“And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior,” Mamdani said. “And we are thankful for them coming forward, the courage and the bravery it takes, but just to provide New Yorkers with that context.”
In 2024 New York instituted a new law that, per the NYPost, "classifies rape as nonconsensual or forcibly compelled sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct after previously defining rape as only nonconsensual or forcibly compelled vaginal penetration by a penis."
So... New York (rightly!) expanded the definition of what counts as rape. More survivors (thankfully!) came forward. As a result, official rates of rape increased. So Mamdani was... right and everyone is just yelling about this in bad faith?
Calling people against your surveillance company “anti-fascists” isn’t the best look for you or the country you work with… but thanks for saying the quiet part out loud, I guess
men will gloat about how “uncomplicated” and surface level their friendships with other men are — “we don’t talk about feelings”, “we don’t know each others middle names”, “women are so dramatic in their friendships and care about such stupid things” — and then get online and cry when they have no community and no one who cares about them.
women have community because they foster it. they invest in genuine connections. they develop emotional intelligence. they showcase empathy. they don’t allow selfishness to rule their lives. men should try it instead of playing victim in self-inflicted circumstances (per usual).
lindsey graham was a warmongering psychopath who devoted his life to ensuring the murder of as many brown children as possible. we deserve an opposition party that prioritizes that aspect of his legacy over the fact that they were travel buddies
What exactly are they supposed to do with a car permit when leaving the house costs a hundred dollars to do basically anything, and every place is relatively hostile towards kids/teens and doesn't want them there. Gas is crazy expensive now too, the cards are stacked against them
ICE has shot and killed yet another man, this time a 26-year-old Colombian in Maine who was not the target of their investigation.
This comes after they killed a Mexican man, who was also not the target of their operation, in Houston last week.

feminism is not a movement to embolden men into assertiveness, acting without hesitation, or taking initiative. feminism is about liberating women and girls from patriarchal oppressions.
feminism has not failed you because you can’t get a date or find a competent man, as it was never its goal. please start frequenting your local dive bar, make a tinder account, or simply initiate conversations with men yourself, and leave feminism out of it.
…well who did it then? the woman proved that every detailed event occurred. her needing the tampon surgically removed because of how brutally she was raped, we’ve record of. you were found liable in court based on evidence. so… is the claim now that you were framed? or is “nuh uh” the argument here?
“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.”
