Reposted by Bill Allbritten, Ph.D.Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’m seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article. And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear: 81155542
Reposted by Bill Allbritten, Ph.D.Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If you’re a survivor who wants your rapist removed from whatever social institution introduced you, that’s an okay thing to want. A lot of other survivors want it too. And in a different timeline, there wouldn’t be so many people shaming you for saying it out loud. 114335
Reposted by Bill Allbritten, Ph.D.Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026That tactic gave quiet misogynists a “moral” reason to justify their public support of rapists at the expense of survivors. Once again, survivors who wanted their perpetrators gone were “vengeful” and “man haters.” But it was okay if the misogyny was directed at “white women.” 28214
Reposted by Bill Allbritten, Ph.D.Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026While we’re talking about campus sexual violence, I want to revisit the recent history of a topic where we have seen some of the biggest backslides: Expelling rapists from school. 328099
Reposted by Bill Allbritten, Ph.D.Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Today, there is still a lingering sense that expelling a rapist is a bridge too far. It’s hard to grapple with how far we’ve backslid since 2013. For a minute there, it really felt like there was widespread acceptance for the idea that schools should be safe. 19817
Reposted by Bill Allbritten, Ph.D.George The Station Cat @george-station-cat.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Sometimes all it takes is a change of perspective. Instead of saying, “I failed,” try saying, “I learned something I didn’t know before.” Not everything that goes wrong is a step backwards. Sometimes it’s simply a lesson that helps us take the next step forward. 231223140
Reposted by Bill Allbritten, Ph.D.Nicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I had a conversation a couple of years ago with a woman who went to an elite university thirty years ago. She told me about the pain of watching the men who raped her friends ascend to power and dismantle women’s rights. It was clarifying for me. Expulsion of rapists is harm reduction. 05910

Reposted by Bill Allbritten, Ph.D.Urvi @theurv.com · 28/09/2026There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally.
