Philippines doomsday ‘cult’ accused of child sex abuse
Andrew Tate was never "just trolling"
It's a persistent bit of wishful thinking in our culture, that misogynist talk somehow has no relationship to actual violence against women. Donald Trump, for instance, was able to wave away a tape of him bragging about sexual assault by claiming it was just "locker room talk." It was not, as a jury found just this spring, ruling that journalist E. Jean Carroll told the truth when she said Trump sexually assaulted her in the 90s.
The pandemic, of course, is the most dramatic event in the lives of kids (and everyone) in the past few years and got the lion's share of the blame for these stomach-churning numbers. But what cannot be overlooked as a likely factor: American boys are swimming in online propaganda that celebrates sexual violence as both their god-given right and as a way to demonstrate their manliness. One of the most famous figures in the world of teenage boys right now is imprisoned in Romania on charges of rape and forcing women into sex work. It's highly unlikely that the legions of boys who admire Tate and imitate his workouts, his tastes, and his rhetoric aren't also emulating the violence against women celebrated in Tate's videos.
The Depp defamation suit should outrage and appall you | Jill Filipovic | The Guardian
The question in this trial was not who was the abusive partner; it was whether Heard defamed Depp by writing an op-ed in which she identified herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse” and argued that “institutions protect men accused of abuse.”
Go ahead: re-read the op-ed. What you won’t find anywhere in it is Heard saying that Depp abused her. Instead, you will find her making statements that are not defamatory, but objectively true: that she became a public figure representing domestic violence; that her career suffered for it.

The Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial was an orgy of misogyny | Moira Donegan | The Guardian
The trial has turned into a public orgy of misogyny. While most of the vitriol is nominally directed at Heard, it is hard to shake the feeling that really, it is directed at all women – and in particular, at those of us who spoke out about gendered abuse and sexual violence during the height of the #MeToo movement. We are in a moment of virulent antifeminist backlash, and the modest gains that were made in that era are being retracted with a gleeful display of victim-blaming at a massive scale. One woman has been made into a symbol of a movement that many view with fear and hatred, and she’s being punished for that movement. In this way, Heard is still in an abusive relationship. But now, it’s not just with Depp, but with the whole country.
