unfunny/drag on for too long. This happens in almost every modern FG episode, but it’s really bad in this one. (The car wash scene, Homer and Peter’s fight, and just the majority of the episode really).

MacFarlane is using this series as a means to jerk himself off. The amount of self gratifying bullshit that Seth threw into Simpsons Guy was nausea inducing. The entire first—what, ten minutes of the episode was about how everyone calling out MacFarlane on his racist, sexist, and generally awful bullshit are, in his eyes, a load of oversensitive braindead idiots with no senses of humor. There are ways to respectfully make jokes about awful subjects. South Park does it all the time. Family Guy does not. Not only that, but MacFarlane plugs his other shows left and right and even goes so far as to shit on Bob’s Burgers—an INFINITELY superior show—in order to fuel his own ego. He’s a LITERAL MANCHILD.

Now, let’s get to the big issue. Family Guy’s messages are absolute trash, and the fact that it still makes money means that PEOPLE ARE BUYING IT. This show’s morals are just horrific. “Sexism is what makes men men” (I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar), “Abuse victims should stay in abusive relationships for their abusers’ benefits (Seahorse Seashell Party), and that’s definitely not the worst of it. This show is teaching its primary audience everything that is wrong with society. It doesn’t matter that these ass backwards lessons are being told in the form of jokes, they’re still normalizing and enforcing ideas that NEED TO STOP.

And the only way they’re gonna stop is if we raise fucking hell about it.

Also, no. It was not a funny episode.

fairy-space

I happened to catch part of this episode the night that it premiered, and I was horrified at what I saw. It was uncomfortable to watch. When they put the Griffins in Springfield, everything that was Family Guy related stood out 100000x more, giving us the ability to be more visually horrified by what MacFarlane’s characters portray. His messages and the way he sells his work makes me sick to my stomach. I used to nearly worship the man when I was younger, but fortunately, now that I see it, I see how shitty his work has become and how negatively the messages from his shows impact us.

I HATE the way they portray Meg. Their character development is mediocre and I have absolutely nothing to pick at with the above comments that go into depth on the subject. It’s bad enough that because of this show, I’m always being made the butt of Meg jokes because we happen to share the same name. But what they do to her is horrific.

What they don’t realize is that there are young girls out there going through the exact thing that Meg faces every time we see her. And it’s possible that because of the influence of this show that it happens. It influenced my siblings into normalizing abusive languages and behaviors that we weren’t only experiencing at home, but were seeing as normal on TV. I grew up watching this show in an environment where I was made fun of every day and everyone would stand behind my stepdad while he made fun of me. They think it’s harmless comedy, but this shit happens to kids everywhere and is a very real issue. It happened to me and continues to happen because men like my former stepdad and men like Peter Griffin really do exist.

They normalize this abusive behavior in such a way that it is seen as okay and part of normal life.

This photoset is a clear view into everything wrong with Family Guy and yes, something does need to be done about it, because 1.) I am personally tired of becoming the joke because of normalized abusive behavior 2.) teaching this to the viewers is only going to make the current situations we face socially significantly worse. Hopefully now with a full visual comparison between what is smart humor and what is the “Urban Outfitters” of animated comedy, we’ll be able to really take a look at what we watch when we sit in front of a television.

Posting again, because more commentary has been added, which makes it even more relevant.

steverogershelmethair

Not to mention that in every episode of FG I’ve seen, which, unfortunately, is quite a few, there’s at least one rape joke. At least.

thefingerfuckingfemalefury

Seth MCFarlane is a racist, sexist, lesbophobic, homophobic, transphobic misogynistic sack of SHIT who has literally got absolutely zero fucking talent or skill

His writing is fucking ABYSMAL, as evidenced by the fact that the man has never come up with a single original idea in his entire worthless life…every animated show this cretin has ever created is a rip off of the Simpsons, but lacking any of the things that made the Simpsons remotely funny, memorable or enjoyable for an audience

His characters are two dimensional grotesque abominations who exist only to be what he perceives as ‘Shocking’ in the hope that if they’re awful enough maybe that will compensate for the fact that their not actually funny and we’ll all just laugh out of embarassment over what a disgusting menagerie of repulsive creatures they all are

But the WORST thing about this smug, ugly, bigoted, self satisfied horse fucker?

