General #tw for talking about sexual assault since that’s my thing. I avoid graphic stuff in general, though.

When dozens of women came forward with sexual assault and harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein—who has continued to deny all allegations of non-consensual sex—actor Terry Crews noticed that some people on Twitter were skeptical. Crews knows from personal experience how hard it is to experience harassment and muster the courage to speak out: He says he was groped by William Morris Endeavor agent Adam Venit at an industry event in front of his wife. The agency said they suspended and demoted Venit, who declined to comment for this article. He has since returned to work. Crews is now suing Venit and the agency for sexual assault.

This week, Paul Ryan announced the vote to defund Planned Parenthood and dismantle the Affordable Care Act. Both of these actions are a death sentence for millions of women across the US. The GOP thinks that the 8,000 - 9,000 community health centers in the country will be able to handle women’s health needs, but that’s just not true. (And these stories often show why.) I was so upset when I heard about it, I started re-sharing stories from this blog, and then decided to start asking for new ones. Share yours if you can!

Yet you’re mad that a stranger believes that America is better than what it is right now.

#NeverTrump is a pretty easy choice.

Made this for my BFF this morning.

We need to hear more stories like these, and “Survivor Privilege” aims to tell them. Wagatwe, a survivor herself, named the book after a hashtag she started in response to a Washington Post article by George Will claiming that being a sexual assault survivor means having a “coveted status that confers privileges.” In a culture where victims are often silenced and blamed while perpetrators are forgiven, the hashtag and the book hope to show that being sexually assaulted is not a privilege, and the perpetrator is not the real victim. The victim is.

i love how that GIF is the post’s share image.
