MGTOW is looking better and better everyday.

Yes ladies, please do #ShoutYourStatus. In fact, wear it on your sleeve so I know on sight to stay the fuck away from you. Maybe a big red armband to match the flags?

Quote:April is STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) Awareness Month, as you might have guessed by the influx of awareness campaigns. These important public health crusades draw attention to STDs and STIs, but they also leave out a crucial population: The people who already have them.

One in five Americans have genital herpes. Think about that — in a room of 25 people, five of them will have herpes. And yet for most people, publicly declaring "I have an STI," seems terrifying.

A group of STI-positive women are trying to change that. Writer and social media maven Ella Dawson, along with social work student Kayla Axelrod, freelance writer Britni de la Cretaz, and writer/activist Lachrista Greco started the hashtag #ShoutYourStatus to destigmatize STIs. Their goal is to promote a more open conversation about living with STIs.

"It's important to take back the STI-shaming narrative, and instead, infuse it with facts and compassion," Greco told Revelist.

Do you have an STI? This STI Awareness Month, help us shatter stigma with the hashtag #ShoutYourStatus.
— Britni de la Cretaz (@britnidlc) April 6, 2016

Dawson was diagnosed with herpes in May 2013, and immediately told her family, close friends and sexual partners. Over the next few months, she shared her diagnosis with classmates as well. She found that people were more curious than judgmental, and were excited to talk with someone who openly shared their experience.

While she received positive responses, she still felt the effects of society's STI stigma. She wrote on her blog about the shame she felt walking by public health posters with messages like, “Love: It’s more beautiful without a herpes outbreak.”

Here's a fun public health challenge: can you make STI PSA posters that make it easier to disclose, not harder? pic.twitter.com/QIRvBUbSaf

“So much of STI Awareness Month has focused on alarming statistics about the prevalence of STIs and fear-mongering discussion of symptoms,” Dawson told Revelist. “Meanwhile, the millions of us who live with STIs aren't a part of that conversation.”

So she and her proudly-positive friends inserted themselves into that conversation, using #ShoutYourStatus. They encourage others with STIs to proudly declare their status, in whatever way they feel comfortable. And they want the world to know that STI awareness isn’t just about wearing condoms — it’s about acknowledging and accepting those with STIs.

“The truth of the matter is, many people are living, and living happily, as STI+ people,” de la Cretaz told Revelist. “Being able to be publicly open about my status as someone with genital herpes is a privilege and I want to use that privilege to help other people feel less alone."

Check out tweets from some of the brave individuals fighting STI stigma and shouting their status, below.

#ShoutYourStatus because more people have STIs than don't, but no one talks about it.

Seems STIs are likely to explode in the west given the prevalent culture.

Hope someone builds a database for all those stupid women so we can plug the info into an app to avoid them.

Post: #4

I think sometimes, when people are just sitting around and have no intellectual curiosity, they just need to do something to feed the beast of validation. Or their lives are just so fucked up, so disastrous, where they just say fuck it. It is their attempt to show they have some control. Some power.

And then they pour their broken souls into some ridiculous idea that they think can most reward them emotionally. And stupid shit like this, and the vaginal yeast bread ideas come from.

Every time, a brief thought comes to me, "How much worse and stupid can it get", it is always replaced - "It can."

Society's craziness builds upon its own craziness. Sadly, the snowball is still gaining speed.

Edit: I do imagine a lot of funny shit can be done with that hashtag. That is until your twitter account gets suspended.

Edit: Apparently the 4 courageous feminists who started this have locked their accounts.

In other words, parasites who most likely never had to work for anything in life.

I somewhat appreciate the honesty from these slags. It lets me know upfront that they are easy and not worth more than a minute of pumping.

Last summer, I banged a girl I met online who told me that she had "HSV-1." I thought for a second about what she had just said, because it did sound similar to HIV, before it clicked that she was talking about Herpes. I put a condom on and banged her, while lasting all of 45 seconds. I figured the longer I pound away, the greater the risk of catching her herp, and whatever else she was carrying.

After that, I was a little worried, but now, in the words of Donald Trump, I guarantee you there's no problem.

STI Month is a feminist religious holiday, where they celebrate whoredom and spread the word.



This particular empowered woman taught children about her disease at an elite private school.

And what did she teach he kids?

Off of bigrich's post - there was a link to a blog. In it the article had this quote.

Quote:Emily DePasse (@eld3393 on Twitter) calls herself “The Carrie Bradshaw of Herpes”

The fact that a woman mentions Carrie Bradshaw is clearly fucked in the head.

Yes, yes she is.

I also think this one woman embodies all anyone needs to know about the women of today. Narcissism, lack of shame or remorse, grandiosity, lack of empathy (has likely exposed others), lack of long-term thinking ability (her grandkids are gonna see that, mind you by then every will know everything and she most likely won't reproduce anyway), and of course above all else we have the idea that women's sexuality is something of infinite and constant value that cab be bought, sold, traded all at any price, and the woman that chooses to do so should not expect any sort of long term consequences as a result.

Pride (not hubris/narcissism that is running wild these days) means that you put in the extra effort to do a good job. Also it set some boundaries, but now no one wants to be told anything.

Unless, there is a massive change in how children are raised and how people treat one another, it will just get worse.

Cool stuff. If some old bangs harass me about the STDs I passed along (hey, totally my bad), I'll refer them to #ShoutYourStatus and tell them there's nothing more fulfilling in life than to be a screechy, bitter "activist." Embrace this new aspect of your life!

Exactly. Women are masters at avoiding shame. I'll direct you to my Four Rules Of Female Behaviour:

Quote:Rule #4: If I am stigmatised for any moral or social transgressions in the righteous pursuit of what I believe I deserve, then what is the least amount of effort I can expend to defuse criticism, deflect blame or escape punishment?

Why Rule 4 is so insidious:

Quote:Rule #4 is how women consistently-lower the bar of any civilisation. If enough female listeners can empathise with the justification for transgression by imagining being in her position, the transgression becomes destigmatised.

If I stumbled across a time machine, killing Hitler wouldn't even cross my mind. I'd instantly jump back to erase whomever created 'Sex In The City'. Women and the media would both be vastly-improved.

You'd be better off going back to take out Lenin rather than Hitler.

As for the STI girls. Yeah that's it; make the oncoming sex robots even more appealing for all the beta men out there.

Some people just lead so boring and pampered lives that they do welcome such problems in their lives - it gives them some sense of life.

What a wonderful time to be alive, people celebrating having diseases, and actively aware of spreading it.

This is straight woman's version of "bug chasing"

Imaging if we started tweeting shout your Ebola or Sars virus? Would we be considered brave?

I mean I can picture all the mental gymnastics that those "activists" would say about Ebola. "Well Ebola is just a manifestation of white colonialism on the indigenous population of Africa, we should bare this social disease as penance"

Society is circling the drain.

I feel they neglect one thing when it comes to STDs and why women have more than men.

This could rub some here the wrong way.

Less men sleep with more women. If a man is fucking around he has the ability to transfer it to many women. The minority of men sleep with the majority of women.
