Everything is Coming up Slutist

I recently had an article published by Slutist, which is currently one of my favorite feminist art blogs. Check them out and please let me know what you think of the article!

An excerpt:

What did I learn in Catholic school? What did I learn in church? I learned to be careful with my heart and my body, so careful, in fact, that I should rarely open them for anyone. To do so for the pursuit of pleasure, I learned, would be a dangerous road that will lead to stress, abandonment, heartbreak and disease.


I learned that the only safe (and morally acceptable) road would be to wait for the person who will commit to spending their life with me, relieving me of the pain of pursuit and the danger of heartbreak. This person would arrive like a savior and whisk me into a heaven of romance, sex, love and stability and I wouldn’t feel the need to give in to loneliness ever again.


At least, this is the impression such teachings made on eight-year-old me.
