The Curbside Prophet

My name is Alyssa Mae.

I am a mid-twenties avid intersectional feminist, advocate, fighter, counselor, and friend. I will be graduating from Bucknell University in May with degrees in Psychology and Women’s & Gender Studies. I work with survivors of sexual assault and other trauma, and I fix computers for a living.

I often blog about what it is like to live at the intersections of a few different mental illnesses, queerness, and sexuality, along with posts about sexism, racism, rape culture, and LGBT rights. There is a trigger warning for these on my entire blog. You will see posts about depression, eating disorders, PTSD, panic disorder, and fat activism. This has been my safe space for four years now, and I reserve the right to ask you to leave it if necessary.

Welcome to my life.

This is all I could get out before I started growling at the computer:

Jesse Jane (god bless her sweet, bubbly heart) made a choice to get a massive breast augmentation. Seriously, each one of her breasts is about as big as her head. She really wanted giant tits. She now has giant tits and is consistently happy with them. I think they look pretty cool on her even though I wouldn’t want them in my own body. 

Her choice is just as valid as the choice of a woman who gets heavily tattooed, or declines any sort of body modification. This applies to any woman who does or does not make changes to her appearance, whether they are mostly permanent and surgical or extremely temporary and involving a tube of lipstick or mascara. You might not like it, but you don’t have to look at them, fuck them, or be friends with them if you find their choices that offensive.

I’m really tired of hearing “porn fans” say things about how they like me better than “those women who have ruined their bodies with plastic.” That’s a direct quote from one… one who happens to be female. I’m especially tired of seeing them specify which women they’re referring to by name. That’s not paying me a compliment. That’s saying nasty things about coworkers that I appreciate as human beings and respect. 

I’m also really tired of hearing some feminists say that any CHOICE made by a woman is invalid or wrong because it doesn’t line up with THEIR idea of liberated womanhood. Do you want equality and freedom of choice or do you want everyone in the sex industries and other traditionally female occupations to roll over and do what you say? If you want the latter, you are just as bad as the patriarchy that you rail so hard against.

My body, my choice.

UNFH stoya you are so pretty and smart please be my friend with benefits

is there a single person on this planet who doesn’t have a crush on Stoya, like actually?
