Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026One of the many frustrating things about intimate violence becoming viral discourse is the number of people who will confidently declare the area of study I’ve dedicated the last 8 years of my life to just doesn’t exist. That no feminist has seriously attempted to answer these questions before. 129948
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It’s simply not true that “no one has a good answer on what to do with rapists.” In fact, there is a depth of feminist scholarship on exactly this subject. It’s just that people won’t engage with it seriously since none of it says “nah you gotta be nice to the rapist cause that’s your buddy.” 6480139

Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And if someone isn’t my enemy (not abusive, not a reactionary) but has done things in relationship with me that hurt me and refuse to account for that in a way I need for closeness? I take them at their word, too. I figure out what I need and I either change the relationship or I leave it. 0724
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I prefer to take everyone at their word, to believe they are who they say they are and don’t have a secret, inner, “higher” self awaiting guidance. If someone reveals themself as my enemy I don’t try to convince them that they’re not. I work to undermine their ability to act from that position. 1766
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And this is exactly why I do not consider “accountability seeking” as a viable political project. It assumes, often patronizingly, that people just don’t know what they do or their interests or even what side they’re on until someone enlightened comes to gently show them “the way.” 1693
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026What I’m saying is that there are a diversity of tactics to address different kinds of harm *appropriate to their context.* Accountability is a practice we can develop in trusted relationships. It cannot be the tool for challenging our enemies. It should not be a tool used to control our friends. 1847
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026But I have also seen far, far too many instances of calls for “accountability” ultimately being leveraged to advance coercive control, usually of someone already socially marginalized. In viral online harassment campaigns, in intracommunity conflicts, and in abusive relationships. 1837
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026As a feminist anarchist, I *do* think there are contexts where mobilizing force and social coercion *is* appropriate, even necessary: contexts in which we are fighting our enemies. I’ve advocated for physical confrontation, icing abusers out of social functions, etc. 1894
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026“Accountability” is a personal practice and one I want to be able to ask for *and extend* in the close relationships of my life. Trying to “force” accountability is antithetical to that. I don’t use force and social coercion in my close relationships, certainly not when trying to find repair. 1904
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If someone is doing real damage and demonstrates a sustained lack of interest in accounting for it then, imo, the time for talking about “accountability” is over. Then it’s time for talking about how to best attack and undermine their power to do that damage. Changing their heart is not a factor. 219236
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I believe individuals can choose to assess the side they’ve taken, follow their curiosity, and allow that to change them. I think accountability is a personal practice, a vital one. You can ask someone to be accountable, but you can’t *make* anyone be accountable. It can only come from within. 112810
Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Seeking “accountability” as a political goal does not appeal to me. Not on a macro or a micro scale. I don’t take responsibility for changing hearts or minds. And, too often, it seems to run cover for certain styles of intimate coercion. When my enemies make themselves I take them at their word. 219029

Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It’s pretty disgusting to me how often I see “carceral logic” deployed in a self-serving way to avoid personal consequences.

Reposted by Eepy WelkinLee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Reminder that “carceral logic” is literally about state and medical *incarceration* in its various forms. It is NOT a shorthand for “any social consequences happening at all.” If a response doesn’t include involving organized authoritarian apparatuses and agents: it’s not carceral! 422264
