Ninth woman speaks out: http://jezebel.com/ninth-woman-comes-forward-with-jian-ghomeshi-abuse-alle-1653241182 Police are now investigating criminal allegations/charges from 3 women against Ghomeshi: http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2014/11/01/three_women_contact_police_with_allegations_against_jian_ghomeshi.html Salon: When safe words are ignored (about sexual assault in the BDSM community) “The problem spans from unwanted overtures to rape, say Mayhem and Stryker. “When I start to think of the number of times I have been cajoled, pressured, or forced into sex that I did not want when I came into the BDSM community, I can’t actually count them,” Stryker wrote in Good Vibrations’ magazine. “As I reflected on the number of times I’ve … been pressured into a situation where saying ‘no’ was either not respected or not an option, or said that I did not want a certain kind of toy used on me which was then used, I’m kind of horrified.” Beyond black-and-white cases of rape, there is a cultural disdain for safe words, they say. “When I was a submissive,” says Stryker, now a dominant in both her personal and professional life, “I felt the pressure to not safe word because I felt like that made you a bad submissive.” That’s because she witnessed submissives who used their safe word being criticized as ‘difficult.’” Full article: http://www.salon.com/2012/01/29/real_abuse_in_bdsm/ BDSM is abuse and rape culture (from Anti-Porn Feminists): “My first hour on Fetlife and I was already finding predatory behavior.

And, it prepares us either to accept subordination or to enforce dominance. Even in play, to affirm that the exertion of power over powerlessness is erotic, is empowering, is to set the emotional and social stage for the continuation of that relationship, politically, socially, and economically… Those involved with sadomasochism are acting out the intolerance of differences which we all learn: superiority and thereby the right to dominate. The conflict is supposedly self-limiting because it happens behind bedroom doors. Can this be so, when the erotic empowers, nourishes, and permeates all of our lives?” Read the full interview here: http://www.feminist-reprise.org/docs/lordesm.htm The “Go Fuck Yourself” clip is from the song “Go Fuck Yourself” by KingDoom.
