Here she comes

"People who kissed, kissed and hugged one last time
Surprise me like a monster ...
A rape in the meadow, a fornicating fellow.
A flea on the fur of a shaggy old sheep,
All tangled up like winter ...
Cut the very life of her blood bank that billows up
from below her skirt and sunlit blouses ...
A hollycaust.  A pussy, wussy willow.
Marshmallow, a mantra.  A temper tantric tantrum ...
Watch out, here I come."

Who can bear witness to unknowing?  Who can speak (about) rape?  Can its memory, regressions, or ressentiment be spoken?

Rape Culture & SK Slutsauce

Saskatoon ConsentFest & SlutWalk happening May 28th, 2011: Facebook

The greatest response to this event comes in the form of the film, Irreversible (2002), which provides voyeuristic looks into notions of choice, dress, non-rape intercourse, women's pleasure in relation to men, and, most importantly, dares the audience to imagine shifting blame from the victim to the rapist and, still further, to a violent environment of sexism, classism, and heterosexism (homophobia and transphobia) which fosters and supports a rape culture and its acts of sexual assault.
