@deanjohnsonuk This- just absolutely this. Feels like membership is not even a choice if you want to be taken seriously and get into the rooms you want to get into. I hate that I feel annoyed every time that money comes out of my account!
people surprised that i’m into something as masc as formula 1 as if it isn’t just a reality show about rich twinks with thick necks fighting to shake a bottle and spray each other in the face
Sending my love to any other women and people who are enduring the horror of their sexual trauma resurfacing in the wake of the Brand allegations.
It’s horrific. Get attacked, where do you go, to the police who you can’t trust because of all the rapist officers? The guys that took photos of murdered sisters? The people who allowed one of the most prolific rapists to carry on in their force?
Write to your MP? Well, loads of our lawmakers have faced allegations of rape. What about the PM? Johnson had allegations against him too.
Even if you went to the fucking palace you’d find the actual King was once advised by Savile and is protecting and rehabilitating his brother, Andrew. The Queen paid off his rape accuser.
What about the place you get your news? They sit on allegations for years and allow men facing serious allegations to carry on working and hush up accusations.
We feel hopeless and powerless when we are harassed or attacked, everywhere we’d go for help is full of people we cannot trust and on top of that we are attacked if we aren’t the perfect victim, we are told we are lying.
Even a woman sexually assaulted in front of millions of people in plain sight, for the world to see after winning the World Cup was called a liar.
Then every time a new article comes out we live with the hell of knowing the men that abused us, attacked us or tried to harm us are free. Free of accountability, free of consequences and free to ruin another woman’s life.
We have to warn each other about certain men we know, like a neighbourhood watch scheme. We have to complete never ending checklists, we can’t let our guard down. Ever. Then if the worst happens? We are more likely to get a rape conviction if they kill us.
It’s our lives that are ruined, not even men who are convicted have their lives ruined. Men are believed. Men are protected, when men are statistically, globally, the people who hurt all other genders. I can’t even walk in the park in the day without being afraid.
Women live a sort of half life, the fear is always there. It’s fucking enraging. Women deserve better than this.
How gross were the mid 2000’s🤢 Watching #Dispatches last night brought back horrible memories, which I didn’t even register as horrible at the time. A time when the parents of 11 year olds were asked to buy them Playboy accessories for Xmas. Perpetrators and enablers everywhere.
