[Society thinks] rape is not something a man chooses to do to someone; it‘s a natural phenomenon, like the rain or wind; sensible people will take umbrellas out with them and those who don‘t, will get rained on. Rape is presented as something women can avoid, like the rain, but those who don‘t, are a special breed of women apart from all others; something about them meant that nature picked them out to be raped; it wasn‘t something about the rapist that caused them to be raped, it was something about them.

This is a fantastic break down.

I got into an argument with a guy who refused to believe the statistic that 1 in 12 college age men admit to raping a woman. He wouldn’t accept it. But he didn’t seem to find any problem with the statistic that 1 in 4 women will be raped in their lifetimes. I guess he thought they were being assaulted by, idk, magic invisible forces instead of other people? (via insecurelobster)

please take a moment to sign this petition and to pass it on.


It asks that CeCe serve her time in a women’s prison rather than a men’s facility, where she is currently set to serve her time.

Please freaking sign. Otherwise she will literally be doomed to two+ years of constant sexual abuse.
