“Will women always die? Let some men die too,” Dogan told police. “I killed him for my honor.”

Since it was not included in the article, I thought I would provide a rough translation of her historical defense on court;

“When men wear suits and look down they get their sentences lowered; I dont have a suit, my mom barely managed to find this shirt for me. I won’t lie, there is also the joy of being able to survive that i can’t conceal. I’ve walked the corridors of these courthouses countless times, my face covered in bruises, for a restraining order. I didn’t have any other choice. If he hadn’t died, I was going to. He wasn’t going to tell you he had decided to pimp me out, he wasn’t going to talk about his plans of putting me in the arms of other men, he wasn’t going to tell you about the beatings I endured just because the eggplants were slightly overcooked, because the curtains were dirty, because there were leftover crumbs on the table. He wasn’t going to mention how many times I was hospitalized. There is a picture of me taken in the teahouse. I’ve smiled a bit lopsidedly. Maybe he was going to show you that picture and tell you I looked like a dishonorable woman. He was going to tell you he ‘cleansed my honor’ as if he wasn’t planning to pimp me out. You were going to sentence him to 3-5 years and pardon him because i had dishonored him and see my lopsided smile as provocation and feel sad for him. However, honor is mine Mr. Judge, I won’t leave it to anyone else just because I signed a paper.”

her name is Çilem Doğan and she was sentenced to 15 years for this. the court initially wanted to give her life imprisonment. she was released on bail in june 2016 and has since become a symbol for the movement against femicide and violence against women in Turkey.

why is academia,,,,, like that

ironinkpen

hot take: if the only people who can understand your writing are a select few pretentious jerkoffs like yourself, maybe the problem isn’t that you’re just too fucking smart to communicate to the uneducated masses. maybe you’re like. a bad writer lol

ironinkpen

like uhhh not be controversial but if the point of academic writing is to share information and 75% of your readers have no fucking clue what you’re saying around that thesaurus you’re deepthroating then uhhh maybe you’re a shit academic and also a lot less intelligent than you think you are. just a concept

carthix

I don’t remember the name but there was a case where a woman sued her ex for sharing the nudes she send him and she won because she consented to send him the nudes, not to public them anywhere.

mrevaunit42

If I remember the post correctly you can sue people who leak them due to the fact while there was consent to send them, there was not consent for distribution. So sue away!

sea-anon

Yeah it’s called revenge porn and it’s a class 4 penalty punishable by 1-3 years of prison and a fine up to 25,000

If this happens to you don’t keep quiet about it. It’s not shameful to be a victim.

biofomission

Revenge porn is a crime, know your rights

Capitalism will put the bill on your grave and harass your grieving family until they pay

theludicrousrival

One of my cousins passed away unexpectedly at the age of 35, and had been paying back a loan from the bank. About two weeks after his death, my great aunt received a statement from the bank (his mail was being delivered to her house) about a late payment. She called the bank and explained the situation and the only thing a manager could say was “Well, that’s unfortunate. We can arrange so payments will resume in 30 days, that should be enough time to have already paid for the other arrangements.”

On top of the unexpected $10,000 funeral, cremation and burial bill, my aunt had to finish paying my uncle’s $5,000 loan. She’s a disabled retiree, on a fixed income, and could barely afford to pay for her insulin for diabetes. She nearly lost her home of more than 40 years. Fuck the system.

She didn’t need to pay. When people die, their debts are not their family’s responsibility.

In fact, it is outright illegal to try and collect those debts from a person who didn’t cosign the loan and isn’t executing the will.

Who is responsible for paying off the debts of your deceased relatives?

Here’s a link to the detail on that one.

Banks count on people not knowing that last comment so that they can still get money

niniblack

They really do.

My great-grandmother had her identity stolen before she died at the age of 93, and thousands of charges were racked up on credit cards in her name. After she passed away, they called my mother to try and collect. My mom laughed at them, and told them: “She’s dead, good luck collecting.” The credit card asked my mother, “Don’t you want to clear your grandmother’s debts? Don’t you want to clear her good name?” My mom laughed at them again. “No,” she said. “Because a 90 year old wasn’t watching porn with those credit cards, and her name is fine. Don’t give credit cards to old women likely to pass away soon. This is on you.”

Which is how I learned as a young child to always question collection agents, and to never pay off debts that aren’t your own. They often can’t even collect that money from the estate, if there is one, depending on how you write your will and what kind of account the money was kept in.

nephrastar

DO NOT EVER PAY OFF DEBTS THAT AREN’T YOUR OWN.

If a loved one of yours dies and bill collectors (credit cards, loans, etc etc) start calling you off the hook and request that you pay off their debts, tell them in no uncertain terms to go fuck themselves.

The reason being is that the moment you give them a single penny, that debt is now on YOU because you’ve now agreed to pay it off.

Do not agree to pay off their debt. Do not pass go, do not give them $200.

thefingerfuckingfemalefury

Boosting this to let people know that if any of these greedy little dog-fuckers start harassing them to pay off a relatives debt the correct thing to do is just tell them to piss off and not pay them a single thing

And that there is NOTHING they can do if you do this

jadelyn

Never, ever, EVER pay so much as a single cent on a debt owed by someone who’s passed away. You make even a single payment and that’s considered you accepting responsibility for the debt, and they can then legally expect you to repay the whole thing.

They’re like vampires - they can’t collect unless you let them in. Don’t invite them in.
