“They'll say you are bad
or perhaps you are mad
or at least you
should stay undercover.
Your mind must be bare
if you would dare
to think you can love
more than one lover.”

“A slut is someone, usually a woman, who’s stepped outside of the very narrow lane that good girls are supposed to stay within. Sluts are loud. We’re messy. We don’t behave. In fact, the original definition of “slut” meant “untidy woman.” But since we live in a world that relies on women to be tidy in all ways, to be quiet and obedient and agreeable and available (but never aggressive), those of us who color outside of the lines get called sluts. And that word is meant to keep us in line.”

“All too often, when we see injustices, both great and small, we think, That's terrible, but we do nothing. We say nothing. We let other people fight their own battles. We remain silent because silence is easier. Qui tacet consentire videtur is Latin for 'Silence gives consent.' When we say nothing, when we do nothing, we are consenting to these trespasses against us.”

“Silence does not mean yes. No can be thought and felt but never said. It can be screamed silently on the inside. It can be in the wordless stone of a clenched fist, fingernails digging into palm. Her lips sealed. Her eyes closed. His body just taking, never asking, never taught to question silence”

“Mr. Vey, you cannot be stuffed into a locker without your consent." Dallstrom said, which may be the dumbest thing ever said in a school. "You should have resisted. That's like blaming someone who was struck by lightning for getting in the way.”

“If a man punches you in the eye, you are not expected to have pleaded with him not to for the crime to be accepted as assault. If you are sitting at your cash register and someone demands the cash in it, you will not be accused of consent if you simply hand it over. Only in the prosecution of rape is evidence of resistance an issue.”

“I was too afraid to risk it, so it was easier to be alone and not think about it. But I trust you." "You shouldn't." "Says the man who stopped." Neil gave Andrew a few moments to respond before saying, "I don't understand it, and I don't know what I'm doing, but I don't want to ignore it just because it's new. So are you completely off-limits or are there any safe zones?" "What are you hoping for, coordinates?" "I'm hoping to know where the lines are before I cross them," Neil said, "but I'm open to drawing a map on you if you want to loan me a marker. That's not a bad idea.”

“Manhood Diaries (The Sonnet)
Onun için cennet ol, cehennem değil.
Vicdanlı bir adam ol, hayvan değil.
Sé una bendición para ella, no una maldición.
Onun yaralarına ilacı ol, tuz değil.
Be her paradise, not prison.
Be her man, not master.
Be a miracle to her maladies.
Be her crown, not custard.
There is no alpha male and beta male,
There is only man and baboon.
Decency defines a man's character,
Not the virility of his heirloom.
Partner on the streets,
Slave between the sheets,
That's what a real man is.
Undaunted in danger,
Uncompromising in calamity,
That's what a real human is.”
― Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“She is not territory, she is temple (Sonnet)
She is not a territory to conquer,
she is a temple that grants
entry only through trust,
even the gaze must be earned.
I'll never get down on one knee,
if I do, I'll get down on both knees -
absolute surrender, nothing left out.
I don't wanna be a tourist, a passing fling,
I am a pilgrim to your love, to your life,
and at times when you permit, to your body.
By default all women are my sisters,
I may make an exception if I lose my heart,
even then my conscience wouldn't allow filth,
till I've earned her unwavering trust.”
― Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Life doesn’t begin with meaning, purpose or planning.
It begins with sex, the most brilliantly executed con in evolutionary history.
If reproduction required a logical argument, the human species would have ended in the Stone Age.”

“His lips, caught mid-thought, stuttered to silence as I rose on my toes, cutting off whatever half-formed sentence had lingered between us with the only response that mattered: the touch of yes. All the if-onlys and maybe-somedays we'd ever entertained summed up and exhaled in a kiss. The world didn't so much disappear as it contracted to a single, suspended heartbeat, where everything else—noise, movement, time itself—bled into a peripheral blur.”

“A 16-year-old is at the age of consent in most places. By now, she has to know how to say no to a guy suggesting sex. He's not a mindreader who knows a girl who's going along with everything doesn't want it.”

“The claimed legitimizing devices of political consent or personal labour served only to obscure the unjustifiable seizure of land from the common by the powerful. Other commoners at the time of those seizures had not consented to them, and even if they had done so, their consent could not bind later generations.”

“Fantasie ist ein Spielzimmer mit gepolsterten Wänden – die Realität aber braucht Türen aus Konsens und Schlüssel aus Respekt. Was im Kopf als Adrenalin funktioniert, ist außerhalb nur mit Zustimmung aller Beteiligten sexy.”

“His extreme gentleness was in no way tentative; rather it was a promise of power known and held in leash; a challenge and a provocation the more remarkable for its lack of demand. I am yours, it said. And if you will have me, then…”

“Even if the government used tax funds for good and with perfect integrity, it still would not change the fact that it is wrong to take the fruits of one’s labor without one’s consent.”

“We are building AI law around what machines are allowed to say, when we should also be asking what they were allowed to consume. Until laws require every organization collecting data to clearly disclose—BEFORE COLLECTION—whether that data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, improve, or otherwise be processed by an AI model, and require them to verify that the person supplying it has the legal right to do so, everything we write, say, create, submit, or share becomes vulnerable to uses we never knowingly agreed to.”

“I had learned that no could be received without punishment and that asking did not make desire smaller, only cleaner.”
