Happy Sunday to the #HireSurvivorsHollywood Community! We’ve decided to use Sundays to highlight #survivors and #SilenceBreakers and the wonderful work they're doing!
Today we’re celebrating Amber Heard (#AmberHeard)!
Today we’re celebrating Amber Heard (#AmberHeard)!
#AmberHeard is a bisexual actress, activist, survivor, and Silence Breaker. In 2015, she filed a restraining order against her ex-husband Johnny Depp after surviving abuse from him.
She was later sued by him after publishing an article for the Washington Post in which she discussed sexual violence, domestic abuse, and how institutions protect male abusers.
#性的同意年齢 今は13歳以上との性行為が合法であっても、社会は時代の要請に応え倫理をアップデートし、それを法に反映する努力をしなくてはならないと思う。だからその前段として「いくら百年以上前の法律で合法であっても法律上の”児童”と性行為に及ぶ成人は鬼畜」という集団認識を社会が持たねば。
#SexualConsent "Even if it is now legal to have sex with persons 13 years of age or older, society must update its ethics in response to the demands of the times and make efforts to reflect this in the law." 1/
"As a first step, society must have a collective awareness that adults who engage in sexual acts with legal "children" are animals, no matter how legal the law was more than a hundred years ago. (which is a reality in Japan. the under-ages sex law is more than 110 years old)" /2
I will not support these orgs like Amnesty, UN Women & NOW that claim to speak for us but have #DroppedWomen from their focus. This #InternationalWomensDay I will celebrate those who stand up and fight back! List to follow. >>
> But first I celebrate my mother, one of a kind. She bore me -- along with so many burdens. She gave me life & she gave me tennis lessons when I was in awe of @Martina & just coming out. She eventually accepted my #lesbian life & she died very too young. I miss her. #IWD2020 >
> There are too many women to thank here. Maybe I'll add to this thread all year. Because I appreciate women every single day. We're all fighters. We're all amazing. With respect, #WomenOfTheYear @selina_todd @MForstater @jk_rowling @sueevansprotect @BluskyeAllison @Mason134211f
THREAD: @NYMag's latest on the #WeinsteinTrial says the defense is attempting to discredit the survivors with 50+ pages of rape myths and logical fallacies - the same used to deny & justify male sexual aggression against women for decades.

As described by @Irin, the defense in the #HarveyWeinstein powerpoint boils down to two things:
1. "*Her behavior* afterward shows she was fine."
2. "My *otherwise* good behavior shows I couldn't have done it."
1. "*Her behavior* afterward shows she was fine."
2. "My *otherwise* good behavior shows I couldn't have done it."
There is not one response to rape, assault, or trauma, or one classic victim. To suggest that there is or should be perpetuates rape myths that blame women & minimizing the real harm caused by rape.

I've been so fortunate this year to get to know so many of the incredible women known as silence breakers, and I want to talk to my journalist friends as the year anniversary approaches. (A thread.)
When I wrote my piece for @BuzzFeed about my experience as a Weinstein intern and my early awareness of the casting couch, I never expected that I would gain such support and friendship from women who have suffered so much and remain so strong. You guys, they're incredible.
And all of these incredible women (and men!) have been working hard this year. A year of hardship and more trauma and tragedy, but a year where headway has been made, no matter how obscured by the continued fight. But this is what I want you to know:
