Rape - Blog Posts

Does anyone else remember when one of America’s most famous science communicators, Neil deGrasse Tyson was accused of rape and many other chases of sexual misconduct.

And then nothing happened to him. He was barely investigated. He just kept his job as DIRECTOR of the Hayden Planetarium (the 3rd largest Planetarium in the United States). He also kept his job on the Cosmos continuation (which aired in 2020) and his podcast/tv show StarTalk.

And while I will admit that their is no definitive proof of the allegation of rape, the two other public reports of sexual misconduct have not been denied by Tyson. He has however said that he did not intend for his actions to be sexual in nature.

The four brave women that came forward with these allegations are Tchiya Amet, Katelyn Allers, Ashley Watson, and the fourth woman who remained anonymous. Please make sure that these women are not forgotten.

Sorry I haven't been posting, kinda forgot that I had a blog. But I have something to share. TW of SA and brief SH

I read something on here, I didn't safe the post or remember who it's from, about Firefighter. For those of you who don't know what it is it's a rape "game". When someone asks you to play Firefighter and you say yes, it's "content" to let them rape you. Reading that made me remember about when I was sexually assaulted. It made me remember more details leading up to it and even made me remember the date of it, March 18th 2021. And surprisingly, I didn't break down, I didn't relapse on my SH, I got angry, pissed, I still am angry but not as bad. I hate that I remembered when it's way too late to do anything and that I still can't remember it fully. I hate that after I started making peace with it, I had to remember more of it.

I started to realize that the "game" is kind of coming back to light so I want to tell people about it to warn them. So if anyone EVER asks you to "play", run for the hills, scream your head off, and find authorities. Don't respond to the person, just run.

anyways i dont wanna see m*lanie m*rtinez on my dash ever again because she is literally a fucking rapist

Tumblr will have his head on a spike by next Monday.

Why twitter whyyyyy ???? 😩😩😩😩

Referring to ace people as “virgins” or “turbo virgins” is especially disgusting since ace people are the second most likely orientation to get raped. Whether you want to argue that this is because of abigotry or because we’re more likely to be/be regarded as sexually unavailable is beside the point. We are at greater risk of sexual assault, and the “virgin” taunt disregards that many of us are not virgins and not by choice.

Virginity is, of course, a heteronormative bullshit concept at its core anyway. But when I think of those of us who have been assaulted, or coerced, or convinced themselves into sex out of terror, the word “virgin” seems especially poisonous.

Jokes about rape, racist jokes, sexist jokes, ‘did you just assume my gender’ jokes, jokes about nazi’s, jokes about suicide, jokes about ‘triggers’ are going to upset people. I’m sorry, but it’s true. And if you aren’t comfortable with those types of jokes, say something. If they’re a good person, they’ll stop. If not, leave ‘em. If someone doesn’t like the jokes you’re making, stop. Respect people, please.

Note To Society #5

Sex workers are just as deserving of respect as anyone else, regardless of their occupation. And they are no more deserving of rape and harassment as anyone else.

[Multiple people have pointed out that the Sojourner Truth speech isn’t accurate. Interesting none of you bother recommending other resources to spread awareness of what it’s like to be a Black Woman while you are pulling attention away from the main point–Black Women need to be recognized. If you have such a problem with how accurate the speech is, just know I looked into it and apparently she approved the second version which also expresses how she’s feeling. Let’s move on or pm me and I can list some alternatives if it’s weighing on your mind.]
