As a human rights lawyer representing survivors of domestic and sexual violence for 15+ years, I've learned a hard truth.

@QasimRashid Ok, I need to know what to with this information.
I am a male and have never hurt a woman.
Do you want me to self quarantine for the rest of my life in order to make women feel safe?people are wild.
we are not asking you to hold yourself responsible for what other men do.you could talk to friends and family about it. you could support the women you know, so they know you are a man who. is aware of the problem. you could serve as a positive mentor to young men thru volunteer work, or by not being a toxic presence around women.
you do not need to resort to histrionic threats of self-flagellation in order to try to help correct this problem.

As a human rights lawyer representing survivors of domestic and sexual violence for 15+ years, I've learned a hard truth. One that will make some men uncomfortable. This is good. Discomfort is the beginning of accountability.
Women are not safe around men. This is a documented, data-driven, empirically supported fact our society has spent generations refusing to confront. Let's Address This.
the number one cause of death for pregnant women in the US is homicide. it's been that way for years.
truly, domestic violence is a massive problem that cuts across all sectors of US society

@jonesmurphy @QasimRashid What's your point? All women deserve it because 8% of them make poor choices?

uhhhh did you even bother looking at my profile before you just Nazijacketed a Jewish person or
@YKantRachelRead @jonesmurphy@mastodon.social @QasimRashid I suspect he said that because, not despite, checking your bio. I saw that and thought "fuck this guy, blocked"

@QasimRashid I'm glad you posted this and I'm also pissed that women have been saying this all along and no one listens to us
Most women learn the hard truth early on, that men can't be trusted not entirely. If you're not a man or perceived as a man, you're in danger. Even men in your family are not safe
Anyone reading this that replies with a variation of 'not all men' will be blocked with no reply. Instead of whining maybe go do something useful like tell your man buddies to stop harming women -
@YKantRachelRead @QasimRashid yeah, it's completely off topic. Sorry you had to deal with that fool

@QasimRashid
Another example of Qasim's pathetic engagement farming. The capitalist system, which he will never address, is inherently sexist and the hierarchy requires someone to be picked on who's considered lower on the pecking order. Women and minorities have conveniently always been in this catagory.
The USSR-Communist Russia-which everyone on mastodon vilifies with ignorant Russophobia, always considered women as equals and important. That's why the US goal has been to destroy Russia. -

Same things you do any time you learn about human horribleness:
• sit with it for a while, and take time to grieve both the victims and your own lost innocence as needed
• consult family and close friends about it, to see if/how you can improve your own behaviors
• remain aware of it, and keep it in mind when interacting with others
• leverage your own privileges to intervene if/when you see it happening in the real world -

@QasimRashid The picture is so dire.
I don’t know what to do, except raising my sons to respect everyone equally, and raising my daughters to be comfortable with enforcing their limits.

@billjryan @QasimRashid all men benefit from male supremacy, and one of male supremacy's main enforcement arms is violence against women. so, yes, all men.

@QasimRashid The best thing a woman can do if she wants to live a long and healthy life is to stay single. We can't choose to have male relatives or not, but we *can* choose to have a partner - or not.

@steff seriously, that's like, not even historically accurate. women in the USSR were nominally equal to men under the law, but in practice they were expected to work full-time jobs in addition to the uncompensated "women's work" of maintaining a household and raising children.
