4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes.
Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on.
A Judge ruled she needs to file a worker’s comp claim. For rape.
They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth.
Elsie’s story must be told:

A convicted sexual predator in the White House. Accused sexual predators and abusers in the Cabinet of the U.S., Supreme Court, and both houses of Congress.
Women, children, and others who are preyed upon don't stand a chance.... UNLESS WE FORCE THE RECKONING!

Between “Rape of Lucretia” and “Rape of the Sabines”, starting to get the sense that #RapeCulture isn’t a new phenomenon.

"Rather than believe the women he had collaborated with, and so be forced to revise his image of the respectable men in his midst, [Freud] chose to maintain that respectability by refusing the validity of his own observations."

It is exactly like rape culture and I even said so to my MP in my last email after they told me to “get used to it”.
I agree with every word. Really like this YouTuber also. A great follow.

Friday, #Trump’s attys asked a federal appeals court to intervene & stay, or stop the disbursement of damages, until #SCOTUS decides whether to reconsider [even though they already declined the appeal]. His attys asked the appeals court to issue an injunction if the funds were disbursed & order the transfer of funds back to the court-controlled account while the appeal plays out.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/116852410027456561
Horror stories of dungeons, gratuitous murder, #RapeCulture etc… are disproportionately coming out of #Ohio. They have been for decades. Why?
Could it be related to the #history of the #OhioPen in Columbus (then in the Northwest Territory) warehousing the worst of the worst from all over the country during the ultra-violent days of the Wild West? Many of those abnormally violent criminals died in ‘the Pen’, but many were released to spread their #DNA. Does it contain a #DeplorableGene 🧬? 🤔

@gtconway3 And since #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump was a #ConvictedFelon *and* an #AdjudicatedRapist when he was *elected* to be #POTUS by Americans for the *second time*, the #UnitedStates endorses #Corruption and #RapeCulture.
These are uncomfortable facts, but we must deal with them. #Elections are mirrors on the electorate.

There's mention (but not description) of a violent rape in this one. Proceed with caution.
-----I just read a post by someone who doesn't want people to mention rape when they're discussing the lack of consent in opt-out technology. Which is going to make it pretty hard to connect lack of consent culture in tech to rape culture in general.
Let me be very clear, as someone who survived a violent and horrific rape, and other forms of sexual assault: rape culture is part of why my violent rape happened. Including specifically rape culture in tech.
When tech bros think that consent doesn't matter, more rape will happen. When consent is disregarded in any area, more rape will happen.
This is HOW rape culture works. This is WHY we need to talk about rape when we talk about consent, or the lack thereof, in other, less severe matters.
If you are having discussions about consent in technology and you are NOT referencing rape culture, I am skeptical of your analysis.
Because rape is the at the top of the rape culture pyramid; things like lack of consent in tech are closer to the ground. Rape culture supports rape. Silence supports rape culture.

Regular reminder to not use violent sexualized language to talk about toxic people.
Victims of sexualized violence, no matter their age, often blame themselves. That is a normal psychological reaction to traumatizing abuse. When you say "fuck nazis" you're basically telling women, men, non-binary grownups and children victimized:
"Yes its okay to use sexualized violence against bad people. They deserve it."
And that means:
"You must have deserved it too, which means you're as bad as a nazi."Show empathy to the victims by not normalizing the acts and language of the perpetrators.

If you want to be feminist living in our patriarchal systems, you have to practice. Try, mess up, try again, make it a habit to redirect your brain to not degrade women.
I see all the time how pervasive casual misogyny is in boys' culture, and how it's not one thing I say to my son that will shift that but a practice of questioning and prioritizing.
@onepict points are haunting and sear through the misogynist b.s. And it's not just that the men wiping their AI girlfriends' memories are being horror movie bros, it's that every man casually cussing out a femme AI voice for getting something wrong, mocking it in hundreds of youtube videos or watching those videos, yelling demands, is practicing misogyny. Making degrading women *more* of a habit, of a default, *more* of a trait of their own personality.
It's not that these practices are inherently bad because AI feelings matter, but that they push men deeper into the quicksand of sexist rape culture.

CW: RapeCulture, sexualisierte Gewalt
"[...] Ich verstehe, dass es Männer verunsichert, wenn Frauen Angst vor ihnen haben. Aber die Wut darüber sollte sich nicht gegen die Frauen richten, die die Angst benennen, sondern gegen die Männer, die dafür verantwortlich sind – und das sind sehr viele. [...]"

The Silence That Meets the Rape of #Palestinians
Male and female Palestinians describe brutal sexual abuse at the hands of #Israel’s prison guards, soldiers, settlers and interrogators.
By Nicholas Kristof
May 11, 2026"There is no evidence that Israeli leaders order rapes. But in recent years they have built a security apparatus where sexual violence has become, as a United Nations report put it last year, one of Israel’s 'standard operating procedures' and 'a major element in the ill treatment of Palestinians.' A report out last month, from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, a Geneva-based advocacy group often critical of Israel, concludes that Israel employs 'systematic sexual violence' that is 'widely practiced as part of an organized state policy.' "
