“ You are not home,
not heart,
not eyes, lungs, or liver.
You are not a crucial kidney
or unneeded appendix
and I do not expect you to be
as consistent as the
cycles of the moon.
In fact
you are about as necessary
as the spare coins
between the sofa cushions,
where my pockets sing their brimming
harmony against my thighs
with each step.
I do not need you
and
I do not dream of you as often as
I do about winning the
lottery or space shuttling to
Mars and
sometimes I even forget about
you completely but
on the nights where I’ve talked myself
into believing that you are
nothing,
here you come all lit up
like the tail-end of a comet,
streaking across the dark ceiling
of my bedroom and
the light
gets caught between my eyelashes,
underneath my fingernails and the
lifelines of my palms and I am
on fire and the thought
of you is everything and
I am lit up like New York City.
So this is love,
or the beginnings of it:
ashes in the mouth
and glamorous things
like comets and
moonbeams
and other things—terrifying things—
you don’t yet have a name for.
The taste of beauty all burnt
up is not unfamiliar
because this is how love gets done—
in the dark, right under your nose,
in your very cells, a kind of mitosis,
cell division in the heart despite
knowing better,
despite the catastrophes and trying bravely,
foolishly, hopelessly to convince yourself
otherwise. ”

I don’t care what you think about Cersei Lannister there is no universe in which she deserves to be sold into marriage against her will. There is no universe in which she “deserved” the marital rape or abuse enacted on her by Robert Baratheon.
And there is a huge fucking…
Warning: rape/rape apologism
Admin note: fuck everythingggggggggggg
A Voice for Men = A Voice for Rape Apologist Misogynists (who also whine a lot)
I don’t think what irks me about this statement is that it assumes women can’t handle the consequences of making their own decisions (which is a classic I’m sure we’ve all heard,) or that it parodies an actual rape awareness campaign (that decreased sexual assault in Vancouver by 10%.)
What’s really bugging me is that this, when combined with the abysmal understanding of consent in our society, is really just men who are upset that they don’t get to define consent for the people they want to fuck.
AVFM isn’t even concerned for men falsely accused of rape - they’re just straight up worried that men can be accused of rape.
