I once sat with a girl who told me she had been raped.
She had gone to spend the night at her boyfriend’s house, & he spiked her drink.
She woke up to signs of sexual assault — confused, scared, & hurt.
I told her we could go together to make a police report.
I sat beside her as the officer said things like:
‘You shouldn’t have gone over there.’
‘You shouldn’t have stayed the night.’
‘You shouldn’t have accepted a drink.’
‘You shouldn’t have been drinking alcohol at all.’
Every word he said was about what she did wrong — not about what was done to her.
I corrected him. I told him that none of the choices she made were her fault.
None of this was her fault.
He was the one who drugged and assaulted her. It’s not ok to say it’s her fault. He was shocked and mumbled well “no”
Instead of taking her report with professionalism, without judgment, without bias — he made her feel blamed.
She left without filing charges.
This is how rape culture persists

ASLA UNUTMA!
İsrail askerlerinin doktor kılığına girerek Filistin hastanesine girip insanları öldürdüğünü asla unutmayın.
Bu terörizm ve savaş suçudur.
Male patterned baldness has been studied more than endometriosis.
Men's Viagra was approved in 6 months.
A pill for women's sexual pain took 17 years.
More research exists on male lab rats than on the entire menstrual cycle.
A male birth control pill was created but canceled due to side effects...The same ones women deal with
But let's talk about some myth invented by men called as Misandry
“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.
we have diseases like pcos, fibromyalgia, endometriosis which significantly reduces a woman’s quality of life w no treatment and women are told to just deal w it but yes let’s cure male patterned baldness
Telling a woman who was a victim of abuse that her experiences aren't valid because you've had a positive interaction with her abuser is one of the lowest, most disgusting things you can do.
If your first reaction to someone having their legs run over by an ICE vehicle is “was he here illegally” then you’ve completely lost your moral compass
The same goes for asking what the “whole story” is
There’s nothing a person could do to justify running them over with a car.
This woman who owns a restaurant told ICE when they came into order food to get out because she wasn’t going to allow them to scare her patrons or make them feel uncomfortable! 🤬
