  1. Queensland police scrap specialist unit providing support for domestic and family violence cases

    Change comes after 100-day review that found domestic violence case management was not ‘core’ police business

    The Queensland police service plans to disband a specialist unit that provided statewide support for domestic and family violence cases, prompting concern from frontline workers that the loss of an “important resource” would place women at greater risk.

  2. That awful feeling you get when you google someone whose opinion you value, only to see things like [person's name] controversy" and "[person's name] allegations"...

  3. The sentencing of the man, Jonathan Braun, who had a long history of #violence & in 2011 pleaded #guilty to #DrugTrafficking & #MoneyLaundering, demonstrates how #Trump’s handling of #pardons & #commutations has allowed some convicts to return to criminality.

  4. CW: shitpost + serious reminder

    "Fuck Columbus" is necrophilia.

    No, but seriously, please stop using language of sexualized violence to voice condemnation against people. We should be better than that.

  5. I'd like to exist for a day in social media without having to throw down academic resources to correct some man's ridiculous bullshit about rape statistics.

    Just a single day.

    * This toot brought to you by the man on YouTube who posted to talk about how he as a man has never had to share his location with friends to be safe, but women feel they have to do this all the time. Followed up with the statement "now, just because the world is safer now than it used to be, does that mean that women are relying on statistics? No, they're relying on experiences, and that's ok too".

  6. I made a post about predatory leftist men.

    A man commented on it, saying that "at least they're better than preachers".

    I responded telling him to delete the comment because it's fucking weird and gross to set up a hierarchy of sexual predators.

    Did he delete the comment? No.

    He blocked me.

    I just fucking can't with men today.

  7. I'm so tired of leftist content creators who are men being outed as fucking creeps.

    I don't deify content creators, or leftists, or other human beings at all for that matter.. but it's so disheartening that every fucking time I find someone who's content I enjoy and learn from, they end up leveraging their online popularity in predatory ways with young women followers.

    Be better.

    "Don't be a fucking predator" is a low fucking bar - why can't you all get over it??

  8. [🚫no men's comments🚫]

    The "She Matters" mural in Hosier Lane, Melbourne - a mural that names the women who have been killed in attacks of gendered violence, has been vandalised.

    The perpetrators painted "war on men" across the names and pictures of the women murdered.

    We can't even have our grief.

    I'm so tired of men.

  9. With all the (rightful!) vitriol surrounding the Space Flight today, please don't let the conversation ignore Amanda Nguyen (because the media certainly has..).

    Ms Nguyen went to Harvard and interned at Nasa twice. She conducted research on exoplanets for the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics.

    While she was a student at Harvard and interning with Nasa in 2013, she was raped. This paused her dream of becoming an astronaut and experiencing space travel. As a result of her strength and compassion in response to that attack, Ms Nguyen decided to leave Nasa and engage in activism work that challenged the narrative around victim-survivors, and ultimately she created Rise - a non-profit organisation which aims to protect the civil rights of sexual assault victims and rape survivors.

    In 2016, the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act passed through the Senate and the House of Reps, and was signed into law by Obama. The law protects, among other rights, the right to have the evidence of a rape kit preserved without charge for the duration of the statute of limitations, and the right to be notified before the destruction of evidence held in your case so you can apply for it to be kept and archived.

    Amanda Nguyen is a brilliant and amazing person who was able to experience a tiny edge of a dream she had given up on. Please be gentle with her story when (rightfully) protesting some of the other women involved.

  10. The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

    Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

  11. François #Bayrou is the current Prime Minister of #France.

    In 1996, violence was denounced in the elite catholic school of his constituency. He made an official visit as both the then Minister of National Education and a member of the National Assembly for a seat in Béarn (the province of the school). He told the regional press: "The people of Béarn felt these attacks with a sense of pain and a sense of injustice. […] All the checks were favourable and positive."

  12. Would you advise a loved one to report a sexual assault? It’s a question that exposes a failing justice system

    Ahead of an Australian government review into justice responses to sexual violence, our series asks why the system retraumatises victims and delivers poor outcomes

  13. ‘Why didn’t you tell anyone?’: the perceptions about ‘real rape’ that are so hard to shake

    Community attitudes and laws have changed when it comes to sexual assault and how victim-survivors behave. Yet rape myths still have power – both in and out of the courtroom

  14. Three women speak: the trauma, humiliation and shame of being a victim-survivor in the court system

    The Australia Law Reform Commission will soon report on its review into justice responses to sexual violence. Here are three first-hand accounts of what it’s like to seek justice

  15. ‘Rape is effectively decriminalised’: how did sexual assault become so easy to get away with?

    Few alleged offenders are found guilty. Many victims are retraumatised. What is getting in the way of the Australian criminal courts providing justice to sexual assault survivors?

  16. If you show the value of a victim, you feel empathy. This increases the desire for equality but you feel bad: it endangers your health.

    On the contrary, iIf you stress the mistake of a victim, you protect yourself: you feel like it should not happen to you. Society supports such detachment if the perpetrator is a white man or a police(wo)man.
    Blaming the victim justifies inequality, discriminations, violence by the strongest. It normalizes (adult, white, male or cis) privileges. Therefore it normalizes patriarchy and white supremacy.
