You spelt women wrong a couple times.

very droll read

The quality of the pdf seems fine to me. Contents are chilling. Gripping writing about horrible experiences.

My initial response to my first readthrough was that this really reinforces the need to stop protecting rapists. But the writings also show how cultural tolerance of more general types of physical abuse-emotional assaults provides a social camouflage for rape. This side seems to complement the other camouflaging aspect of rapist men being able to come across as 'sweet' or 'private' in the complex interplay of activist, social and family circles.

The first read has given me a lot to think about, trying to imagine how I might act if this dominance happened in my close personal life, as contrasted with hearing about rape incidents but only being able to directly engage with follow on events and different accounts from people I don't know very well. But then again, maybe this isn't actually a contrast at all. Just two different versions of the same fearful reason not to talk about things that must be talked about to stop them propagating under the cover of other talk.

I've had some problems trying to get the pdf to download - is it just me, or has anyone else found it won't play?

Hi. Couldn't download the pdf. Wondering if the article against all forms of gender violence covers physical/ emotional/ verbal/ social violence against men by womyn?

Thanks AK A-FEMs for putting this together. A very powerful read. But not overwhelming - focused on challenging that rape-culture that still permeates our society.

love and liberation!
