really don't like when pieces like this bring up the carceral state or a carceral mindset when talking about someone who is facing purely social consequences. i think it's really dangerous to frame any & all negative reactions to terrible behavior as carceral. it does not help the work of abolition.

i am not an expert but i don't think restorative justice is supposed to be focused mostly on the restoration of an abuser's reputation

Before RJ became mainstream, it used to be incredibly common for RJ to not involve perpetrators at all. It was focused on repairing harm for victims. These days, most people see RJ as a mandate for the victim to change their perpetrator. It’s not fair, it rarely works, and it’s dangerous.

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.

whenever we get close to seeing a systemic problem with policing, media rushes to frame it as a training problem. however, police culture is at the core of its mistreatment of victims and rape cases. policing is a tool of white supremacy AND *male* supremacy

Social expulsion and social death are better concepts to address the kind of social repudiation that Mad people experience. Not all forms of punitive or disciplinary power are carceral. It’s also worth mentioning that “carceral logic” is invoked in self-serving ways absent of a structural critique.

This is actually quite common. In a lot of municipalities the CPS will consider this “neglect.” Not that the state failed bc housing isn’t affordable or the only jobs available don’t provide for cost of living. But it’s the parents fault. It’s another prison pipeline.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Dude that’s not a solution. The class time it takes to read a book aloud as a group is time that should be spent on actual lessons discussing the text that should have already been read at home. You just end up supervising their poor reading instead of actually teaching literacy

A basic fact about how the right operates is that they take attacks on women's rights, trans people, immigrants and racialized people etc. deathly seriously, while many liberals and even many leftists dismiss them as 'distractions' or 'culture issues'. Often due to tacit agreement.

If someone thinks my judgement on a particular issue is flawed, they engage with me on that subject and have the bravery to declare and defend their own position. When someone just doesn’t like my boundaries or just my attitude, that’s when I get called “judgmental.” It’s always a trap.

If I accepted the argument that my “judgment” was the harmful, negative thing that need to be corrected, it would have put me in a position to prove that I wasn’t “judgmental.” To be quiet about the things that made me uncomfortable, put me in danger, and conflicted with my values.

As MANY people in the comments point out, this article does not mention Long COVID, which affects ~16 million U.S. adults. At a more basic level, the story never states that COVID is airborne and that masking is the best way to prevent getting COVID. What are science journalists even doing here.

Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

If your sons can’t find role models in women, there is no hope for them to grow up into anything more than just the next generation of misogynists. If you can’t teach them women are human the same way they are, you’re failing to raise them as anything more but the beneficiaries of the patriarchy.

This is something I struggle with. I appreciate that men want models of how to be. But when we try to populate “positive masculinity” with traits — strong, smart, kind — they are all equally available to women. Masculinity and femininity are empty concepts, absent gender hierarchy.

So I think it's high time that we get blunter about the fact that feminists' reflexive pushback on a supposed normalisation of heteropessimism (as Seresin's very essay was!) has in fact been co-opted and weaponised against any and all critiques of the heterosexual regime and patriarchy.

. Such is the gospel of heteropessimism, a neologism coined by the academic Asa Seresin in 2019. But don’t believe it.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it: There has still never been a better time in human history to happily and successfully pursue heterosexuality, if that is your thing, as it is mine.
