Most guys don’t look in the mirror & see a problem. But it’s staring us in the face. Sexual violence begins long before you think it does. #DontBeThatGuy

A woman soldier’s possible sexual assaulted by refugees is horrible, but this Fort Bliss story without context just serves to feed racism and xenophobia. Women in the military are far more likely to be raped by fellow soldiers, in a persistently systemically sexist institution.

I so appreciate this statement from @NRCDV about the damage done by the criminalization of intimate partner violence, which has long been supported by the Violence Against Women Act. Looking forward to working together towards a non-carceral #VAWA.

Because it apparently needs to be said, again and again and again: Don’t use cis women and girls as an excuse for your transphobia.

Parents can promote empathy and positive social connections in their boys’ lives by modeling healthy relationships at home. Find tips for parents and adults at BoyhoodInitiative.org #BoyhoodInitiative #StopBullying

Harmful masculine norms, like those that restrict emotional expression and cause social isolation, undermine boys’ mental health and are at the root of their perpetration of bullying. #StopBullying #antibullyingweek #BoyhoodInitiative boyhoodinitiative.org

Folks are appropriately dunking on this, but I just want to remind folks that this ideology is absolutely deadly.

Can't stop thinking about this "apology"--how white male misogynist fury gets smoothly recast as "passion" (& faith & love of country). I wrote about this in Good & Mad but if I had imaginatively drawn out a scenario like this I would have been like "nah, too on the nose."

carceral feminists see "what will we do about the rapists?" as the end of a conversation; abolitionists see it as the beginning of one.

Hey, @councilofdc, use some of the $ saved by #defundthepolice to prevent sexual violence prevention work now funded on a “shoestring”, which makes no sense at all. @TahirDuckett @we_rethink

“The engineered octaves of panic in her voice when they picked up. The practiced calculus: How can I stoke this man’s greatest fear and the police’s worst instincts?" What a piece by @AdrienneNGreen thecut.com/2020/05/why-amy-c…

DeVos' new rule on Title IX will harm the lives of student survivors if it goes into effect. While we are planning to take legal action to stop the rule, we need all of you to organize locally.

Thank you @RepSpeier, @RepAnnieKuster, @RepPressley, and @RepSlotkin for standing with students!
The Department of Education should be working to support students who have had their lives upended by the pandemic––not spending time rolling back survivors' rights.
.@RepSlotkin, @RepSpeier, @RepPressley & 79 others called on Betsy DeVos to halt plans to roll back Title IX protections for SA survivors amid #COVID19.
"During these trying times, we implore you to prioritize safeguarding students’ civil rights instead
of undermining them."
