o Haddad tinha que criar um imposto de podcast

It's also ridiculous because men do these things all the time: talk to strangers, hand out with buddies and co-workers, drink too much and pass out. No one thinks that a finance guy who gets hammered is asking to get assaulted

We’re the bad guys for pointing out that men often rape women AND we’re the bad guys for suggesting that not every man should be treated as a would-be rapist the second he invites a woman to drink with him or go into his room.

Agree. It's weird that anyone would say "it's normal for men to rape if a woman goes into a private space with them or does anything that lowers her ability to advocate for herself!" while simultaneously saying "not all men" to anything that suggests men can't be trusted.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

eu de vdd queria entender pq ser uma pessoa quieta incomoda TANTO os outros

King Henry VIII:

they should create a type of government that benefits citizens

The reason nothing is changing is because the people in power don’t want it to change

A bunch of white, racist, slave owning, misogynistic, child rapists would have executed a bunch of white, racist, misogynistic, child rapist who want to reinstate slavery? Okay

If it wasnt the people it is now in government, it would be other people doing the same. Thats not an outlook on humanity itself, but rather the systemic issues that were founded here and have paved the way to this result ever since

I love when people say this as if this result wasnt always the end goal of the United States. The Founding fathers were rich white supremicists who owned slaves and wanted poor people to fight their wars for them. The whole thing needs dismantling full stop

happy 18th birthday to "come to brazil"

They act like assault victims are taking their shiny toys away instead of PREVENTING US FROM BEING GOVERNED BY RAPEY ASSHOLES.

Democrats desperately do not want to be better than Republicans. They want to *say* that they're better, but holding them to literally any moral standard immediately has them whining "but the people we claim to be objectively better than aren't held to this standard! This is so unfair!"

Nothing excites interest in the power of our justice system like a white guy being accused of the thing white guys keep doing repeatedly

If I never have to read some person saying "what happened to innocent until proven guilty" about why some guy should still be elected to one of the most powerful positions in the country despite numerous sexual assault allegations it will be too soon

This scarcity mindset on leaders keeps reps and senators in their seats for far too long. Normalize more retiring dbags.

You'll save yourself a lot of heartbreak if you just assume every zionist is also a sexual predator or at least okay with people they know being one. It's not a coincidence, lack of consent and lying are intrinsic to zionism

I know it's still considered impolitic to say it, but Hillary Clinton couldn't go nearly as hard as she could and should have with Trump on this shit for the simple reason that it would have meant talking about Bill.

If you don't have internal accountability, you can't pull off external accountability. Which imo is why Dems couldn't stop a known rapist like Trump in the first place

The "but Republicans would" crowd is the same one telling you that you can't have a candidate that is opposed to genocide.

Liberals have no real values and it’s why the left is correct about stuff way sooner

People like you not believing women is why Trump is in the white house now, and why he was the first time.

Yep. People don’t come forward publicly because the social costs for speaking out about abuse are almost always higher than being outed as an abuser. I’ve seen this same culture play out in academia over and over again.

Women know that speaking out will get them some delightful combo of seeing their own career ended for being difficult to torrents of hate, harassment and threats. And the harasser will do a Notes App apology, keep their head down for a year, and then be back

Friend of mine got publicly harassed on a panel by a comics writer everyone knew was a creeper—to the extent that older female editors would carefully make sure no young women sat next to him in meetings. When she wrote about her experience, even without naming the guy, she got death threats

If people from Gaza had been able to maintain one consistent account then people would be able to know who they are talking to and it would let them develop relationships instead of just posting as fast as they can before they get banned

Just periodic reminder that deleting all the Gazans hasn’t led to less spam or less scams- it’s led to more 🤷🏻‍♀️

May I suggest

ESTOU TEMPORARIAMENTE DE VOLTA! Porque apareceu essa porcaria aqui na frente de casa mas como já superamos o Teto de Gatos, não vamos poder adotar. Ela já sabe usar caixinha de areia, comer ração, beber água da fonte e é muuuuuuito simpática. Quem tiver interesse em São Paulo, me dá um toque!

If youre about to defend your emotional support favorite rapist I need you to shut the fuck up about the Epstein files.

interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists

A lot of people are truly deluded into believing they care deeply about sexism and sexual violence and that they’re also very kind and wonderful when they actively make life harder for people who have been and will be impacted by sexual violence

At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They get off on the suffering. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

A lot of survivors will wind up in the court system regardless of whether they report because perpetrators use litigation abuse now more than ever. Defamation lawsuits and custody disputes are completely legal ways perps torture and abuse their victims even more, and the court enables it.

In addition to the retraumatization and institutional betrayal survivors face from cops and courts (and often the media, too), survivors can also face being jailed, charged, surveilled, abused, harassed, and more when they report being victimized to cops. It happens a lot, more than people think.

When survivors talk to a reporter (or reporters plural) and don’t report to the police, it’s not because they’re less trustworthy and don’t want to see systemic action. It’s because survivors have been failed so spectacularly by cops and courts that many survivors rightfully no longer trust them.

Ultimately, survivors are the ones shouldering the most burden, doing the most work. Always. And I would respect and support a survivor’s decisions to pursue any path of their choosing. And journalism in its current state isn’t enough, either. But this is why some survivors choose journalism.

Just take the Epstein case as one example. Decades of ongoing inaction and refusal to investigate or prosecute perpetrators and enablers of systemic sexual abuse of young women and girls. Survivors and journalists are the ones exposing Epstein and his accomplices while feds refuse to.

Some journalists actively dislike survivors and have done pieces meant to undermine them, which I’ve also encountered. But I really don’t trust cops or courts to do the right thing when it comes to sexual violence. Their track record is worse than abysmal. They actively cause harm every day.

Not every journalist does a good job but you can actually tell the difference if you know enough about investigative processes, biases, and media literacy.

I trust journalists way more than cops and courts to investigate sexual violence allegations. When a thoroughly reported journalistic investigation comes out, like the ones about Eric Swalwell, I’ve seen enough. If you haven’t done this work you may be unaware of how much goes into it.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 8104: Easy reading doesn’t mean easy writing. It takes a lot of practice and expertise to make something seem effortless. (This goes for genre, comedy, kids’ books and lots of other well-crafted books not perceived as “literary.”)
