Yet another friendly reminder that Neil Gaiman admitted to what those women said. Not to all the details, of course--those who do such things rarely admit them outright--but to having done it.

He claims it was consensual and yet the circumstances prevented it from being so: an employee cannot consent to her boss. A tenant cannot consent to her landlord. A live-in nanny or maid, who is thus both a tenant and an employee, cannot consent to the man whom she depends on for work and shelter. Yet Gaiman admits to relations with at least two women in those exact circumstances.

One was very young and was known to have mental illness. One was recently divorced with young children and was in a lot of emotional turmoil. Those latter circumstances don't eliminate the possibility for consent but they can make it dubious and they certainly don't make things better on Neil Gaiman's part. I don't think there's a single woman who's come forward who he claims he never met or slept with.

And how many of these women did he make sign NDAs? Why would you feel the need to make someone sign an NDA over a consensual encounter or relationship? Why would you pay them off? That to me says he isn't simply ignorant of what constitutes consent (and even if he was it wouldn't make him any less of a vile human being); he's aware and was doing damage control to protect his reputation.

The fact he's now suing the woman who was a divorced mother with young children (who he also kicked out when she resisted his advances, so the fear of that happening was absolutely warranted) is purely revenge, and also riding on the success of Depp.

He did it. Pure and simple.

i think its kind of crazy how it was revealed that there are bot farms that were used against amber heard with evidence that it has strong ties to the saudi arabian government and that reveal doesn’t get explored enough.

Tatiana the tiger is my Killdozer. She broke out of her enclosure to kill one young man and maul two others. She went to extreme lengths to scale her enclosure’s wall — concrete chips were embedded in her paws.

She did so bc those 3 sadists were harassing her and the other tigers:

After Tatiana killed Sousa, she left his corpse to follow the blood trail of the other 2:

This shit was PERSONAL for her, they deserved it, and she should still be alive.

rape is crime against humanity, and every rapist should be killed. I don't mind if it's your boyfriend or friend or co-worker or father or brother, if they are rapists, they deserve death.

I think fandom has rotted the brains of a lot of women on this site and has turned them into pseudo MRA’s like they’re so enamoured with fictional men that it’s blurred the lines into reality. “uwu men are soft smol good boys they’re harmless. Global violent crime stats are a psyop 🥺” type shit. Yeah Castiel and Bucky might not hurt you but the irl man that’s been memorizing your daily public transit route absolutely will. Get your head back in the game, ladies!

Read the original study here

"In total, the Ypres city accounts for 1488–1489 record 38 named women and numerous anonymous ones engaged in intelligence activities. Some, like Josine Hellebout, were highly active, receiving payments for up to eleven separate missions. Others appear only once but often undertook significant and risky journeys—on foot, unarmed, and often alone or in pairs.

A key advantage women had was their invisibility. Because they were not suspected of military or political activity, they could pass through city gates, enemy lines, and military encampments with less scrutiny than men. This phenomenon, Demets argues, was both practical and tactical: “Women could more easily move in and out of cities or around military camps, acting as trustworthy intermediaries between opposing sides.”

But these were not simply passive messengers. Many women were paid not just to carry letters, but to “to find out about the enemies’” or “ascertain the situation” in enemy-held territory. During the Siege of Ghent and subsequent campaigns in 1488, for instance, Tuenine Spepers was sent to Damme and Aardenburg to “gather news about the King of the Romans [Maximilian of Austria]” and to Diksmuide to report on the local situation. Other women, such as Crispine Sroys and Beatrice Cambiers, carried out missions directly to military commanders or towns under threat, often accompanied by unnamed female companions, possibly locals or other camp followers.

The growing professionalization of this network became particularly evident in 1489, when the war intensified. “By 1489, women increasingly emerged as professionals within the medieval intelligence service in Ypres, as records show that the same individuals were repeatedly paid a ‘salary’,” Demets explains."

i hate the sentiment that female singers have no other choice but to wear lingerie onstage "express their sexuality" to get ahead in the industry because i cant help but compare it to female musicians of the 90s. like jagged little pill by alanis morissette was one of the biggest albums of the 90s and this is how she dressed while preforming it.

or tori amos, tracy chapman, fiona apple, sinead o' connor, whitney houston, and courtney love... like im not saying theyre not sexy im not anti-being sexy. but they wear reasonable comfortable clothing and focus on their music. and they have lasting fanbases and some are still touring today.

I wish more people would acknowledge how many little girls the brony fandom absolutely scarred. The misogyny it takes to misappropriate a cartoon about colourful talking horses for your sexual gratification as a grown man, flooding the search results for said show with porn that any child would be able to find even with safesearch on, normalising pedophilia within the fandom by not reporting them out of fear of the conservatives being right. It's disgusting, I will never forgive the brony fandom for what it did to the internet.

Yesterday news broke about 3 missing girls who had disappeared during a “planned” visit. It was obvious to everyone this meant it was court required. The father is homeless, but here’s everyone blaming mom anyway…

Anyway the girls have been found dead, father is missing, and I’m sure we’ll keep talking about how men are discriminated against when it comes to custody battles and divorce.
