not to be controversial but the reason they wont pass a law saying that people with a history of domestic violence arent legally allowed to purchase a gun is bc half of the police force would no longer be legally allowed to hold their jobs. 

this ain’t tea this is hennessy

based on reporting, 10% of families in the general population endure domestic violence.

in contrast, 40% of police officer families endure domestic violence. again, this is based on reporting, so the number is likely HIGHER.

escaping abusive partners in law enforcement is made particularly difficult for these victims, because police officers

  • are armed
  • know the otherwise confidential locations of domestic abuse shelters
  • are able to game the system in order to avoid punishment
  • are often friends with the very officers who would be called to assist in a domestic situation
  • and can sometimes redirect blame onto the victims—one of my coworkers knows someone whose spouse was a cop who got her arrested for kidnapping when she fled with her children.

Same reason they don’t treat rape like a real crime – if they did, half the cops, male lawyers and male judges would be forced to think of their own fraternity hijinks as crimes and they can’t have that.

Intimate partner violence is the #1 cause of preventable deaths of women
18-35. 15-45 for black women. I’m a DV victim as well. I’ve just never
seen that 75% number before

This is why we need Womanism 

‘Bisexual women are more likely to face abuse – and no one is asking why’

rapeculturerealities:

In a report looking at global LGBT+ issues published earlier this month, the United Nations described the rates of sexual violence against bi women as “shocking”, and bi women as “especially at risk” of sexual violence. In several countries, including the UK, the US and Canada, studies have shown that bi women are the most vulnerable to rape, sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking.

In the UK, studies have found that bisexual women are five times more likely than heterosexual women to be abused by a partner. In one study, 10.8 per cent of bi women reported having been abused, compared to 8.2 per cent of lesbians and 6 per cent of straight women.

Pennsylvania-based intimate partner violence researcher, Dr Nicole Johnson, estimates that up to 75 per cent of bisexual women have been raped or sexually assaulted. She has identified three categories of vulnerability that leave bi women at higher risk of sexual violence: substance misuse, hypersexualisation and biphobic harassment.

hey tumblr I know since this isn’t a show about two white cis gays you may not donate but if you could read below

I’m trying to raise $3,500 to get me and my family away from our abusive ex stepdad. I’m trying to do this within the next 6 weeks and being black trans and unemployed makes that really hard

At this point I’m not even asking most of you to donate, I’d really just like the exposure so this can get to someone that’s a bit better off who can afford to help out a little. I’m gonna include my PayPal and the link to my gofundme below
