Broadwaybabyto<p>Guy from “not all men” brigade asks me how he can be a better ally. </p><p>Me: “If you see a woman being harmed - speak up. Stand up. Help her.”</p><p>Him: “No that might not end well for me.”</p><p>It NEVER ends well for us. We don’t get a “choice” to walk away. </p><p>If you’re going to CHOOSE silence in real life - if you’re turning away when you know someone is being hurt - the bare minimum you can do is not inject yourself into conversations to yell over us. </p><p>You want to be silent - be silent. And consider how you’re proving our point.<br><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misogyny</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>patriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>discrimination</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/NotAllMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotAllMen</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/notallmenbutenoughofthem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notallmenbutenoughofthem</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/giselepelicot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>giselepelicot</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/mercigisele" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mercigisele</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/rapeculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rapeculture</span></a></p>
Broadwaybabyto<p>“Now is not the time to shout “not all men” and demand we give you props for not being abusive.

Broadwaybabyto<p>The verdicts are expected tomorrow in the Gisele Pelicot trial - a horrific case which has shaken most of us to our core. </p><p>Its served as a painful reminder of how much damage misogyny, patriarchy and rape culture can do. </p><p>The case is a stunning example of why “not all men” rings hollow and why women are angry, fed up and scared. </p><p>Gisele was betrayed by those she trusted the most. Her husband of fifty years spent a decade drugging her and inviting men to their home to rape her while she was unconscious. </p><p>There's certainly no lack of villains in this story. From the 80+ men who assaulted her, to the husband and his disgusting betrayal, to the unknown number of men who declined to assault her but also neglected to get her help. </p><p>My article focuses on a piece of the story that hasn't received as much attention as I feel it deserves - the role her medical team played in what happened to her. </p><p>The way in which medical misogyny can and does harm us and the various ways in which disabled individuals are at increased risk. </p><p>We should all be outraged at what happened to Gisele - and what happens to many women every single day. Shame must change sides. </p><p>I hope tomorrow's verdict sees justice done - but if it doesn't - I ask everyone to raise their voice in opposition and ensure that the world knows we will not be silent any longer. </p><p>Abuse thrives in the dark... let's be committed to bringing it into the light and forcing those who harm others to take responsibility for their actions once and for all. </p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/gisele-pelicot-medical-misogyny-and" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/gisele-pe</span><span class="invisible">licot-medical-misogyny-and</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abuse</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/rape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rape</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misogyny</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/medicalmisogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicalmisogyny</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/notallmenbutenoughofthem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notallmenbutenoughofthem</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/notallmen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notallmen</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/metoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metoo</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/GiselePelicot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GiselePelicot</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/shamemustchangesides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shamemustchangesides</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>patriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fuckthepatriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fuckthepatriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityrights</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityjustice</span></a></p>
