She in her madness prays for storms

Every time I see people crow about how wealthy white women will be protected and helped out by their powerful fathers and husbands even when abortion (and of late, interstate travel to access abortion care in other states) is illegal, I feel compelled to point out that after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the daughter of a wealthy, well-connected Republican man, accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, her own father shook the hand of Kavanaugh's father at their shared golf club and congratulated him on his son's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Men whose lifeblood is preserving the patriarchy don't entertain exceptions, even for their daughters and wives. At the end of the day, they don't see women as people, even those they purport to love, and consider them at best, accessories and at worst, problems to be handled.

I am losing my god damn mind

Eli was also recognised in a New York lesbian bar a few months ago, and when women raised the alarm about a self-admitted serial rapist who targets LGBT women, he tried to have them banned, and shared non-consensually taken images of the women to attempt to find out their details.

The idea that men assault women bc “society didn’t teach them about enthusiastic consent” is insane. You’re a useless fucking idiot if you genuinely believe that. Men are not the victims of the sex crimes they commit. They know what they’re doing

no but actually. so many people revealed who they are during the trial and they’re going to blame it on misinformation but i could be sitting in plato’s fucking cave and I still wouldn’t be doing a tik tok dance to someone’s SA testimony. like that’s not misinformation that’s just being rotten to your core

If you participated in the internet pile-on of Amber Heard, you’re not the victim here, regardless of how many TikToks you watched beforehand. You’re complicit, and the bad feeling you’re experiencing is your conscience.

men rape little girls so brutally they need surgery and lifelong care if they survive the ordeal… men force girls and women to “give them sexual favors” (aka they rape those girls and women) in return for access to aid supplies in situations of war and disaster relief… men force women into sexual slavery… men in prison sexually harass their female legal representatives… male patients sexually harass their female nurses… male orderlies rape old women in care homes… men will literally rape the corpses of women in morgues… but sex is not a real axis of oppression and women are just as bad as men :)

I hate men. I told this to my dad and sister today after I exploded in anger over my disgust that males being allowed in female spaces is wrong. That I’m tired of women having to move over to accommodate men. I was really pissed.

And then my dad asked why I was so angry, there must be some underlying reason for it.

There is. A lot of men are rapists. Women and girls can not tell the difference between a man who is sort of decent and a man who is a rapist. Men are not doing enough to combat this problem. They don’t care. They don’t care that other men are rapists and they certainly don’t care about women and girls.

I was reading this compilation earlier today of people who had overheard horrible things, and most of them involved rape or sexual exploitation.

1. A girl was in her college room and overheard the guys in the next room talking about how to rape her (if they should drug her food, or grab her late at night on her way to the bathroom), and all the vile torture-related things they wanted to do to her.

2. Someone in line at a burger joint overheard two older (50-60) guys talking about a friend’s daughter who was “smoking hot” and how they’d like to “fuck her before the school boys get at it”. One asked the other how old the daughter was now. “She just turned 13.”

3. A bartender saw a guy give another guy a small bottle and heard him describing how it would “knock her out, she won’t remember anything” and he could “do it over and over”.

4. Someone eating in a restaurant heard someone at the next table saying “I could probably rape most of the girls there” and his friend saying “I’d help you if she fought, you know that.”

Guys like to say “not all men”, but at this point it seems like more men have sick, horrifying thoughts like this than those who don’t. Either way, how can we be expected to take a chance when we don’t know which is which? It’s fucking terrifying to be a woman in this world.

Women have very little idea of how men really see them. I myself overheard some absolutely vile things, like a disgruntled office worker talking to another about how he’d love to anally rape his female boss because she keeps “ordering him around” and “needs to be put in her place”, or a guy on the train bragging to another about bullying his girlfriend until she cried, and the other guy laughed and praised the first for “keeping his woman in line”.

And this, mind you, is the stuff they say in public.

Just the other day I was out with a friend of mine at McDonalds by the back close to the restrooms when I overheard around 3 men (60s) complain to each other that their wives had arrived now so they won’t be able now to watch the women and girls go in and out of the restroom now

I’m just glad that the friend that I was with was a guy so I felt a little bit safer than if I had been with a female friend

ex construction worker here, men will in detail describe how they beat their wives how they verbally and psychologically abuse them and they laugh among each other about this. they will talk about the women they see in construction sites like as if they were nothing but meat. men will group together and harass any woman who works along with them and make them quit. and they do all that bc no one is there to do anything about it and theyre all men and they feel safe saying these things bc they know nothing is gonna be done to them, they know that among bros they will all protect each other.

i hate when men and other female bootlickers are like “not all men” when the reason why they dont personally witness these events is bc feminists worked hard to legislate against sexual harrasment, sex trafficking rape, domestic violence etc.

like its all so nice for yall to be able to enjoy the benefits of that movement while still saying how fucking useless it is

like “oh my man personally washes his dish amd occasionally wipes his asshole and he is a good man” yeah u have noone to thank except the current social climate which has increasingly given importance to gender equality. (you can also thank those “stupid feminazis” that you so desperately try to disassociate yourself from)

a question id like to know from these women is do you really know men? do you really believe that any of them would provide you the same kindness and the same credibility that you give them so generously? like do you really believe men are gonna spare you bc ur the “cool girl” and ur not like “those feminist bitches” bc if u do then im officially a doctor and im diagnosing u with stupid bitch syndrome.

