Remember the Stuebnville Rape Case? Well, we certainly do as we have been following it from day one. The Anonymous member who gathered and released the social media evidence against the rapists could face up to 10 years in prison for doing so. The 2 rapists that were convicted only got 2 years each. That is bullshit.
Read up on this and if you find it as appalling as we do, please see what you can do to help KYAnonymous.

this is actually disgusting.
Saw “THIS”?! They immediately dehumanized this woman and then further dehumanized her by stating they would rape her. Every one of these males. Rape was the first thing that came to mind. This is beyond disgusting.
Go on. Tell me rape culture isn’t real. Tell me how “Everyone knows rape is wrong.”
this makes me SO FUCKING ANGRY
i
no
yeahhhhhhhh not okay…
SOMEONE GIVE ME A FUCKING SLEDGEHAMMER SO I CAN BASH IN THEIR DISGUSTING SEWER SLUDGE EXCUSE OF FUNCTIONING BRAINS INTO THE FUCKING CONCRETE./p>
I’m male and rape isn’t the first thing that comes to my mind.
#just want to add that this isn’t an entirely male thing #i’ve seen women saying equally disgusting and horrifying things about sleeping men#rape culture is a serious problem across the board #women AND men are victims

Meet Deric Lostutter, a 26-year-old cybersecurity consultant who also goes by the moniker “KYAnonymous.” Lostutter obtained and published tweets and Instagram photos in which members of the Steubenville High School football team joked about an incident in which a 16-year-old girl was raped.
Lostutter’s actions inspired a group of people to take justice into their own hands. A hacker called “Bobcat” vandalized the Facebook page of the Steubenville football team. Other hackers took similar action.
It’s unclear if Lostutter participated in any hacking shenanigans, but if he’s indicted and found guilty of any, he faces 10 years in jail. By comparison, the Steubenville rapists received one- and two-year sentences each.
Stark difference.
seriously?????
One and two year sentences for rape. 10 years for bringing said rapists to light in a significant way. Yeahhh, yep, I’d say “justice” has been served.
I do not. have. enough. advil. for. this.
Are you fucking kidding me. I cannot with this shit. The system is FUCKED UP.
British author Nick Ross insists that “I’m not saying rape isn’t rape” – except when he says, “Rape isn’t always rape.”
He says things like, “Rape is one of the most defiling crimes and there is never excuse or justification for it.” Then he says, “In any other crime we take account of provocation and contributory factors. Even in murder. Why not with sex?” And he wonders why readers are a little confused.
@ChuckWendig: Facebook will not remove rape culture photo from its site as it doesn’t qualify as “hate speech.”

This is fucking bullshit
Men had no problem violating women’s bodies while they had on corsets, petticoats and farthingales, so what the fuck makes you think a short skirt has anything to do with it?
Men also have no problem violating women’s bodies while they wear a niqab, hijab and burqa, some of the most covered form of clothing. So basically, what the fuck makes you think clothes have anything to do with it?
Super relevant.

