Just a little silly something I wrote about being a sucker. You know, for love and stuff.

You’ve all been studying for Feminist Seduction 101, of course?
I promised you more material, and here it is. What everyone wants to talk about on a date:
Street Harassment! Gross!
From Seduction 101:
Stop Street Harassment
For that moment after you and your date slam a couple of tequila shots (you guys all take tequila shots on dates, too, right? RIGHT?) and you suddenly remember you’re still pissed about the fact that you can’t even walk the two and a half blocks to the train without getting your daily dose of street harassment. You can even drop in a fun feminist fact: More than 80% of women and LGBTQ peeps will face gender-based street harassment at some point. Ideally, your feminist man date, who practices street respect, will get angry with you, and then you can take another tequila shot in solidarity! Hooray! (And then you will drink water for the rest of the night like a responsible adult. Yeah.)
I think it’s safe to say we can anticipate many more of these reblogs in the future.
Feminist Ryan Gosling!
It’s like a really sexy feminist dream. I know, I didn’t think it existed either.
Hi Feminists!
It’s Sunday! What better time to talk about sex?
Salt-N-Pepa did it in the 90s; I think we can handle it now. But, yeah, what they said:
Don’t decoy, avoid, or make void the topic
Cuz that ain’t gonna stop it
Now we talk about sex on the radio and video shows
Many will know anything goes
Let’s tell it how it is, and how it could be
How it was, and of course, how it should be
So we’re all grown folks here, right? And sometimes grown folks get laid.
If you’re gonna be dating while feminist, then it’s best to know all your options. And just in case you don’t know all those birth control options already, I’d urge you to check out Bedsider, a great site that breaks down different types of birth control methods, where to get emergency contraception, and fun videos that dispel common sex myths, among other helpful answers to various safe sex questions that might be lingering in your feminist brains.
While we’re at it—are you due for an annual exam? Find a health center near you.
Wasn’t this fun? Now let’s listen to ‘Shoop’! Happy SAFE sexing!
