Child Molestation: How to Help Prevent It, Hopefully, and Knowing Who To Watch Out For: Clue–Men who are around your children

 [image is from here] I haven't read either book, and if anyone has, I'd be interested to know how helpful they are. I am always dubious about things like this, after watching an Oprah show. As you may know, Oprah Winfrey is a survivor of child molestation and incest and has worked to make sure predators are caught and arrested. The program featured mom's who had done all the right things in

The Father As Rapist of Girl Children: a nerve has been struck. This means that fathers ARE raping their daughters…

... and many are making pornography of the abuse. And white heterosexual men, among other het men, would like it very much if we all would please stop talking about it ASAP. And, especially, not call on other het men to hold one another accountable to these crimes against humanity. Fathers holding each other accountable. Imagine THAT. Imagine men untwisting their pants long enough to not be so

Who’s Your Daddy? I Mean Rapist. Tips on How to Prevent Female Child Sexual Abuse: if we’re going to deal with reality, that is, and not the myths

This man raped and burned his ten year old step-daughter. His name is Chris Newbury, and he is from Wichita, KS. He was caught in 2009: [image of this child rapist/incest perpetrating arsonist is from here] This next image is of a father who raped his daughters and made them bear his children, and killed his children who were also his grandchildren. 47-year-old Daniel  Rinehart faces charges of

Rape & Sexual Abuse Stats: WAY TOO LOW, and here’s a couple of reasons why

[image is from here] I write today about something I am outraged by often, but today I carry more rage than usual. I found a male-man I have known well has, within the last couple of weeks, sexually assaulted someone--his female spouse. I'd call what happened "rape" and I'm not sure if the woman wishes to, can, will, or what. I know she did not get medically examined after the assault, and

Boys who see pornography are more likely to harass girls: a new study’s findings

[image is from here] I want to personally and professionally thank Michael Flood (creator and moderator of xyonline.net, linked to on the right side of this blog in the important web pages section) for conducting this research project. The results don't surprise me at all, and I think it's always good for those who "need studies" to have those resources and results to confirm what so many of

Child-free for the Holidays: a Discussion from LiveJournal (edited)

[image is from here] [Slightly revised on 28 Dec. 2009 ECD] I like the question that follows and believe this to be an important issue that is, in my experience, too rarely discussed, leaving those of us who are, whether by choice and privilege or not, without partners and without children of our own. I found some of the answers to be implicitly classist and racist, also misogynist, so I

Sara Kruzan, at the age of sixteen, sentenced to die in prison without the possibility of parole, for murdering the man who raped and pimped her

I found this on the blog "keep your coins -- I want change" here. There are so many forms of patriarchal injustice; locking up a teenager for killing her rapist-pimp of three years is one of them. Because, after all, pimps raping, turning out, and killing "their" girls and women is no crime at all. What makes me sad and enraged while watching this is not only that her life is being wasted in
