@sappholives83 New labels can be given to toxic male behaviors that have existed for millennia, but they are just labels — I just see the same old story: another man sexually harassing women.
I keep hearing from Lindsay Clancy supporters that the “system failed her.”
It is your individual responsibility to manage your mental health, seek help when you need it, and communicate what you are experiencing. There is no “system” that is responsible for you.
There have been some truly sickening stories of male violence from Austria. I was horrified at that father who imprisoned his daughter for so many years in an underground prison where she gave birth multiple times. Then the school girl who was abducted and kept prisoner for many years by another sick bastard.
"shared her"
A man purposefully drugged his wife so that other men could rape her and the men raped her to death and this is framed as "sharing" as if she was a sandwich and not a person
She was only 39 and covered in blood when her teenage daughter found her lifeless body.
We need an island for these men. Far, far away from the rest of us.
"An Austrian woman who was allegedly drugged by her husband so that other men could rape her has died of the injuries she sustained while being sexually abused."
I have no words. The article is hellish reading.

@jk_rowling It seems that fundamentally, she’s happy with sex segregation that keeps women in their place, but is against any sex segregation when it genuinely benefits women.
In 1900, the entire world was patriarchal: men ran every institution and elevated their righteous dominance.
Men protected their own, preserved jobs for the boys, and locked women out.
Smashing those old boys clubs, securing legal victories, and normalising men and women's equal participation in public life is frankly one of the most consequential revolutions in world history.
Yet European institutions are reluctant to protect this great advance for equality?

@stellacreasy It seems that fundamentally, you’re happy with sex segregation that keeps women in their place, but are against any sex segregation when it genuinely benefits women.
@jk_rowling There are people who believe inclusivity must take precedence above all else, and there are those who think in a number of situations, inclusivity cannot always take precedence.
@JournalismSEEN This also harms women. Survivors already face too many barriers to reporting rape, often fearing they won't be believed. Articles like this only reinforce the false narrative that a significant portion of rape allegations from women are fabricated.
This relates specifically to the settlements in the West Bank. The UK government supports Israel and its right to defend itself and to exist, but that does not mean it must support everything the current Israeli government is doing. Palestinians in the West Bank are genuinely suffering and are being driven out of their homes.
It can't be right that boys in the UK are subjected to painful and risky non-therapeutic circumcisions by people with no medical qualifications. The injuries and deaths demonstrate that, at the bare minimum, much stronger regulation is urgently needed.
Education was, for generations, Scotland's great advantage point. No longer.
New PISA results out today shows how devolution turned Scottish schools into a labs for experiments - with fateful consequences.
Genevieve is an absolute heroine for the work she does, revealing stories that the mainstream media wouldn’t touch with a barge pole yet it is extremely necessary work.
She faces relentless abuse yet she is an example to those journalists who won’t do what she does.
@LucyHunterB@Daily_Record I've reported it as hate, abuse or harassment. This should be against the law. Newspapers that deliberately lie about a perpetrators sex need to be stopped.
@Daily_Record At a time when distrust in mainstream media is fuelling the conspiracy theories that feed extremism, you decide to erode public trust in the mainstream media. Attributing mens crimes to women is disinformation. #NotOurCrimes
