Thank you. I’m so over the current crop of trigger-warning mattress feminists and their puritanical streak and their insistence on how no one could possibly dislike Sulcowicz’ crappy ‘art’ if they took the time to watch it (we did watch it, we did think, we did conclude it sucks) and yet they can’t even grasp what a…

Or in “I don’t like it and this is juvenile, dumb and manipulative”.

Thank you so much for this. Love her. I read and reread her so much as a kid she practically helped raise me lol

I wouldn’t get my hopes up since it also says this:

Buzzed enough to relax is hardly the same as fall down drunk and unable to consent. There is such a thing as a middle ground, you know?

I don’t have a problem with narcissism and attention seeking per se. Those are traits she shares with other artists, including women artists, so the argument that anyone who hates Emma’s piece hates it because they expect women to be quiet and compliant, hardly seems valid. Unfortunately everything I’ve seen from Emma…

LOL are you for real?

It’s one thing to do it when you’re an established or respected artist. It’s another if you’re a student and the only reason people are paying attention to your art is because you made the news for being a campus rape activist and the only two pieces of yours that have gotten any attention are named after a Beatles…

The video is bad enough. The list of questions and observations is downright obnoxious. I'm starting to think the problem with Sulcowicz is that she's insufferable.

Agreed. And then there’s the hokey title which is also a nod at another artist. I think this is pretty terrible and not for the reasons that people are attacking her for. I just find both her projects so far to be very facile and obvious and so far my impression of her is that she’s a very manipulative and kind of…

High five, dude. High five.

The video comes with a trigger warning

Wait, now your issue is that someone else is posting similar things to what I said and you can’t have 2 people disagreeing with you over the same thing? That’s not why you’re done, you’re done with the conversation because you’d rather argue procedure than address the points and admit that the reason you’re so…

It’s hit or miss and I agree it’s overpriced in the US (it’s much cheaper in Europe) but the quality is way better than H&M for the most part. If you ignore the purses and shoes that are pleather, they also have some really nice real leather ones and they are great for funky minimalist work clothes, kind of like a…

I don’t disagree with that. I disagree with the notion that this is what the parents of these kids - and most of the people in the comments - have an issue with. How much do you want to bet that if this had been an unauthorized field trip to, say, the science museum, no one would be making a fuss, it wouldn’t be in…

Um, what the fuck does being a virgin at your wedding have to do with anything? Don’t you realise that a big part of the problem with sex in this country is the association of ‘purity’ or superiority that is culturally associated with virginity? Being raped (and I’m truly sorry that happened to you) didn’t make you…

I agree that there are parents whose views on sex and sex education are harmful. But is that reason enough that parents, as a demographic, shouldn’t be in control of how/when their children are exposed to something that is, frankly, pretty personal?

What if the PARENT is the perpetrator of the abuse? Placing sex education in the hands of parents is the reason “sex education” (I use scare quotes with very good reason here) is currently what it is in this country.

That being said, I don’t believe it is appropriate or possible to tailor make everyone’s social and educational experience based on what trauma may have happened to them. And before you say I don’t understand, I suffered profound and long term sexual abuse from a very young age.

How is a trip to a sex shop any less triggering than a regular sex ed class? This outing presumably took place during the time that regular sex ed would have taken place and if the triggerable kids were going to take the regular sex ed class anyway, what difference does that make? They could be triggered by regular…
