I am totally okay with talking about this! You did not hijack my thread! :) I am the one who went off topic. :)

It's not so much DV amongst natives themselves.
I'll just list here the different topics she researched and discusses (per chapter):

Chpt. 1: Sexual Violence As a Tool of Genocide

Chpt. 2: Boarding School Abuses and the Case for Reparations

Chpt. 3: Rape of the Land

Chpt. 4: The Colonization of Native Womens' Reproductive Health

Chpt. 5: Medical Experimentation in Native Communities

Chpt 6: Spiritual Appropriation as Sexual Violence

Chpt 7: Anticolonial Responses to Gender Violence

Chpt 8: U.S. Empire and the War Against Native Sovereignty

But I would love nothing more than to get any info you are willing to share, if you do not mind me messaging you?

The post we're discussing came at a bad time, so a lot of what I'm saying isn't really directed at you personally.

I've always known you thought you weren't talking about me.

I replied in a way that took it personally because I want you to understand that if you're generalising about an entire gender, it includes the people around you; including people who really like you.
As mentioned, I tolerated and internalised that kind of talk for the first half of my life, and I'm not willing to do that anymore. It's not good for anybody.
I just want to nip that kind of generalisation in the bud.

So, howsabout them fictional Canucks, eh?

I *ALMOST* finished volume 1.
ALMOST.
But the art was really hard to keep up with. I am going to finish it, I swear, but not right now. :D
I did love the inclusion of AF in X-Men.
Are they doing anything with them now?

1. What you said wasn't really directed at me personally, but yet what I said, in general, you decided to take personally?? And that's okay? I mean, please let me know since you are calling the shots on the behaviors here.

2. This is kind of my thread. If you don't like my statements, you can go read some AF and ignore my thread.

Sorry it has to be that way. I'm a nice person, and you know that, but you kind of crossed a line here with me.
