The uncompromising outrage of activists and survivors has no doubt drawn important attention to sexual misconduct and egregious criminal behavior. Outrage brings awareness to long-buried issues in desperate need of justice. Outrage has resulted in the #MeToo movement, the formation of Time’s Up and the galvanization on display at the annual Women’s March. Outrage is a righteous and necessary vanguard in a free society.
Outrage is different from sex panic, however. The former exposes; the latter silences. Panic rejects nuance, debate and disagreement in favor of party lines and swift action. Panic has resulted in the rise of cancel culture and the dismissal of due process. By the time we can consider whether we’re in a full-blown cultural panic, rational thinking has already been cast aside. It becomes risky to ask for facts and data. In a sex panic, it becomes imprudent to question the extent to which sex-based discrimination exists. It becomes dangerous to suggest that all sexual violations, and all experiences of sexual violence, are not equivalent. As a consequence, we learn to shut up and sit down lest we face public condemnation and risk being attacked on the internet.
And in 2013, when the oldest Millennials were in their early 30s, Tinder became available to smartphone users everywhere. Suddenly dates too (or sex, or phone sex) could be set up without so much as a single spoken word between two people who had never met. In the years since, app dating has reached such a level of ubiquity that a couples therapist in New York told me last year that he no longer even bothers asking couples below a certain age threshold how they met. (It’s almost always the apps, he said.)
She was hurt by this, and seemed unable to understand why I was unwilling to continue a quasi-romantic relationship with someone for whom my feelings, my intimacy, my body, was the equivalent of a day at a theme park, a fun and whimsical distraction from the everyday. I didn’t feel scorned or heartbroken; I felt used and objectified. Beth saw no harm in using me to make herself feel good because, in her mind, my feelings and sexuality were somehow less legitimate than her own—which is, of course, the very essence of heteronormativity and homophobia.
Dans son livre Histoire de la violence, Edouard Louis, alors qu’il évoque la mort d’une petite fille dont la mère est en partie tenue pour responsable, évoque la circulation de la haine et de la violence. Il écrit que «la haine pour la mère, la haine s’était déplacée sur d’autres personnes, à croire que c’est un sentiment qui ne peut par nature jamais disparaître mais seulement passer d’un corps à l’autre, se transférer d’un groupe à l’autre, d’une communauté à l’autre, (...) la haine n’a pas besoin d’individus particuliers pour exister mais uniquement de foyers pour se réincarner».
Even Darling, who believes that the way we treat robots mirrors our ideas about empathy and kindness, agrees the ethics aren’t always clear. “Even though it’s clearly wrong to punch a person, you get into ethical questions very quickly where it’s not always so clear what the answer is,” she says. “Is it OK to punch a person who’s trying to punch you? Is it OK to punch a Nazi?”
Feminist pedagogy alone is inadequate to the barriers facing women, people of color, and queer people in institutions of higher education. Instead, we should look toward changing the institutions that structure our teaching. Just as we teach students to contextualize the texts and people we study, we must understand our classrooms as products of the broader university environment.
Dans les années 1980, alors qu’elle luttait contre le cancer, Audre Lorde a affirmé que de prendre soin d’elle-même était « un acte de guerre politique ». Depuis, le self-care est devenu un mot à la mode dans les milieux activistes. La rhétorique du self-care est passée de spécifique à universelle, de provocative à obligatoire. Lorsqu’on parle de self-care aujourd’hui, parle-t-on de la même chose que Lorde ?
The community that I have spent my entire adult life working and living in sometimes feels even more dangerous and volatile than the mainstream, cis and heteronormative world that I spent my teen years trying to escape. After all, I can at least blame the cruelty of straight, cis society on homophobia and transphobia. But why are queers so mean to queers?
A TSA agent may press the button that corresponds to the sex a passenger was assigned at birth, but the passenger's gender presentation may mean using a chest binder, packer, or breast shaper, which the machine then marks as inconsistent with the expected algorithm for the passenger's sex, thus triggering an "alarm." Alternatively, the agent may press the button corresponding to the passenger's presenting gender rather than the sex they were assigned at birth, which poses its own problems: A "passing" trans woman's penis, for example, will register to the machine as suspicious.
Il faut savoir que le format mbox est purement textuel : un gros fichier texte dont les différents messages sont séparés par une ligne contenant "From". Il faut donc tout parser rien que pour avoir la liste des mails et leur date, sujet, taille, etc.
Et je ne parle même pas de l'indexation...
