The levels of the pyramid are: <br /><br />1. Jews<br /><br />2. Blacks/Aboriginals<br /><br />3. LGBTQ<br /><br />4. Women, especially Black, lesbian women.<br /><br />5. Muslims <br /><br />6. Latinos<br /><br />7. Asians<br /><br />8. Romani<br /><br />9. Straight White males<br /><br />Jews are ALWAYS at the top of the pyramid. The women of any level, except for Jews, have precedence over the men of the same level. Levels 4 and 5 can change depending on the day of the week. Levels 6 and 7 will sometimes alternate. <br /><br />Straight White males are almost always found at the bottom of the pyramid. Sometimes they are promoted multiple levels - but are demoted back to the bottom when the crisis is over.Citizenfitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730893134999883697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-921014797441253022017-05-01T23:53:30.107-04:002017-05-01T23:53:30.107-04:00Rape jokes are not funny, no matter what.

I think out of all the things we can do, lately, my anger has been focused on the slut-shamers. I give zero fucks how many people a person has had sex with before. Zero. Whatever decision a consenting adult makes for their sex life is their own personal decision. BUT, when that decision is made for them and an act in no longer consensual, it should be all of our business. We should always stand up for that victim.Erin of TexErin-in-SydneyLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744003004126232764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-2922578228860690342017-04-26T16:25:34.033-04:002017-04-26T16:25:34.033-04:00I HATE "boys will be boys."

The rules are simple: Keep your f*cking hands to yourself & YOU are responsible for YOUR actions (you don't get to blame it on clothes or drinks or whatever). This topic just makes me so uncontrollably angry (as I know it does for you, too).
