 QUIET ROOMS & CLEAN SHEETS

what are we to make of the pelicot case? i get that most of you are bros who care more about crypto tycoons & social media ceos getting unfairly arrested, and i get that advocacy. 

those are the cases you speak up about, because you do not have to feel ashamed.

but bros, those of you — because let’s face it, some of you, just like pelicot, have been raped & perhaps drugged by men posing in your lives as caretakers, family members, priests, teachers & of course, mentors — who experienced this & know about it:

IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO SPEAK UP ALONGSIDE WOMEN.

i remember growing up we were taught rape was something that happened late at night on a gravelly street with a struggle & and that we should never shout “rape” because no one would come.

we were told to shout “FIRE!” to bring people out.

but what about all these quiet rapes, in quiet rooms, these soft rapes in soft places, these clean rapes in clean sheets?

all those silent witnesses who could not say anything then but can say something now…

 I just had to look that up. And oh my Goddess! His wife's body's literally representing the Earth's body raped and ravaged time after time and that is why the Earth is fucking raging. Sick sick sick humanity.
