Because I am a Woman

I am a graduate student studying in Worcester, MA. I am also a peer sex educator, reproductive justice activist, and feminist.

This blog is about sex-positivity, sex-ed, feminism, reproductive justice, birth justice, intersectionality, and activism.

Feel free to send me a message with your questions about sexual health, feminism, or anything else!

For more information about any of these things please check out the resources tab or leave me a question in my ask box! I would love to talk to you!

If you have anything you would like to bring to my attention or ask that you do not feel comfortable submitting to this page send me an email at: becauseiamawoman.tumblr@gmail.com

Many thanks to Susan of susanharkins.com for designing my logo!

I get furious when anyone, especially a man, calls me honey or sweetie. The problem is I work at a book store and have to help people who call me this on a regular basis. It happened today and all I could do was stare blankly and say under my breath "my name is not sweetie". While I understand that I don't have on a nametag (we aren't allowed), is there any way I can politely tell the person that I don't like this? Am I being irrational? I feel like people think I am for this.

You aren’t being irrational at all. I think the main thing to remember here is consent- and if you aren’t giving it then people shouldn’t be calling you by those names. Consent applies to a lot more than sex, its always important for everyone to remember this!