He’s just NOT FUNNY

He’s so convinced that he’s oh so talented and witty and clever…he forces excuses to make people endure the nightmarish noise that is his ‘Singing voice’ in random episodes by inserting pointless musical numbers that his shitty little Mary Sue character Brian can perform, all of which sound like a drunk at a shitty karaoke bar doing the worlds worst Sinatra impression

The ‘Jokes’ he comes up with himself are clumsy, poorly written and so painfully unfunny that it’s no surprise that he decides to steal most of his material from other people…when your original material is THAT fucking lousy, plagarising the more talented people out there in the world is probably your only hope of success

The show already got cancelled once before enough college aged stoners whined about it on the internet enough to get it brought back by Fox and now we’ve had to endure a dozen more seasons of this shit, each one worse than the last

Family Guy isn’t just a bad show Family Guy is, to quote a character from the show they’ve spent about a decade ripping off: The WORST CARTOON EVER 

feministingforchange

OMG YES to all of the above. I have been talking about this for a while myself and one of my own posts was quoted in this very post here. And here’s the actual quote (bc I think it’s important):

Interesting read, but I don’t think the author spent enough time analyzing the extremely gendered dynamics of this crossover episode. One aspect in particular that got to me was Meg and Lisa’s story and how they were really the only female characters to GET a story this episode. And I think their story is SO INTERESTING because it compares and contrasts how both shows deal with the social construct of girls and girlhood. 

While in “The Simpsons” girls are encouraged to educate themselves, be independent, strong, and really to ask questions (through the character of Lisa), the “Family Guy” will throw girls’ attempts to develop themselves as human beings in the trash (like when Peter throws the Saxophone Lisa gives Meg in the trash). 

MacFarlane demonstrates here for the zillionth time that Meg’s utility in the show is purely as the (unfunny) punchline of a sexist joke; someone to make fun of, call ugly, physically assault, abuse, and so on. This, I think, is really definitive of how MacFarlane views girls and women in general: An unfunny, sexualized, usable, abusable, disposable, joke. (source, edited)

I’ve also argued elsewhere that:

[MacFarlane’s] trying to use “reductio ad-absurdum” to make his points. This “is a common form of argument which seeks to demonstrate that a statement is true by showing that a false, untenable, or absurd result follows from its denial,[1] or in turn to demonstrate that a statement is false by showing that a false, untenable, or absurd result follows from its acceptance” (source). While this sometimes works very well, he’s not doing it right AT ALL!!! He is relying on the individual viewer to understand his humour but really, they (for the most part) would already have to know it was wrong in the first place to really get the supposed “lesson”.

This is because this type of humour ignores (or perhaps exploits?) the very real problem of “confirmation bias.” Which is “also called myside bias, [and] is the tendency to search for, interpret, or prioritize information in a way that confirms one’s beliefs or hypotheses” (source). So, it’s pretty ridiculous to assume that people will simply UNDERSTAND what he’s trying to say. He has to be VERY FUCKING CLEAR and he isn’t. And I think it’s on purpose. I think he knows exactly what he’s doing (playing both sides for profit) and it’s disgusting. (source, edited)

forevrdreamingofbetterthings asked:

So I noticed that I was struggling a lot trying to figure out which of my symptoms were from autism & which were from fibromyalgia, when it hit me - there seems to be a LOT of overlap b/w them. And when I did some research I found that I'm not the only one thinking that /perhaps/ afabs like me w/ fibro (something pretty rarely diagnosed in amabs) are the """missing""" autistic afabs? epiphanyasd.blogspot( )ca/2014/01/fibromyalgia-and-perhaps-what-happened( )html - Thoughts?

adulting-with-autism answered:

I mean, I guess it’s possible some people are in that category, but looking at the symptoms of fibro it seems pretty unlikely. Fibro has no social difficulties - which are necessary to be autistic - category (beyond obviously what might be caused by being in pain) and ASD isn’t associated - at least in diagnostic literature - with pain, fatigue or IBS.

