A public discourse on private matters, Rabbit Write is a blog about sex and intimacy. About navigating relationships–especially the most important relationship of all, the one with yourself.
This is a personal blog full of creative non-fiction stories, journalism and traditional blog posts.
Rachel Rabbit White started RabbitWrite.com in 2008. She’s now a freelance writer and editor and considers the work she does “Sex Journalism”. RRW has a passion for communicating and connecting on the internet, exploring her home-town Chicago and slowly developing her own brand of feminism.
“Communicating Strength and Empathy” is the philosophical backdrop for this blog. To me, this means:
Self Exploration: digging into your unconscious, your psychology and the experiences that have shaped you. On this blog, I often share the personal experiences that have led me to where I am today. I greatly encourage readers to also dig into their pasts.
Reclaiming of gender and sex. I think that once we have a solid self identity, we can then figure out how we want to be seen, what our sex and gender means for us rather than what society dictates based on what we were randomly born into.
Self Awareness is about gaining true happiness and self care in your life. It is not enough to dig in and understand our psychology, there is an action that comes with it, making changes, creating boundaries, taking ownership of self, improving relationships. This is where becoming your whole self happens.
Participation
The idea for this blog is to be a communal project. You — yes you — are the one who makes this blog come to life, who fleshes out the ideas that I lay down. This was never meant to be one girl chirping away about her ideas and experiences; the readers bring the voices that make this project harmonious. I think deeply on the topics that I write about in hopes that I can spark you, inspire your beautiful minds to keep going where I leave off.
Rabbit Write is a protected safe space, think of this as your practice area. Work out your thoughts here, so when you are out in the world you can speak with assurance!
Because Rabbit Write is a safe space, I ask that you please think before you post an angry comment or send me an email. Explore the idea that you could be reacting defensively. What made you feel anxious? Can you remember another time you felt that way?
Commenting Rules
- I have no doubt that you will use this forum for civilized and fruitful discussions! However these are great general rules that it’s best to know up front I will be expecting from all members.
- If you attack commenters or me, you will be banned. No abuse, negativity or rudeness will be tolerated.
- Please do not respond to a post when you are angry — take 10 minutes, figure out what is really bothering you, and then respond if you must. Ask yourself if you are simply reacting, or engaging in the conversation.
- Passive aggressive posts are strongly discouraged.
- Please respect your feelings. If you find that a post is becoming unpleasant, please disengage. If you feel your temper rising with someone, please stop responding to him. Anger and escalation will never lead us to the truth. Escalation is the responsibility of both parties.
- Please avoid Internet courage. Before posting, try to imagine speaking the words you are typing directly to the person, as if she were standing right in front of you. Also imagine that she is very large.
- I will work hard to ensure this is a place that is fun and helpful to use and I hope you will do the same. I can wait to talk to you soon!
