The Vagina Monologues

Saffia

"The clitoris is pure in purpose, It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure. The clitoris is simply a bundle of nerves: 8,000 nerve fibers, to be precise. That's a higher concentration of nerve fibers than is found anywhere else in the body, including the fingertips, lips, and tongue, and it is twice ...twice... twice the number in the penis. Who needs a handgun when you've got a semiautomatic." 

from Woman: An Intimate Geography, by Natalie Angier

I am over being polite about rape. It's been too long now, we have been too understanding.

We need people to truly try and imagine- once and for all- what it feels like to have your body invaded, your mind splintered, your soul shattered.

We need to OCCUPYRAPE in every school, park, radio, TV station, household, office, factory, refugee camp, military base, back room, nightclub, alleyway, courtroom, UN office.
