Enjoying my rewatch of the original Battlestar Galactica, interesting to see it as an adult, so many nuances and wisdom I forgot about. Again, science fiction warned us and gave a solution. youtu.be/iBISX8oP1W0?...

Marty Goddard, a sexual assault advocate revolutionized sexual assault forensics, and yet a MAN got all the credit. The Joyful Heart Foundation estimates there are roughly 49,248 untested kits nationwide based on reporting from available states through their END THE BACKLOG initiative.

In September of 1978 kits were sent to 25 Chicago hospitals. By the end of the next year, nearly 3,000 kits had been turned over to crime labs. Then the Justice Department paid Goddard to travel the country setting up protocols in other hospitals.

She knew that police would be more willing to take the kit seriously if it had the name of a respected police sergeant on it, not a woman advocate. Then, Goddard sought funding. The Playboy Foundation gave her $10K. They gave her office space in Chicago and had volunteers assemble the kits.
She made the trade-she knew that police would be more willing to take the kit seriously if it had the name of a respected police sergeant on it, not a woman advocate. Then, Goddard sought funding. Charitable foundations weren’t interested in having their brand next to the word rape. The Playboy Foundation gave her $10K.

Goddard then had to convince the police to work with her. The first time she approached Luis Vitullo, the Chicago Crime Lab director to present the idea to him, witnesses say he screamed at her. He eventually agreed, but Goddard’s own non-profit trademarked it under his name.

So by the time Marty Goddard was sitting on the Metro Hot Line, listening to teenage girls tell their stories, the problem wasn't hard to see. Women were being asked for proof. And no one had bothered to make sure the proof was collected properly. So, Marty Goddard designed a box.

Marty Goddard was a volunteer for a hotline for run away teenagers and she kept hearing stories from girls that they had been raped-usually by someone they knew. Some of these girls went to the hospital, but there was no standard of care in place. Some hospitals took swabs, some didn’t.

🧵The rape kit was invented by a woman, named after a man and paid for by Playboy magazine. Her name was Marty Goddard. In Chicago, early 1970s, about 16,000 women were being raped in a year. When women went to the police they weren’t believed.

The crazy thing about the Teamsters president showing up at the RNC yesterday is that President Biden saved our pensions. Neither Trump nor the Teamsters president has actually ever done anything for the union.
