  • Buried at the end of the article is a badass woman who is refusing to be silent to put a little pep back in your step:

    Hunt said she is also frustrated by the silence from men.

    “It should not be women’s job to tell you that you have to be pissed,” Hunt said. “You need to hold each other accountable. You need to call out your friends. And when a story like this comes out, you should be some of the first to speak up and say, ‘This is not alright.’ It’s not on your mother, your wife, your girlfriend or your daughter to bring it to your attention.”

    “I challenge every man to do that.”

    Hunt was involved in the ousting of former Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who was accused of sexual assault, and former Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, who resigned from Congress after he was accused of rape and sexual misconduct. Both men are Democrats.

    Women are not likely to go silent on this issue soon. Social media and in-person protests on campuses and near seats of power continue to be peppered with women proclaiming that they, too, were assaulted. They, too, are Jane Doe.

    “Women are done accepting predators in power, and we are fighting back with every lever available to us,” Hunt said. “We are making sure that violence against women is not just a liability but a dealbreaker for those looking to hold elected office, and this will be a motivating issue in the November midterms.”






  • Hear hear!

    Reporting to the police does not guarantee justice.

    FBI crime data shows that law enforcement clears 26% of reported rape cases. In this data, “cleared” may mean someone was arrested or even that the suspect was deceased; it does not necessarily mean the perpetrator was charged, convicted, incarcerated, or otherwise held accountable.

    The clearance rate directs our attention to the 74% of survivors of rape whose cases remain unresolved every year. That’s at least 125,274 people who reached out for justice they may never receive.

    4 in 5 reported perpetrators are never charged with a crime.

    For many survivors, reporting sexual violence means entering a system where the outcome is uncertain. A report may be investigated, cleared, closed, declined, or moved forward—but only a fraction of reported cases lead to criminal charges.

    A 20-year review of sexual assault case outcomes found that just under 20% of reported rape and sexual assault cases are criminally charged.

    This number points to one reality: many survivors report sexual violence without seeing the person who harmed them formally charged with a crime.

    Being believed by police does not ensure accountability.

    A 20-year review of reported rape and sexual assault cases found that 89% were “founded” by law enforcement, meaning police determined that the crime more than likely occurred.

    But only 8% of reported rape and sexual assault cases ended in conviction.

    In other words, police believed most reports, but very few cases led to the perpetrator’s conviction. Survivors can be believed and still not get the legal outcome they seek.

    Justice requires more than recognizing harm. It requires systems prepared to move cases forward and support survivors through what comes next.




  • Oh hahaha well. Honestly there aren’t as many DMs sometimes as you’d imagine (as a femme person who has posted nudes before). And posting nudes isn’t the best way to find sincere men in the DMs. Sometimes the attention is kinda nice though, but it’s never been the main motivator for me. Exhibitionism and the thrill of doing something naughty is way more motivating than men being thirsty haha.
