Were the "asocials" and "criminal" prisoners in the concentration camps victims? Apparently, we need to have that discussion again. Hape Kerkeling, the German queer comedian, spoke in Erfurt last week and demanded the ban on the AfD due to the party's relativization of Nazi crimes.

This is a great piece of the inherent limitations of consent education to prevent sexual assault. It is especially true in the Australian context with campaigns such as teach us consent that harmfully framed rape as an issue of misunderstanding or miscommunication (thus removing boys/men’s agency)

Nicole Bedera@nbedera.bsky.social

Yet another brilliant piece by @katemanne.bsky.social. "Education is, in the end, an individualistic and shallow response to a deep and structural problem. And it mistakenly identifies false beliefs rather than bad desires as the problem."

"Before my daughters went to college, their high school offered a self-defense class for $100. Only girls got the email.

"The group chat of 57 fraternity men included messages such as 'free pussy' & asked questions like 'shop still open?' This treatment of women is a culture created over years of 'tradition' & it is what fraternities are built to produce," comments a Cornell student english.elpais.com/opinion/2026...

english.elpais.comCornell, abolish your fraternitiesThe case surrounding the ‘Cornell 7′ is as lurid as it gets; whether or not these men face prosecution, it will not change the structural issue with Greek life

If we are serious about dismantling patriarchy and rape culture, we would stop calling it Cornell 7. It's the Cornell 57. Passive bystanders are a pillar of misogyny. Men must actively intervene in shifting social norms & refuse to participate in rape *culture* Its the Cornell 57, not Cornell 7.

I spoke to @usatoday.com about data on sexual violence at Cornell. Victimization rates are increasing and reporting rates are falling. “Together… those two trendlines tell me that all students, including victims and perpetrators, believe that there is impunity for sexual assault at Cornell.”

usatoday.comCornell rarely expels students in sex assault cases | ExclusiveA third of undergraduate women say they've been sexually assaulted. But on average, Cornell reported expelling just one attacker per year.

I wrote about how the women Epstein and co victimized have been minimized and ignored as individuals even in popular discourse about the very abuse they endured—and how the legal system has punished them and other women, not helped them, for daring to come forward. spitfirenews.com/p/even-the-m...
