@ElizSimins since even with a shaky denial, you still get the loving and public support of a bajillion dudes -
@sarahjeong yeah I think it's the word "rape" tbh Which makes me crazy because IT IS A WORD AND IT MEANS WHAT IT MEANS -
@ElizSimins I’m very conflicted about ascribing an appropriate level of WRONGNESS to rape… but not turning it into “ONLY MONSTERS DO IT” -
@sarahjeong same. I don't want to be like WE ARE ALL RAPISTS (in oprah's voice) but like we do need to think differently about what it means -
@ElizSimins i know, i just wish i had a fuller understanding of what “differently” should mean -
@sarahjeong —make the phrasing somehow less extreme for the benefit of the assailants?? -
@ElizSimins exactly. or to offer extralegal dispute resolution frameworks for truth/reconciliation between accuser/accused— feels so FUCKED - 3 réponses de plus
