I think it's so quaint how some people think an accused predator being found not guilty in a court of law means they're actually not guilty. Like we don't have a court system that puts the victims on trial while shielding predators from accountability. #SA #CSA

This list is great. It's so important to think of circumstances and other provisions needed when donating food.

#GiselePelicot - you have turned the tables for rape survivors. Thank you. I hope you can take some time now to step back, and rest, with those who love you, care for you, and give you the respect you always deserved. #Pelicot www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's nothing short of a scandal that Time magazine selected a criminal, a misogynist and a fascist as person of the year in the same year that we witnessed one of the bravest public appearances of all time. My person of the year is Gisèle Pélicot and it's not even a debate. #shamemustchangesides

I was 9 when my abuser raped me in my own home. Other family members were in the house. It is hard to imagine how he took the risk, but he did. He was sure of my silence. I didn’t tell anyone what happened until 30 years later. I’m pretty sure he didn’t expect me to publish it in a book. 1/

The #Telegraph here trying to crowbar a suggestion of blame into Gisele Pelicot's story even after the conviction of her husband and the 50 other (known) men who drugged and raped her. This has to stop. #ShameMustChangeSides

Rape & sexual abuse have always had a close affinity with those that are power hungry, greedy, & cruel, especially when it comes to those that either are, or seem to be, weak. Let's remember that Gaetz is getting away with it, perhaps not entirely, but mostly. Ditto for most rapists. #CSA #Rape
