Did Anyone Else See That Seal That Just Ended Up On The Street In Connecticut

I was watching a youtube video of a trial in the US: a young man who killed his father because he'd been raping him ever since he was 6. He got sentenced to life in prison because either the jury didn't believe him or they didn't believe he'd acted in self defence, whatever. I watched him cry as he was being questioned by the lawyers about what he'd endured and I genuinely felt bad for him. I believed him and was moved by his pain. I checked the comments and everybody was being supportive and saying he should be freed, but there were also dozens of comments with thousands of upvotes saying: "if he'd been a girl he would be free right now", "people never believe men", "this is why men don't come forward" and "if he was a girl it would be a whole different story." Men and women, repeating the same thing over and over again, like some rehearsed performance: women are believed more than men and they get a free pass for murder. Basically, that the justice system favours women and hastily punishes those accused of rape. Which is a blatant lie. So why do people believe it? Why do they feel the need to say it every time a man is abused? My empathy for the guy slowly vanished as I remembered that a man would never feel the same way about a woman and that men literally use other men's pain to oppress women further. There's an underlying message with it too: that men rape women so frequently that everyone believes it, which is a privilege. Female privilege. Women and girls are privileged for being assaulted so frequently that it can't be denied. And yet it is.

I looked at the corner of my youtube screen and saw the next recommended video: "Camille Vasquez's Cross of Amber Heard." In the video, Amber Heard cries much like the man I was watching just before, about being raped. The top comments all call her a liar, an evil psychopath, a bad actress and a woman who tried to ruin a man's life with false rape accusations. They're all laughing at her. You really can't make this shit up.

you guys are soo annoying about age gaps. I get it makes you feel real hot special and desired to have an ugly disgusting old man into you, but acting like people are anti kink dorks for pointing out the usually misogynistic predatory nature of those types of relationships looks so silly when having an older man fixation is like one of the most obviously insecure and self-image focused kink that someone in their 20s could have like give me a break. almost none of you are straight so you obnoxiously ridicule anyone who generally has an issue with massive age gaps, because you personally don't feel like a victim of anything making old man yaoi posts on tumblr that no one reads and you forgot how the world actually works. It's just a real funny kink to get a superiority complex over when it so often kind of screams self esteem issues

lets be pointy with mama

I’m actually counting the days until u guys r like “let women have kids!!!!”

Funny how every single even most minuscule step in history that has allowed women the slightest bit more freedom, choice or independence has always been accused of "destroying the family and home"...almost like our conception of family and home can only exist when there is some level of coercion.

This photo made my day. Solidarity with #GiselePelicot and all survivors.

It doesn't matter how progressive a man is, the second a woman does something he doesn't like, he calls her a c*nt.
