It’s only anti semitic if people don’t realise that calling out the Israeli government for their atrocities is not the same as calling out an entire race of people. I’m very pro the Jewish people, but I’m deeply anti the Israeli government 🤷🏻♀️
My favourite part was looking around and seeing the metalheads, indie sleaze, hip hop kids, punks and edm fanatics all losing our collective minds and having the best time 🥰
This was 2014 glasto. I was 24 & and saw her set despite not really being my “genre” of music. She was hands down the best set of the weekend, and it’s still a top 5 performance for me.
160k people - young, old, metalheads, indie sleaze, hip hop kids- just basked in her aura 🥰
The patriarchy is literally the reason why so many men don’t take male victims seriously. It’s the reason suicide is the leading cause of death in men under 45 because men have historically been taught to be stoic, to not discuss their feelings. It really does fuck men over a lot
Im a feminist, we agreed on several things tonight. I don't hate MRA's. Some of the ideas are genuinely good things. However MRAs have a history of blaming / hating women for systematic failings, instead of blaming the patriarchy which is what actually fucks us al (male or female
Men's Rights Activists want women to organise everything and when we don't we're told we don't care. No one is stopping you from organising a march or doing proper activist work (Like Harry, the victim) and bringing more attention to a subject that needs more light shone on it.
No it’s not the same thing, cause a trusted adult (the step mum) groomed him for 3 YEARS before raping him, and routinely threatened that telling anyone would ruin both their lives. She preyed on a vulnerable child and made him feel like she LOVED him and cared for him.
And! It’s not the first feminist podcast he’s told his story on! I listen to many feminist podcasts and have heard him many times (which is good because his story deserves to be heard!) and yet I’ve yet to see a clip of him on a male podcast tbh
I gotta be honest… with the comments here it’s very much the men who are saying men can’t get raped or that he’s “being a pussy”… and paradoxically it’s the woman who are supporting the victim in the video.
Feminists have historically held space and cared about male victims, WAY more than men have cared about male victims. For a long time a lot of men said men couldn’t be r@ped (wrong) and some would even say “this is every teenagers fantasy!” (Also wrong)
“Why are the feminists silent about this” and he’s literally speaking on a feminist podcast, with a large feminist audience, meaning said feminists are raising awareness of his traumatic history, tf? I haven’t seen any interviews of him on podcasts run by MRA lmao
I don’t recommend doing this btw unless you wanna be just as toxic. My brain is fully formed now, so I wouldn’t do it now, but at 19, I really didn’t give a crap HA
An ex routinely did this to me, and one time I just snapped back “I wish you would! It would be the first time you committed to anything! Can’t commit to me, to a job, to that! we’re both losers for it!” And woo boy, gotta tell you, he was so mad but it shut it down so quick lol
