This is what happens when the NRA pushes loopholes that allow criminals like Bruce Pierce to obtain a gun and rape a 12 year old girl at gunpoint. When our politicians fail us, it's not surprising that people take the law into their own hands. themirror.com/news/us-news/mom #Indianapolis #Indiana #GunControlNow #MeToo

“A whole class of #politicians, #commentators, & #media #platforms exist to #exploit the resentments that everyday people hold toward the rich & famous. Meanwhile, rates of #SexualHarassment & #SexualAssault—reportedly experienced by 82% of women & 42% of men in the #US in their lifetime—remain as high as they were when the #MeToo movement erupted in 2017. Examining the real reasons for this is less fun—&,for many, less profitable—than imagining that Hollywood is a front for ritualistic sadism.”

@ChrisMayLA6 I'm sure this is just me being a bit slow on the uptake, but the article really brought into sharp focus socioeconomic character of a lot of #MeToo stories - and it makes me wonder how much sexual violence is downstream of economic power relations.
