EVERYONE

EVERYONE

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS

what the actual FUCK

I wish I could even be shocked

Just gonna keep reblogging this

fuck

this is the biggest crock of fucking bullshit i’ve ever fucking seen FUCK

“but why didn’t you go to the hospital?”

Yeah this is sinful as fuck.

You do not pay for sexual assault treatment.

What happened to you is not your fault and YOU DO NOT PAY FOR IT.

The Violence Against Women Act should pay for the majority of your treatment.

If you get a bill for your treatment TAKE IT BACK TO THE HOSPITAL, TO THE BILLING DEPARTMENT, AND ASK THEM HOW TO FILE A CLAIM.

Also:

In the event of a sexual assault the hospital should contact your local rape crisis center. An advocate will come to the hospital to help you through the process of collecting evidence and literally hold your hand through treatment. I’ve worked with lovely people from the Julie Valentine Center frequently. They’re amazing people.

They’ll also bring you clothes and basic toiletries. 

ASK THEM ABOUT ASSISTANCE. If you’re worried about miscellaneous costs of your treatment the Rape Crisis Advocate can help you find funds (Federal or donated) to help pay for it.

From the Mouths of Rapist: The Lyrics to Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines

i think this is the most powerful photoset i’ve ever seen on tumblr.

Reblogging until you understand why this song is so vile

Dear invisible men,
Who tweet women endless threats of rape,
Who are you?
Are you married fathers of two?
Are you their work colleagues?
Are you teens crowded round a friend’s phone in a canteen or KFC?
Are you pausing between texting your first love,
To go on Twitter, become an egg,
And post fresh hate?
Where are you as you type this?
Is your girlfriend asleep in your arms,
As you peer over her shoulder at your phone?
How did this become your sport?
You’re not proud of what you do;
If you were, you would not care who knew.
This is strange:
You proudly announce pride in your prejudice
But your anonymity suggests your shame.
There is such an anger in you
That it cannot be clothed with your banter, your jokes.
I pity the mirror that has to reflect your misery,
Because it must see so much.
Because the women are everywhere now,
Aren’t they?
They weren’t just content in your beds, or in your lads’ magazines,
Or in your clubs,
Or even in the eyes and hearts of other men;
The women are top of your classrooms, in your boardrooms and your DJ booths,
Not needing you to improve.
Swiftly, they are sweeping you from every entitled stage,
And the only place you feel safe
Is in one-hundred and forty characters of rage.
I wonder, if you tweet abuse, you will ever pause
To think that, while you promise terror,
The greatest fear is yours.
