What the actual fuck. Come on, lets make me more jealous of your core strength.

I always have to reblog this. Because for real. That’s amazing.

Tell me more about how pole dancing is just mindless sluttiness that requires no talent or skill, I implore you.

“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her.  She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted. 

Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly.  “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”

This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”

This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”

this is why performance art is important

So every single person who told me ‘ignore them they’ll go away’ and ‘you can’t let them know they bothered you’ and ‘They’ll stop if they don’t see you react’ and all that bull shit, my entire school career, I want you to look good and hard at this.

I want you to think about what you said.

What you keep saying.

What you are telling your children.

You are making them powerless.

As a rape survivor, THIS!, and the commentary times a thousand. People will do ugly, horrible, disgusting things to you if they believe they can get away with it. They will dehumanize you, they will live out dark fantasies, their pain, hurt, and insecurities on your body. It’s a surreal experience because YOU’RE there FEELING this and in a way you’re out of your body, floating, looking at this person doing these nightmarish things to you. How can they do this? Why me? Do I fight? I’m afraid to fight. No one ever told me to fight back. You’re not supposed to fight. WHAT DO I DO? It’s numbing and confusing and it’s a lot of things and by the time it’s over, you’re left there to deal with the trauma. 

You would be surprised as to what folks you know would do if given the chance. 

I really love the comments but I think sometimes ignoring people really works. I get anon hate fairly frequently on my two bigger blogs and I let them know that they will not get to me and that I will not do as they ask and eventually the messages die out and go away. Sometimes this works in the real world too. I had a lot of rumors spread about me when I was younger ranging from having an eating disorder to being a prostitute. i corrected anyone who asked and I let the rest fall to the wayside. Because I chose to ignore those comments and those rumors they eventually ceased to be said because I was stronger than them. This tactic ceases to work when the hatred and violence becomes physical. You are nobody’s chew toy and you are nobody’s punching bag. You are a living human being that deserves respect and physical harm to your body is the exact opposite of that. You run. You fight. You report it to the authorities. You. Do. Something. Or people like that will only continue to harm, you or someone else.

It depends on the situation. Some people will stop if ignored. Others will keep going unless they are stopped by force or because the victim is fighting back. I will say this: if you’ve tried being nice and peaceful and its still not working then you probably need to go a step further but not overboard. Every situation is different.

Sorry for the rant, but EVOLUTION NEVER FUCKING SAYS WE COME FROM MONKEYS. IT STATES WE AND PRIMATES HAVE A COMMON ANCESTOR, BUT WE DO NOT COME FROM PRIMATES AND PRIMATES DO NOT COEM FROM US. WE SHARE SIMILARITIES, AND EVOLUTION SAYS WE DERIVED FROM THE SAME ANCESTORS.

I’m sorry, I just get so fucking annoyed when people rant about the whole “evolution says we come from monkeys so why do we still have monkeys omg that means evolution is fake!” spiel. Rant over. Goodnight.

Dear sweet Darwin, those facebook posts/comments made my blood pressure rise.
