Fuck Facebook

Posted on: July 27th, 2011 by Liandra 2 Comments

I have been experiencing censorship in a few different online spaces. The first time was on youtube when my account was deleted without warning for making a movie where two Barbies, I had drawn nipples on and added pubic hair to, demanded from Mattel there be anatomically correct genitals in future Barbie models and then they fucked each other.

I could understand why that one was taken down…it was probably breaching a few conditions but they could have simply removed the video and not my entire account. Win to the prudes.

So I went over to vimeo but they censored my Face video I uploaded to my account there because it depicted sexually explicit material. It was simply a video of my face as I orgasmed and I explained to them that this was no more sexually explicit than the scene in ‘When Harry Met Sally’ where Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm. Vimeo agreed with my appeal and reinstated the video. Win to me.

Now most recently Facebook deleted my entire account because someone amongst my friends reported an image in my photos as being too sexually explicit. The image was the one you see with this blog post of myself masturbating but I had already completely obscured my hand and cunt in photo shop for facebook. So just an insinuation of an act of me masturbating though you could see no genitals or breasts. Sheesh…win to the prudes.

So it has got me wondering is there an adult only online social network that is sex positive and GLBTQ friendly? if there is why are we all on facebook and if there isn’t why not? Apparently Google+ is going to be GLBTQ friendly and allow for multiple trans and queer friendly gender definitions. I’ve put my name down for google plus.

It is interesting to me also that it was that image of masturbation and not the one of me naked on all fours with a naked man pressed up against my behind that got reported. Why are people more offended by masturbation than fucking?

Teaching Sexual Diversity in Primary Schools is a MUST!

Posted on: July 18th, 2011 by Liandra

The movie says that the parents of children of 8 and 9 aren’t old enough to talk about this stuff but they are talking about it to each other already. My daughter has been bullied at school since she was six by her peers because she has a mother in a same sex relationship. So if the children are old enough to be abusively homophobic then they are old enough to be taught to not abuse people because of their sexuality.

 

This people aren’t trying to teach children about how to have gay sex, they are teaching the children about the fact that their is diversity in regard to gender coupling. So just like they read stories with a mum and dad in they can also read stories about mums and mums and also dads and dads. Is a story about a mum and dad exposing children to heterosexual sex too early? Of course not, and neither is this.

 

As for this being an issue for the parents to discuss. Well yes it is, of course. However, often children who bully their peers at school are experiencing bullying either between their parents or from their parents and are mimicking this behaviour at school as they have seen it at home. It is the same with homophobic bullying. Children who bully children of same sex parents at school do so because at home they have received this homophobic sentiment from their parents. We don’t object when schools intervene to teach kids not to use violence and verbal cruelty against other students at school so why are so many against their children being taught not to abuse people, or their children, for who they are attracted to and have a loving relationship with?

A Week in Li’s World

Let me tell you about my week…

I did a Reading Time movie in a boat on the canals of Amsterdam…

…I fucked a Barbie (and had five orgasms! who knew Barbie had it in her???)

 

…found silicone dildos made to look like antiques.

 

…and fell in love with at least six new women from this fucking awesome video about feminism, sex, human sexuality, sex workers rights and human rights. It’s brilliant. Watch it.

Discover Women with Beautiful Minds and LOUD VOICES

Nicole Daedone is a new name emerging amongst the ranks of sex positive orgasmic women and I like what she’s got to say, even if her perspective differs from mine quite significantly at times, so I immediately thought I would spread her words far and wide. Nicole Daedone ‘Orgasm:The Cure for the Hunger of Western Women’

Mac McClelland

Mac Macclelland is a jounalist who utilised safe and controlled violent sex to overcome post traumatic stress disorder. It is a beautiful piece of writing that lays her experience and her recovery bare. I highly recommend it http://www.good.is/post/how-violent-sex-helped-ease-my-ptsd/

Last but absolutely not least is the loquacious Laci Green.

As an incidental non related aside you can also check my profile out on vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/user6402970 it’s nothing my website subscribers haven’t seen before but I just thought I would let you know I am there.
