It's SA (Sexual Assault) Awareness Month (April)

So I want to talk about my experience and what sexual assault is.

!! if anyone you know, or you have been sexually assaulted please call 0808-500-2222 !!

SA is SA, no matter what. It is never your fault.

So, what is SA? SA is when someone has touched you in sexual ways without CONSENT. Consent is important. Consent means giving permission to do something. Consent is good in this situation, as it gives the person a green light on sexual activity. Not giving consent does NOT mean you should go ahead with sexual activity with that person.

798,000 women and 285,000 men get SA'D. SA is SA no matter what gender, age, identity, sex, anything. SA IS SA. SA can ruin someone's life, it can make them feel unsafe around certain acts or people, it can make them feel unsafe around family members, it can make them feel suicidal, it can make them do things they never thought they would.

This month is a month to SUPPORT victims, to make them feel WORTHY, to HELP them. SA SHOULD NOT BE NORMALIZED.

I want to talk about my experience, as I haven't had the chance to tell a lot of people and I feel like this would educate people. (especially on Tumblr most of u suck ngl)

When I was younger, I was getting SA'D by my father and my ex without realising it.

My Father

my father was touching my inner thigh (getting closer to that area.), touching my chest area. I did ask him to stop, and I was obviously uncomfortable. But he never stopped, he has stopped now but I've cut as much contact as I can with him. No one believed me when I said my dad was doing that to me. I was 6-13.

My Ex

I never liked her, she made me uncomfortable. She always rested on my chest when I was uncomfortable with it, and she forced me to let her sit on my lap. She is the main reason for my trust issues, as I'm not entirely sure on if she even loved me or not. I felt uncomfortable around her yet I liked the attention she gave me. I was 12.

This is to educate people, please do not ask photos of me if you're going to send this post to me. You will get blocked. Go look at my other posts for that.

Episode 3 as a whole is a punch to the gut, but I believe one of the most important parts of it to me was the way they perfectly portrayed how violent men and boys will take advantage of “not perfect” victims to try and rid themselves of any responsibility for their violence.

Even at 13, Jamie is aware of that, subconsciously or not. He uses words like “bitch” and “slut” to refer to a 13 year old girl—a child he killed. He brings up her leaked photos again and again, talks about her comments and her treatment of him as if any of that should exempt him from his crime.

He already knows he has an advantage, for being a boy and having hurt a girl who’s not perfect and “pure”. The show drives this point home when that store’s employee tells Jamie’s dad he suports his son and talks badly about Katie. He says there’s more people who agree with him.

Because there are. The whole time, Jamie brings up “Katie was flat”, “she took nude pictures”, “she rejected me”, “she bullied me”. He still tries to paint her as the villain when he was the one who admitted he only pursued her because she was fragile and he wanted to take advantage of that.

He even claps himself in the back because he didn’t sexually assault her after he murdered her, as if that makes him a good person. (When he did in fact commit a sexual crime by looking at her naked pictures without her consent).

I think that’s the most vital part of the show. The way Jamie can’t comprehend what he did was wrong because he doesn’t view Katie as a person, not even in death. That’s his understanding.

i find it rather ironic how people are reducing the adolescence mini series to "was jamie a sociopath" and "did katie bully jamie", when the whole point of the show is how the manosphere and the alt-right pipeline is so violent and omnipresent on social medias that a 13 year-old boy who loved to draw and learn about the industrial revolution ends up thinking that women are worthless pieces of meat and that he's "one of the good ones" because he didn't rape katie, he just stabbed her to death.

edit: this post is NOT terf friendly!!!! im a transsexual dyke boygirl get out get out get out

i think about this a hundred times a day

how ironic that one of the main criticisms of the school system in adolescence is how teachers would just stick on a video for the kids to watch instead of actually teaching them, and now all the talk from the government is about how adolescence should be mandatory viewing in schools. like are you actually gonna teach them anything? are you gonna do anything to deradicalise boys? are you gonna invest in youth and mental health services? are you gonna pay teachers the money they deserve? are you gonna do anything about the hate speech that gets spread online? are you gonna make sure parents are better supported and actually have time to spend with their children? no? i mean why would you do any of that when you can just stick on a tv show. jesus christ

part i/?

someone pls make a fic or drabbles about this

“For centuries, dance had been used at the Jedi Temple to facilitate rhythm and timing. On any world of the galaxy, when one found males or dominant females dancing, it was often a warrior art in disguise.”

-Star Wars: The Cestus Deception, Pg 148

Apparently Jedi were good dancers? What do you guys think?

Fanfiction is becoming people’s primary form of entertainment right now because most media right now is so cheap, bland, recycled, and sponsored by people who love money more than the source material. Fanfiction is written for free by people who genuinely love what they’re writing about. That’s why it’s better. That’s why it’s more satisfying. Fanfiction is a home-cooked meal made for yourself and for your friends. Media today is junky fast food spoiled by too much grease and the knowledge that the people producing it are being criminally mistreated and underpaid.
