Sexual Assault Educational Resources
This originally lived at Storify, but I am migrating off of their service because they continue to allow it to be used for harassment and show no interest in addressing it.
Please be considerate in that and look for the widely available resources online about what you can do to help survivors and the community.

I’m going to spend some time finding good resources on dealing with these issues and tweet them. Please read them.

Especially please read them before asking survivors to give you the answers. It’s time for some self-education to help them reserve energy.

Shakesville has a “today in rape culture” tag that can help you understand how frequent and horrible this is. http://t.co/EccbJRE8eg

I really don’t recommend reading too many of them in a row though, lest you lose all your faith in humanity.

Schrödinger’s Rapist is a great post about how it feels to be a woman living in a world with rape culture. http://t.co/5gYFZi74e8

I know a lot of guys have a strong negative reaction to that last one. Before you respond, think about that reaction. Sit with it.

Read the other things I’m working on sharing and really evaluate why you’re upset. Rape culture hurts men too.

And on that note, yes I know men are raped too. It’s rarely talked about. That’s another part of rape culture.

See Project Unbreakable, which has 2k+ images of sexual assault survivors w/ posters w/ quotes from their attackers http://t.co/77FiCozCRA

That one should also be taken in small doses. It’s fucking heartbreaking.

Watch this PSA about rape prevention from NZ that I saved ages ago. It’s powerful. http://t.co/Gg5h75acIn

Worth noting as I share this info, I’ve made some of these mistakes too. I really regret saying those things. I’m glad I was called out.

“Meet The Predators” with some really important data about who commits sexual assault and how frequently. http://t.co/C8XlfFpUzB

“First, the stranger-force rape is a small proportion of rapes, and is all but absent from the samples of self-reporters.”

“Second, the sometimes-floated notion that acquaintance rape is simply a mistake about consent, is wrong.”
— bees have flown away (@juliepagano) October 9, 2013
Vast majority of the offenses are being committed by a small group of men, somewhere between 4% and 8% of the population, who do it again..
