veganchu asked: Hello! I was reading your post about veganism and the food banks and stuff ^.^ I volunteer at the Food Bank here in Olympia and they have like so much stuff there and they actually have a gluten free and a vegetarian section and I often times sort non-dairy products from dairy products and stuff. Plus they have a huge produce section. If you live in a city that has a good food bank like we have here you can attempt to be vegan ^.^ It's still limited but food banks are pretty awesome now

Olympia is a place where vegan food is readily available. That’s great that there is random vegan food at the food bank there, but I’m sure even there it’s probably not enough to completely nourish a family. Like I said, I ate out of food banks when I was growing up and there wasn’t anything vegan there. Not all food banks are awesome or have that kind of selection.

Whoops, my bad, I’m just a survivor of sexual abuse flying off the handle

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had a sexual partner violate some physical boundary of mine because I “didn’t communicate clearly enough”, I wasn’t vocal about it and it wasn’t a big deal anyway, not like rape-rape, more like something accidental, even if it was triggering or upsetting, and the other person was a great person who would have stopped if I’d just said no, and blah blah blah. The fact is, saying no, communicating a lack of consent, is not something we’re taught do, let alone to feel okay doing. Especially as a survivor of sexual assault, it has in the past often come down to “well I don’t want to seem like damaged goods” or some other such internalized bullshit. Women, survivors, etc, are told constantly to feel ashamed of even HAVING boundaries. And so we learn subtle ways of communicating things like “stop” and “go” - body language, enthusiasm, non-verbal cues. And when someone disregards those cues, we’re told that it’s because those cues weren’t enough.

First we’re told, “don’t say no, let them down easy”; then we’re told “well, you can’t be upset, because you didn’t say no, you tried to let them down easy, so it was really just as much your own fault as theirs”.

And this is something I thought I’d worked through years ago, that I thought I was solid on. It’s kind of shaking me up to realize that when I read this bullshit, I DIDN’T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT FOR THE BULLSHIT IT WAS. I thought, “oh yeah, that sounds legit”, because apparently I still have that much internalized victim-blaming crap in my head.

Fuck.

Practice egalitarianism much comrades?

Imagine if your mom was, for some reason, out sightseeing in Portland, and wandered in there to grab a coffee. And had to deal with the rude service. And waiting forever for her order while friends/cool kids got theirs. Just imagine.

They're so blind to their own bigotry.