I personally think that the “missing” afabs are down to

1) Autism generally presenting differently and so being missed

2) Autism being seen as a little boy thing, including by a lot of medical professionals

Liz

feministingforchange

Hey thanks so much for responding Liz, I appreciate it! And yeah you may be right, but I had heard from multiple seemingly reliable sources that autism IS associated with pain, fatigue, & IBS? There’s also all the memory problems, concentration, word recall failures, meltdowns due to sensory overload, anxiety disorders like woah, lots of depression, and more (which all cause me many social problems). Honestly, I think this is still possible but it’s really hard to say at this point, and since I have both I can’t really tell when one stops and the other begins, you know? There really needs to be some solid research done on this, quite honestly. 

All that said, even if my suspicions are true, this still doesn’t explain everything. It just means that ASD may be getting diagnosed differently as fibromyalgia for some afabs, due in large part to social constructions around gender. :/

sockknitteranon

I have fibro, and can definitely say I’m allistic for sure. But that’s just my personal experience, I have no idea if I’m an outlier or what. But this is really interesting! I’ll have to ask H (my bff) about it.

feministingforchange

Thanks for spreading this post, I’d really like to hear what others have to say!

That said, I just wanna clarify that I definitely believe fibromyalgia exists on its own too, as a real neurological disorder separate from ASD. BUT, I believe that there is so much overlap between fibro and autism, and both are HIGHLY gendered - both in the ways in which health professionals talk about and diagnose them, and also in the ways they are discussed publicly (fibro = mostly women, autism = mostly little boys & men). 

So I’m quite curious about this, and it has become a bit of a special interest for me (since it’s so personal & both are already special interests of mine lol).

noah fence but why are dyadic ace-exclusionists talking about intersex people “not wanting to be lgbt” when we’re not a hivemind and it’s an intracommunity issue with intersex people ourselves, which is a WHOLE different issue separate from ace discourse

i consider myself lgbtqia+ for being intersex, if another intersex person disagrees then this is an intersex intracommunity issue, and an entirely different discourse that should solely be made up of intersex people.

dyadic/perisex/non-intersex people need to stop bring up intersex people into ace discourse. ESPECIALLY if you’re trying to speak for us “as a community”. we’re all individual people with our own ideas of what it means to be LGBT(QIA+).

and please, for the love of christ, stop saying “the intersex community has said they don’t want to be lgbt” because i don’t remember being invited to a fucking intersex meeting where we all unanimously agreed to remove the I from LGBTQIA+. this is an intracommunity issue that non-intersex people should not be involved in.

As an intersex inclusionist, I could not agree more with OP. Pls, FTLOG, STOP speaking over us to use our intra community issues as tools for a gotchya. S T O P!!!!!!

Yep, that one.

Good good, does this help to clarify? I think I figured out what was happening?

sockknitteranon

That makes sense, yeah. I just… It feels like there’s a war in the disabled community–visibly disabled versus invisibly disabled, able-bodied neurodivergent versus physically disabled, blind versus seeing but otherwise disabled, etc.

And I don’t just mean on tumblr or among kids. I was thrown out of a RL disability support group, average age 42, because “yeah but you look normal so you don’t need to be here.” That coming three days after I was asked to leave a public function in the town square because my medical equipment (a TENS unit clipped to my waistband and a cane) was “scaring the children present” and “you’re young and I don’t want to have to explain to them that young people can be cripples.”

So I am always super wary of people who respond to invisible disability stuff with “yeah but other disabilities…”

forevrdreamingofbetterthings

Wowwwww I’m so SO sorry to hear this, I had no idea. As I said, I’m fairly anti-social and i’m a hermit so I don’t really swim in many offline circles to begin with hahahahah. I definitely don’t blame you for being skeptical of that person’s comment under such circumstances. *hugs if wanted*

That said, I have paid dearly in my life for the knee-jerk need (mostly abled) adults have to insist that kids/youth don’t get sick or hurt or whatever. This erasure & denial leads to actual abuse of ppl like you and I and sooooo many others. I’m going to try to make public education about this issue a part of the mandate of the #InvisiblyDisabledPplExist movement.