Ce qui serait génial, c'est que cet hypothétique format de stockage SQLite soit normalisé (tables, requêtes...), ainsi on pourrait transférer ses mails d'un client à un autre (et même d'une plateforme à l'autre) simplement en copiant le ou les fichiers de la base de données 🤩
Je pose ça là : Maildir - Wikipedia
Julian Assange par exemple n’est pas un « lanceur d’alerte ». Snowden est un lanceur d’alerte. Snowden travaillait à la NSA, a volé des documents à son employeur et les a transmis à un journaliste qui les a publié. Julian Assange est un informaticien qui a fondé un site qui devait garantir l’anonymat et la sécurité aux lanceurs d’alertes. On reste songeur devant les années de prison qu’a dû effectuer Chelsea Manning, la lanceuse d’alerte qui avait fait confiance à Wikileaks pour envoyer ses documents. Encore plus songeur à se dire que Manning a été mis en contact avec le type qui allait le dénoncer grâce à une erreur d’Assange qui a envoyé un mail en copie au lieu de copie cachée…
A 2015 meta-analysis of 170 separate studies, conducted by the American Psychological Association, found no statistically significant relationship between these games and criminal violence or delinquency.
But deeper in the report, another finding points to a real and urgent problem: toxic gaming culture. The APA noted that research showed a connection between violent video games and increased aggression, as well as “decreases in prosocial behavior, empathy and sensitivity to aggression.” Anyone who has spent any time playing online shooters, only to be bombarded by venomous taunts over voice chat , knows this to be true. The issue isn’t that games themselves induce violence — we know they don’t — but that the gamer community has provided a gathering place for some furious, hateful individuals and encouraged their worst tendencies.
“Defendants’ control and regulation of speech on YouTube has resulted in a chaotic cesspool where popular, compliant, top quality, and protected LGBTQ+ content is restricted, stigmatized, and demonetized as “shocking,” “inappropriate,” “offensive,” and “sexually explicit,” while homophobic and racist hatemongers run wild and are free to post vile and obscene content on the pages and channels of the LGBTQ+ Plaintiffs and other LGBTQ+ content creators.”
At the moment, chlamydia is treated with antibiotics once sufferers have been diagnosed. However given the infection typically shows no symptoms, the current treatment doesn’t necessarily offer protection from side effects if someone has had the STI for a long time, including infertility and an increased risk of HIV.
For vagina-having people only apparently
It's clear that Pornhub knows it's partnered with a company that's accused of abuse by many women, and who claim that the Pornhub helped spread videos that ruined their lives. What isn't clear is why Pornhub continues to keep Girls Do Porn on its website, and profit from it.
Well you said it : « profit »
“I live in a small city,” she says. “Big enough to always be meeting new people, but small enough to see at least three people you know on an outing. I think where I live all the lesbians know each other, all the gays know each other, and so forth. I think it can become a bit of a cesspool where dating is concerned. Everyone you know has dated everyone you know.”
On the other hand, Eichhorn writes, such media can prevent those who wish to break with their past from doing so cleanly. We’re not the only ones posting; our friends and family chronicle our lives, usually without our consent. Growing up online, Eichhorn worries, might impede our ability to edit memories, cull what needs to be culled, and move on. “The potential danger is no longer childhood’s disappearance, but rather the possibility of a perpetual childhood,” she writes. We may, in short, have traded “screen memories for screens.”
I can only review Euphoria as a gay trans woman who desperately wants to see herself on screen, who desperately wants to see her past, her present, and her potential futures. I can only review Euphoria as a gay trans woman who for the first time on television got to watch a cis girl fall in love with a trans girl. I can only review Euphoria as a gay trans woman who for the first time on television got to watch any girl fall in love with a trans girl.
The creators of these kinds of sites often fancy themselves free speech activists, as though being against moderation and in favor of free speech were the same thing (they're not). If these forums are marketplaces of ideas, it is curious that they have become dens of far-right hate — fringe political positions, and not at all representative of how most online denizens think and feel.
Genital herpes isn’t uncommon; the Centers for Disease Control estimates that about one in six people between the ages 14 to 49 have genital herpes. It is perfectly normal to feel upset and scared on first hearing a diagnosis of herpes but those feelings will subside over time, gradually getting better. People who are living with herpes have long, healthy lives, with very few consequences.
Si en Alsace, la manifestation du racisme est malheureusement devenue récurrente, c’est que partout, les politiques islamophobes et anti-réfugiés sont en train d’ouvrir la porte à l’extrême-droite et de la galvaniser. Quand à Strasbourg, les nazillons du Bastion social s’attaquent à un squat solidaire, ils le font alors que le 15 juillet, la police italienne a découvert un arsenal composé de dizaines de fusils d’assaut ainsi que d’un que d’un missile air-air chez un militant néo-nazi italien
C’est l’histoire d’une meuf de trente-deux ans qui a eu une vasectomie il y a un peu plus de quatre-vingt-seize heures et qui en peu plus de larver sur son canapé en attendant que ses poils repoussent alors elle décide de raconter comment ça lui est arrivé.
Partie 4 ! Sur 3 ! Oui !
