Kids will die because of this. Last month, a young queer AB woman I interviewed said her trans partner took their life last year because of the hateful climate. The UCP’s use of this clause is unconscionable #abpoli

It's almost like the marriage industrial complex is a hot bed for rape and abuse against women

Why should protection against foreseeably devastating injury or death depend on proving the person applying the pressure personally appreciated its risk? Where the woman has died and cannot testify about consent, the law urgently needs safeguards. policyoptions.irpp.org/2026/…

My view of homeless people changed forever when I learned that more than half of them were foster kids who aged out of the system and were left with no family or resources

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

After weeks of rioting in Paris no one was killed. Which technically means your child is safer attending a riot in Paris than a school in America.

Cornell decided to ban frat parties for a year instead of punishing rapists. Rapists don’t quit being rapists just because they’re forced to change venues.

We need to talk about how porn plays apart in the rape culture that went on at Cornell. The many men defending the rapists keep arguing that a 19 year old women would have consented to a 7 person, 7 hour gang bang. No one thinks that way about young women without porn.

“Imagine it was your daughter/sister/ friend,” is a call for men to imagine a violation of the women they see themselves to possess; that is, a violation of their property. It does not ask them to understand the horror of rape. The fact is that they rape their daughters too.

In college, I dated a guy who seemed perfect. He had sisters, he was unbelievably sweet, he was gentle with me. A month before he and I met, I’d been sexually assaulted so violently it put me in the hospital. I had told no one in my life

Raising boys who won't commit sexual assault is NOT enough. Raise them to be the man in the group chat who texts back: NO, stop this, and I'm calling the cops.

The right wants to make casual, premarital, non-procreative sex as risky as possible--for women. But they also embrace the raunch. Sexual prohibition and sexual force are two styles of a single project: the use of sex to subordinate women. @MoiraDonegan theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Thousands sign petition calling on Edmonton Oilers to reverse Formenton signing ctvnews.ca/edmonton/article/…

An Austrian woman has died of injuries sustained while she was drugged, by her own husband, and pimped out to men who paid up to €500 to rape her while she was unconscious. Her husband would refer to her as "dead meat" in text messages. Her body was discovered, covered in blood, by her teenage daughter. In one text, the woman's husband wrote: "I'll get her properly drunk. Then you can have sex with her again. The way she was whining the other day was amazing." His neighbour, who was one of the men raping her, responded: "She almost screamed. You cover her mouth again." He also thanked the woman's husband for "allowing me to use her". It's not mentioned in this article but there is no doubt in my mind that the rape sessions were being filmed and sold as pornographic content.

oilers superfan mama stanley says she will no longer support the oilers in the wake of them signing alex formenton. in an instagram post, she wrote: "With a VERY, VERY BROKEN HEART, I am making an announcement I never imagined I would have to make. I am deeply disappointed by the Edmonton Oilers' decision to sign Alex Formenton. Although he was acquitted in court, I cannot ignore my conscience or what this decision represents to me. As a sexual assault survivor, I must stand by my morals and stand with the woman at the centre of this case. For that reason, as long as Formenton remains an Oiler, I CANNOT AND WILL NOT support or cheer for this team. This isn't about the players who have been there—I will always love my boys. This is about the organization's decision to bring in this one player. I just cannot support that decision! I did not make this choice lightly or simply out of anger. I've cried in waves because I feel betrayed by an organization I have proudly loved and represented for years. Losing Game 7 two years ago meant losing a Stanley Cup; this feels like losing a team I have loved with my heart for most of my life. CLEAR: I am still Mama Stanley. Mama Stanley belongs to ME—not the Edmonton Oilers organization. She represents BELIEVE, kindness, children, survivors and community. I will not abandon her or EVER compromise her values." instagram.com/p/DdFeC3wjxVd/…
