The removal of Palestinians from the conversation is further evidence that Zionism is racism www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/the-media-...

The media refuses to ask Palestinians if Zionism is racism. Apparently, only Zionist feelings count.
The most telling thing about the backlash against the Greens’ “Zionism is racism” motion is the refusal of the media to platform Palestinians.

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.
