Egypt's sex assault accusations spotlight social stigmas

When dozens of Egyptians began posting accounts of sexual assault on social media last month, activists sensed a "#MeToo" moment in a nation where women have long felt disadvantaged.

“We are always told that we are the reason for all the wrongdoing happening to us ... whether it’s because of what you are wearing or the place you went to ...”

Cancel Ellen? The Backlash Against Ellen DeGeneres Is About More Than #MeToo

Over the past several weeks, Ellen DeGeneres has been criticized for employee complaints of sexual harassment on the set of her daytime television show. Are the attacks on one of America’s most popular talk show hosts about more than just #MeToo?

“Hey everybody – it’s Ellen. On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be a place of happiness – no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect. Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case,” DeGeneres wrote. “And for that, I am sorry. Anyone who knows me knows it’s the opposite of what I believe and what I hoped for our show.” ....

“Sorry but it comes from the top @TheEllenShow. Know more than one who were treated horribly by her. Common knowledge.”

I hate that so many women have to go through this.

[welcometothetripsestra]

trying to do the right thing is hard when you have big corporations trying to track you down and find out a leak try your best, but I have a right to remain anonymous and call out misconduct at a place where I have a job application, fuck your sexist attitudes, fuck your company, but most of all say no to boys who think their actions will not be held to account,

Protect our children

[note-a-bear]

I really do think that the whole sense of "any interaction with children is predatory" is what enables predators to win over kids so easily.

When you're young and no one ever shows you healthy intergenerational interactions outside of close family and/or authority figures (and kids are most often taught to simply obey and not question adults of [perceived] authority), any time someone in that position gives you positive attention becomes almost heroic. And it certainly becomes intoxicating, especially for ~weird~ kids with 'uncommon' interests, or kids who just simply don't get regularly indulged by adults in their lives.

Yes, we have to be aware of and mindful of how people who would prey on kids use being nice, or just listening, to kids. However, if kids don't know that they *can* challenge adults, or that there *are* ways adults can interact with and educate them that aren't simply rooted in authority, they'll have a harder time recognizing that an adult *isn't* behaving the right way.

Simply treating a child as if they're a being in your community, and a being with inherent worth, isn't predatory. That's just what being part of the world is.

Why else do you think they say it takes a village to raise a child?

[note-a-bear]

Tl;dr: the less we isolate children from positive, meaningful, age appropriate interactions with adults outside their immediate family unit the harder it is for predators to convince children that their attentions are healthy or permissible. AND the harder it becomes for those predators to isolate children from people who would intervene on their behalf.

Why Are People Obsessed With Florence Pugh And Zach Braff's Age Gap?

Florence Pugh has spoken out after people criticised the age gap in her relationship with Zach Braff, but why are people so obsessed?

Hurling abuse isn’t going to enlighten anyone about real issues of power imbalance, co-dependency and control.

FP: “On Monday, I posted a photo in honour of Zach's birthday and I wrote a birthday message underneath. Within about eight minutes of the photo being posted, I had about 70 percent of the comments hurling abuse and being horrid—basically bullying someone on my page.”
