The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing.

I am calling on y’all to take a deep breath and listen to women for once. There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s never the very minute a woman speaks up.

Men reacting to intentionally inflammatory bear meme is an affront to women apparently

*”Men telling women to say their experiences in a less antagonistic way is an affront to women.” FTFY

I am absolutely with you in agreeing that the bear meme is inflammatory. But this post is about women who are telling their stories about being SA’d and men dogpiling telling them to shut up. A very different matter that I haven’t seen in any other community.

This post might not be about you, but it is about a real thing that happened/is happening. Take a beat to internalize that :)
