I wish for warmth, but you’re so cold...
Sapphire tears can’t melt a heart of gold.
You expect me to bloom,
Yet only praise me when I’m wilting?
My perception of this world is tilting...

Prime example of how austerity kills. So short-sighted. They saved between one and two million a year doing this but have now poisoned a whole generation of children who will be cognitively impaired, prone to aggression, etc. That’s going to be very expensive to deal with. Apparently the American towns with the highest concentration of lead in their water are all predominantly black communities. Capitalism and white supremacy united to destroy lives.
i think it’s funny how men use myths of female inadequacy to cover for their own shortcomings.
like how women are supposed to be horrible drivers, when four out of five serious or fatal crashes in new york are caused by male drivers and research shows that young men (18-24) have a tendency to take high risks, over-evaluate their driving skill and disrespect the rules.
or how “women are stupid”, especially with regards to the debate of the wage gap, where men often claim that women earn less because they are less capable, when there are more women studying in higher educations, women are less likely to drop out of higher educations and are more likely to end up with a better degree than men.
or how men claim that women talk too much, when research shows that men talk 65% of the time within the family and are more likely to talk in long monologues, whereas women more often offer commentary. Men also are more likely to interrupt; in fact, during a political debate, the former (female) minister of state in denmark was criticized in the media and made fun of for interrupting the current (male) minister of state too often - study found that he had interrupted her 28 times, whereas she only interrupted him 13 times.
or literally uncountable other scenarios. the truth is, male pride today is so inflated and builds on so many lies that it would be laughable - hadn’t it been for the fact that these things affect women’s lives every day. these jokes mean that white women earn 78 cents to a white man’s dollar. they mean that women can be ridiculed even for the things they haven’t done. they mean that women, as a gender, are assigned less worth even in the fields where they succeed. they mean that women, as a gender, are devalued and disrespected in every aspect of their professional and private lives.
It’s funny how people are so deadset on proving that women are evil that when they look at the evidence that men commit the vast majority of violent crime, they come up with some bullshit like “but women are more PSYCHOLOGICALLY abusive” which has been debunked by research so many times. This whole “women are evil” BS isn’t even new, either. Hello, Adam and Eve & Pandora’s Box, anyone? Women have literally been blamed for all the world’s problems for millenia.
The Different Stages of Recovery from Sexual Abuse/Assault
No one has formerly outlined this before, but I’ve been at this for over 20 yrs and a see these repetitive stages or breakthroughs that happen.
When survivors disagree about advice, it’s often because what is appropriate at one level is absolutely necessary in other levels.
ADMITTING TO YOUR SELF you were sexually abused.
We are all groomed from birth to accept male domination and fault for causing their negative side. This leads us to believe we deserved the assault(s) and/or we are blaming eve. This cognitive dissonance (imbalance betw heart, mind & body) causes us to act out in anger, addictions & we are told repetitively we are at fault for our actions, never relating it to the original traumas because they are so numerous we become numb. RECOVERY: We decide to become a feminist & label patriarchy.
ADMITTING TO A TRUSTED PERSON
This again gets blocked by internal shaming depending on how much grooming you already received. Realize that with all sexual abuse, the abuser uses emotional abuse to direct threats of death. This is why? If you tell me about the grooming, I now there’s verifiable sexual abuse or the grooming wouldn’t exist. Grooming proves your brain is struggling and therefore the abuse did happen even if you don’t remember it.
But you have to be very careful who you disclosure to because if sexual abuse in systemic in your family everyone will turn on you to keep the secret. This includes your own mother, siblings, even religious figures & teachers if they feel dealing with the abuser is harder than simply discounting you.
This step requires you to solidify you convictions that you are a victim but it also requires you to identify who will be a friend or foe and finding out who is a foe can be even more damaging then the sexual abuse; realizing the reality of who “really” loves you can be devastating.
You also can not trust just any therapist just because they’re degreed; you must find an therapist who specializes in sexual assault. When they go to school, they get the entire field from ADHD to DID and one week on sexual assault. Our traumas have not been studied and not deemed high priority in teaching for years. RECOVERY: call a sexual assault center and get a therapist who interned there to get their degree.
NOW COMES SEEKING JUSTICE
To seek public justice, socially, civil, criminal, you have to be at the point you are not afraid to claim your name and victim status. This is the stage I say is similar to coming out gay. How you choose to do this can range from social shaming, videos, Bill Cosby method to filing Title IX or a police report.
Problem is? you need to be prepared & strong enough to deal with what was first the patriarchy push back to keep silent within your self, then within your personal family friends to know every Tom Dick & Harry out there who believes they know the truth. This is why I would have your support network solidified before you take this step.
