Puede que estés cansado, pero nunca estarás
tan cansado como un gato doméstico
que durmió 18 horas, comió tres veces,
miró por la ventana durante cinco minutos
y decidió que era hora de otra siesta.
Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
True story!
You can’t call abortion “playing God” while using chemo, insulin, C-sections, IVF, and Viagra.
You’re not against medicine.
You’re against women choosing it.
A woman is most likely to be abused or killed by her partner when she’s pregnant or trying to flee:
This bill will legalize men murdering their pregnant partners.
All they need to do is say they were trying to stop an abortion.
Femicide written into law.
Fed to pigs. Alive. After being beaten and raped.
She was 17.
And somewhere a man is already typing about how not all men are like this.
All women are afraid of men. Every single one of us. And stories like this are exactly why.
Sometimes male anger at ‘women getting special treatment’ reminds me of a gorilla experiment. One gorilla gets a banana every hour. The females next to him get one every four hours. Then someone decides to be fairer and gives the females a banana every two hours instead. The original gorilla? He flips out. He's still getting his banana every hour, but it feels like a loss because his advantage shrank. That's how a lot of men react to basic fairness for women: not as justice, but as theft.
Between Iraq changing the age of consent from 18 to 9, conservatives in the US tweeting "YOUR BODY, MY CHOICE", one of Gisele Pelicot's abusers justifying his behaviour by saying "I thought she was dead" and women in Sudan taking their own lives to avoid being r@ped by paramilitary fighters... If you still can't grasp just how many men hate women, you're not listening.
Biggest scam ever: apartments charging pet fees but not kid fees. My cat just chills on a blanket all day, while I can literally hear kids banging on the walls.
