My hard line is calling women misogynistic slurs is always misogyny. Using slurs as they were intended is just using slurs to enforce dehumanization.

I have an Australian friend who calls EVERYTHING cunts, but mostly men & inanimate objects. I could overlook something like that but nearly every time someone gets defensive about their right to call women misogynistic slurs, a quick search shows they only use it towards women they hate.

They'll rage that it's gender neutral, reclaimed, blah blah blah, to demand their right to continue to dehumanize women without judgment.

It is in fact closing loopholes that allow men to rape via drugging or coercion. Rape apologists know this which is why they created those loopholes.

1143

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

And not only does this enable men raping women, this minimization facilitates raping children as most child rapists use coercion as a tactic, not direct force. Telling child rape victims they weren't raped if not violently forced hurts those victims.

Like this man who claims to be a lawyer, who also doxxed who he thinks is the victim, pushing rape culture hoping to restrict rape to scary strangers holding guns to force themselves on victims, which excludes most rapes. This is a deliberate carve-out to protect most rapists.

1113

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

When our laws have carved out exceptions for raping wives/partners, drugged people, children, those are loopholes that exist because our culture/men in power demanded them.

1104

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

We know this is true because men continue to admit their entitlement in studies. They'll give lip service to condemn the hypothetical rapist, especially if he belongs to a group they do not, but they reserve the right to define rape so as to exclude most rapes.

1114

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

What we've seen with recent defenses of rapists is confirmation that we live in a rape culture that does not in fact think rape is all that bad & men should absolutely not face any consequences. Or lose access to their ability to rape.

Depp/Heard will be remembered as a historic loss alongside electing Trump & the rise of MAGA, as well as Kavanaugh/Ford. Just as we look back on Clinton/Lewinsky, Thomas/Hill, & the repercussions such failures of culture & policy meant for women.

0122

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

Important to note losses as much as historic wins. Particularly since there's so much gaslighting to minimize & justify these losses. Depp/Heard was a major setback for victims as it emboldened predators to use the courts & PR firms, who enlist bot farms, to terrorize victims.

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

These are the kinds of men (misogynists, pro-rape) literally cheering an accusation of sodomy, lovingly referred to as uno reverse, bc they just so deeply agonize over the suffering of abused men. Note the last because suddenly reporting rape isn't fun & rewarding, as they claim when women do it.

170

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

Also note that the people pushing this malicious bullshit aren't scolding any of the 57 for being bad friends & not rescuing their rapist bros from their isolated, incapacitated victim. Also note rape enthusiasts actually love false accusations.

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

So if you're currently raging about the Cornell rapists but support Depp's "mutual abuse" nonsense, you're aligned with the disingenuous rape enthusiasts pushing similar absurdity about another rape victim.

171

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

They know it's absurd but they also know it works. It worked for Depp, who convinced a lot of groupies that beating & raping his young wife was okay because there was "mutual abuse" (a thing that doesn't exist). Depp & his accomplices gave predators a successful playbook.

161

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

Seen several people make the connection between the response to the Cornell rapists & the Depp/Heard trial & wanted to highlight how rape enthusiasts are currently running the DARVO that the gang rape victim raped her rapists. This is the fruit of the "mutual abuse" tree.

1183

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

It's not unintentional that men defending the Cornell gang rapists keep calling the victim a slut or whore. It's no surprise the man who murdered his wife spoke with his affair partner like this about their victim.

Also how many more times will we hear men using misogynistic slurs as they perpetrate violence against women? If you're using/defending misogynistic slurs, you are no ally to women's liberation. I don't care what excuses you make for normalizing our dehumanization.

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

This is why men do it. To drive women out of education, out of careers, out of politics. To have control over our lives to make us live smaller lives beneath them. The very definition of terrorism. When will we call it what it is & charge it accordingly?

The rape left her with a concussion & vaginal bleeding that lasted for days. She initially didn't want to report it but felt obligated to do so to fight for the women she hopes to represent. How much more do women have to carry because men choose to be sexual terrorists?

1161

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 14h

At what point do we recognize rape for the hate crime & sexual terrorism that it is? Two men knocked a Democratic candidate out & one raped her while the second waited then declared she wasn't worth a gang rape.

You are so profoundly vile for using insincere care about a victim as an excuse to protect rapists' reputations.

Why are you pretending your desire to have a victim to terrorize is a necessary disclosure? You rape enthusiasts are so fucking performative.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

Interesting how many of the people referring to nazis in a bar creating a nazi bar welcome rapists to the bar. I guess when you choose not to recognize rape as political violence enforcing oppressive ideology, you can pretend welcoming rapists doesn't create a rapist bar.

When rape apologists claim everyone agrees rape is bad, rapists are shunned, rape is rare, rapists are outliers, our laws don't reflect that. They reflect a culture that considers rape an entitlement of men & will continue to carve out slimy loopholes so men never lose that tool.

Most states still protect men in raping children via child marriage loopholes. How many more children have to be raped until we close these loopholes men carved out for themselves?

1176

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Many states protect men in raping incapacitated women, a rape tactic listed in the study where 95.1% of men admitted using such tactics to rape women. These are rape loopholes men have carved out for themselves that rape victims have to use their bodies to close.

1144

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Numerous states protect men raping wives, even when they've drugged them. Rape culture isn't just online trolling, it's core values that are reflected in our culture & our laws that protect rapists, not victims. Women have to individually close these loopholes after being raped.

1156

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Marital rape is still legal in many states via loopholes protecting husbands who rape wives. Rape via inebriation is a loophole that exists in many states. A raped wife had to close such a loophole in Minnesota in 2019 after her estranged husband repeatedly drugged, raped & filmed her.

The Road Jess Travelled @jesspected.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Texas closed a loophole in 2025, named for the woman who fought to close a protection for rapists loophole, like exist in nearly every state for various strategies men use to rape women/girls. How many laws exist bc a victim of a man had to fight for basic decency? www.thetimes.com/us/news-toda...

When rapists & their apologists speak for their victims, they're violating her autonomy again & playing chicken. They're daring her to come forward & contradict his/their version knowing she'll be terrorized & revictimized. It's using victims to launder rapist's reputation w/ a threat of retaliation

This is a big part of it. Ppl want an other to claim is the problem - frats, sports, Hollywood, tech, religion. And sure, certain spaces can be worse for their embrace of patriarchy & dominance culture but we have to recognize it's men, patriarchy, dominance culture, male socialization.

The disproportionate concern with “rehabilitating” abusers and rapists (nearly always code for maintaining their position and recovering their social status) is actually part of the problem.
