I’ve been pretty mad the last couple of days. From Donald Trump saying that all Mexicans are rapists and criminals (except that few “good ones”) to that white terrorist saying that blacks are rapists that are taking over this country.
I’ve done some digging and apparently white men are more likely to rape and cause sexual assault in this country. Not Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, etc. but White men. And its hardly a contest about 65% of rapists in 2012 were white. Yea just let that sink in.

Like seriously, this country is founded on the white man’s obsession with conquest, which largely consisted of the plundering and rape of both slaves and natives and you wanna tell me the privilege of getting away with it then doesn’t carry over now?
not to undermine the fact that white men suck but this makes perfect sense considering some 62% of americans are white
could we talk about the incredibly high chance of natives getting raped because thats fucked up. also black people are slightly likelier than white people (this is all america centric i think)
While there are countries that gave its people new and unprecedented rights. here in Australia we have our rights taken from us, with same sex marriage still not being legalized, increased surveillance, threats of loss of citizenship, religious persecutions, censorship of public owned media, deportation and offshore detention of refugees, financial persecution of university students, de-funding of schools and hospitals and disclosure of aboriginal communities.
don’t forget labor’s

Also, I really need white men to stop justifying their racist violence by saying that “black men are raping white women”. You know what demographic rapes the most white women, by far? White men. White men who the white woman knows. White boyfriends, white guy friends, white family members, white schoolmates.
And yet I’ve yet to see any of our self-appointed saviors murder a bunch of random white guys because they could be our potential rapists. Funny how that works.
We – and by we, I mean, white feminists – need to talk about how Dylann Storm Roof, the Charleston terrorist, used white female purity to justify murdering black people.
“I have to do it,” he said. “You rape our women.”
This myth – that black men rape and assault white women – has been used to justify the murder of black people for centuries. It was used to justify lynchings. It was used to justify slavery. It is still used today.
And white feminists absolutely NEED TO REPUDIATE this myth, because white women’s tacit approval – and sometimes vocal agreement – with this myth is part of what allows this terrorism to happen.
People like Dylann Storm believe white women need to be protected from black men.
We don’t.
I stand in solidarity with the black community, not with people like Dylann Storm. He does not speak for me.
(100% inspired LaKeyma Pennyamon’s facebook post asking why white women haven’t already done this. Thank you.)
New research shows 0.6% of rape allegations are false.
New research shows 0.6% of rape allegations are false.
and for those interested, you can find the report HERE
Just in case any dudebros are unclear on what this means: it means that your buddy who totally just had some bitch trying to ruin his life by accusing him of rape…almost certainly actually did rape her.
Just keep that in mind.
Yeah man, imagine that, bitches don’t be lying.
Can we put this into context? It means that 99.4% of rape allegations are true.
It means that 99.4% of rape allegations are true.
When you read through and learn about those 0.6% who did make false allegations, there are some seriously important things to note. Firstly :
“Furthermore, the report shows that a significant number of these cases involved young, often vulnerable people. About half of the cases involved people aged 21 years old and under, and some involved people with mental health difficulties. In some cases, the person alleged to have made the false report had undoubtedly been the victim of some kind of offence (sic), even if not the one which he or she had reported.”And then, when you get into the case studies you find things like a 14 year old girl sleeping with an 18 year old. When discovered, she claimed the sex was non-consensual in fear of her father’s disapproval, but investigation of texts and emails found that to be untrue. THAT SAID, the 18 year old was found to have a history of pursuing and seducing many very young girls, and once he was counseled he expressed not only regret over his actions, but the knowledge that he waspurposefully picking vulnerable girls who could be easily manipulated into consent.Another case was a married couple, where the wife claimed rape and domestic violence, so the husband was arrested and held. After some contact between the two while he was incarcerated, she went back to him and wanted the charges dropped. It’s okay because she still loves him. When the DA decided to keep going, she suddenly said that she made it up and he never raped her at all.
Further counseling revealed that the allegations were true, but she didn’t want to be without him so she lied about the allegations being false.
I don’t know about you, but this kind of sounds like classic domestic violence, and the kind of patterns you get into after living with an abuser.The point I’m trying to make is that even though there are 0.6% false claims… when you break them down you find that there’s generally a lot of skeevy shit going on, and like the above quote, many of the alleged rape victims are actual victims of other abuses. For some of them, I’m guessing that an allegation of rape was the only way to bring enough attention to their abuse to finally get protection by law enforcement, or enough care from family to be freed from their abusive situations and moved somewhere safe. Some are mentally ill and have been taken advantage of, or are victims of statutory rape because they are not even remotely mature enough to truly consent to a sexual relationship with an adult.
These cases aren’t just as simple as, “some bitch regretted sex and cried rape”.
So a new blog has started called “Is There Rape In It”. Basically, it’s a blog dedicated to listing movies, TV shows, and videos game that have rape in them, so that victims and survivors can avoid triggers.
Since they have just started up, they don’t have full lists yet. So if you are aware of rape in any of those forms of media, please reblog their lists and let them know!
Boost.