This is where I am absolutely against the trend patriarchy has of not revealing the victim’s name. Patriarchy put this in place which in my opinion only deepens the shame. It teaches you that if everyone found out you were raped it would destroy your life. Isn’t this victim-shaming? They label it as protecting her identity but how will she every shake the internal self-hared until she has pride in her survivor status. If your not ready to tell the world you are a rape victim, I would not seek public social justice because when you don’t get support the scars to your self-esteem will be deadly. If you were stabbed, would you feel the need to keep you name secret?
At each one of these stages you will receive huge resistance to keep the issue quiet and status quo. You’re a liar. You wanted it. It was consequential.
Please don’t believe the BS that all you need to do is come forward and the truth will make things right and justice.
No, it just starts your battle against the rape culture. First within yourself, then within your family/friends, then within society and popular opinion.
It can destroy your family relationships and while you must do this get rid of that anger, if your not prepared and strong enough in your self-esteem you can easily dip into suicidal depression and that’s why sexual assault survivors have such a high rate of suicide either directly or indirectly/slower from addictions from drugs to food.
Cop Accused Of Raping a Girl At the Gunpoint Was Justified
A Boynton Beach police officer was just found not guilty after he offered a stranded 20-year-old girl a ride home and was accused of bringing her to an empty field and brutally raping her at gunpoint.
Officer Stephen Maiorino, 35, was charged with armed sexual battery, armed kidnapping and unlawful compensation or reward for official behavior last year after police discovered his disgusting actions on the night of October 15.
The victim, a 20-year-old woman, was left stranded downtown after a friend she was riding with was arrested on DUI charges. According to the police report, Maiorino offered the young woman a ride to the station so she could wait for someone to pick her up.
At this point, a waking nightmare began for the young woman in Maiorino’s car. Maiorino did drive her to the police station, but when she tried to get out of the car, he grabbed her and told her that if she didn’t perform oral sex on him, he would arrest her, according to the police report.
Obviously fearful of this psycho cop, she agreed, and the officer drove off 20 blocks north of the department, which is located near the intersection of Seacrest and Boynton Beach boulevards, to an abandoned field.
Maiorino then held the young woman at gunpoint and forced her to strip naked. He then forced her to the hood of his car and raped her, according to the report. She said she was facedown, held in place on the hood with his right hand. During the assault, she told police, she looked back at her attacker and saw the gun in his left hand.
Investigators found the condom Maiorino used to allegedly rape the woman in the field the next day.
According to the report, when Maiorino was finished raping the woman, he told her that if she told anyone, he would kill her and her family.
On Tuesday, the cries of the alleged victim, his 21-year-old accuser, filled the courtroom as the words “not guilty” were read out loud.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, she wailed, “No! No!” before her dad held her as she stumbled out the door. She screamed and cried out, “Why?” before being helped onto an elevator.
The defense’s case was that this hero veteran police officer messed up and had consensual sex while on duty last October.
Maiorino never had to take the stand.
His entire case was based on building him up while breaking down and discrediting the young woman. The defense claimed that the woman only fabricated this story as to later attempt to get money from the department.
Unlike Maiorino, the woman did take the stand. “That would make me the most evil human being in the whole world,” she said, calling the allegations a fabrication “a disgusting thing to do to ruin someone’s whole life.”
The defense went on to say that the young woman craved sex on the patrol car “perhaps to be cool.”
They used a photo of her in high school posing on the hood of a car in a “strikingly similar position” as proof that she was lying about the rape.
Despite their entire case relying on defaming a young woman, the jury sided with the cop — likely for obvious reasons.
The original article adds some more facts about rapists in uniform.
That’s incredible. Photo of a girl posing on the hood of a car can justify a rapist in future. Girl’s words meant less for trial than Maiorino’s silence (he haven’t to take the stand). This is police officer’s privilege – the uniform makes him look safe or at least he can order you to anything because you have to cooperate with police – there were many cases when cops were justified even after murders when the victim didn’t listen for cop’s orders. So police can afford all kinds of bad crimes legally. That’s unbelievable.

Men like Evo-Psych because (despite an abundance of theories on the evolution of social groups) it basically comes down to this: As far as evolution is concerned, the only criteria that matters is the reproduction of the species. By definition, this is a lens that allows them to reduce women and their value to the role of sexual reproduction. Since this is how/why patriarchy was invented, it fits so nicely into their rhetoric. It’s not that they are misogynist for focusing on women as sexual objects, it’s just science. This allows them to ignore the fact that the use of this framework is a choice.
i always fucking HATE evolutionary psychology because it justifies men raping and murdering women and its fucking gross as hell
