wrathofprawn:

for those not in the know, night witches were russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of german lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge.

their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.

how the fuck is this not taught in every single history class ever

I’m reblogging this again. Always reblogging. Always

And the Nazis called them “Night Witches” because you couldn’t fucking hear them.  They basically appeared out of the night as if they were flying on brooms and dropped bombs.

I don’t care how many times I see this I will always reblog it

[princesslilitu-deactivated20130]

you ever thought that maybe the reason girls say they’re fine when they’re not, or they’re not mad when they are, is because the second they show any semblance of emotion they’re written off as hysterical bitches that are probably on their period?

How to recover an unsaved draft on Microsoft Word

 This literally saved my ass a few minutes ago. Yes, you can recover those files that you accidentally closed and thought you couldnt get back. 

Right after that happens, open Microsoft Word again and click File - Info - Manage Versions - Recover Unsaved Documents.

It is literally that simple.

[asrielsarchive]

it genuinely baffles me that men don’t want women in positions of power because “they’re slaves to their hormones/emotions” and yet one of the first lines of defence when it comes to rape cases tends to be “it’s hardly his fault look at what she was wearing how could we expect him to control himself”

[love-and-bdsm]

Gee, it’s almost as if misogyny isn’t based in logic.

[gospel-panacea-deactivated20180]

Thus, the logic of the feminist argument to “Teach men not to rape” is revealed.

[stfueverything-deactivated20230]

Yes because it’s such a radical notion to expect rapists to control themselves.

[rainfelt]

Uh, we do tell thieves not to rob, though. We actually spend a lot of energy teaching kids that stealing is wrong. We keep trying to teach them it’s wrong through their teens and adult years.

And when someone gets robbed? Cops don’t ask them if their front door was locked. They don’t ask them if they invited the thief into their house and maybe said the thief was free to take things before changing their mind the next day. And this is true even though sometimes people do get robbed by folks they invite in under false pretenses.

Cops and lawyers and judges don’t work together to make people who get robbed feel like shit for not installing extra security systems or putting bars on their windows. They don’t use people’s former history of inviting neighbors in and letting them borrow stuff to argue that they had no right to expect someone to respect their property. The media doesn’t talk about how the thief’s promising life was ruined by their victim’s decision to prosecute.

Your metaphor is bad and you should feel bad.

Friendly reminder that just because more pornstars are coming forward to accuse James Deen of rape doesn’t mean it’s more likely that he did it. It’s also possible that they believed Stoya outright and decided to add stories to the mix in order to make sure his reputation would be ruined. It wouldn’t be the first time feminists have done that.

Besides, if there are so many women who were apparently raped by him, how come none of them said anything until now? If it was supposedly “known” that he was doing this, how did you all justify staying silent and letting him keep abusing more women?

[misandrimon]

Sounds like every Bill Cosby defender. And then when he said he fucking did it y'all went silent. Pathetic.

[in-all-conscience-deactivated20]

It’s almost as if the principle of “innocent until proven guilty” doesn’t change just because Bill Cosby was guilty.

[lycaneous]

Honestly. If a woman gets raped they can just tell the police. Just like that. Men can’t do that. Women can’t. This doesn’t excuse him as a possible rapist but my god if you were raped tell the police you will most likely win the court case whether the defendant was innocent or not.

[tk-tako]

No? That is not how it happens???? What the fuckk?????????

When someone goes to the police to report a rape they go through intense questioning, which many women complain that in most cases officers use this questioning to blame them for their own rape, then they need to do a rape-kit, which is very intrusive, then they need to charge their rapists and stand against them in trial, you are disgusting and “ how did you all justify staying silent and letting him keep abusing more women?” ? Thats how rape culture works bud

[lycaneous]

I never said that last part that was someone else. I’m just saying, if you got raped, report it to the police. It’s your best chance at getting a fucking criminal off the streets and women usually win rape cases. So do it and hopefully get that discussing rapist off our streets— no one wants them in society. What’s wrong with any of that. I’m literally telling women to report rape when it happens.

[socialjusticesummoner]

WOMEN DO NOT USUALLY WIN RAPE CASES WHAT THE FUCK

[lycaneous]

You know what I’m not even going to try to argue. It’s not worth my time and I’m not worth your time.

[socialjusticesummoner]

you’re right, you’re not worth my time

but the real reason you’re dropping it is because you now realize you’ve pulled that out of your ass. you know you’re wrong. you really thought female rape victims have it so easy, that they can get justice so easily. I bet you even tried to google a source and couldn’t find shit to back it up (because you fucking made it up). you need to stop trying to pass shit like this off as fact because you’re only making it harder for rape victims

https://rainn.org/news-room/97-of-every-100-rapists-receive-no-punishment

Literally 97% of rapists walk free. but apparently reporting it to police, going through an intense and traumatizing questioning and rape kits, possibly losing friends and family and getting smeared by their community (God, did these assholes forget about the Staubenville case???) to only find out that 97 out of 100 times your rapist will walk free anyways is totally better guys. /s

[proudly-pro-choice]

Well thank you @lycaneous you just fixed all the worlds problems involving rape culture. I was thirteen when I told the police and my rapist still walked free. Not to mention the more than a half a dozen girls that reported him. You’ve got to be fucking with me.

Can people who aren’t rape victims shut the fuck up? You have no idea what we go through and to make a comment like “Just tell the police everyone believes you!!!!” is just fucking naive and ignorant.

https://rainn.org/get-information/statistics/punishing-rapists

If the rape is reported to police, there is a 50.8% chance that an arrest will be made.

If an arrest is made, there is an 80% chance of prosecution.

If there is a prosecution, there is a 58% chance of a felony conviction.

If there is a felony conviction, there is a 69% chance the convict will spend time in jail.

So, even in the 39% of attacks that are reported to police, there is only a 16.3% chance the rapist will end up in prison.

http://www.publicintegrity.org/2010/02/24/4360/lack-consequences-sexual-assault

At college campuses, perpetrators who are found responsible for sexual assault are permanently expelled only 10-25% of the time. 75-90% of the time, they’re subjected to punishments like reprimands, counseling, or community service.
