PLEASE REPOST: New Kink.com policy disrespects...
maxineholloway:
This past month a severe pay cut was given to the women who work at KinkLive.com. They needed to save money and they did it by taking it from the models.

Ohhhh, this. So tired of the “crazy slut” (and so many of my male friends are guilty of this). The idea that emotions are unacceptable, so you label women crazy, is… well, fuck you, is what it is.

Because, there you go, ‘justice.’ When stuff like that comes your way you don’t usually say anything because who gives a fuck, but oh well, let’s do it anyway. So, I’ve seen that shit before because I’ve been on the internet for 100 years, but it always looks...

Writer Si Spurrier was supposed to be on a “How To Write A Comic Script” panel today at London Super Comics Convention, but in support of Paul Cornell’s pledge to give up his seat on panels to qualified female creators when the panels are fewer than half women, he followed suit and gave his seat to cartoonist Tammy Taylor:
