“Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?” No, it smells like misogyny.
So on why this “bad pickup line” and other rape jokes aren’t funny….
Rape jokes perpetuate rape culture.
And what is rape culture? From here.

theblackbludger:
Being “sporting” means competing in a way that is fair. Think Inigo Montoya allowing the Dread Pirate Roberts to rest after climbing the Cliffs of Insanity, sure he was going to kill him later, but he was more than fair. In quidditch, playing fair is done by consistently adhering to the rules of play.
Penalties will be committed by even the best teams,...

Just removed “Captain” from my little about me blurb because the new captains are in charge now.

I like your big butt and I cannot lie. All you other canucks can’t deny. When Clare walks in with a mickey of maple syrup in your face, you get sprung. You say you wanna go to The States, well use me, use me because you ain’t your average Newfie. So just turn around, stick it out, even Americans got to shout, baby got back, eh?

Women in Quiddtich. Oh man it’s so awesome, and it’s really boosted my confidence for asserting myself and playing more next year. Just feeling really good now, seeing so many awesome ladies. It’s not like women should NEED to prove that we’re just as worthy to play this sport and be just as respected, but here it is anyway <3 Super prepared to be awesome next year

To Sean Rogan of Ithaca Hex! What an amazing fellow, good natured and fun to see at tournaments, your presence helped the Cup That Shall Not Be Named be a blast, and your ridiculous efforts on pitch even when exhausted just add to the fine bod’ you rock. ;) -

We’ll believe that you care about our equal treatment and representation in the sport if you call out other quidditch dudes on their sexist language and behavior. So please step up and say something if you see it.

#1: I am SO proud of our team after this weekend. Last year I was pretty content with us being a “meh” team but we’ve came so far in this last year.
#2: Every team was a joy to meet/play. Especially Vassar, who I honestly wish we could play every week. I’ve always admired Vassar because while they might not be the most athletic team they tend to beat a lot of really good...

Found out at a tournament this weekend that members of an opposing team were intentionally targeting myself and another player (two of the smallest players and two of the only three girls), not to shut us down, but to actually injure us and get us taken out of the game (it was overheard by a fellow teammate). In a sport like this of course injuries...
