Marius Borg Hoiby was sentenced to four years in prison. He stood trial as his mother came under pressure over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

The New York Times

"This Final has become a masterclass in self-inflicted wounds.

"And after a decisive 4-2 loss in Game 5, the Golden Knights better hope the craziness continues because, for the first time in this series, they look like the underdog."

Maybe it's because their goalie is a stinky piece of shit? As a member of the #hockeycanadafive, is he legally or morally a gang rapist? As humans we each get to decide.

Tortorella trusts Golden Knights to learn from mistakes, bounce back in Game 6

Momentum belongs to the Hurricanes, but in a Stanley Cup Final where no lead is safe and every mistake is magnified, the Golden Knights are still holding out hope for one more twist.

I am fighting this month and every month for those many, many of us who were sexually assaulted for being queer, even targeted by corrective rape or imprisoned for fighting off attackers.

We bring out the ugliest in those claiming to be "normal". We place higher value in our and other's consent, love, vulnerability and authenticity than in cultural norms or even laws. Within living memory, homosexuality was criminalised in my country and still is in many places, while our genders have never not been under attack.

Our very bodies and souls are criminal, abberant, shameful to those who feel entitled to use violence to prop up their fiction of "normalcy". They can not help but steep so low because what they have sold their souls to is based in lies and cruelty from the very foundation.

We, the victims of corrective rape and similar forms of targeted sexual violence, deserve a space where we can heal, where we don't have to be strong but can be vulnerable, where we're not kept small but can be strong and fierce. We contain multitudes.

One day we or our kin in spirit will inherit a world in which it is unthinkable to let anyone, no matter who, get away with rape.

Regular reminder to not use violent sexualized language to talk about toxic people.

Victims of sexualized violence, no matter their age, often blame themselves. That is a normal psychological reaction to traumatizing abuse. When you say "fuck nazis" you're basically telling women, men, non-binary grownups and children victimized:
"Yes its okay to use sexualized violence against bad people. They deserve it."
And that means:
"You must have deserved it too, which means you're as bad as a nazi."

Show empathy to the victims by not normalizing the acts and language of the perpetrators.

If you want to be feminist living in our patriarchal systems, you have to practice. Try, mess up, try again, make it a habit to redirect your brain to not degrade women.

I see all the time how pervasive casual misogyny is in boys' culture, and how it's not one thing I say to my son that will shift that but a practice of questioning and prioritizing.

@onepict points are haunting and sear through the misogynist b.s. And it's not just that the men wiping their AI girlfriends' memories are being horror movie bros, it's that every man casually cussing out a femme AI voice for getting something wrong, mocking it in hundreds of youtube videos or watching those videos, yelling demands, is practicing misogyny. Making degrading women *more* of a habit, of a default, *more* of a trait of their own personality.

It's not that these practices are inherently bad because AI feelings matter, but that they push men deeper into the quicksand of sexist rape culture.

"[...] Ich verstehe, dass es Männer verunsichert, wenn Frauen Angst vor ihnen haben. Aber die Wut darüber sollte sich nicht gegen die Frauen richten, die die Angst benennen, sondern gegen die Männer, die dafür verantwortlich sind – und das sind sehr viele. [...]"

Männer, die Frauen betäuben: Das sei eine logische Folge der «rape culture», sagt Expertin Agota Lavoyer.
