Well, you know how men are. They think “no” means yes, and “Get lost” means “take me I’m yours.”

this machine kills fascists.: What's Wrong with Rose Tyler?

fucknodoctorten:

As plenty of people have correctly ascertained from my blog, in addition to loathing the Tenth incarnation of the Doctor with all of my black fangirlish heart, I am also not that great a fan of Rose Tyler, his first companion and supposed love interest.

Before we begin,…

“She enjoyed it…”

(TW: Rape and violence)

So in my Sexuality and Film class we watched the film I Spit On Your Grave, made in 1978. This was one of the hardest films to watch that I have ever encountered. The main character, Jennifer, rents a house in the country for the summer to write a novel. While she is there she is raped repeatedly by four local men, in scenes that take up 45 minutes of the movie. Several women in my class walked out halfway through, and I didn’t blame them.

However, I stayed. Basically, Jennifer is stripped naked and raped repeatedly in the woods. She gets away but is caught by the men several times. That’s what made the rape scenes so hard for me to watch; every time she had a glimmer hope that she would escape, the men would turn up again and the process would start over. It was horrifying to watch.

The second half of the movie deals with Jennifer’s revenge. She brutally kills each of the men who raped her. The way in which she does this is to seduce them. She acts like she wants a repeat of what they did to her and then murders them. The ringleader of the group of rapists is the second man to be killed. She seduces him in her house and while he is in the bath she castrates him with a kitchen knife.

This is when the men in my class reacted audibly with shock.

Not the brutal rape scene that went on for 45 minutes. Not the image of a woman being beaten within an inch of her life, which made some of the female students walk out of the class.

Nope. They groaned with horror and disgust because a rapist has his genitals cut off.

Then today in our discussion of the film, a male student brought up his opinion that “she seemed to have enjoyed it” because she seduced the men in order to kill them, rather than some other method.

I just. I can’t. I’m so tired of this. What is this fuckery. What is this culture that we live in where people say that.

So dude in my film class who said that, and to everyone else who has ever thought that a rape victim “enjoyed it” or “asked for it”: FUCK. YOU.

This has been posted on tumblr a few times already, but the artist has finished the set and I thought I’d post the complete gallery, because I am so in love with this concept and get so excited when people combine history with art. (I’ve inserted the locations and dates Shoomlah narrowed for each princess just for funsies.)

Historically Accurate Disney Princesses! by Shoomlah

and because I didn’t have room to include her, here’s Cinderella.

lol the woc (except mulan) are wearin not a damn thing compared to the euro princesses. Jasmine straiten your back shawty!! I doubt Ariel was English 0.o

Historically accurate to whom? “Chinese empire” for 300s AD? Wut? 

There was no Chinese empire at that time. It is one of the periods of disunity in Chinese history. Between the Han (220) and Sui (589) Dynasties. There were smaller Dynasties/Kingdoms at war during this time but no ‘Chinese Dynasty’ as if that were even a real thing or meaningful, or a place unlike all the other ones. 

Not to mention, it’s not historically accurate for Rapunzel to have that floating lantern, which was ganked from various Asian regions. 

Ooof, please note that these captions are in no way approved my me, the artist- the OP cropped out my watermark and added some completelyarbitrary dates and locations.

I’m happy to own up when I’ve fucked up of my own volition, but damn if I’m gonna sit back when someone captions Mulan with “Chinese Empire, 380 AD.”  WHAT NONONONO
