People are sharing some really good posts, I’m really just adding my own thoughts to them :)
STUDY: More Than Half Of Black Girls Are Sexually Assaulted -
I FEEL LIKE WE’VE BEEN SAYING THIS… FOREVER. BUT ONE WAS WAS LISTENING. AT ALL…
word! I definitely feel like this needs to be discussed in the black community.
Pedophilia and sexual assault are definitely major elephants in the room in the black community.

As much as I recognise and aware about this topic within the community , the findings should be treated with some caution as the sample size consisted of 300 participants. Nowhere near enough sample size to make claims about entire race. Claims of this will not assist in helping and supporting out girls but will go the other way of demonising black men.
Much offense, but shut the fuck up. You think we’re all speaking just from this article? HA. HAAAAAA. No. Asking for a bigger “sample size” FOH. You are the type of person to read discussion about rape, molestation, and pedophiles which YES are in the Black Community (as well as all communities) and say “let’s not hurt the perpetrators feelings though”.
You’re also assuming it’s only men doing these things. Speaking about solutions to the “hush hush” of sexual assault in an intracommunity basis is helping Black Girls and Black Boys.
It’s this mentality of protecting people no matter what they do that gets people killed. Black Females aren’t second class to Black Men and should not be silenced in order to “protect the black man” like…… No.
SPEAK UP BABY GIRLS AND BABY BOYS.
I saw a post on Facebook that addressed this and added the toxic victim blaming that goes on, how black girls are blamed for being “too fast” and no one is pointing out how grown men are approaching these little girls. I was 11 years old the first time a guy tried to have sex with me and I’m sure there are plenty of other girls with similar stories. I didn’t do anything with him, but if I did, I’m sure I’d be labeled the bad one.
Bigger sample size for the study? It doesn’t get any bigger than an entire community of girls who aren’t being listened to.

Anonymous asked: Geekdom is the only place where socially shunned males can be save and be themselves. So when women, who exclude them outside geek culture, invade those save spaces and force the scene to conform to their wants and rules they leave the men with nowhere to go. Where can they flee? They're backed into a corner. Attacking invading women is not harrassment - it is defense. Women hate socially inept males. Why should they not hate them back when they try to destoy their only sanctuary.
Ok, where to begin with this trainwreck.
Gaming was never yours. Never. It was not designed as a safe space for guys free of women and you have no exclusive rights to the medium in the same way that no gender have exclusive rights to film and television. If women said you were not allowed to read books because that is their safe thing you would think they were ridiculous, you do not own a medium.
Women are not required to want to hang out with you in real life in order to game, that is another bullshit standard you apply to them and not to men. If a guy is a jerk whom you wouldn’t want to hang out with in real life you don’t throw a tantrum.
Women are not a hivemind, we each have our own individual thoughts and feelings and judge you individually.
That being said, women don’t want to hang out with you, not because you’re socially inept, but because you are an entitled asshole who thinks that women owe you their time outside of games in order to be able to play games without hostility.
If men weren’t hostile towards women, who have just as much a right to game as them, and weren’t so hostile towards the concept of fair representation then there would be any changes to the “scene” required, because people would already have a fair and fun experience.
Games are not your sanctuary mate, they are a product medium and never once has it been yours. Get over yourself.
To add.
What if women said that men weren’t allowed to enjoy the things they contribute to geekdom because it’s their “safe space” and, therefore, didn’t want men to invade it? You’d lose out on a lot of gaming, a lot of animation, a lot of comics, a lot of everything that has become a staple to geekdom in general.
Also, would this mean that female characters are just for your enjoyment or are they also invading in on your “territory” because geekdom should only be a boy’s club? I mean is it uncomfortable to play Tomb Raider or Metroid? Bayonetta? Do Chun-Li and Cammy terrify you? Does Wonder Woman make you cringe? All that screentime for Black Widow must’ve been hell. You hated Star Wars, didn’t you? Rey was all up in that. I’d recommend not going anywhere near Sailor Moon.
Naw I’m betting you enjoy the female driven aspects of geekdom, just not the actual women who are a part of it, for some asinine reason of believing they owe you something, as if you were the one courteous enough to let them in when geekdom has always had an open door policy to everyone. And when some woman (or women) didn’t see things your way you declared it to be an invasion on a thing that you don’t own. At all.
But hey, what do I know, I’m just a girl.
Made a fun discovery with my new hair color this morning.
CLODS!
