We – and by we, I mean, white feminists – need to talk about how Dylann Storm Roof, the Charleston terrorist, used white female purity to justify murdering black people. 

“I have to do it,” he said. “You rape our women.” 

This myth – that black men rape and assault white women – has been used to justify the murder of black people for centuries. It was used to justify lynchings. It was used to justify slavery. It is still used today.  

And white feminists absolutely NEED TO REPUDIATE this myth, because white women’s tacit approval – and sometimes vocal agreement – with this myth is part of what allows this terrorism to happen. 

People like Dylann Storm believe white women need to be protected from black men. 

We don’t. 

I stand in solidarity with the black community, not with people like Dylann Storm. He does not speak for me. 

(100% inspired LaKeyma Pennyamon’s facebook post asking why white women haven’t already done this. Thank you.) 

White feminists/women need to refute the racist, rape myths that are applied to black man. I am a white woman and I don’t want racist concern trolls pretending to care about rape to justify hatred towards black people.

Roof’s victims were disproportionately black women. His ‘concern’ for the safety white women is clearly not extended to black women. White women are not more worthy of protection than women of other races. It is opportunistic for racists to use rape as a pretense to commit terrorist attacks (or attacks of any kind) on black people. Especially seeing as the majority of attacks on women are committed by men of the same race. Rapists, abusers and other violent men tend to attack women and girls who are closer in proximity to them. This is not to say interracial sexual violence does not happen. What I am saying is that white men are white women’s biggest threat not black men.

Believing in white female purity is not about protecting white women. White female purity ideology is tied to thinking women are vessels for men for furthering their bloodlines. It is thinly veiled racial purity rhetoric. The racist mythology of black men routinely raping white women not only makes excuses for violence against black men but obscures white men’s sexual violence. This is convenient for white people because it hides our race’s crimes and transfers it to black men. It is a sleight of hand and needs to named for what it is.

In conclusion that Dylann Storm Roof can die for all I care. The world does need any more murderous white supremacists.

Fifty porn films later and over a year in the porn industry, Danielle Williams endured the physical pain of on-set pornographic violence, drug abuse and suicidal thoughts due to the accumulation of the emotional pain of the sexual and physical abuse she had experienced growing up on top of her situation in the industry. Working with the Pink Cross Foundation, she shares her experiences as a stripper, prostitute and porn performer in the sex industry and what it (unfortunately) cost her.

Members of a U.N. peacekeeping mission
engaged in “transactional sex” with more than 225 Haitian women who said
they needed to do so to obtain things like food and medication, a sign
that sexual exploitation remains significantly underreported in such
missions, according to a new report obtained by The Associated Press.

Another reason the U.N. sucks

This is horrible. But the UN in general doesn’t suck tbh. It’s done so much more good than bad, but I agree that there’s often little action taken by the UN and I get the feeling that they assume that their forces are wo fault because they come from all member nations so it’s like they’re ‘neutral’ or whatever. Like do they not realise that their troops are committing war crimes. They need to monitor their soldiers better because this is a disgrace.

I feel the UN doesn’t do much. They usually intervene after the problem has gotten out of hand. This isn’t the first time I have heard of the UN or another ‘peacekeeping‘ force doing something like this. ‘Transactional sex‘ is a euphemism for coercive rape I don’t like how the media obscures what happened.

Someone screencaptured this and sent me a link.

This is on par with the other gross sexual things trans women said about radical feminist women.

These guys have literally massive hate boners. Fucking gross.

That is rape. They’re awful.

Look at that male socialization 

men are fucking disgusting.

What he is describing sounds like something a sexual predator and/or a serial killer would do. Offering a lift to a woman who does not have other options but only for a sexual favour is coercive rape. The fact he thought of this as punishment for radfems and thinks it is sexy and would like to make porn like that is sick. He would be using women who are not radfems so he is using women who have nothing to with us to play out his sexual revenge fantasy against radfems (’terfs’). 

Also those ‘tricked’ gay porn scenes have a rape narrative (even if they know what is going on). If it is real and a man in porn is tricked/coerced into sex with another man that is rape.

The first image is Thea Wellband, who plays the teenage rape victim in Unwatchable.

The second image is Rose, nine years old, who was raped so violently her hips are permanently damaged.

Hey, here’s a good idea.

YOU DON’T NEED TO THROW ONE GROUP OF RAPE VICTIMS UNDER THE BUS TO BRING UP ANOTHER.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WESTERN WOMEN ARE RAPED AND JACK SHIT IS DONE ABOUT IT? YOU COULD’VE JUST HAD THE BOTTOM PICTURE OF THE GIRL WITH CAPTIONS OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HER INSTEAD OF MAKING HER “OPPONENT” LITERALLY ANOTHER RAPE VICTIM.

JUST. STOP.

What is Sexual Coercion?

If someone makes you feel obligated or forced to do something you don’t want to, you may be experiencing coercion. By definition, sexual coercion is “the act of using pressure, alcohol or drugs, or force to have sexual contact with someone against his or her will” and includes “persistent attempts to have sexual contact with someone who has already refused.”

Think of sexual coercion as a spectrum or a range. It can vary from someone verbally egging you on to someone actually forcing you to have contact with them. It can be verbal and emotional, in the form of statements that make you feel pressure, guilt or shame. You can also be made to feel forced through more subtle actions. For example, your partner might:

  • Make you feel like you owe them — for example, because you’re in a relationship, because you’ve had sex before, because they spent money on you or bought you a gift, because you go home with them
  • Give you compliments that sound extreme or insincere as an attempt to get you to agree to something
  • Badger you, yell at you, or hold you down
  • Give you drugs and alcohol to loosen up your inhibitions
  • Play on the fact that you’re in a relationship, saying things such as: “Sex is the way to prove your love for me” or “If I don’t get sex from you I’ll get it somewhere else”
  • React negatively (with sadness, anger or resentment) if you say no or don’t immediately agree to something
  • Continue to pressure you after you say no
  • Make you feel threatened or afraid of what might happen if you say no
  • Try to normalize their sexual expectations — for example, “I need it, I’m a guy.”

In a relationship where sexual coercion is occurring, there is a lack of consent, and the coercive partner doesn’t respect the boundaries or wishes of the other.

I don’t usually share stuff like this but since its happened to me with a close friend who just badgered me until I eventually gave in and it bothers me all the time I figure maybe I can help some one else even if its just figuring out whats happening

-offers you a lot of gifts and rewards to persuade you into sleeping with them
-PAYS YOU MONEY TO OBTAIN YOUR CONSENT
