“They'll say you are bad
or perhaps you are mad
or at least you
should stay undercover.
Your mind must be bare
if you would dare
to think you can love
more than one lover.”

“A slut is someone, usually a woman, who’s stepped outside of the very narrow lane that good girls are supposed to stay within. Sluts are loud. We’re messy. We don’t behave. In fact, the original definition of “slut” meant “untidy woman.” But since we live in a world that relies on women to be tidy in all ways, to be quiet and obedient and agreeable and available (but never aggressive), those of us who color outside of the lines get called sluts. And that word is meant to keep us in line.”

“All too often, when we see injustices, both great and small, we think, That's terrible, but we do nothing. We say nothing. We let other people fight their own battles. We remain silent because silence is easier. Qui tacet consentire videtur is Latin for 'Silence gives consent.' When we say nothing, when we do nothing, we are consenting to these trespasses against us.”

“Silence does not mean yes. No can be thought and felt but never said. It can be screamed silently on the inside. It can be in the wordless stone of a clenched fist, fingernails digging into palm. Her lips sealed. Her eyes closed. His body just taking, never asking, never taught to question silence”

“Mr. Vey, you cannot be stuffed into a locker without your consent." Dallstrom said, which may be the dumbest thing ever said in a school. "You should have resisted. That's like blaming someone who was struck by lightning for getting in the way.”

“I was too afraid to risk it, so it was easier to be alone and not think about it. But I trust you." "You shouldn't." "Says the man who stopped." Neil gave Andrew a few moments to respond before saying, "I don't understand it, and I don't know what I'm doing, but I don't want to ignore it just because it's new. So are you completely off-limits or are there any safe zones?" "What are you hoping for, coordinates?" "I'm hoping to know where the lines are before I cross them," Neil said, "but I'm open to drawing a map on you if you want to loan me a marker. That's not a bad idea.”

“If a man punches you in the eye, you are not expected to have pleaded with him not to for the crime to be accepted as assault. If you are sitting at your cash register and someone demands the cash in it, you will not be accused of consent if you simply hand it over. Only in the prosecution of rape is evidence of resistance an issue.”

“Manhood Diaries (The Sonnet)
Onun için cennet ol, cehennem değil.
Vicdanlı bir adam ol, hayvan değil.
Sé una bendición para ella, no una maldición.
Onun yaralarına ilacı ol, tuz değil.
Be her paradise, not prison.
Be her man, not master.
Be a miracle to her maladies.
Be her crown, not custard.
There is no alpha male and beta male,
There is only man and baboon.
Decency defines a man's character,
Not the virility of his heirloom.
Partner on the streets,
Slave between the sheets,
That's what a real man is.
Undaunted in danger,
Uncompromising in calamity,
That's what a real human is.”
― Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“All of Her is Holy Site
(Boys Be Men, Sonnet)
Way to a woman's heart is through
her eyes, not between her legs.
All of her is holy site, to wander
unwelcome even with eyes is sickness.
First be her sanctuary, her safe haven,
then be the filthiest beast you can be.
Slave to her kinks between the sheets,
and in society be her shameless shield.
Anybody can stay the night,
takes backbone to stay the life.
Penetration of flesh is animal affair,
human miracle is to touch the mind.
Boys be Men! Lift your brain above your belt.
In monsoon be her brolly, in drought be her rain.”
― Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Consent is a language that has many thousands more words than just 'yes' and 'no', but it's these two that everyone fixates on when determining the strength of a rape complaint. Perhaps she didn't say yes--but she didn't say no, either. It's a thought process that overwhelmingly favours the men most likely to be accused of rape, and the degree to which it will be used to protect them varies according to how much prestige and status their privilege affords them.”

“There are always people willing to defend men accused of rape by arguing that consent was in place, even though their conviction is based on nothing other than the say-so of the man involved. A gang rape becomes group sex, the rape of an unconscious woman a case of 'next-day regret'--and the truth is whatever the man being defended by the public and/or his immediate community says it is.”

“How do we know that she consented? Because Johns says so. And if a man says sex was consensual, nothing a woman says to the contrary will ever be enough to convince people determined to protect his reputation and preserve his entitlement.”

“Never forget that a woman's right to say no to sexual contact disintegrates each time she invokes her right to say yes.”

“She is not territory, she is temple (Sonnet)
She is not a territory to conquer,
she is a temple that grants
entry only through trust,
even the gaze must be earned.
I'll never get down on one knee,
if I do, I'll get down on both knees -
absolute surrender, nothing left out.
I don't wanna be a tourist, a passing fling,
I am a pilgrim to your love, to your life,
and at times when you permit, to your body.

even then my conscience wouldn't allow filth,
till I've earned her unwavering trust.”

“A 16-year-old is at the age of consent in most places. By now, she has to know how to say no to a guy suggesting sex. He's not a mindreader who knows a girl who's going along with everything doesn't want it.”

“The claimed legitimizing devices of political consent or personal labour served only to obscure the unjustifiable seizure of land from the common by the powerful. Other commoners at the time of those seizures had not consented to them, and even if they had done so, their consent could not bind later generations.”
