Thanks to everyone who joined our abortion teach in today. Thanks especially to @amylittlefield.bsky.social and @renee.bsky.social for facilitating us. The Rightwing wants to & is planning to outlaw all abortions across the country. We know this. Glad we could convene to look back & look forward.

Ironically, my original interview with the journalist I spoke with was primarily about how "inconsistencies" can come from gender bias in investigatory processes and then be blamed on survivors. It was the inspiration for this thread--but none of these points made it into any USA Today article:

I had the misfortune of reading the victim blaming USA Today article about the Cornell 7. What a complete disregard for journalistic standards (or basic decency). Everyone should read Nicole’s thread so they understand what happened (and I for one won’t continue reading USA Today)

Reminder: this story is very well done and is also a Netfix show called Unbelievable. In a way I can only assume is standard, male law enforcement disbelieved the girl and failed to investigate, until two female detectives in another state finally found the truth. www.propublica.org/article/fals...

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

I wrote a thread earlier today (before even reading this story, actually) about how commonly the “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story are actually procedural distortions made by people in positions of power who are invested in disbelieving her:

At the leadership level anyway the two parties are "represents billionaires with openly racist beliefs" and "represents billionaires who have mostly submerged their racist and genocidal beliefs." Which is why you can't get any party leadership to sign up for transformative change the people want.

Tennessee has had two failed executions this year. The death penalty should be abolished. Christa Pike wasn’t afraid to die. She was afraid they would screw it up and make her suffer. Which is exactly what happened. We shouldn’t allow the government to kill people.

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.

SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

As he noted, it’s not a huge study and this needs more research (and participants used it 3x a day instead of 1x for most people) but Astepro is OTC and well-tolerated and cold and flu season is coming. 1x before bed (it makes some people sleepy) seems to have had a real effect on me. Just FYI!
