It reminds me of this quote from the person who called every single person in Maxwell’s black book: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

the real taboo is talking about it. the real life-ruining übercrime is naming the wrong sexual predator. the real punishment is reserved for those who don't get the message about sexual abuse being a wink-nudge no-big-deal that hysterical hormonal prudish feminists are always overreacting to

there's at least one example on this very list i was scared to mention because of how severe and traumatizing the abuse apologist backlash *from the left* has been in the past for pointing it out. if you name the wrong sexual predator, the punishment is swift, severe, and cruel.

we live in rape culture. children are not, despite a powerful discourse of "taboo sex crimes," exempt. they are the most powerless class of people in a social system were power us expressed and practiced through sexual violence. this is the norm, not the exception.

nothing changes. every single time without fail, when we're done being selectively outraged about a high profile case that invariably took years of being an open wink-wink secret to ever become a problem we all default back to the patriarchal mythology of the persecuted criminalized pedophile

the fact that child marriage is literally legal in over 40 US states and also all over the globe, jimmy saville, roy moore, brett kavanaugh (honorary mention for literally being in the epstein emails), US military sexual violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, jerry sandusky, r kelly, it never ends

this is demonstrated again and again and AGAIN every single time there is another sexual abuse "scandal." the catholic church, the boy scouts, the southern baptist convention, USA gymnastics, UN peacekeapers, sex tourism in asia & SWANA by euro & USian elites, the french petition & its signatories

And yes actually you should be ashamed of the Union Jack. The butcher's apron. You should be ashamed of it and embarrased by it. It is good only for kindling.
