When survivors speak out, they're met with disbelief, victim-blaming, and ridicule. They're accused of lying for attention or money, as though anyone would willingly subject themselves to the public scrutiny, trauma, and endless attacks that come with speaking out. Meanwhile, the abuser is shielded by fame, power, and a culture that refuses to hold men accountable for their violence. This is why so many survivors stay silent. This is why change feels so far away. Until we stop defending abusers and start believing survivors, the cycle will continue, and justice will remain out of reach for far too many. For all survivors. For the future. #nikitahand #womensafety #mybodymychoice #saam #feminism
This is deeply disturbing. A German investigation has revealed Telegram groups with as many as 70,000 members sharing advice on how to sedate and sexually assault women. These groups operate across countries, exposing the widespread and coordinated nature of male violence against women. #mybodymychoice #feminism #womendeservebetter #endvaw #saam #feministe #giselepelicot
Picture this: You’re in the middle of a thoughtful, well-researched explanation about the wage gap—breaking down the systemic inequalities, the barriers women face in advancing their careers, and the undeniable biases baked into hiring and promotion processes. You’re citing studies, sharing real-world examples, and, frankly, doing a better job than most college lectures on the topic. And then, out of nowhere, he hits you with: “Actually, women just choose lower-paying jobs.” That moment when your brain short-circuits from the sheer oversimplification of decades of economic inequality is what this meme captures perfectly. It’s not just about the absurdity of the comment—it’s about the exhaustion that comes from having to explain, yet again, that it’s not about “choices” but about limited options in a system designed to keep inequality alive. Because if it were as simple as “choosing higher-paying jobs,” wouldn’t women, who statistically outperform men in education and are entering the workforce in greater numbers, already be paid equally? This is about structural barriers, not personal decisions. The audacity isn’t just in the mansplaining—it’s in reducing a complex, multifaceted issue to a single, dismissive sentence. This meme is for anyone who’s ever been in that exact position. #genderwagegap #gendergap #equality #genderequality #economy

An outdated and unethical study measuring the ‘attractiveness’ of women with endometriosis sparks outrage and is finally retracted after seven years. The study, originally published in 2013, retracted in 2020, faced widespread criticism for its questionable ethics and lack of scientific value. Women deserve better! #equality #endometriosis #periodpain #paingap #medicalsexism
