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:

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”.

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

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.' "

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.

* 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". -
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.

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??

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.

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.

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)
