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.

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". -
+the guide that the writer has never actually supported a victim-survivor of image-based abuse. I can tell because I have supported victims over more than a decade.
Why write it without having any real-world experience or credentials? This is a disservice to victim-survivors and those who support them.
Bonus question: Why does this sh*t get funded when I get rejections because of "many, competing high-quality applications?"
Fin.

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??

CW: Image-based abuse, sexual abuse, hidden cameras
Similar incidents happened last year in a cafe in Bengaluru and a university in Andhra Pradesh. And these are just the ones that made it to media reports and police records.

Josseli Barnica is one of at least two #pregnant Texas #women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.

#Femicide: Why some want term added to #Canada’s Criminal Code https://bit.ly/4efkiPl
“It’s important to name it, and the name is #femicide. Naming it does a lot of things: It makes it visible, it gives us the opportunity to create data around what’s happening, it’s palatable for parents and makes them better understand that what happened was not their fault.”

CW: Rape, image-based abuse
Tilt the balance of shame and it shows who the real culprit is. The location of shame is the toppling point, the litmus test of rape culture -- something I've written about in my work on image-based abuse (IBA). https://factordaily.com/the-crying-shame-of-image-based-abuse/
#IBA is a symptom and consequence of rape culture.
