“A lot of men won’t use language like ‘victim’ or ‘perpetrator’ – they still love their partner. Usually they are saying ‘can you help me help her, she doesn’t mean it’. It’s a desperate plea. We would say, that sounds like coercive control, but they would not hear this language in their everyday life.”

This article makes the case for capping prison sentences at 20 years, except in rare cases. In those rare cases, the incarcerated person would be transferred to civil confinement, which could be extended with unlimited 5 year extensions.

"One in six people in prison – nearly 200,000 people nationwide – are serving life sentences. This comprehensive 50-state report examines the prevalence and implications of life sentences across the country, highlighting the disproportionate impact of such extreme sentences on people of color and the inefficacy of punitive measures in improving community safety."

Rebecca Twinley talks about her and other women's experiences of female-to-female rape.

Where is the feminist movement now? Where are those who claim to stand for women’s rights, freedom of choice, and freedom of speech?

They speak loudly about Afghanistan and Muslim countries, but when restrictions on women’s religious expression happen in secular Europe, their voices often fall silent.

Women’s rights cannot be selective. Freedom of choice must apply to every woman, everywhere — regardless of her religion, culture, or country.

If you truly stand for women’s rights, speak up everywhere. Challenge double standards. Hold every government accountable. Stop choosing which women deserve your solidarity. If you defend freedom, defend it for ALL women — not just when it suits your narrative.
