I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +4k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search. 

Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog* 

*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted.  Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat. 

I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing: 

1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)

**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted. 

So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.

But Annie Lenox….one of my favorite stories from my childhood was seeing the “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” music video when I was ~12 years old and, for the first time ever, realizing what other girls were talking about when they talked about “cute” boys. Excited that I finally understood why they were so obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Timberlake, I was very quick to blurt out “wow he’s CUTE!” like my friends always did to the newest boyband music video. My mother had a good laugh and said “oh that’s a GIRL though”, and told my dad they had a good chuckle at my confusion. BUT WHOS LAUGHING NOW??

they're attracted to infantalization. they're attracted to their "innocence" and "purity." they're attracted to young girls who worship them because they don't know any better. they're attracted to girls with no sexual experience because they won't know where to set boundaries. they're attracted to their vulnerability, because the average man's sexuality is exploitative.

“Countless studies have since shown that exposure to pornography desensitizes men to violence against women, o…ften shaping their sexuality in such a way that they become unable to experience arousal without some element of dominance or violence. The evidence has been so damning that, at times, universities have refused to allow further research on the topic. When a study shows detrimental effects that cannot be reversed, ethics boards will often refuse similar studies to go on. This has happened repeatedly with research on the effects of pornography.”

-Maya Shlayen, Whose Porn, Whose Feminism

EDIT: By lab research, we mean exposing human subjects to porn in a lab setting, as Dolf Zillmann and Jennings Bryant of the University of Alabama did in the mid-80′s. This kind of research no longer occurs because of the detrimental effects referenced above. 

You can, however, ask people questions about porn use that has occurred outside the lab setting, then compare their answers to a variety of measures like happiness, aggression, acceptance of rape myths, etc. You will still see this kind of research, because it does not involve the researchers actually showing people porn.
