    Judge declares a #mistrial in #HarveyWeinstein’s #rape retrial after jury says it is deadlocked

  11. I have founded a group for abuse survivors (of past or present abuse) and those who question whether they were or are experiencing or witnessing abuse or coercive control or undue influence or someone is using power over them and retaliating against them when they don't "behave".

    I myself survived childhood sexual abuse, incest, abuse by a cult, my therapist, psychiatry nurses, sibling, friends, queerplatonic partner/girlfriend, roommate and harrassment from a nazi neighbor plus landlords. I kinda got a bad start to life (in germany) and then people tended to make it worse instead of helping me or they took advantage of me.

    So I learned a lot about what does and doesn't help!

    And I want to help you out, whether you went through something you fear no one will believe or be able to stomach hearing about, or you think it was probably nothing and you overreact. You don't overreact! Nothing is too small to be worth talking about.

    I'm making a space to have a warm, supportive, good vibes atmosphere that we co-create together. We'll help each other grow and see through confusions and distortions of the truth and gain more agency, to make choices, decisions and do stuff and have an impact on the world.

    We'll also have fun and laugh and cry and eat cookies and discover what it's like to argue with someone who doesn't slice you to ribbons emotionally.

    Anyone is welcome regardless of age, gender, ability, neurotype, location or background. I just ask that you help make the group a good space, be that by complaining when everyone else is too polite to say anything or by listening or by sharing. Please don't worry that by joining you'll take up too much space or take resources away from someone who might need them more — you ARE our space and our resources!

    The first step is, once we have at least a handful of people, to decide when and how often to meet.
    I use @delta delta chat for its privacy and because it works with spotty internet and very little tech knowledge. It works on desktop and mobile. You can download the app from google's or apple's appstore or FDroid or their website delta.chat (watch me not get the preview to work)
    It was super easy to make an account and didn't require anything other than a username - no phone number or email address (or password).

    DM me for an invite, which is a link that you click to join the group. The group is invite only to keep out spam and abusers.

    Please boost and share this post, including on other sites or however it works for you, or by talking about it and linking here.

  12. 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)

    women: "you're not getting it. The bear vs man debate isn't about who would win in a physical conflict, it's about which one is more likely to hurt a woman in the first place"

    men: "NO - U - DON'T GET IT, DUMB BITCH, THERES NO WAY YOU COULD PHYSICALLY FEND OFF A BEAR AS EASILY AS YOU COULD A HUMAN MALE" 🤦‍♀️

  14. I am so happy to arrive here!
    I have migrated from various bigger servers of #microblogging. Phew.

    I was born and raised in France, moved to #GreaterParis. So i will give a few hints on the country in English: #merit #respectability #rapeCulture #coloniality #stateRacism #universalism. Come to #France2024! 😒 <snark>
    (Much more can be found "en français" at @[email protected]: #patriarcat #cultureDuViol #fragilité #islamophobie #colonialité #décoloniale #FranceIsraël #racismeDÉtat #paniqueMorale #guerreCulturelle.)
    I am a white male person working on my fellow condition: #patriarchy #fragility #entitlement #whiteness @supremacy.

    I do consulting on #naturalWine and you may find #joyful wine at my #search engine: frenchscout.com/natural-wines?
    I am in my fifties. So i will discuss #militancy and #MoralBeauty. I mean: #feelGood is a primary fuel for our actions and our opponents behaviours. I will illustrate with #resources, easy #sociology, #photos of #protests. So follow #ActionPics for upcoming threads.

    #France was and is a leader in harnessing outside land, energy and labour. (Second to English cultures.) So i have a few hints on #islamophobia #counterTerrorism #israelism #StandWithIsrael @military.

  15. “Anti-grooming” Texas Republican resigns after plying teen with alcohol &amp; allegedly raping her. The married "anti-grooming" crusader allegedly gave the teen so many rum and cokes that a state committee found she couldn't consent.
