when presented with stats on the frequency of rape and other sex-based violence, you have three options

  1. come up with a conspiracy theory that explains hundreds of thousands of women lying for no gain whatsoever
  2. believe that men are naturally violent and predisposed to rape
  3. believe that we have created a “rape culture” and male socialization process that allows and facilitates violence against women

I don’t know how anyone could believe number 1 unless they believed women were conniving liars by nature

So sick and tired of having to explain to women who calls themselves “feminists” that porn and prostitution are violence against women. It’s facts, it’s not just my opinion. Everybody with common sense and humanity knows that what you call “sex work” is a nightmare for women. Especially for women of color, for poor women, for disabled women. It’s not a free choice. It’s not “fun” and “empowering” to be raped by strangers all day. It’s not “fun” to get STDs. To get pissed on. To be beaten on camera. To use drugs just so you can survive. To be called degrading names. Libfems don’t even listen to the women who survived the horrific abuse they endure in the sex industry. They just don’t care. They are not feminists at all. They pretend they do but they fucking don’t. Liberal “feminism” is absolutely toxic and useless. And they should be ashamed.

Sharing nude photos of current or ex-partners protected under First Amendment, court rules

facts-before-ideology:

Is distributing intimate photos of current or previous
sexual partners without their consent protected by the First Amendment? A
state appeals court says yes.

Now it will be up to the state attorney general’s office to defend the state’s “revenge porn” law, which was passed in 2015 and punishes those who post intimate images from previous or current relationships online.

The Tyler-based 12th Court of Appeals said the law is unconstitutional because it’s too broad and infringes on free speech, The Texas Tribune reported.

In
his findings in the case, Chief Justice James Worthen said the First
Amendment usually prohibits “content-based” restrictions.

The
court also said that the law was vague and infringed on the rights of
third parties who might unwittingly share intimate images, according to
the Associated Press.

“I
am disappointed to learn that a state appeals court has struck down
Texas’ “revenge porn” legislation that made it illegal to post intimate
photos on the internet without consent. This type of disgusting act must
be punished.” #txlege https://t.co/oLZP1UuIdC

In its ruling, the court ordered charges to be dropped
against Jordan Bartlett Jones, who challenged the law as
unconstitutional while awaiting trial for sharing a naked photograph of a
woman without her consent.

The ruling applies only to about a
dozen northeast Texas counties that fall under the jurisdiction of  the
12th Court of Appeals, but other courts would likely consider its
reasoning, the Tribune reported.

The law originated from complaints from women who said they felt
violated and abused when their exes posted naked or sexual images online
without their consent. One woman, Hollie Toups of Nederland, found
dozens of photos of herself online and organized a class action suit against the website where they appeared.

“I was kind of numb at first and when I scrolled to the
bottom it showed how many people had viewed it,” Toups told the  
Tribune. “I saw that it was thousands and with all these comments. They
were saying horrible things. That’s when I got scared and I felt
humiliated, knowing that as I was looking, so were thousands of other
people.”

The state law as currently written labels revenge porn a
misdemeanor that carries possible jail time of as much as a year as well
as a $4,000 fine.

If the state appeals, the case could wind up in front of the state Supreme Court.

Western leftists also have a hard time acknowledging the obvious racial motive in these rapes, because it goes against the party line in a myriad of ways. Those global majority men are clearly singling out white or at the very least western women in their actions, because they despise everything white or western. But you “can’t be racist against white people”, so what is it then? To say that this is just misogyny and not ethnic violence would be pretty myopic. Maybe privilege theory fucked up?

The ask before this used the phrase “white woman desirability privilege” and I have no doubt that that’s exactly how the discourse is going to go. A hundred bucks says somebody tells me to shut up because this is just white supremacy backfiring on white women before the night is up.

As an ex Muslim id still say it’s mostly misogyny. And even if it’s not it doesn’t disprove the “you can’t be racist against white” rhetoric because that is a US centric rhetoric, it’s not necessarily applied to Europe and definitely not Syria or Saudi Arabia.

Islamic men hate westernization and see non Muslim women as “whores” because they aren’t forced to stay at home and restrict their lives to men and have their marriages and lives dictated by men. I’d say these attacks are about putting women in their place to them.
