Studies show that approaching youth with a bystander-intervention model is actually a lot more effective for reducing sexual assault, and it is also more enthusiastically received than programs that bill themselves as anti-rape.
We can tell youth that they are basically “rapists waiting to happen” (anti-rape initiative), or we can tell them that we know they would intervene if they saw harm happening to someone and we want to help empower them to do that (bystander intervention). The kids jump in with both feet for the latter! It was amazing to see children (and young boys in particular) excited to do this work and engage their creativity with it. Also, studies show that not only do they go on to intervene, but they also do not go on to sexually assault people themselves. Bystander intervention also takes the onus off the person being targeted to deter rape and empowers the collective to do something about it. It answers the question in the room when giggling boys are carrying an unconscious young woman up the stairs at a house party, and people are not sure how to respond and are waiting for “someone” to say or do something.

This is also, btw, how the US drastically reduced drunk driving in the US. Telling people they shouldn’t drive when intoxicated made absolutely zero difference. A slogan-and-ad-campaign for “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk!” changed drinking culture. Going after the bystanders is quite often the most effective thing to do in any social change.
challenge: there is a trans man. he is pre-medical transition. you must not infantilize him. go.
i don’t buy the “men need a woman who is nice to them to be deradicalized” bc all of these men have mothers and many have sisters, cousins, and female friends. they don’t want a woman who is nice to them and they won’t listen to a woman who is nice to them, because they don’t see women as human. they want someone to fuck, that’s it. if you think women owe them that you are literally falling for rape culture.
They need other men to stop tolerating, indulging or encouraging rampant misogyny. This isn't a problem women can fix.
The thing that deradicalized my brother wasn't me debating him, wasn't me pussy-footing around his feelings, wasn't me begging him with tears in my eyes to stop being a member of the alt-right......it was the guys in his online gaming group calling him out and threatening to boot him from the group for his political views.
The only thing that can deradicalize men is other men.
Can I just bring this particular video back into the attentions of just. Everyone. Cos people seem to forget who the fuck it is that's been fucking shit up for everyone recently?
having a cat is great. there's a small little animal wandering around. effervescent

adventure time timeline but it only points out insignificant things we have highly specific numbers for
Back when i worked i spent 8 hours packaging chicken skewers and the first day i was so exhausted that i couldn't stop shaking and whenever i closed my eyes to sleep i kept seeing chicken skewers and i couldn't get the smell out of my clothes so i did my best to picture images of The Beatles instesd but they kept fading & turned into chicken skewers like in some horrible nightmare and i was miserable
This is what it was like
What we could have had WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAD
Women are getting rid of their Trump supporting partners while they still legally can since they clearly don't give a shit about them or any other woman.
If you're thinking about getting a divorce, you should do it while you still can.

how is trump alive?? like hes rlly gone thru his whole life like That …. and no one has ever just fuckin decked him?? gave him the ole one two? knocked his lights out??? incredible
sorry to improve your day without much notice but
NEVERMIND REBLOGGING AGAIN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE ALL NEED
This is cathartic
People just becoming politically aware are never going to appreciate just how fucking hated this guy was before he was in politics. He was hated for over half a century. Everyone aware of him mocked and derided him as a cheating, greedy corporate asshole and mindless bully and this is by far not the only time anyone clocked his ass but it is probably one of the only times it got caught on video. Hatred of him was bipartisan all my life and it just goes to show how easily right wingers can be suckered by anyone who kisses their collective asshole on their pet agendas.
Never forget that the reason Trump seems like an over-the-top stupidly villainous antagonist from a 90s movie is because half of them were based on Trump and making fun of him.
The reason The Simpsons and a handful of other comedies ‘predicted’ the Trump presidency was because he kept saying he wanted to run and nobody could think of anything funnier than a President Trump.
Seeing tr*mp just get fucking decked instantly made my night better
aw fuck yeah
