i hate how people act like gay men are more likely to commit SA against boys when the majority of childhood SA victims are young girls at the hands of straight men. i feel like that invalidates our experiences to completely attack another demographic.

omg this almost sums up what i said with a nice little analogy. love it. i would probably add the child is the street is more likely to be a girl too (not invalidating boys but right wingers ignore girls even though we are the majority of childhood SA victims)

yes absolutely agree!! dworkin was a radical feminist & she was a champion in writing about/exposing the systemically-enabled abuse of young girls in particular

girl imma have to read some of her works. it makes me want to cry bc it really is systemic. ive heard too many real life stories from other women about their experiences as a young girl that went completely unreported/family sweeping it under the rug
