When I first got into all of this I, like everyone else, wanted to be kind. I was happy to use whatever language anyone wanted. Sure. Why not?
But then something changed. We call it βpeakingβ. For me it was a story about a womenβs r*p* shelter.

I couldnβt quite believe what I was seeing. People were angry at a shelter??? Huh? Then I discovered it was a particular group of men who were furious at the shelter for being for women.
Again. Huh????

This story started with a man who wanted to be volunteer and sit on the phones and listen to the womenβs stories. This shelter is well aware of that type and thus only accepts women volunteers. Itβs a shelter run by and for women only.
Who could complain? 3/

Well, that guy could. He sued to be allowed to volunteer there and lost.
Next entered this Morgane character. He was a part of the government. He threatened the shelter and ultimately they got funding taken away from them. Bc they were for woman only! 4/

I thought to myself, surely that is just one person. No one else would feel that way! Who would seriously object to a woman only r*p* shelter??
Turns out a whole lot of people. In fact, I got called all kinds of things bc I supported these women. 5/
