Not-for-profit service Waratah, in Bunbury, says 35 boys and eight men sought help from the service last financial year — about double the figures from 2021.

The Survivors and Mates Support Network (SAMSN), a national charity working with male survivors of child sexual abuse, reported a waiting list of 200 men for its support groups.

The biggest myth I still see propagated on college campuses is that Title IX is a resource to protect victims of sexual harassment and assault. Every single time I have seen a case go to them they end up providing cover for the accused, prolong the trauma/suffering of the victim, and prioritize protecting the university’s image.

Every. Single. Goddamn. Time.

"there’s a collective tendency to assume that society gets progressively better, more equal; but every day brings another grim reminder that we’re living through an epidemic of misogyny. If it is hard for adults to process that reality, it is even worse for children. … exposure to sexist abuse is crippling girls’ self-esteem. But let’s not forget that boys are also navigating their way through this cesspit."

"Over the course of their inquiry, investigators from Guidepost Solutions, the firm hired by the SBC, had heard about Hunt’s misconduct and learned that the woman involved in the incident — who has not been named publicly — described it as a sexual assault and as nonconsensual."

In the light of the documentary/article/revelations about [INSERT NAME OF LATEST PREDATORY MAN], I have made note of a few phrases that I’d love to never hear again in the context of rape and sexual assault.

“Shocked and appalled”
"We should teach consent classes!"
"I dated him/married him/met him once in a Costco and he didn’t rape ME!"

I am really upset to see so many #women of my #generationX jumping to the defense of #RussellBrand, claiming 'these women knew exactly what they were letting themselves in for". Nevermind being a living proof of how slowly #feminism has progressed, they display an understanding of #sexualassault & #consent BELOW the very #legal definitions, ignoring it ain't just PIV (penis in vagina) or not having awakened to marital r*pe law (voted in 1991 in the UK).

#Universities, whatever some people think, are essentially microcosms of society (I know I worked as a Uni academic for 25 yrs), so if there is a accelerating problem of reported (and unreported) #sexualassault on campus, you can be sure this mirrors the situation in wider society...

Something going very wrong in #sexual conduct in this country which while expressed in worries about #toxicmasculinity is by no means limited to that (relatively easily) recognisable group!

Russell Brand has been credibly accused of rape, sexual assault and abuse. Well researched over several years, reporters have interviewed 100s of sources who knew him (GFs, family, colleagues, employees) & read countless private emails, texts, medical and therapists’ notes.

Brand denies all charges suggesting this has to do with his being right-wing or a conspiracy theorist rather than his own actions.

I am aghast.

Via the Religious Exemption Accountability Project:
"The U.S. Department of Education just granted Baylor University a Title IX exemption for sexual harassment.

This is the first time that a university has requested a religious exemption to permit sexual harassment and the first time the DoED has granted such a request."

#SexualAssault #ReligiousExemptions #Theocracy

Thread:
https://twitter.com/REAP_LGBTQ/status/1689720255847776256

REAP's lawsuit:
https://www.thereap.org/lawsuit

from the Religious Exemption Accountability project, on twitter:

In a 2021 letter to the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights, Baylor University requested a religious exemption for the following three claims:

-- The university's alleged decision to deny applications for an official charter for Gamma Alpha Upsilon
-- The university's alleged decision to pressure university media not to report on LGBTQ events and protests in September and October 2021
-- The university's alleged response to notice that students were subjected to harassment based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

They were granted an exemption for all claims, including the claim about sexual harassment.
Tweets by the Religious Exemption Accountability Project:

Baylor university specifically sought assurance that the university and its students could not be accused of sexual harassment for their behavior towards LGBTQIA+ people.

Your religious tenets should not require you to act in a way that may be classified as sexual harassment.

Baylor wrote:
"The university does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity or expression per se, but it does regulate conduct that is inconsistent with the religious values and beliefs that are integral to its Christian faith and mission"

Evidently, controlling people's ability to live into their sexuality, gender identity and/or gender expression does not qualify as discrimination in the eyes of Baylor university. And neither does sexual harassment.

The outrage is not only that Baylor university would go so far as to request a religious exemption to sexual harassment, but that the Department of Education would grant their request.

The study, which undertook the largest analysis of sexual offence trial transcripts in the state in 27 years, found many of the procedural reforms that started in the 1980s to improve the experience of sexual violence victim-survivors in the criminal justice system were working.

...successive reforms had not tackled what “complainants often find so distressing in these matters”.

“That includes the expectation for people to conform to [the idea of] a ‘true’ victim, that they will immediately make a complaint, that they will do their utmost to tell their story no matter the audience and in exactly the same fashion on each occasion,”
