Otherwise Magnificent

its always insane to me how both sides of any conflict are okay with women being raped and beaten and tortured as a natural consequence. that either side will shrug it off and be like, well it was their fault for being property of the men and nations that attacked us. Even the most vile, awful, oppressive women in the world do not deserved to be raped. Whats so hard for people to understand that?

No matter how progressive people claim to be, many take pleasure in the fact that rape is a specific tool of violence and intimidation meant especially to humiliate victims, and people love seeing their enemies humiliated. The desire to hurt and punish overrides any claims of justice or moral qualms. I can’t say we can ask people to show restraint when it comes to something as politically and ideologically charged as this, but the bar is very low at least for not excusing rape apologia and they have still failed to clear it.

you can’t imagine the amount of vile racist shit that he’s getting because he said that rape & desecration is wrong.

he’s a lebanese journalist who has spent 15 years writing about IDF crimes against the palestinian people, and psychotic westerners are yelling at him for sticking to the moral stance that Atrocities Are Wrong

[broadlybrazen]

i’d also like to point out that people have overthrown their oppressors without rape & desecration. rape & desecration are not a requirement for liberation. (it’s also clear that some people don’t imagine that liberation also includes women.)

the genuine JOY over rape & murder that some folks have, the sheer glee with which they justify sexual violence as a legitimate political tool… and then to have the unbelievable gall to say that this is simply what liberation entails.

no. no it fucking does not. sexual violence has been used in conflicts since time immemorial, and some piece of shit has justified it since time immemorial. it has always been wrong; the justification has always been evil. kingdoms fall, nations rise, the political rhetoric changes, but nobody ever updates the justification: the bitch always deserved it, and her rape is always noble and righteous because her rapists said so.

some of you just really, really want to revel in brutality against women without being condemned for it. all of your supposed beliefs and ideals are just a smokescreen for that.

It fundamentally dehumanizes women to think rape is a legitimate political tool, because women’s bodies are basically seen as land or a resource to be conquered. Nothing more. With that video of the dead, raped woman paraded through the streets, half of the people cheering that on only see her body as a win for their political ideology—they don’t see that body as having belonged to a human being. The other half? Well, I think it’s like you said: they’re just celebrating complete brutality against women, because they like it.

Anyway, I said it yesterday but you’d be surprised how many enemies you make online by saying rape is always wrong, and civilian massacres are always wrong. A lot of people really, truly think rape and terrorism are acceptable as long as it’s against people they hate and/or carried out by people they support, and that’s such a twisted, dangerous path to go down. If someone doesn’t have “rape and civilian mass murder are always wrong” as their baseline, they cannot be trusted.

Mom can you come pick me up? Men on Twitter are saying that Hamas militants raping women, killing them, and desecrating their corpses is justified because the women are Israeli.

[dhaaruni]

I'm not even joking, men will just say with their chests out they think rape is justified and go full surprised Pikachu face that people push back

it’s literally evil for adults online to convince teenage girls that being an online sex worker is a normal part time job and a good way to make extra cash
