“Protect your daughters.”
NO.
Raise sons who intervene.
Raise sons who understand consent.
Raise sons who DO NOT protect their friends when their friends harm women.
The horror of the @Cornell rape story is almost too much to grapple with. A woman being gang raped for 7 hours, the rapists not being arrested and excused by the university and a group text issued to the fraternity to join the abominable crime and not one of the recipients of the text called the police.
If there is ever the evidence we needed of an utter display of moral rot this is it.
You’re only seeing the information about the Cornell 7 because the victim is suing.
Put that into perspective and get a lot angrier.
And this happened two years ago
I better not see a single fucking person say something like, "But they're young. They made a mistake. Don't ruin they're whole lives."
Fuck that shit!
They are predators. They ruined her whole life.

What's especially sick about the Cornell thing is that, speaking from experience doing IV ketamine for treatment, ket allows you to feel your body and have conscious thoughts but you cannot make your body move. That she was forced to endure seven hours of torture is beyond me, and will have to live with this for a lifetime, as traumatic memories are not integrated into normal memory but stored in active memory, so the limbic system experiences them as current when prompted, and the inescapable horror happens to her again as if no time has passed. This is why rape is so insidious, and is essentially a life sentence even if victims technically reach remission with years of hard work.
These men should perhaps be in prison for the time it takes her to get her PTSD into remission, which will take at least a decade or more at minimum... Though many never reach that level of recovery.
Raising boys who won't commit sexual assault is NOT enough. Raise them to be the man in the group chat who texts back: NO, stop this, and I'm calling the cops.
“WHY DON’T WOMEN REPORT?!”
Because a young woman was drugged and gang raped at a frat house by seven men who bragged about it and zero charges were filed.
He seems so genuine as he looks down and reads the script on the teleprompter that went through a PR team, promoter, Robert Kraft, legal team, shareholders, etc.
I almost wish Ed Sheeran didn’t take Macklemore out on tour at all. He took out his friend who he knew stood against genocide and didn’t back him up when the heat got hot.
That is so spectacularly shitty. You know who Macklemore is. You know what he stands for. If you’re not ready to stand with him when it matters, you were setting him up to hang out to dry before the tour even started.
The thing I don't get is that Macklemore has made his pro-Palestinian activism the center of his image over the past couple of years. Why on earth would Ed Sheeran invite him on tour, knowing all of this, if he was going to buckle as soon as he faced backlash? Cowardly.
