NOTE: Below is a REPOST of this Article by Lisa Desjardins, 2016, updated 2019. Very few click on links on Substack, so I have added my commentary to clipped images of Desejardins’ piece. This is not my research or article, I simply want to make sure as many see this as possible.

How many women and girls does a man have to violate, before you give a shit?

How many victims and files must you see, before you believe women and girls?

Or does thinking and behaving like men trick you into believing he will protect you?

Sister, did you care when he sexually violated her?

Sister, did you care when he sexually violated her?

Sister, did you care when he sexually violated her?

Sister, did you care when he sexually violated her?

Sister, did you care when he sexually violated her?

Sister, did you care when he sexually violated her?

Sister, did you care when he sexually violated the women and girls not listed here? The ones who couldn’t report?

Sister, how many women and girls must a man harass, rape, beat, and murder before you stop being a hypocrite? Did you turn your head and ignore all of this man’s sexism, racism, and ableism? Did you ignore his decades upon decades of violence against women and girls? Your actions show that you don’t stand with ALL women who are harmed by violent men. One day you might realize you’ve been duped once again by male parasitism. I give you grace, because we all breath in these toxic fumes. But I just can’t trust your actions. I’m not safe around a woman who picks and chooses which women and girls matter. I’m not safe around a woman who picks male culture thinking above building her own thoughts. I’m not safe around a woman who denigrates other women and girls, whenever it suits her purposes.
