A german reality TV star was raped and now has to pay her rapists 24000€ indemnity because the judge decided that her accusations are false, even though the two men filmed the rape and the woman was screaming “No, stop it!”. Any evidence you’ll show is absolutely worthless, not even filmed evidence. They will always find a way to blame you and bail their fellow rapist brethren out.

Men hate women. And then they dare to ask us “why didn’t you report your rape?”.

Sorry it’s only in german, there’s also a video link to an interview with the woman and they show part of the rape video, it’s not graphic, but still.

Can we please stop talking about rape like it’s an accident?

“Most rape is not driven by an ignorance of what healthy, consensual sex looks like, but by sadism. And considering the severely gendered nature of this sexual crime, we must acknowledge that this sadism is generally a male phenomenon. We’re talking men hating women. Men wanting to own and dominate and punish women. When men rape women, it’s not an oopsie-daisy or a my-bad. When men rape women, it is a taking-of-pleasure in female pain. It is fear-mongering, it is woman-hating, it is a reminder to stay in your place.”

I feel this distinction is crucial and thus worth highlighting: the difference between healthy and unhealthy sexuality in this case is the difference between taking-of-pleasure in pleasure and the taking-of-pleasure in pain

Can we please stop talking about rape like it’s an accident?

deceiving someone for sex nullifies the consent they are putting forth bc the conditions of their consent are not actually being met so i dont think its funny to joke about lying to girls so they’ll put out because this is definitely a rape joke

antlerology:

Men and boys aren’t raped because they’re boys. It’s because they’re in vulnerable positions (in religious service where girls are banned, in the military, in social care, gay, trans, prisoners of war or victims of colonialism) and ignoring this ignores the ways that patriarchy, white supremacy and homophobia impact on men’s lives.

“If we accept prostitution as ordinary work, then we should be able to speak about what the skills of prostitution are….

The ability to control your reflex to vomit.
The ability to restrain your urge to cry.
The ability to imagine your current reality is not happening.

These are the skill sets of prostitution. These are the skill sets necessary to perform what some people would like to see normalized as ‘sex work’.”

From Paid For: My Journey Through Prostitution by Rachel Moran, p 224-225 (via smashesthep)

and all those things are what women are expected to withstand. never would men ever endorse an industry where they are treated like women are right now in prostitution.

men are the buyers for a reason.

(via landmerbabe)

Women are expected to do these things with boyfriends and husbands too. Men are scum

(via kristen-the-rageful)

‘Sex work’ isn’t work it is sexual abuse.

REBLOG THIS IF YOU WANT TUMBLR TO REMOVE ACCOUNTS TELLING MEN THAT IT’S OKAY TO RAPE WOMEN. 

Their guidelines forbid material promoting beastiality or necrophilia. How about some protection for live women as well? 

Because I tried reporting one particular account over a week ago, but @staff haven’t taken it seriously. This is not okay. Sites telling men that raping women is their right is far too dangerous to ignore. These need to be removed right away. 

This is a serious matter and staff should SERIOUSLY do something about it

Why are there not ALREADY guidelines about this? I mean seriously…

@staff

Seriously, @staff. Women have fewer rights than animals and corpses? FIX THIS.

@staff what is wrong with you

@staff

@staff @staff @staff are y’all blind? ignoring us on purpose?

WTF tumblr, remove those websites. Women are more important than animals, for fuck’s sake.

When porn has to move beyond physical degradation.

In our society, women with mental health issues and trauma are frequently sexualized because of the perceived vulnerability and powerlessness that we associate with mental illness(in women). The reality of course is different, which is that mental health problems and trauma are experienced in a multitude of ways.

In pornography–similar to youth–mental illness is sexualized and depicted as something that makes some easier to take advantage of and control. What is even more sinister is that mental illness is also used as something to further mock and degrade women. Think of the mental health issues that our society often associates with women–eating disorders, panic attacks… “daddy issues”–which is a disgusting term to begin with, but the way it’s sexualized is even worse. 

Below are a couple examples of the sexualized misery seen in porn. Porn is all about encouraging people to get off on the suffering of women.

Look at the way they depict “daddy issues” (stay tuned for rant about that term/concept)

  • Easier to take advantage of
  • Fun to ridicule
  • Not worthy of empathy (duh)
  • Vulnerable, low self-esteem=great opportunity for men
  • Needs men to feel worthy (as she should, right?)
  • Of course there is the added layer of sexualizing incest/abuse/child rape.

Anorexia

  • Thin/skinny is always better, no matter what the cost to her health is
  • Easy to dominate
  • Easy to coerce
  • A lot of homemade anorexic porn–a perfect example of why even homemade porn is terrible. Can you imagine what people do to convince a young woman with anorexia that porn is a good idea?
  • New level of degradation: call them fat, since of course that will make them feel worse.
  • Encourage other girls to be anorexic “as a joke”

Mental breakdowns/Panic attacks

I have been naive to think that if people actually saw these women getting upset during a shoot, then porn users might have more empathy.

  • Porn star breakdowns have become a genre of their own
  • They are categorized as bloopers. We’re supposed to look at their pain and find it funny
  • In a decent world, people would see someone having a breakdown, and it would cause them to feel some empathy. The porn industry has just turned it into another aspect of “entertainment”

When degrading someone physically isn’t enough, this is what the industry turns to. There will never be anything that makes people think that these women are worthy of compassion. In fact, they make it so people will be entertained and even turned on by women’s misery.

The whole genre is basically saying: look at how miserable these women are. Isn’t that funny? Isn’t that sexy?

Please tell me more about what a happy and empowering place the porn industry is.

This shit has got to go.

Andrea Dworkin said “that incest is the boot camp for pornography” pornographers just keep proving her right.

Pornographers are releasing footage showing that the women in porn are in distress, that they are being abused and that it causing them psychological damage. This should be more than enough to bring charges against them on multiple accounts but that won’t happen because men hate women and they own the law. 

The pornographers and male performers are raping these women and making the footage available to the public and profiting from it. They are rapists, abusers and torturers who spread the footage of their violent sexual crimes to humiliate and devastate the women they abuse and rape, to promote hatred against women and encourage men to act out on women.

rockplusbird:

For all those people demonizing Emma Sulcowicz because she apparently talked to her rapist after he assaulted her: did you know after I was raped on a first date I went on two more dates with the man who raped me? And he assaulted me each time? Do you have any idea what rape victims do in order to normalize the trauma we endure? I am disgusted at the people who I’m sure profess to support rape victims but turn on us so easily. All it takes is a single smear piece and all our credibility goes out the window. But keep pretending you support women. We see you.