From the email I received: I didn’t even have the heart to go through the comments again, because just reading this and some of the people agreeing made me physically ill. Suffice it to say that several women spoke up about how this qualifies as domestic abuse, rape and other unacceptable things, and several MORE men made fun of the “radical feminists” and said that “in a relationship, people have to do things they don’t want to do, etc. etc.” I think the icing on the cake was when someone commented with “Im feminist and think this post is Completely accurate. Sure youre entitled to say no, but you should realize you do things, physically emotionally or materialistically, for your boyfriend.”
This kind of shit is totally mainstream and socially accepted (24 likes, y’all) and yet men get all shitty when women fear them as potential rapists.
A great example of why I will forever advocate for and enthusiastic consent model of sex education. But no, instead of things that could do good (like actually dismantle rape culture) American sex education includes shit like slut shaming and misinformation about contraception.
I have to rant about this because this is one of the things that pisses me off the most about men and relationships and is the reason why I primarily choose to stay single (not that anyone would want to date me, but that’s another story). Men often times are taught that the only time you should ever be nice to a girl is when you want her to suck your dick. The only time you should treat your woman like a queen by taking her out, buying her nice things, listening to her problems, or being there for her when she needs you is that you sincerely hope she’ll let you give her the D. THAT is what society is teaching boys! That is what we’re lead to believe! That women are not worth more than a fuck and if they don’t let you fuck them, then you shouldn’t treat them nicely! People who agree with the statement above should take a step back and review their life choices. Also, he’s is valiantly misinterpreting the concept of partners being equal and doing something they may not enjoy for the sake of their partner’s happiness. That is a common misconception. You should never force someone to go to a hockey game if they don’t like hockey. You should never make someone watch cheesy romantic films if you know it’s going to bore the hell out them. If they’re cool with doing stuff they don’t like just because they enjoy spending time with you, awesome, but you shouldn’t ever force someone to do something they don’t want to do just because “you’re in a relationship!” And that doesn’t constitute being a supportive ear for your partner! If you love someone, you REALLY FUCKING love them, you don’t care if they spend all day crying and complaining about something! You will make sure you are there to cheer them up in any way you fucking can, but if you’re only listening to your girlfriend’s problems in hopes that after she’s done bitching, she’ll take her pants off, then you need to fall back somewhere and she needs to leave your loser ass! This guy is literally the reason I don’t trust guys and I don’t want to date them. This status right here is just further proving my point that if we continue with all of this misogyny and allow people to behave in this way, we’re always going to be held back and abused by men! Fuck this guy and fuck all those people who think that this status is in any way correct. And I hope if this dude ever gets in a relationship, his girl sees this status and walks out on him. He’s a piece of shit who needs to get his act together. Fucker.
Women don’t owe men access to their vaginas. They have to earn that shit!
This post just angered me! Seriously if the guy wants sex then give him sex! It’s a good point, he doesn’t feel like doing crap for you all the time, but he does because e loves you, so u should give him what makes him happy because he loves you and you love him! I get so annoyed when girls flip out about how their boyfriend wants to have sex, I mean if you are a minor, it’s different, but I you are an adult, act like one and show your man that you care, just like he shows you tht he cares
^Am I reading a 1950s advice column for women? What a sad state of affairs when people are still recommending a “grin and bear it” approach in 2013.
Listen people, you should NEVER have to have sex because of coercion, obligation, or pressure. THAT IS A PROBLEM.
It’s not just a problem - it’s called rape. It’s a good thing to know Tumblr user maddietheninja is not only a rape apologist but a rape advocate.
[W]hen men come forward to complain that they would totally act right if women would just say no “correctly,” they are lying. The idea that you could somehow make your harassment less gropey and upsetting or your rape less rapey, if you would stop being so inscrutable and just explain to the poor clueless dear in terms that he’ll understaaaaaaaaaaand is beyond. fucked. up.
This sets up a world where men can do whatever they want until they hear a “no” that they choose to interpret as being “real,” and sets up any damage done up until that point as being the victim’s fault. The victim is not controlling the interaction, the harasser is choosing to harass. What possible advantage is there in making it the victim’s responsibility to convince their harasser “Oh no, kind sir, please stop?” or they must have deserved what they got? If you’re really invested in the “why are women such cowards who don’t say no clearly enough” narrative, ask yourself, why are you so interested in maintaining a shield of plausible deniability for sketchy people doing sketchy things to women?

I’m always super wary around any guy who seems to think women never “properly” turn men down. I mean, not only are women socialized to let men down “gently” because hurt manfeels will apparently destroy the world, but men are socialized to think that women are flighty idiots who have no idea wtf they actually want, and that no really means yes. They interpret “being coy” and “playing hard to get” where we’re saying “look I don’t want you to punch my face in for this but seriously back off. Please. If that’s okay with you.”

Anonymous threatens to out boys involved in alleged gang rape of N.S. teen unless RCMP charges them
The “hackivist” organization Anonymous says it knows the identities of at least two of the four boys involved in the alleged gang rape of Rehtaeh Parsons and are threatening to release their names and locations unless the RCMP charges them.
“Our demands are simple: We want the N.S. RCMP to take immediate legal action against the individuals in question. We encourage you to act fast. If we were able to locate these boys within 2 hours, it will not be long before someone else finds them,” the Anonymous group working under the name “Operation Justice For Rehtaeh” said in a Wednesday press release.
The group initially said they knew the names of two of the four boys, but within 30 minutes said on Twitter it knew the names of all of the alleged perpetrators.
“We do not approve of vigilante justice as the media claims. That would mean we approve of violent actions against these rapists at the hands of an unruly mob. What we want is justice. And that’s your job. So do it.” (Facebook)Go for it Anonymous. Out them for the criminals they are if justice won’t be done.
we need more of this in the world
At Kenilworth Junior High in Petaluma, a school administrator pulled all the girls aside Thursday afternoon and told them they couldn’t wear pants that were “too tight” because it distracts the boys.
Instead of heading to their last class Thursday, all the female students reported to the multi-use room and when they found out what it was about there was quite an uproar.
“It takes away like half of my clothes because I have a lot of yoga pants and leggings, so everyone’s kind of like mad about it,” said Makenna Mattei, a student.
if he thinks rape jokes are funny go on a romantic boat ride with him and leave him in the middle of the fucking ocean to die
