"...at least 5 undercover officers deceived women into sexual relationships in these early operations, and there was evidence that the unit’s managers knew about the deception. “There is also evidence that the risk of sexual misconduct was both obvious and recognised.
More could and should have been done to reduce the risk of sexual misconduct by the undercover officers.”

...At least 15 other undercover officers deceived women into intimate relationships that occurred between the 1980s and 2010, including fathering children with them.
The undercover unit compiled the information gathered about activists into “extensive and deeply personal” reports that were “on many occasions sarcastic, or otherwise unprofessional...
The attitudes betrayed by the language used in reports are significant. There is sexism. There is racism. There are many examples. Such reporting was known to managers and accepted because they signed off the reports.”
Barr said the need to gather information about political groups such as feminists and anti-racism campaigners “was not an adequate justification for the intrusion caused” by the long-term covert operations."

As of July 2022, only 7 states have banned underage marriages, with no exceptions.

The 10 states with the highest per-capita rates of child marriage are:
Nevada
Idaho
Arkansas
Kentucky
Oklahoma
Wyoming
Utah
Alabama
West Virginia
Mississippi
60,000 marriages since 2000 occurred at an age or spousal age difference that should have been considered a sex crime

In about 88% of those, the marriage license became a “get out of jail free” card for a would-be rapist under state law but ok if married
In the other 12% of those marriages, the state sent a child home to be raped. The marriage was legal under state law, but sex within the marriage was a crime.

I've recently been asked privately by more than 1 person about my block of OC, calling into question whether I overreacted or not.

I stand by my reasons as an advocate and as a survivor myself.
Idc if he makes sad face emojis and tells the world he's blocked.

Sometimes someone unintended gets caught up in autoblockers used. I fix those when I realize what has happened.

In this case though, the block was and is intentional.
