Blue Amp“A whole class of #politicians, #commentators, & #media #platforms exist to #exploit the resentments that everyday people hold toward the rich & famous. Meanwhile, rates of #SexualHarassment & #SexualAssault—reportedly experienced by 82% of women & 42% of men in the #US in their lifetime—remain as high as they were when the #MeToo movement erupted in 2017. Examining the real reasons for this is less fun—&,for many, less profitable—than imagining that Hollywood is a front for ritualistic sadism.”

Rape, sexual assault, pedophilia
A former French surgeon by the name Joel Le Scouarnec was found guilty of sexual assaulting and raping 299 patients, mostly children, between 1989 and 2014.
Why isn’t this bigger news?
Misogyny in medicine is a huge problem, and this case provides a perfect example.
He was convicted of child pornography in 2005 and yet somehow allowed to continue practicing medicine and operating on children.
He abused them while they were under anesthesia and/or sedated. He kept detailed journals of what he did to them. He even assaulted his own nieces.
Like Gisele Pelicot, many of his victims didn’t know what had been done to them until the police investigation uncovered the proof.
They will carry the scars for the rest of their lives.
He was sentenced to twenty years in prison because that’s the maximum allowed under French law. He will be eligible for parole in 6.
Many of Gisele’s rapists didn’t even serve time.
What are we doing? These were children, and they were abused by someone taking advantage of power and access. Someone they should have been able to trust. Someone who took an oath to do no harm.
As Gisele said, shame must change sides.
Tonight my thoughts and prayers are with those he harmed. They’re with all of us who’ve endured assault at the hands of men who hurt us because our patriarchal society taught them they were OWED access to us. To our bodies. To sex. To any part of us they want.
We do not owe you anything. And we won’t be silent any longer.
We will keep speaking out. We will keep demanding accountability. We will fight for the safety of all women and children and an end to the patriarchy.
We won’t go gently.

Since October 2023, over 60 Palestinian shepherding communities in the West Bank have been displaced, with at least 14 new outposts built on or near their ruins. One violently expelled community — Wadi Al-Siq — faced abuse that included sexual assault, leading to the disbandment of the Israeli army’s “Desert Frontier” unit.

As +972 reported in August 2023, most of the communities in the territory between Ramallah and Jericho, an area of 150,000 dunams, were forced to flee during the previous months as settlers began rapidly constructing herding outposts and violently descending on residents, all with the backing of the Israeli army and state institutions. Now, only two Palestinian communities — M’arajat and Ras Al-Auja — remain in the entire southern Jordan Valley.
