The problem gentlemen is you think "rapist" means scary man in a hoodie lurking in an alleyway at 3am. Of course you'd block that guy.
But it's the boyfriend you really loved who was angry that you hadn't wanted sex for two days and pinned you for the bed and then felt really bad about it.
It's the really sweet guy backstage who you loved working with for the whole production who knew you only wanted to be friends and then got you drunk at the after party and raped you in a dressing room.
It's the husband who whined and pleaded for sex long after you've said no for hours and refused to take no for an answer until you gave in every night for four years until you realised what it was.
It's the childhood friend who knows your parents and is your brother's best mate who suddenly attacked you when you were 17 and then told you he'd be thrown out of Oxford if you said anything.
It's the kind colleague who offered to drive you home from that conference when there was a train strike and then forced his hands into your pants in a lay-by and then threatened to leave you there at 3am if you didn't stop being a cockteasing bitch.
We're not dumb. We see the constant attempts to make anything short of stranger with a knife made up, regret, our fault really, a matter of the woman not being clear.
We know why you keep trying to make this 'not rape'. Because if coercion, marital rape, pressure, manipulation and exploitation count, then the comforting fantasy that rape is only ever a stranger with a knife falls apart.
CHINA:
"The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years.
The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions.
The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability."
Leopold of Belgium ruled Congo as his private property for 23 years. He cut off the limbs of Congolese who did not meet their daily quota on the plantation. At the end of his rule, he had killed 15million Congolese people. But we are taught only about Hitler. 😭😭

women are 32% more likely to die if their surgeon is a man. Women make up 51% of the population but receive only 4% of healthcare R&D funding. women experience 75% more side effects because 4/5 medications are only tested on men. 5X more research goes into erectile dysfunction, which affects 19% of men, than PMS which affects 90% of women. women are half as likely to receive painkillers after surgery. women are 2X more likely to be discharged from hospital when reporting pain….Strange that on average women pay 30% more for healthcare. Medical misogyny is real

ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis today while she was trying to drive away from them. Her killer must be held accountable and brought to justice. We need this rogue agency out of our neighborhoods. Abolish ICE now.
