I hope thay is the case and now things can happen to correct things.

Same as how the NYPD didn’t follow through after they got the recording of Weinstein bullying Ambra Battilana Gutierrez. 

This wasn’t incompetence. There was no investigation because the rich, powerful, and famous got it buried. The police and prosecutors that enabled these animals need to be named and shamed. This crap didn’t happen in a vacuum.

It’s especially disgusting because testing those kits is like mining a gold mine. Not only is there a chance you’ll be able to catch a rapist but if that’s not an attractive enough possibility, the tests have turned up repeat offenders so the cops could get lifetime convictions and not just Brock Turner slaps on the…

Yes, it is actually good news, but I’m feeling hella cynical today (these fires aren’t helping) and the rape kit backlog disgusts me.

The rape kit backlog is a disgusting systemic failure. But finding this tape is important for victims too.

Yeah. The fact that this isn’t mainstream knowledge is testament to exactly what Union is saying. It only became popular when famous white women made it a thing.

You found a 25 year old tape. Great! Now where are we with those half million backlogged rape kits?

I think (I hope) you don’t understand what “oppression olympics” means and how often it’s used to shut down multiply marginalized people by those with more power.

I understand.

Anyone who ever mutters “pain/oppression olympics” is automatically a piece of shit.

You know, the place you go get coffee and maybe some game or toy for “your kids”. Seriously, the local B&N is now half toys, games, pretty much anything but books.

BTW.... #METOO was started by this woman:

No. As a white folk I’d like to point out that the only fucking time that HW denied the accusations is when Lupita Nyong’o shared her story.

Also how I read it. I was like yup, we white people do that shit all time. We parade in pussy caps. We gush over Taylor Swift’s law suit. WOC, women in poverty, LGBTQ+, disabled women, etc have it way, way worse but we are absolutely awful at allowing those stories to be heard. We’re like “oooooo shiny microphone. I…

Methinks people need to recalibrate their sarcasm meters before tearing into you. People always looking for blood and inserting their own syntax into sentences...

SNL’s welcome to hell skit got it right. It’s way worse for women of color. The only reason people are taking it seriously now is because it started with reputable, well liked women of power and means.

Are you fucking serious? Congratulations on being the first, but not the last, white woman to miss the entire point.

Also jesus what’s with the trolls in the greys? Good lord don’t y’all have a fucking mountain dew to demolish? I can’t imagine spending most of my day visiting blogs that I hate just to say really dumb shit. What a sad life.
