The #cbc shits the bed with this headline.

[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.

There is *no alternative* to abolition. None. People given power over captives in a dungeon will brutally abuse that power 100% of time time, forever.

"Tacoma Police Department repeatedly failed to respond to reports of sexual abuse and assault experienced by people held at the Northwest Detention Center, according to a new report by the University of Washington Center for Human Rights.

Across the 157 reports of assault, sex crimes or rape at the facility between 2015 and 2025 reviewed by researchers, nearly 90% involved a detained person as a victim. Among those cases, Tacoma police directly contacted detainees who were victims only 36% of the time.

Reports of violent attacks, sexual assaults and beatings by facility guards have long been disregarded by Tacoma police, said Rufina Reyes, executive director of La Resistencia, a local immigrant rights group that advocates for the closure of the detention center and the end of deportations."

Sedona Prince went undrafted in the 2025 WNBA Draft—no official reason given. But after a year of public assault allegations, survivors already know why.

This is what accountability finally looks like—but it shouldn’t be rare.

Read the full breakdown on our blog.

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.

Will jemand wissen wie es um die #Gleichstellung steht, ist das Verhalten von (speziell angetrunkenen) Männergruppen ein guter Indikator. Alkohol und Gruppengefühl haben eine enthemmende Wirkung, dürfen/können aber nicht als Rechtfertigung für diese Ausfälle dienen. Viel mehr zeigt dieses Beispiel, dass wir auf rechtlicher und politischer Ebene grosse Fortschritte gemacht haben, auf psychologischer und soziologischer Ebene aber kaum.

"Rapist Praises Rapist"

I think they're about on the same intellectual level, no wonder the rapey bros are getting on well.

Dude my fucking #Lenovo #M9 #LenovoM9 #tablet literally just forced me to download #shein, some Sudoku app, & some crossword app. Unable to remove the notification demanding I install the apps, unable to deselect them. I had to simply download them & uninstall them immediately.

So I just wanna say FUCK YOU, LENOVO. Fuck this stupid fucking hellworld. We live in a #RapeCulture where consent doesn't mean anything & you will be harrassed until you submit no matter how fucking stupid the shit is.

I've been doing research for a video I'm going to make called "the 'isms of nudism" that highlights the many barriers underprivileged people face to practicing #nudism / #naturism that the predominantly straight white cis male nudist crowd are wholly unaware of because of their privilege, and it's amazing how many of these straight white cis male nudists insist there are no actual barriers... I had one insist very smugly--a black nudist, in fact! but otherwise straight and cis-- that in nudist places if there's a group of three women and 40 men, """naturally""" none of them will get harassed(???) Meanwhile in the same paragraph, he said women in gender-equal spaces "act aggressively" and "get away with it"... helloooo red flag.

It sure seems like “all men” when they brazenly admit to using their positions of power to creep on women like it’s normal and reasonable.

“After seeing a client who had lost her job, federal prosecutors said a Social Security employee offered the woman money in exchange for meeting him for sex in Massachusetts.
The now-former employee, Dae Sung Kim, 36, of Auburn, pleaded guilty Feb. 27 to attempting to induce a person to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a Feb. 28 news release.”
