Red Menace!!: Discussing the Emotional and Mental Impact of STI's = Part of Comprehensive Sex Education

~The Red Menace~

Radical Feminist, Anarcha-Socialist, Lezbian Queer Dyke Cunt Lover, Secular Humanist, Activist Social Change Agent, Mestiza-Classed, Community Builder, RED MENACE!!

I'm a Public Leader, Community Organizer, and Community Builder. And I'm also an Anarcha-Socialist who fights to eliminate capitalism and other political, social, and economic hierarchies to create a society without institutions where all people have equal access to knowledge and production, emphasizes trade unions and decentralized methods of direct democracy, and finds any institutional form to be abusive. And I'm a Radical Feminist who believes the cause of women's oppression to be within patriarchy and the cause of all oppression to be in the mimicked hierarchical structures such as capitalism and amerikkkanism and globalism and colonialism and imperialism and jesusgodism which means society needs to be recreated and not changed cuz change just rearranges the same shit in a different order. And I'm a Secular Humanist who believes we got ourselves into this mess and can only rely on ourselves to get the hell out. And I'm Mestiza-Classed: the educated working-class wonder! And a Lezbian Queer Dyke Cunt Lover. An active activist social change agent iconoclastic catalyst. A VOICE with capital letters that stand tall and out and above and are heard and seen...always an outspoken mouth on the pretty face of the strong head of an independent woman. I'm an individual within the collective. And a Revolution! I'm a ReVoLuTiOn! and revolutionizer. A riotous redhead. THE Red Menace!

Discussing the Emotional and Mental Impact of STI's = Part of Comprehensive Sex Education

I appreciate the conversation that took place after this posting on Feministing.com. I've honestly never discussed what happens when you catch an STI (possible because I'm personally unaware of anyone who has one - because no one talks about them), or how you feel about yourself and grow and move on. This conversation was powerful to read and demonstrates how perhaps this is another part of comprehensive sex education that we should be learning and teaching. It is certainly another part of sexuality that we should be actively discussing amongst each other.

How Do I Feel Good After Catching a STI?
