The idea that ambiguity in communication is what causes men to rape is another one of those fictions we indulge in as a society to obfuscate how sexual assault is more or less a game to men, how groups of men encourage and enable each other and how it forms the basis of their social standing.

Do people realise that this guy's endorsement of the motion was listed on the briefing booklet for it? Like I actually do personally think all ethnonationalisms are necessarily racist. But I don't believe that stating that was – in good faith – all this motion was intended to do.

I originally tried to come out to my now ex-wife back in 2012. I thought it would go well because she openly identified as pansexual. Her reaction was to say "b-but you're my [deadname], i don't want you to change" that one sentence kept me closeted for another 6 years

hormones are awesome and should be encouraged, if you really don't want them, fine, but making it my problem and trying to silence me because you don't want them is weird and anti-trans actually

like i will just never be an advocate of staying closeted. i sacrificed everything to be who i am! and it was worth it. yes it was scary, yes i am still scared sometimes. no i would never go back. we can't always be placating these fears sometimes we have to question them

and i did cling to femininity as hard as i could at first, because leaving it is scary. it is scary to let go of something that you are taught is what all your worth is your entire life. but i was constantly suicidal and unstable. im not perfect still but im so much better. It's Worth It.

I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

One thing that's been bothering me in the last couple days is I have never seen this level of "we should forgive and forget" "rehabilitation" for any woman doing anything perceived as or actually wrong no matter how small compared to literally having sexually assaulted someone.

My feelings about Restorative Justice Rape Discourse are significantly complicated by the fact that Prison Culture blocked me a couple hours after I posted this
Bluesky post reading: "It was briefly fashionable to blame anti-rape activists for being the thing that held prison abolition back, due to all our cramming of men into prisons. I will remind you that #MeToo convicted a total of 7 guys and two of the ones in this graphic [Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein] have been overturned."

Not to insomnia-weigh-in on the concept of restorative justice, but I thought long and hard ten years ago about what I would say if someone asked what Alex Kozinski could do by way of restorative justice. (Nobody ever asked.)

So I thought about the harm of what he had done, and one of the harms I heard, over and over again, was that he pushed women out of the legal world. Me, for one. People who felt they could not attend events where he would be present. People who attended events and then felt twitchy thereafter.

He was a well-known missing stair who was constantly invited to everything, and so step one in my "what might restorative justice look like" was this: he had to voluntarily relinquish going to these events--which he loved!--forever.

Not as punishment. Not as a matter of being carceral. But because his going to any one of these events from here on out would continue to push women out of the profession, and at a fucking bare minimum, he had to stop doing harm before you could begin to talk about restoration.

Restorative justice doesn't mean "nothing bad ever happens to you." It means, "in determining what happens from here on out, we center the needs of your victim to repair what happened to them over your own needs."

It is bizarre to watch people use the words "restorative justice" to center the need of someone who assaulted someone else. You simply cannot talk about restorative justice in this context without centering his victim.

Restorative justice is essentially impossible in this context: he got a slap on the wrist years ago, and his victim likely never got justice.

"Yes, he may have made a mistake, but he's changed. He's a good man who does good things. He's a pillar of the community. Surely it's not worth ruining a man's life." Dressing this up in leftist jargon and invoking "rehabilitative justice" doesn't actually change what you're saying btw

It's actively insanity inducing to be a survivor and a feminist right now because in the face of the sheer ubiquity of sexual assault and the lack of consequences for it, we're all being besieged by demands that we think of the rapist men, forgive the rapist men, cleanse the souls of the rapist men

Why can't we love the rapist men? Forgive the rapist men? Don't you know that punishing rapist men won't fix the rape they committed? Don't you know we can't ever have a solitary single consequence for a man who committed rape? Haven't the rapist men who were slapped on the wrist suffered enough?

Here, read this bell hooks book where she was clearly struggling to reconcile her own love for men with the fact that her abusers will never be held to account for their actions. Let's build a worldview out of cope because every institution and community and person will side with them over you.

You can't expect better. No one will ever hold a man to account. Holding men to account for abusing women is racist and imperialist and colonial and transphobic and even misogynistic, somehow. Isn't forgiveness in your nature, anyway? Aren't you a woman? Isn't this what you're for?

I think the most loving thing someone could have told to me during the many years I was trying to make bisexuality work is that sleeping with men was not mandatory. Not that it contaminated me or anything like that but that I was allowed to stop if I wanted to.

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

It's true that the "justice" system frequently sides with rapists, lets them off the hook and re-traumatizes victims. And it's true that trusting a punitive carceral system is folly anyway. Effectively, we live in a world where socially and legally, there are no consequences for committing rape.

You don't need to trip over yourself to tell lesbians that "it's okay to sleep with men!" Every institution, cultural norm and social pressure is constantly telling us it's okay to sleep with men. Most of our families would be ecstatic if we slept with men. We got the message. It's fine. Shut up.

If the lot of you spent half as much energy telling men to stop harassing, pursuing and committing violence against lesbians as you do in telling lesbians how accepting and understanding you'd be if a dude fucked us, maybe we our lives would actually be easier in a meaningful way.
