I cannot believe I am about to say this. I really cannot. TW: rape culture, Bill Cosby
It is APPALLING to see this discourse around Bill Cosby. How dare any of you suggest that this man should walk free because other white rapists do?
Bill Cosby is a rapist. I understand that our justice system is flawed and is weighted against black people, but this just ain’t it. He deserves to go to prison.
And so does every white rapist in this country. Black liberation does not mean that Black people should not go to prison for crimes they commit. It means that we all will be treated equally in a justice system that reflects our societal expectations.
Black liberation cannot be accomplished if we do not protect survivors by putting away their assaulters.
Bill Cosby deserves to go to prison.
Kavanaugh should go to prison.
Weinstein will hopefully be sentenced to prison.
We need to dismantle rape culture. We cannot continue to retraumatize survivors with this discourse.

TW (DEPRESSION / PTSD / Mental illness in general):

So I gonna make myself vulnerable for a minute and talk about depression and how it affects how we feel and how we think we feel. And it's something despite being pretty obvious is always under the surface.
Depression makes you feel a lot of things. It makes you lose interest in things you were interested in. It makes you feel alone and isolated. It makes you feel stuck and unable to move. There are so many feels associated with depression that it's hard to articulate them all.
And these things affect your life immediately. You are unable to perform routine tasks. Your work starts to suffer. If you are in school, you never want to check your grades. You become distant from family and friends. You don't want to leave home. It *is* debilitating.

[cn tw: sexual assault]

I want to talk about the language we use around sexual assault survivors, sexual assault allegations, and how for a lot of the discourse we’re actively masking the underlying process.
[cn tw: sexual assault]

There’s a context in which “I believe survivors” and “believe survivors” is important. But it’s important because of the conversation that came before, it’s important because of the stage we have already set.
[cn tw: sexual assault]

Sexual assault is not like alien abductions or magic or Santa Claus. It’s not so outrageous a concept as to require belief or disbelief. It exists and statistically it can happen to anyone. It’s probable. The issue isn’t belief, not really.

Fun fact you learn after working in ag for a while: family farms run by a man who's really into conservatism, rape culture, racism, and hating women are *the most likely to fail.*
There appear to be lots of reasons for this.

#1, running any business takes a basic level of empathy. You have to put yourself in customer's shoes enough to figure out what they want & give it to them.

Rape culture & racism teach you how to NOT put yourself in ppl's shoes.
#2, to run a business successfully you also have to be able to put yourself in your employees', contractors', etc shoes to figure out how to engage them successfully to get the result you want.

Again: hard to do that when your mentality is shaped by ... hating other people.

We joke about our Big Antifa Daddy Soros cuz it's absurd a billionaire would fund a bunch of anarchists. But Trump's mention of "Soros" is less about the actual man, and more a stand-in for the anti-Semitic "globalist" narrative, with it's "JeWz ConTroL tHe WoRLd" bullshit.
Trump's familiarity w/ Soros as anti-Semitic signaling at least started with Sebastian Gorka, his former advisor, who is tied to multiple anti-Semitic Far Right parties in Hungary, and who wears a medal from the Nazi-linked Vitezi Rend group, who were Nazi collaborators.
Another former advisor, Steve Bannon, probably also helped familiarize Trump with Soros. As former executive chairman of Breitbart News, he heavily promoted Soros as some shadowy figure behind liberal projects, an idea seized and promoted by Eastern European Far Right parties.

This bullshit's been going around quite a bit this week.

I'm going to take it apart now.

Remember: we’d do well to understand that conservative worry over false accusation is a statement, not about truth, but about power.
First, though, let's look at the toxicity of the pitch.

Who should be afraid? Well mothers, of course. We aren't trying to protect *boys.* We're trying to protect *mothers.* This is a *women's* issue.

How scary for women, living in a world where women are believed, how scary.
Next, who is the danger? Why, girls, of course.

What girls? ANY. ANY girls. At ANY time.

Any girls, of course, but mothers.

Which mothers?

Why, the mothers that matter most.

The mothers of boys.
