"In its published statistics and those shared with the city council, the NYPD still does not count forced oral or anal sex as a rape, no matter the victim's gender, according to a Newsy investigation."

BIG scoop from @newsy: newsy.com/stories/nypd-u…
.@Newsy got these records after their parent company sued the NYPD.

Their records request (which NYPD initially denied) was part of our collaborative "Case Cleared" project with them and @propublica. Read that investigation here: revealnews.org/article/rape-s…
We found that across the U.S., police departments may be pumping up their reported rape clearance rates through a process known as "exceptional clearance."

1/ For this week's episode, we sent reporters to the *literal* ends of the earth to report on climate change.

Here's what they saw ... revealnews.org/episodes/to-th…

1/ Last summer, people outraged by Trump’s family separation policy pressed local officials to end their immigrant detention contracts.

One CA community made a different choice. The reason? Supporters said they were doing it for the good of the children. revealnews.org/article/how-ja…
2/ Yolo County, near Sacramento, is one of two places where the federal government holds migrant kids in jail-like detention centers.

The other, in Virginia, has been accused of strapping children to chairs and locking them in seclusion as punishment.
3/ Yolo County officials say their facility is better. But in court, kids have said the detention center is still “a jail,” “a horrible place,” and that they “feel desperate” inside. sfchronicle.com/nation/article…

NEW INVESTIGATION from our Rehab Reporting Network:

In North Carolina, our partners at @WFAE looked into a treatment facility that sends residents to work for free ... stocking liquor. wfae.org/post/these-reh…
@WFAE “One time, couple of cases broke and it was on the truck,” a resident told reporter @alexolgin. “I had to take a breather, just getting back on and smelling all that liquor. Now, liquor wasn’t necessarily my thing, but still was just overwhelming.”
@WFAE @Alexolgin This story is that latest to come from our Rehab Reporting Network.

In years investigating rehabs that force residents to work for free, @shoeshine and @amyjharris got dozens of tips.

They couldn't report every one, so we invited local journos to help. revealnews.org/local/reveal-r…

⁉️Ever heard of "technical virginity?"

ℹ️Simply put: it's when adolescents, teenagers or young adults don't want to "lose their virginity" (so they obviously believe the definition of virginity=breaking the woman's hymen), but other than vaginal sex—anything goes.
That means you can have oral or anal sex and still remain a "technical virgin."

📉According to this article published in 2007, 10% of adolescent girls & 15% of adolescent boys are "technical virgins." By the time this same group reaches 20-24 years old, this number drops to 4%.
⁉️Why, you ask?

😇In order to avoid "sinful" behavior and "stay pure."

⛪️Abstinence pledgers are more likely to be "technical virgins." In the abstinence pledgers group, 13% of pledgers are "technical virgins" among 18-25 year olds.

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?

Spartan's women's cults were public--the Spartan state's emphasis on public life required it. So they were open admission, and unusually well-attended.

They tended to celebrate the health, beauty, and fertility of the Spartan women--all things the Spartan state boasted of. 2/?
Spartan women had their own, women-only cults, celebrating the Greek goddesses we all know. During the celebrations women sang, danced, raced,
feasted, dedicated votive offerings, drove chariots in processions, and wove
clothing for cult images of the gods. HOWEVER-- 3/?
Spartan women weren't Athenian women. Spartan women grew up educated & trained in athletics. Spartan women were the marvel of the classical world, a bunch of tall blonde Amazons. So when Spartan women celebrated, it was w/a lot more racing & athletics & a lot less weaving. 4/?

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.
