This is all fine. However is any cisman man enough to be a husband of a transwoman?

இதெல்லாம் சரிதான்… ஆனால் எந்த பாலாதிக்க ஆண் ஒரு திருநங்கை பெண்ணை திருமணம் புரிய ஆண்மையோடு உள்ளார்?!

The ugly truth: conservative SW fans are okay with the slaughter of children but rape makes them too uncomfortable. It makes empire look bad.

[🚫no men's comments🚫]

The "She Matters" mural in Hosier Lane, Melbourne - a mural that names the women who have been killed in attacks of gendered violence, has been vandalised.

The perpetrators painted "war on men" across the names and pictures of the women murdered.

We can't even have our grief.

I'm so tired of men.

The number one cause of death for women under 35 in Australia is MURDER!! The vast majority of these are committed by a partner or former partner. Women, indigenous and trans people are most vulnerable to DV.

We are wearing purple every Friday in May to encourage our students to understand why they could grow up to commit domestic and family violence if they don't learn to have respectful relationships. Strong men don't harm others.

With all the (rightful!) vitriol surrounding the Space Flight today, please don't let the conversation ignore Amanda Nguyen (because the media certainly has..).

Ms Nguyen went to Harvard and interned at Nasa twice. She conducted research on exoplanets for the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics.

While she was a student at Harvard and interning with Nasa in 2013, she was raped. This paused her dream of becoming an astronaut and experiencing space travel. As a result of her strength and compassion in response to that attack, Ms Nguyen decided to leave Nasa and engage in activism work that challenged the narrative around victim-survivors, and ultimately she created Rise - a non-profit organisation which aims to protect the civil rights of sexual assault victims and rape survivors.

In 2016, the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act passed through the Senate and the House of Reps, and was signed into law by Obama. The law protects, among other rights, the right to have the evidence of a rape kit preserved without charge for the duration of the statute of limitations, and the right to be notified before the destruction of evidence held in your case so you can apply for it to be kept and archived.

Amanda Nguyen is a brilliant and amazing person who was able to experience a tiny edge of a dream she had given up on. Please be gentle with her story when (rightfully) protesting some of the other women involved.

Crime without punishment: can a different kind of justice offer something more to sexual assault survivors?

Proponents of restorative justice say it can offer a different type of justice, but is it a soft option for a serious crime? And what does justice mean for victim-survivors?

Would you advise a loved one to report a sexual assault? It’s a question that exposes a failing justice system

Ahead of an Australian government review into justice responses to sexual violence, our series asks why the system retraumatises victims and delivers poor outcomes

‘Why didn’t you tell anyone?’: the perceptions about ‘real rape’ that are so hard to shake

Community attitudes and laws have changed when it comes to sexual assault and how victim-survivors behave. Yet rape myths still have power – both in and out of the courtroom

Sexual assault survivors like me seek justice as a sign of strength. Few of us end up winning

Victims don’t report because the legal system is stacked against them. It protects perpetrators and further traumatises victims.

‘Rape is effectively decriminalised’: how did sexual assault become so easy to get away with?

Few alleged offenders are found guilty. Many victims are retraumatised. What is getting in the way of the Australian criminal courts providing justice to sexual assault survivors?

The Guardian is running a really interesting series of stories on sexual assault and the law.

I'm going to start posting them here when I get the chance.. I recommend people read them, especially men in Australia.

Hey.. so, misogynistic insults targeting Trump supporters is still misogyny, racist insults targeting Trump supporters is still racism, anti-Semitic insults targeting Trump supporters is still anti-Semitism..

Do better.

[white men's opinions not wanted]

About 5 years ago one of my lecturers set up a meeting for me with an academic who had just started working at my university.

He was a criminological researcher doing a big project on sex workers, and she (my lecturer) thought we'd get along academically and I might possibly be interested in him as my eventual phd supervisor or something..

We had a chat over the course of about an hour, mostly about his research, but he asked at one point what I was thinking with regards to a phd topic.

At the time I was interested in looking at the incidence of sexual abuse within the police force, so I set out my argument to him:

We know that there is a much higher incidence of domestic violence perpetrated by police against their partners and kids.

We know that people reporting DV aren't taken seriously by the police they're reporting to, often to the extent where they are given misinformation like 'we can't act unless he actually *does* something'.

We know that people reporting sexual assault are often not taken seriously as well,and are often given misinformation like 'rape is actually really hard to prove, are you sure you want to report this?'.

...i wonder if there is a higher incidence of people with a history of perpetuating sexual assault in the police force?
...i wonder if they commit those assaults while in the police force, or if the job attracts people with that history?

Using the questionnaire from the Lisek & Miller study and the McWhorter study, I could survey students in a number of different fields and see if there is a higher number of people doing policing who self-report having used these rape-behaviors.

I could also do a follow up on the same students (although I'm not sure how because having the study not be anonymous would confound results) to see if their responses change after being in the police force for a number of years.

..he just looked at me and said that he doubted there was a higher incidence of DV perpetuated by police, and that he was certain that the reports that happened are angry partners targeting those cops with vexatious reports because they know it'll have big consequences for their careers.. and shut down the entire conversation immediately.

He's a critical criminologist, and wasn't interested in even having the slightest bit of curiosity about police being violent.

"When she reported to police that he would repeatedly call her and hang up – an action she felt breached the apprehended domestic violence order she had taken out against him – she says an officer told her she was being a “vexatious ex-spouse” who was trying to cause trouble."

A headline from The Guardian:
"‘It was awful’: Annie’s worst fears came true after she accused her police officer partner of DV

Since 2017 in NSW, 120 officers have been charged with domestic violence offences. But advocates believe many victims are too scared to report"

One in five women in Australia have experienced stalking, with women most likely to be stalked by a man they know, according to new results from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Two million women in the country (20% of the adult female population), and 650,000 men (6.8%), have experienced stalking since the age of 15, according to new results from the 2021-22 Personal Safety Survey, released today.
