This is a disgusting display of misogyny, rape culture and white male privilege.
I really don’t want to hear anyone talking about how hard us men have it lately, or how the #MeToo movement is allegedly ruining “good” men’s lives, and has gone too far. If anything, it hasn’t gone far enough.
Judges, juries, police and the entire criminal justice system are openly hostile to survivors of rape and sexual assault.
Rapists are literally getting off scott free because people are worried that “their lives will be ruined,” but no one is concerned for the survivor’s life that was ruined. Nobody should have to be a survivor to understand why things need to change.
This is a congratulations to every writer who put some work into their WIP today
You wrote down some words? Congratulations!
You came up with the way to solve that plot point? Congratulations!
You figured out a character’s motivation? Congratulations!
I don’t care if you wrote 2 words or 2 thousand. I don’t care if you’ve been working on this story for a few days or a few years (or even a few decades).
You got something done today? Congratulations, I’m proud of you, and I hope tomorrow you can do some more
