Taking roidpig historical figures requests now

i was watching a video of cyntoia brown talking to a man investigating her case or whatever, and she’s telling him about how Cutthroat, her pimp, forced her to do drugs, raped her several times, choked her until she passed out and then he asks her ‘how come you didnt leave?’ and she’s like ‘didnt you hear what i just fucking told you? he even knows where my mom lives.’

i just hate the constant victim blaming women go through. no one ever asks why that men was raping her and forcing her to sell her body. no one ever asks why a forty-something man purchased it. it’s always our fault for “staying”.

anyway, i hope she finds peace someday.

Every year on the tourist island of Borkum in Germany, locals organize a celebration called Klaasohm, the purpose of which is to beat women.

On December 5, unmarried male members of the prestigious association “Boys of Borkum” wear huge, up to a meter high, masks decorated with horns, fur and feathers. First there is a ritual fight in a closed hall, where only those born on the island are allowed. Photos and videos of the fight are forbidden.

The winner chooses his assistants and they scatter around the island hunting for women. Any woman who gets in their way will be beaten, I'm not kidding, with cow horns in which grain is poured for additional weight. Bruises remain for weeks. It's fun for men, and pain and humiliation for women.

This brutal tradition is believed to date back to the days of the whalers. They would return to their homes in the fall and beat their wives, reminding them who was in charge of the household. The custom has survived to this day, but outsiders are not told about it: the male population of the island does not want it to become known. Only about 5,000 people live on the island, and those who break the conspiracy of silence will face public condemnation and stigma. But some find the courage to speak out anonymously on social media:

Many islanders hate the festival and are forced to keep their mouths shut because of social pressure.

"As a Borkum native, I have been telling people for years that this actually still exists on the island and no one wants to believe me."

"Everyone has to participate, and those who don't want to, too. They're afraid they'll get hurt if they speak out."

"This island is a big village. I think everyone here knows how communities like this work. If you speak out against it, the whole town will talk about you, you will be ignored and sometimes persecuted. I've seen what it's like for people who have been ostracized. Many people are afraid, which is why this festival is not publicly criticized. The journalists will leave, but you'll still have a reputation as a traitor."

Defenders of the tradition argue that in order to avoid being beaten, women simply need to stay out of the house. However, there are many accounts of men letting the masked participants into houses and apartments or even pushing women out into the street.

For many years, information about the barbaric custom did not leak out. In 2018, journalists tried to report on Klaasohm, but they were literally kicked off the island. This year, however, almost all of Germany's leading media outlets covered what was happening on the island.

Faced with nationwide criticism, the mayor issued a statement emphasizing that “in order for Klaasohm to remain an important holiday and festival that shapes the identity of the people of Borkum, awareness must be kept low. It has always been the task of the association to maintain silence around this tradition. Please be respectful and do not spread the word.”

Borkum's Equal Opportunities Commissioner supported the statement, and the police noted that no woman has contacted law enforcement in the past five years. Perhaps this is because police officers, doctors, court officials and teachers are heavily involved in the festival and women realize that there is no point in coming for help from someone who held you down yesterday, subjecting you to beatings.

The statement from the Mayor's office only added fuel to the fire and within a day the Young Men of Borkum Association issued a new message:

"We categorically distance ourselves from any form of violence against women and apologize for what has happened in the past."

They also noted that the festival “is more than just a celebration - it is a living expression of our community and an integral part of life in Borkum. It is a time when the whole island comes together.”

As we know, nothing brings men together like hunting women.

i feel like that story about a 15 yr old trafficking victim being in 50+ videos viewed by millions and millions of people on porn sites should make some of yall reconsider how you feel about porn in general but that would require you respecting girls and women as human beings so im not even gonna get my hopes up there lmfao

when someone you trusted and listened to just removes you out of nowhere,,,, not the nicest feeling. I'm not shocked or sad even, i didn't expect much else, but i feel sorry i spent time on that person

on psychologytoday.com if you search for therapists and select "female" in the filter then there's a little blurb at the bottom of the page politely chastising you for preferring a female therapist, and even suggesting you need to unpack some things if you prefer a woman. they use phrasing like "believe", "imagine", and "adhering too rigidly to a gender preference".

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

Gay men are allowed to get angry at women for fetishizing their sexuality. Just because fujoshis and the like aren't nearly as dangerous or pervasive as men who fetishize lesbians that doesn't mean gay men are obligated to put up with their bullshit.

even language is patriarchal, this shit is so hard to escape. for example, in french, ‘elles’ means a group of women and ‘ils’ means a group of men. if you add even ONE man to a group of women ‘elles’ becomes ‘ils’, no matter how many women there are. how is that fair?
