I actually restarted my local chapter if Food not Bombs (feeding ppl) because of the frame on the bottom left.

Early 20’s, watching late night comedy central with my three dude roommates. A commercial comes on for some sexual woman objectification show/ad. I got upset at these dudes response to it. I got mad it exsisted. I got so mad I left the apt. I went for a walk in my city sometime after midnight.

On my walk, I noticed a very elderly lady, hunting folks recycle bins for returnables. I approached her, she didnt speak english hardly, little polish lady. I cried with her, I said you shouldnt have to do this. We had like four bags full on our back porch. I asked her to wait, and I brought them to her. I then looked into volunteer work. Found food not Bombs in the next city over, and restarted our chapter.

All because I was so mad about “see tits now! Order our titty tapes!”

Do you mind my asking what region you are from?

North Eastern Us

Interesting.

dear lort WHY is it interesting!?

Well if you want the more detailed answer, its something I noticed in some European punks I knew, which is that while we agreed on some values, we were very much not aligned on other values. Specifically, I think there is real departure in feminism, sex-positivity, body-positivity, etc, within the punk/ DIY/ communities, so finding out how and why people come to the movement, especially more recently (where I started participating in fnb almost 3 decades ago).

That is interesting.

which is that while we agreed on some values, we were very much not aligned on other values.

While I dont think Ive an issue with body positivity, I do have lingering sex-positivity issues I guess. It’s all in how it’s presented, for me. I dislike objectification, and I can accept it’s a “me” issue. But anyway, I found the same things true when I was active around other punks and at shows and stuff. In my younger years I thought if someone was into alternative whatever, it meant they were safe. This is not true, age taught me. Or maybe things changed, either way.

Thank you for sharing the detailed answer, I panicked for a second, and it is interesting. Def not from N. Europe, this surprised me. I do cry when I see places children can freely ride bikes in their neighborhoods and to school. So, there’s that.

Idk if there was anything sexual positive about the girls gone wild tapes, you were right to get the ick from them.
