Yesterday marked the end of my 10-year plan.

10 years ago I was a single teenage mum who had just escaped rape & abuse with her tiny baby.

Yesterday I became Dr Jessica Eaton (PhD, FRSA), specialist in psychology of victim blaming of women - and my son is an amazing kid BTW...
My message to women and girls:

You are capable of things you haven’t even thought possible. Dream BIG, sisters. Ambitions and self-belief will take you anywhere - even if no one is opening doors for you.

Get a screwdriver out and jimmy them open. You can do anything.
My message to people who tried to attack me and thought I couldn’t do it bc I was some council estate nobody with thoughts above her station:

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don’t ever test me again tho
Now excuuuuuse me whilst I fly out to New Zealand to go deliver some speeches on the psychology of victim blaming, abuse and trauma.

What’s good?

Okay pal, I’ll indulge you. Here’s a thread about your questions and why my blog isn’t about women having to do something differently to stop the oppression of men.

Reason 1 - men are not globally oppressed

Reason 2 - women as a collective are not in power in the world
So yes, of course women can commit acts of violence, abuse, murder, child abuse, fraud - every single crime a man can commit (except rape in British law because that requires a penis)

So yes, we condemn the same acts if a woman commits them.
However, 97% of all violent crime is committed by men versus 3% committed by women.

1 in 3 women will be raped in the life span by a man versus 1 in 20 men

1 in 4 girls will be sexually abused or raped in their childhood versus 1 in 20 boys

ALL victims of FGM are female

sorry twitter but I am WAY too burned out today for any more shit. Ten years I’ve been doing my job in sexual violence work and we aren’t progressing. Anyone who tells you that are (a) misinformed or (b) lying.
Today is one of those days where I am ready to throw in the towel.
I’m SO TIRED of explaining to people why children are not to blame for rape, abuse or exploitation

I’m SO TIRED of explaining painstakingly that you cannot use education as an intervention to protect kids from rapists. Educating child abuse victims does not stop offenders.
I’m EXHUASTED from being constantly portrayed as the big bad evil bitch in this field for challenging something as simple as victim blaming.

We all talk shit, pat each other on the back and tell each other we are progressing but we aren’t.

You know what baffles me most about the great replication crisis in social sciences & psychology?

The fact that anyone with an IQ higher than a sandwich would even think that the results of a study from 1974 would be replicated on a population from 2018 using the same methods.
Psychology and social sciences to physics, biology and chemistry are what little brothers and sisters are to older siblings when they copy their clothes and words and mannerisms trying to impress them so they’ll accept them into their big friendship group to be cool.
I don’t know why we are so scared to own our discipline and argue that replication is highly unlikely in many studies because humans do not exist in a vacuum and things change. Context, society, language, norms, beliefs, attitudes all change. That will change the findings!

A thread on doing the #PhD you love regardless of what’s “trendy” or “canonical”. #phdchat
Mine was on J.R.R. #Tolkien, nearly 15 years ago. I had an amazing supervisor who was nearly taught philology by #Tolkien at Oxford (he missed him by a year!) My thesis became this book:
What got me thinking about this was this blog post by friend and #Tolkien scholar John D. Rateliff, best known from the 2-volume History of the Hobbit (an edition of all Hobbit manuscripts with notes): sacnoths.blogspot.com/2019/03/a-reme…
As you will see, back in the 1980s John was not allowed to do his #PhD on the emergence of fantasy as a literary genre (which would have focused on #Tolkien’s key role). The reason he was given was that it would be:

The Real Reason They Hate Nuclear Is Because It Means We Don't Need Renewables

My latest column for @Forbes — please share!
forbes.com/sites/michaels…
@Forbes 1. Why is it that, from the U.S. and Canada to Spain and France, it is progressives and socialists who say to care deeply about the climate, not conservative climate skeptics, who are seeking to shut down nuclear plants?

forbes.com/sites/michaels…
@Forbes 2. After all, the two greatest successes when it comes to nuclear energy are Sweden and France, two nations held up by democratic socialists for decades as models of the kind of societies they want.

Some few years ago, whilst conducting a research about traffic laws, I stumbled upon a blogger's extremely and vividly apt description of road users' attitude in the country. Just encountered it in my archives again and would love to share
Below are the observations of a foreigner residing in Jos, the capital city of Plateau State. Christie Winkler on her blog “Those Winklers” wrote:
1. Lanes are discretionary and surely one more car can fit – even if yours is going the opposite direction.
After all, every Nigerian driver knows to expect traffic from any direction at any given time. If there happens to be lines in the road, feel free to disregard them to turn, avoid potholes or get to your destination sooner.

1) WHY WOMEN KEEP SILENT

So, I was raped when I was about four. It never occurred to me to say anything until I was about eleven.
2) At four, I didn't know what the term rape meant; I knew what had been done and that it wasn't right but who would I tell?? I was ashamed.
3) I remember thinking I'd be mortified if my parents ever found out I'd been a "participant" in this lewd act. God forbid they found out.
