This is Emily Willis, an infamous rape on tape actress who suffered a cardiac arrest in a drug rehab facility. She suffered brain damage while unconscious and is now in “locked in syndrome”. She cannot walk or talk and probably never will. She is 26.

Naturally, men are asking if she will keep doing porn in this state. She cannot consent, at all. Her “doing porn” would be her getting raped, having it filmed, and then uploaded for other men to masturbate to. Some are even volunteering themselves to rape her.

Never ask me to ever give a single fuck about men’s rights while they’re saying this shit without shame on the internet. They're admitting they either masturbate to rape or would rape given the chance. This is the demon that the porn industry creates. Women and children, disabled or able bodied, dead or alive, have to suffer from this disgusting and inhumane industry. A porn actress dies, or is left permanently paralyzed, and all men say is “I wish I could fuck/rape her” “I’m going to masturbate to videos of her clearly suffering”. This just proves my theory that the ultimate male sexual fantasy is rape. And I’m supposed to care about Men’s Mental Health?

if you search for male therapists, the blurb totally changes and encourages prospective clients to start with a therapist they feel comfortable with. sexism is baked into e v e r y t h i n g

But zero comment made about the many, many reasons a woman may not want to work with a male therapist. Because it's okay for women to distrust other women (those gossipy hags!), but god forbid a woman have a single hesitation over sharing her deepest trauma with a man (our reliable and steadfast protectors).

They've got a whole bit about how men can benefit from male therapists "being on the same page more quickly" when it comes to "gender specific challenges" with multiple broad categories of challenge mentioned in the first paragraph, meanwhile women "believe" that a female therapist "will be able to relate to their specific challenges" with only one very specific challenge mentioned.

"people have to hide their emotions to perform specific types of labour where their apparent emotions influence another person's. Eg. Flight attendants have to be cheerful all the time, so that passengers feel welcome and safe. This suppression and masking of emotion can cause a sense of disconnect within the individual where they dont know what their true feelings are. This is part of the Marxist idea of alienation from labour and from the self."

CAKE AND FUCKING DRESSES AND PASSIVITY???

Oh. I know you. Not you specifically, but I know you. I worked with dozens of you on the DV circuit.

I remember once when I was dealing with one of you, who had a broken glass shoved up her vagina, and she was crying that she didn't want to go to the police, the police weren't safe, the hospital wasn't safe, I pointed out her client had done this to her. Her "work" wasn't safe.

Not the police. Not the medical workers who are mandatory reporters.

And she started going on about how this was something she could cope with, and it was her job, and she is an ADULT, and "these things happen" and if we could just stitch her up and stay quiet, everything would be fine.

She was traumatised, and 21, and she couldn't afford to live, so she "wanted" to continue being violently assaulted and raped for cash, to continue living. Because she didn't see an alternative. And we, the people patiently offering her medical assistance, were the enemy. Our words were worse than their violence. We were infantilising her. We were restricting her options. We were trying to ruin her "career", be saying that there is a life outside of paid rape.

She is now one of the fiercest advocates against prostitution, and is working towards her masters in social work. It took many, many rapes and brutalisations to get there, none of which she deserved and none of which should ever have happened to any of the girls we regularly saw.

The number of US adolescents admitted to emergency rooms for injuries related to sexual abuse more than doubled between 2010 and 2016, according to a new study. For kids ages 12 to 17, the number increased from 2,280 in 2010 to 5,058 in 2016.

The study, published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics, found that the number of emergency department admissions for child sexual abuse jumped from 5,138 in 2010 to 8,818 in 2016, an increase of more than 70%.

The authors don’t know why the cases have gone up.

“Rates of child sexual abuse have fallen overall since the mid-’90s,” said author Jesse Helton, an assistant professor of social work at the College for Public Health and Social Justice at Saint Louis University. “We know that sexual abuse cases are hard to measure, but overall with the rates going down, it should be seen as alarming that the rates are going up in the ERs.”
