rape culture – Create a mess

*Everyday experiences

This is why we need WOMANISM

THIS is what it is to be female in the world. It is not a privilege. It is not a “doesn’t happen on western countries” thing. This is what is every girl experiences everywhere in the world. This is society making us a “thing” for consumption and not teaching boys to act like humans instead of teaching girls to monitor everything they do.

Fuck anyone who says rape culture doesn’t exist. Stories like this make me hate America more and more for treating women and girls with such dehumanization.

“Ross disclosed the rape victim’s address to Mirasolo and ordered Mirasolo’s name to be added to the child’s birth certificate — all without the victim’s consent or a hearing, according to Kiessling.

An assistant prosecutor on this, Eric Scott, told me she had granted her consent, which was a lie — she has never been asked to do this and certainly never signed anything,” Kiessling said.”

They literally gave a rape victim’s address out to the rapist himself. Words cannot describe how disgusted I am with this country’s justice system. There’s something very sinister about American’s desire to protect rapists.

Why are they calling a 12 year old a woman?!

This story is even worse than it looks… Apparently the State started this because she made an application for food stamps??

Please don’t forget this election season that circuit and district judges are also elected officials.

Stop leaving out the Black girls.

Jorja is only just now 21 and Bella Harris is only 18.

The weirdest fucking thing about this, is that she LOOKS 14. She looks young as fuck. She doesn’t look in any way adult or womanly or attractive.

Some girls look 25 at 14, but she isn’t one of them.

More over, she is 14, and anyone who’s over 20 should be pretty annoyed in general by teenage girls – I legitimately have no idea why someone of his age, wealth, fame, etc would have any interest in being friends with a 14 year old girl except one reason

Except one reason

you can’t deny the existence of rape culture when our judicial system is ran by these gross ass men who justify it

A brilliant explanation of consent for anyone who STILL doesn’t get it.

Never not reblog

It’s because they’ve been taught they have to earn money and the only money that belongs to them is what they worked for or was given to them willingly.

But women? They’ve been taught women belong to them by default. Laws were written that way. Religion spells it out. Entertainment feeds it to us in pretty color and catchy tune.

Everyone who doesn’t support feminism will say that occidental feminists are complaining too much about manspreading and don’t do anything against the countries where rape is still legal.

I wish those people could open their eyes.

This has happened to me before when I was in college at a frat party. This girl comes squeezing herself in between me and my friend and throws her arms around me. “Amanda, I am so glad you decided to come!” I was so confused and just figured she was drunk and mistaked me for someone else, until I saw the panic on her face. She leaned close and whispered that a guy was following her, was certain that he had put something in her drink and if I would please play along. I looked behind her and sure enough, some creep was watching her like a hawk. We invited her to hang out with us the rest of the night and even waited until her ride showed up just to make sure she was safe. Always look out for each other!
