Check out this graphic the next time someone pulls the "but what about all the guys who are falsely accused of rape?" line. It wraps up the horrible stats about how little rapes are reported, and, of those reported rapes, how few of them a tried for rape, and how a tiny percentage spend any time in jail.

54% of rapists are never even accused.
97% of rapists will never spend a day in jail. (RAINN)

Words are powerful.

Actions are more powerful.

Fish on Bikes is a blog about being an action-oriented feminist. Too often, I see powerful exposure of oppression, but without any action steps that individuals can take to work against them. Here, I aim to expose, educate, and offer specific actions that we can all do to create a more equal society.

I recognize that my experience as a white woman of class privilege limits my ability to write about the experience of people who are non-white, homosexual, transgender, etc. I do my best to work against a society that oppresses these folks as well, and when I mess up (and I will) please do me the kindness of respectfully educating me so I can do better.
