How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE* 

sexual violence centre cork 

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS 

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE. 

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM. 

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU. 

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

*for perpetrators.

one of the things I hate most about patriarchy - which continuously causes harm to almost all women, at scale - is when powerful figures instrumentalise “women’s safety” to be more carceral-controlling and racist.

a lot of white queers don't understand what whiteness is, and that makes much of their interactions with queer folk of color suck, so I'll explain a little. The two facets of whiteness that are most important in this context are that it is a social and legal exemption from racial oppression.

Australia nicely demonstrates the way far-right parties end up pulling the strings on centrists goblins Centrists see surging support for drooling racists, and then try to mildly mimic their positions and policies. Centrists don't get a surge in poll support though; that all stays with the racists

I know it’s not cool to talk about 9/11 in ways that are not disparaging, but it’s important to remember that some of us are over 25 or 30 years old, and were defined, somehow - professionally, personally - by the day and especially by its aftermath.

There's this concept in Feminist Theory called Marked/Unmarked. Women are marked. Men are unmarked. In plainer English: women are the exception; men are the default. Notice they never want to preserve men's sport from trans men who are literally controlling the amount of testosterone they have.

The reality of being trans in the UK is of a brutalisation and a trauma that is forcibly reopened on at best a weekly basis. I think it is difficult for anyone who is not trans to grasp what an overwhelming nightmare it is to spend a single day in this country while trans.
