Great time to remind everyone that Sean Penn beat Madonna with a baseball bat, broke into her house, tied her to a chair and beat her for hours, left to buy booze, came back & beat her some more and she even filed a police report & he was charged but he made her drop the charges
Me: going through a hard breakup, moving house, speaking out about famous sexual predators and supporting the other women he preyed on, going to bed late, drinking, eating like shit, working 3 jobs -
“Why am I so tired all the time, there must be something wrong with me”
Their support is such a good example of how rape culture works: People are happy to oppose sexual assault when it's an abstract concept, but if it means holding an individual you like accountable - all bets are off
@TheLawrenceArms@badsandwich some of this behaviour occurred on your 2005 tour in Australia with #antiflag - are you going to speak out? The survivors need your voices.
@Mainliner@hannee92@TheLawrenceArms@badsandwich I’m not going to continue speaking to someone who has no interest in listening / learning from victims of abuse, and with “no cops or condoms” as their bio. Bye!
@Mainliner@hannee92@TheLawrenceArms@badsandwich Yr missing the point entirely. It’s up to everyone to create a safer scene. I’m not saying they saw something, I’m saying they toured with JS when I was abused and the right thing to do would be to publicly denounce him. And you didn’t reply to my invitation to become an ally?
@Mainliner@hannee92@TheLawrenceArms@badsandwich You’re acting as though me tweeting is worse than 13+ women being sexually assaulted - I’ve already told you what I’d like them to say. I’d also love for you to share the RS story and become an advocate for stopping the abuse of women by men in the music industry, you down?
@Mainliner@hannee92@TheLawrenceArms@badsandwich No one is being slammed. I’ve asked if they are willing to speak out against Justin, acknowledge the behaviour, amplify the story, and keep an eye out for it in the future. It’s up to them if they do or not. Really has nothing to do with you.
@Mainliner@hannee92@TheLawrenceArms@badsandwich Who is “going after” them? I’m just asking a band who toured as a co headline on the tour I was a victim of predatory behaviour, to maybe - just maybe - put their voice behind supporting survivors of sexual abuse that occurred at the hands of their tour mate.
