This is amazing
Rape has become endemic in South Africa, so a medical technician named Sonette Ehlers developed a product that immediately gathered national attention there. Ehlers had never forgotten a rape victim telling her forlornly, “If only I had teeth down there.”
Some time afterward, a man came into the hospital where Ehlers works in excruciating pain because his penis was stuck in his pants zipper.
Ehlers merged those images and came up with a product she called Rapex. It resembles a tube, with barbs inside. The woman inserts it like a tampon, with an applicator, and any man who tries to rape the woman impales himself on the barbs and must go to an emergency room to have the Rapex removed.
When critics complained that it was a medieval punishment, Ehlers replied tersely, “A medieval device for a medieval deed.”

Hello.
I am a 23 year old Indian muslim lesbian living with my homophobic and abusive parents. I came out to my parents a couple of months back in July and it has been painful ever since. I made a post about this before but the situation has only gotten worse ever since.
My father has started hitting me physically and my mother just walks out of the room whenever that happens. He keeps blaming me for "being like this" and tells me how I don't deserve to live. I had my laptop taken from me and I have to sneak into their room in the mornings when they are asleep to use my phone. It is currently 9AM and I am shaking in fear of being caught. I cannot call the cops because I live in a homophobic society and they may agree with his actions.
I know that you may not care about a stranger on the Internet at all but I am begging you to help me in any way possible. A reblog works and so does a single cent. I need to leave this place.

Just a reminder that Free Palestine doesn't end with a ceasefire.
Gaza is in rubble and will have to be rebuilt. Gaza would still be a concentration camp where there's a lack of clean water and food allowed in. The west bank would still be filled with settlers and settler based violence.
Gaza had the mean age of 18 before this attack. People lost their everything, you don't just recover from that.
A Free Palestine ends once there is a true ceasefire. One the apartheid "state" of israel is no more.
Once Palestinians can go from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, Palestine will truly be free. Edit: Here are some learning sources
