Furthermore: Fight Song by Rachel Platton always gets me AMPED TF UP. Will people screengrab this to make fun of me and shit on my basic bitch tweets? V likely, yes. But if doing Phil Collins style air drums as it builds up to the final chorus is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Seriously listen to that song on full blast and try to tell me you don’t want to chase your dreams after. You can’t. Because it’s impossible.
That song will make you want to call up someone who bullied you in elementary school just to be like what now bitch how’s it feel to have peaked in a starter jacket
This has become a pump up song appreciation thread. We need this, because it's just the night for it, and jock jams is not gonna fucking cut it. What songs get you fired up? What are you listening to before doing battle/on the treadmill?
In fairness, treadmill = doing battle.

A lot of men get angry in conversations about the prevalence of and accountability for sexual assault, misogyny, and the objectification and oppression of women, and it always looks alot like white people getting mad in conversations about racism.
We want to create distance between ourselves and things we know are wrong. We become uncomfortable when that distance is questioned because we know our hands aren’t clean. We know there are times we could have done more, or better, and we dont want to admit we benefitted from it.
The important question is, what are you going to do with that discomfort? Because shouting down women or people of color isn’t creating the distance you tell yourself exists. Stop trying to create distance between you and harm to others and start contributing to the solution.

A few years ago, on Xmas Eve, I tweeted a simple thought experiment. I never imagined the volume or intensity of response it would generate, but it was clear that it had illuminated a discussion worth having. Revisiting it each Dec 24th has become something of a tradition. [1]
Having done this a few times now, I'd like to include some useful context:

1. A thought experiment is a hypothetical scenario that enables theoretical examination of the consequences or result of a particular variable - it's not a call to action. So please, settle down sirs. [2]
2. The exercise is intended to examine the ways disparate gendered experiences affect the lives of women. It is absolutely not intended to suggest that women are not simultaneously affected by other types of harm, or that women don't harm one another. We do. Not immaterially. [3]

99.46% of US rapists get away with it. (0.54% are incarcerated).

Data varies, but various studies have showed as few as 2% and as many as 10% of reported assaults are false accusations. The most commonly cited rate is 3-5%

There's a couple of important points in play here /1
First, statistically, false accusations only occur if an accusation is made and documented, generally in the form of a police report.

But we also know that only 23% of rapes are reported, so the FA rate is a percentage of that number, not the total. (check study methodology) /2
So in a sample representing circumstances existing per every 1000 occurrences of rape, we know that appx 230 rapes are reported, and 2-10% of those reports contain a false accusation -- BUT, it's not 2-10% of 1000, its 2-10% of 230.

So, 5-23 f reports; not 20-100 f reports. /3

Just now, South Carolina Senate Debate —

“Does a woman have a right to choose in this country?”

Jamie Harrison: Yes she does

Lindsey Graham: I am the chairman of the judiciary committee and we will be confirming Judge Amy Barrett to the Supreme Court
Lindsey Graham is objectively TERRIBLE in this debate. Like it’s stunning. Turn on CSPAN and watch for yourself.
People will literally vote for this bumbling, sweaty mess of Fox News highlights just so they can control the bodies and lives of women.

The right is going to gaslight you about Trump’s Proud Boys comment.

1) He misspoke
2) He was entrapped
3) You misunderstood
4) You are lying
5) You are delusional
6) You are delusional and defamatory

But this is important. Don’t let it go. Don’t normalize it. Say instead:
1) His reply was clear and in context
2) The question contained the correct response
3) No I did not
4) No I am not
5) I know what I heard, saw, and can easily re-hear and re-watch
6) A defamatory statement is a lie intended to damage character. Bad facts are not defamation.
Ye Olde, “It was just a joke”

1) Any reasonable person can see that he was not being sarcastic

2) Trump is literally never actually sarcastic, ever

3) Not at all an appropriate topic for sarcasm, and if he were, it would be condescending and dismissive

4) I don’t believe you
