What Experts Know About Men Who Rape

[ismnotwasm]

1. I have so little to say here

Because it was said, over and over and over. Decrying rape culture was seen as argumentative at best, radical trolling at worst. Not one single accusation surprises me. The fact that Donald Trump is presumably “getting away” with the same behavior—behaviors he has admitted to— while others have been accused of the same thing doesn’t surprise me.

I don’t see these events as some sort of big change, or a dawning a new age, although I do believe women are becoming more empowered—because a backlash is coming. And it will be in the form of the ugliest victim blaming. As usual.

It’s already started. And, As I type this, a specific act of sexual violence against a female is happening. Canning Weinstein won’t stop it. Scolding and “investigating” Franklin won’t stop it—although Franklins apology rang the truest to me. Putting that little shit in Alabama out to pasture won’t stop it. Our entire culture needs to change. Reading over the conversations people are having does not bring me hope that this is happening. It’s the same old shit.
