Female rage is strong tonight. A woman has never laid her hands on me maliciously, a woman has never sexually assaulted me, a woman has never made me fear for my life. Men have done all three!!! And they walk away fine + try to spin it + make ME look bad? Fuck outta here
“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.
man almost runs me & my partner over, we obviously turn to face the car like “wtf”? then he has the audacity to beep at us and stick his middle finger up? I h*te men
I wish it wasn’t illegal and indeed punishable by death to tell an old best friend that you miss them all the time and will be sorry forever . But it is

btw the reason i stopped going to therapy is because after all those years, it got to the point where every session was just the therapists praising me for saying all the right things. zero new information, ever, no matter how many times i tried going to a different practitioner.
After Rachel Zegler hit the stage at Disney’s D23 fan event to introduce the first official trailer of “Snow White,” she thanked supporters effusively in an X post. One minute later, she added an afterthought in the same thread: “and always remember, free palestine.”
Many inside the studio expressed shock that the “Snow White” star would commingle the promotion of its $270 million tentpole with any kind of political statement. A Disney executive raised the studio’s concerns with Zegler’s team, while the film’s producer Marc Platt flew to New York to speak directly with her. But Zegler stood her ground, and the post remained. https://t.co/I8kyBBrciv
