Does anyone else do the neurodivergent plan of “I’m gonna catch up on everything/fix my whole life this weekend” every weekend but then it comes & you’re like “but I deserve a break from being in work mode all week” & then repeat perpetually?
(This is why I’m bad at emails)
"It's time that the macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape changes,"
"It's time we changed the way we look at rape."
- Gisèle Pelicot
These words Gisèle ends her time on the stand with carry the voices of countless women who have endured lifetimes of a rape culture in a society that routinely subjugates women and erodes their strength. Yet, women in this fight cannot be the only ones to dismantle these abusive patriarchal structures that men built. Men must join too.
Whether you help build or perpetuate it, we are all collectively responsible to help tackle these structures. They exist in our homes, our social lives, working lives, the institutions charged with protecting us and delivering justice... there are opportunities everywhere to support women and tackle abusive men.
Ordinary men in society commit acts of violence against women, and ordinary men watch on. Ordinary men make sexist miosgynistic comments, and ordinary men think that's as far it goes.
It is not. If anything, this case should teach you that.
Behind closed doors, behind the frontages of many ordinary looking men in society there are abusers, perpetrators of violent emotional, coercive, financial and physical acts against women. It's time to stop pretending the prevalence of male violence is small and stop saying good men are not part of the problem. If you're not part of solution, you're watching on. And what good is there in that?
I challenge every man to think about Gisèle's words from this case, and that of many other women's stories, and recognise there is a need to act and to do something in your lives. Don't make the mistake in thinking you don't have power, you do, you just don't realise it.
Guys, hindi porket mas maraming alam yung tao eh masama na sila. 2024 na smart-shaming pa rin? At hindi dahil may hindi ka alam, eh masamang tao ka na. We can learn and choose to enrich ourselves. People don't owe us lessons oftentimes, so we need to take the initiative ourselves
Daming galit kay OP, pero bakit hindi kasi alam ng nurse? Kesa magalit yung mga tao sa sistema dahil anong klaseng training at continuing education ang provided na hindi pa rin alam ng nurses natin ang PreP, condescending daw si OP.
@titosongerist Ang daming triggered and defensive sa replies mo no? Kahit na institutional ang problem. Kesa maging curious na sila din pala baka di nila alam yung PreP, nagalit pa na you highlighted a deep problem in all levels of education and continuing education.
@ilovedinoman To be honest, as a nurse who is actively practicing in the Healthcare industry, she should have known what prep is. The lack of knowledge is sad given na Healthcare worker na nga kausap. Not dissing the person, but the system that doesn't truly enrich it's professionals.
@kfuwsbds Registered, got my queue number and waited. Waiting game until they call you. You stand in front with about 5 other folks. You say your name, age, and height. They also asked us to share our experience sa acting. If they like you, they call your number and ask you to stay back.
I just came from the Cinemalaya auditions, and I am still floating. What a fucking experience. Ang saya pala nito. Crossing my fingers that I get to conspire with the Universe on this. 💜
