As a patient, I don’t love how many pregnancy tests they have ordered over a lifetime of chronic illness, without even asking, when nearly every single time I was absolutely certain I was not pregnant.
@MissDahlELama
I heard one in the early days of vid/wifi monitors about some guy talking to toddlers at night, and the parents thought it was dreams or imaginary friends until they found out it was NOT, IT WAS A HUMAN ADULT MALE talking to their kids all night long and I just. No.

"She can seduce her way into being safe with a man" is just another way of saying she is not safe unless he has access to her sexually. Whether she decides to strategically offer it or he takes it by force, the man WILL get sex from her. Who cares if she wants sex or not.
@JessPected
Why do I get the feeling not all of the allegations would be false.
Also. It’s far more likely for a woman to be raped by a man she already knows. So how is assigning her a male escort she knows supposed to keep her safe from being assaulted.
whenever someone tries to sell me "community policing" propaganda, i think about how happy the cops are in this picture of a quilt the police department made from the signs of people in poverty they arrested for begging for help.
@CarissasNewLife
A lot of this resonated with me… way too much. Except within Orthodox Judaism. I learned the hard way that there’s no way you can dress that will keep you safe from a sexual predator. (He outright told me he targeted me *because* I was dressed so modestly.)

Sex workers also get to deny consent to creepy dudes and do not exist to mop up all the overflowing sexual violence. Sorry Fin, but you’re wrong on this one.
@ask_aubry
Notice he only started caring about her “mental health” when she didn’t have sex with him for 2 days. Not a word about love or affection, he wants to use her sexually and manipulate her so as to have power over her. Every word of this is terrible.

I will never understand men who watch a whole pregnancy and birth and then do anything other than endlessly supporting and protecting their partner. Boggles the mind.
@ask_aubry
Maybe gift the sister a cute swimsuit in her current size and remind her that all you need for a “beach body” is a body that you bring to the beach. She needs some serious encouragement and support, and clearly “Adam” is not up to the task.
Seeing “men aren’t having as much sex as they used to” thinkpieces right next to horror stories of women trying to access birth control, meds that could cause birth defects while they are of childbearing age, and of course managing miscarriages and abortions… is a real mindfuck.

We need to recognize that the rise in COVID cases isn't just people refusing to wear masks, having large gatherings, etc. It's people being forced to go back to work under dangerous conditions because Congress won't pass a fucking stimulus bill.

Maybe don’t stress her out because it’s not nice to HER and not great for HER health. Framing it as being about stress harming the *baby* while ignoring the person standing in front of you is… not great.

He treated his first wife and son like they were disposable and still doesn’t get why that’s a problem. After all, he has a new wife and two “great” kids, why would he need to stay in touch with his first son. 🙄
@janefortruth
They always worry about the consequences for the man’s life, career, family but seemingly do not care what happens to a survivor’s life and future. We are disposable.

We don’t know that nobody else had called it in yet. But this guy clearly realizes as the video progresses how serious a situation it is, and then shuts down to try to render aid. He filmed for 2 minutes while trying to figure things out. I think we can give him a break.

Men saying we are only going to be granted the right to survive if we turn ourselves over for their sexual use is *precisely* why so many women are choosing the bear.

This clip makes it clear that it's not just about having attractive body parts - it's how the body moves and talks etc. The "male" character stands on his own while the "female" character wiggles all over/around him, talking with a simpering flirtatious tone.

@ThomBlank
This is correct. The only time “no” might really be a “yes” is when you engage in role play and have set guidelines beforehand. Then you would have a safe word to actually stop if you need to stop.
@Tinu
The state of Illinois actually recently bought up a bunch of medical debt and forgave it which was amazing. The biggest problem is, there’s no way to target which debt you buy (as far as I know) to specifically help people stuck in the system like that.

Even the fact that we are given views of the "female" character's body from every angle while the "male" character's body is not focused on at all. Not displayed for consumption.

Part of why this made such a big splash is because so many of us recognize that painfully familiar look on her face. And it's time to stop questioning HER actions and reactions. It's time for HIM to be held accountable for his deliberate, and public, violation of her autonomy.

People said the 10yo in the news “should have known she was pregnant earlier.” She was 6 weeks and 3 days. Ohio has a 6 week ban. I’m not sure I would know within 6 weeks. I’m not sure most people understand how “6 weeks” is counted.

Hi, I am a “real” rape victim (many times over). I was drugged and raped by a stranger, and I also had a partner who came inside me without my consent. The broken trust of someone you love is deeply damaging… rape isn’t only about physical aggression, it’s about taking power.
We have just learned that someone we invited to CPAC has expressed reprehensible views that have no home with our conference or our organization. The individual will not be participating at our conference.
ILLINOIS: My sister, who is an ER doctor and Chief of Staff at her hospital, says at our current rate of infection, we will run out of ICU beds by Thanksgiving.

Don’t forget “she should do porn… it’s legal…”
He feels entitled to her body, and if she won’t share it with him he’s perfectly fine sexualizing from afar.
@ask_aubry
It amazes me that these men think a woman’s “sexual peak” is around… age 19. But not really, because what they want is someone who doesn’t know better who they can push around. They don’t actually care about women’s sexual experience. (I got wayyyy more horny after I hit 35.)
@ask_aubry
She was sharing it with them, taking it out when they visited, creating memories (and putting a lot of time and effort in as well) — but they had to HAVE it. She wasn't locking it away and refusing to let anybody touch it, she was including them. That's what made it valuable.
@_nomadic_soul
I’m becoming more and more convinced that they hate that video BECAUSE it was not seductive. It was women having fun, being happy, and looking great — but not thru the lens of the male gaze. There’s nothing for them to consume and it makes them uneasy.

That would be 10 hours in class, presumably he has reading and papers and meetings get have labwork. But yeah still much less than a full time job.

The number of people who apparently think Jewish religious observance is political in and of itself, and that you can’t be publicly Jewish without it signaling approval for the actions of the Israeli government… is a lot higher than I had hoped.

It seems like it’s actually shorthand for “partner who whines that they aren’t getting enough sex” and “partner who is Just Tired Of This Shit.” Actual libido issues can come with open communication and a desire to help each other without hurting each other.

If one slice of pizza was going to leave him hungry he could have picked up a snack somewhere. Your wife is growing an entire human, let her eat what she wants!! You have to learn to put your needs second when you have kids.

Thank goodness it’s only 6 months of her life wasted, I was worried it was 6 years and on the cusp of marriage. Easy enough to extricate herself.
@GeigerEmilyA
If you don't believe that a woman's body is ultimately her own, at ALL times and in ALL circumstances, it's hard to fully grasp how traumatic it is to have that violated.
America, where you can be forced to carry a pregnancy you don’t want or can’t afford or is a risk to your life or whatever… and then 4 weeks after giving birth, back to work. Because “pro life” and “bootstraps.”
@JessPected
I don’t know anything about the dude but the fact that he knows the people who attend his events would be more likely to respect a man’s claim of ownership over a woman’s body than her own says it all.
@dazeydaisybaby
@ask_aubry
Nobody who complains about how women dress truly believes that when women are fully covered like that, they are never assaulted.
As someone who dresses modestly in America — men regularly get *angry* at me for not displaying more of my body publicly. There’s no winning.
@ThexImiko
@NBedera
@oceanbluealex
The whole point here is that they did it at home and only invited people they thought were safe. They *were* being super duper careful and it didn’t stop the assault from happening. There’s no amount of “careful” that can save you; it’s the rapist who needs to change behavior.