The things grown ass men have said to me while I was a child & my female family members & friends.. it’s just fucking sick & yeah, that’s just things they wanted us to hear. I’m amazed by any woman who claims to have zero traumatic experiences that made them grow up too quickly & re-evaluate everything. I mean obv its partially denial cuz once you realize, then all these other moments & impressions from your youth will come back & it’s nice & safe to protect yourself.. but how? I just can remember even shit like ads & commercials that made me super uncomfortable around the age of 4 or 5. Sexualized scenes of women I’d reenact w my dolls bc I didn’t understand what or why it made me feel horrible inside.

I can’t remember the last day where I read the news and there wasn’t  an article about a man brutalising or killing a woman.

And those are just the stories that make it to the news…

Like I want to think better, I really do. But every fucking day there is another story…

“ 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡? 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. “

so u wanna talk about how bad hypersexualization of women is but you don't see any problems with pornography or the sex industry or how being sexy is viewed as the only way to true empowerment yet you think consent is important and that sexual assault is horrific but you don't see any problems with paid consent (prostitution etc) yet you hate how women are always judged by their looks but you don't see any problems with women being indoctrinated into caring about their appereance at all times and to whatever cost because it's a "choice" to wear makeup and do plastic surgery yet you think women should love themselves and their bodies

“It could be either childhood sexual abuse or adult sexual assault,” said study author Rebecca Thurston, a professor and director of the Women’s Biobehavioral Health Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public Health.

“Based upon population data, most women have their sexual assaults when they are in early adolescence and early adulthood,” she added, “so these are likely early experiences that we’re seeing the marks of later in life.”

Physical manifestations

The new study, presented Thursday at the annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society, adds to a growing body of research on the long-term impact of sexual assault on the body and the mind.

“We need to keep our attention on this issue of sexual violence against women and not let it fall off the radar screen of society, because it continues to be a major women’s health issue,” Thurston said.

Prior studies have found sexual trauma to be linked to higher levels of triglycerides and blood pressure in midlife, and a three-fold greater risk of developing carotid plaque, all key risk factors for heart disease.

In addition, a 2018 study Thurston conducted found women who reported prior sexual assault were three times more likely to experience depression and twice as likely to have elevated anxiety and insomnia than women without a history of sexual trauma.

Depression, anxiety and sleep disorders are all linked to poorer health outcomes, including heart disease, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

CDC statistics also show more than 1 in 3 women in the US (and 1 in 4 men) experience sexual assault at least once in their lifetimes. Considering the widespread impact, Thurston said physicians should be asking their patients about any prior sexual trauma, and then carefully monitoring the woman’s cardiovascular risk as she ages.

Women who have been sexually traumatized should also feel empowered to speak up and tell their doctors, she added.

Madder than before.

Please understand that Nicki is acting dumb and being a loud anti vaxxer on Twitter on purpose. The attention has successfully shifted from her husband

Men project their conniving violence towards women.

I found these in under 5 minutes.

Men aren’t pretending to be trans? So there’s just a high population of trans women who are sexually predatory?

"High population". That's 8 people, Karen. If you're going to judge entire groups of people based around just a small amount of people in said group, let's acknowledge the relation between TERFs and Nazis. You know, like the TERFs caught using nazi dogwhistles like racial hygiene, the ones sourcing alt right sources, the ones in the gender critical movement that claim transgender is a global ideology funded by Jews as a form of antisemitism, from people who source people who hate Jews, which is quite a few people in the gender critical community.

Wait, what does that say in your profile description?

As for the link between “terf and Nazis”… well.

This^ awesome trans gal helped popularize the word “cis” right here on Tumblr in 2012. Know why you don’t hear about him these days?

Oh, whoops. This is why^. He’s kind of a literal skinhead. The kids aren’t alt-right, they’re Alt-Reich.

Here’s Chelsea Manning, Trans Hero Extraordinaire…

Chillin with known white supremacist and alt-Reich voice Mike Cernovich… in 2018. Awkward…

And the far right party don’t start til the boys show up… the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, specifically:

Whoopsiedoodle! It’s almost like the trans community has historically been a home to men with white nationalist leanings.

Her entire fucking life has been ruined and he still got his damn job, at the interview where he screamed and cried and threw a tantrum.

everything women do in bathrooms and changerooms: is a porn category search term

men: installing cameras in women’s bathrooms so they can jack off to women peeing later 

news reports: man caught filming 15 year olds in changerooms

liberals: umm why don’t you want mixed sex spaces like no one would ever abuse this lol don’t be paranoid??? 😇😇😇😇

Alternately, liberals: ‘Well even if a man wanted to film women/attack women in women’s toilets, a door and a ‘ladies’ sign wouldn’t stop him! He would find a way to do it anyway, and therefore it’s your moral duty to make it easier for him!’

in the epilogue to trauma and recovery judith says “At the extreme, sexual violation is the definitive method of putting women in their place.” which is not news but is Very Concise

“When you make our abuse about you, it doesn’t help anyone” - exactly. Because the response “not all men” is basically a reaction guys have to feeling that they’re being accused of being bad and so they get defensive about it. Like they’re being told about atrocities that happen to women, but their impulse is to be personally insulted and be like “but what about my feelings?”
