Orders against reporting on sexual abuse

UK newspapers were ordered not to report on sexual abuse by politicians, and the records of these orders appear to have been destroyed, or else the orders were fake.

Ceasing to feel ashamed of accusing men of rape

dimanche 23 novembre 2014 à 13:00

American women are ceasing to feel ashamed of accusing men of raping them.

The idea of being ashamed of being assaulted in any fashion makes no moral sense to me. I can only understand it intellectually.

It was common to for families to despise women who were raped, along with women who had sex without authorization, treating women as possessions of the family rather than as persons. For instance, a legend about the foundation of the Roman Republic admires a woman for committing suicide after being pressured into sex. In some twisted societies, this attitude continues today and is the basis for "honor killings".

I suppose women internalized this condemnation and converted it into shame.

An example of how US mainstream media promote escalation of war against PISSI.

Examples of how they promote the Keystone XL planet-roaster pipeline.

"Stop resisting, you can't win" has been used against every successful resistance movement.
