#MeToo islam: des lanceurs d’alerte menacés
Pour avoir relayé des témoignages de #ViolencesSexistesEtSexuelles qui auraient été commises par des #imams connus sur les réseaux sociaux, Amin et Loubna ont été la cible d’une cabale numérique. Nous vous racontons leur histoire.
"That dream fell apart pretty quickly and the backlash was astonishingly potent. The cries of ‘woke’ and ‘cancel culture’ were deafening. Women have always been accused of lying about assault and rape to punish men. The legal system has made it near-impossible for victims to face justice. What was unexpected was the collective virulence and well-monied responses to ensuring that victims would forever be terrified to speak up."

Content warning Rape, rape culture
Growing up - I was taught that I had to protect myself to ensure I wasn’t assaulted by a man.
Lessons included:
- Guard your drink at all times
- Don’t walk alone at night
- Don’t dress provocatively
- Don’t call attention to yourself
- Don’t wear too much makeup
- Hold your keys between your knuckles if walking alone
- Don’t listen to music/have headphones in when walking alone
- Don’t get too drunk
- Don’t be alone with the ‘wrong man’ (how are we supposed to know who that is?’
- Don’t encourage bad behaviour
And perhaps the worst of all…
DON’T LEAD MEN ON.
Can we stop this please? It’s 2024… we aren’t responsible for men assaulting women. It’s not our job to ensure we aren’t ‘sending the wrong signals’. No woman sends a signal saying she WANTS to be raped. It just doesn’t happen.
If I failed to do everything listed above and was assaulted - it’s still not my fault. It’s the fault of the man who assaulted me. Full stop. Please read that again if you don’t understand.
We spend so much time teaching women how to protect themselves from rape - and almost no time teaching men NOT to rape.
It needs to change - and I’m going to keep speaking out until women are safe. Note that I didn’t say until women FEEL safe - because this isn’t about feelings. We ARE NOT safe.
To be perfectly clear - there’s nothing wrong with having situational awareness or knowing self defence. The problem is the expectation that women be the ones to prevent their own rape.
Moreover - even if you do everything on that list - it still doesn’t guarantee you won’t be harmed.
One need not look further than the horrifying case of Gisele Pelicot - who’s husband of FIFTY YEARS - who she believed was a “good man” - spent a decade drugging her and inviting men to their home to rape her while she was unconscious.
No amount of dressing down, lack of makeup or situational awareness woild have prevented that. 80+ men chose to rape her - likely because they didn’t think they would ever get caught.
It’s time to say enough is enough. Stop putting the shame and the blame on victims and start blaming the perpetrators.
As Gisele said: “Shame must change sides.”

L’antiféminisme prospère en librairie
Sous couvert d’alimenter la réflexion autour de #MeToo, plusieurs ouvrages remettant en cause ce mouvement d’émancipation ont récemment été publiés. Un phénomène qui en dit aussi long sur les auteurs de ces #livres que sur le milieu de l’#édition, qui choisit de les porter dans le débat public.

@euklidiadas #Cuéntalo fue el hashtag que lanzó la periodista Cristina Fallarás para invitarnos a que contáramos nuestras historias de agresiones sexuales. Fue unos meses después del #MeToo, en 2018. Cientos de miles de mujeres de España y América Latina publicamos testimonios en Twitter y a veces se usa para etiquetar nuevos casos que van saliendo.
Y ahora en serio, tíos, para cuando pase esta tormenta, ¿estáis ya preparando la reunión con vuestros colegas en la que vais a pensar maneras de haceros cargo? Hablarlo para ver cómo intervenir cuando veis algo, qué hacer si dudáis de cómo os comportasteis en el pasado, cómo hacer que las mujeres a vuestro alrededor sientan que pueden contar con vuestro apoyo, etc.
Necesitamos que os impliquéis más allá del lamento. Hace ya SIETE años que empezó #MeToo / #Cuéntalo y aquí estamos esperando.

Ein Interview mit der Journalistin Juliane Löffler, die wohl als herausragende #MeToo-Expertin gelten kann und unter anderem sehr interessante Einblicke in ihre journalistische Arbeit zu diesem Thema gibt.

Meta-Bemerkung Re #Frauenalltag: Ich finde es ja super, wenn so ein Hashtag sich hier verbreitet, trended, geteilt und diskutiert wird, weil genau das war früher die Stärke bzw. Macht von Twitter. #MeToo begann so und wurde zur Bewegung, ebenfalls wichtig war es für #fff und #IchbinHanna. Dass hier solche Mechanismen einsetzen, ist für mich ein Zeichen, dass Mastodon auch in die Richtung relevant werden könnte, und ich begrüße das ausdrücklich.
I was recently called a misandrist for the first time in my life. Why? Because I told a man that men needed to “behave better”. He screamed “not all men!” At me and then demanded I show more deference and acknowledgement that there are “good guys out there”.
This was someone I considered a friend - so I tried to explain that of course there are good guys - but we don’t know who they are. We have to approach EVERY man with caution because of the constant threat of rape and abuse.
I explained that’s why we say men have privilege - because they don’t have to move through life with that constant threat. They don’t have to be on guard ALL the time. They aren’t judged by what they wear, how many kids they have, how much they drink or how late they were out at night.
He …

He proceeded to school me that he in fact experienced No benefit from being a man. He genuinely could not comprehend that I wasn’t saying he didn’t work hard or earn whatever he had - just that it would have been HARDER had he been a woman or marginalized in another way.
Nope. I was told I hate men and that we could no longer be friends.
guys - please don’t do this. I kept my cool and tried to gently explain where I was coming from only to get berated and repeatedly told that if I didn’t do exactly as he wanted - the friendship would be cut off.
This dude proved my point and couldn’t even see it.
We KNOW it’s not all men - but it’s too many men. And we DON’T know who the safe ones are.
I’m debating writing an article about this - especially considering disabled women are far more likely to experience abuse. I’m just not sure it “fits” with Disabled Ginger. Though reproductive health is certainly something I will be diving in to.
Thoughts? Is it too far removed from my normal topics?

Seguir el #metoo mediático político español está siendo más estresante que querer verse todo lo de Marvel y Star Wars en un año de suscripción a Disney Plus.
“Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood mogul whose alleged sexual misconduct fueled the #MeToo movement and who was recently indicted on new charges, has chronic myeloid leukemia, two sources told NBC News.
The sources added that Weinstein is currently undergoing treatment while in prison at Rikers Island in New York. Chronic myeloid leukemia is an uncommon form of cancer of the bone marrow, according to the Mayo Clinic” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/harvey-weinstein-diagnosed-chronic-myeloid-leukemia-sources-say-rcna176519
