"but we have it on tape- how can they still not believe her??? this is crazy!!!"
this is not about belief.
and they're not crazy, they're evil.
in their secret convos, they don't scratch their heads like detectives: they laugh like villians.
it's never been about whether or not people "believe women."
they believe women about what happened. they just don't think what happened is a problem.
they WANT a world in which men continue to treat women as objects with impunity.
it's what they WANT.

Do you know where most women die from choking? In the bathroom. We start to choke, then we leave the table so as not to disturb anyone. Then we die, alone, so that we don’t disturb the dining folks...

Thread: As we celebrate today, let us take time to appreciate & share the truth.
While this holiday purports to mark friendship among Indigenous peoples & Pilgrims in 1621, the truth is the U.S. government authorized over 1,500 wars, attacks & raids on Indigenous peoples 1/9
The truth is that our forced removals & land theft; biological warfare (intentionally distributing blankets contaminated with smallpox); and campaign of massacres amounted to genocide. 2/9
