#Women as spoils of #war at the end of #WWII #documentary.

In early 1945, at least 860,000 women & #girls in #Germany were #SexuallyAbused by #AlliedSoldiers. The #victims & children born after being raped, suffer #trauma to this day. Many stayed silent & took their stories to their graves.

This #film hears stories of some victims, talks to their children & grandchildren & #historians to reveal how the trauma has affected them.

"Stormy Daniels has reminded us of what a disgusting misogynistic creep Donald Trump is: unable to control his carnal impulses, eager to exploit his power and influence and wealth to procure sex, devoid of shame or guilt or remorse, incapable of fidelity, focused completely on his own sexual satiety, and totally fine about said sexual satiety being generated by violent means."

A national database of pregnant women with Trump as president: nothing dystopian about that idea, is there?

It would be, as Stepford Wives GOP senator Katie Britt says, designed to "help" pregnant women.

All this, and polls that may or may not be rigged still show Trump leading Biden in various states?

The Trump era is pulling back the curtain and showing us something that's deeply disturbing about many of us.

Mother's Day just passed, but let's remember the Indigenous women who couldn't be mothers because of the stеriIizаtion programs led by the US like in the 1940s against Mexicans under California's 1909 Eugenics law or the 1970 law that stеriΙzed at least 25% of Native American women

Maternity care is in crisis:

Zoe Williams concludes:

'It’s not a story of one bad apple, or one bad chief executive, or one bad institutional culture, or one underprivileged area. In 2022, 80 of the country’s 193 maternity units were deemed unsafe by the Care Quality Commission. That definitely wasn’t the austerity promise, not even in the small print: creating a country not safe to give birth in'!

One more dimensions of the Tories wrecking of the NHS

Have you ever attended a divorce party before?
I've attended 2, pre-covid & they were way more fun & interesting than past bachelorette parties.

#UnreportedWorld meets the #women of #Mauritania beating the #stigma of #divorce and throwing lavish #DivorceParties to celebrate. Reporter Ayshah Tull finds out if #DivorceCulture and women taking multiple husbands is as #empowering as it sounds.

Although this figures are from 2018, there's little reason to expect that things have got better for women in the subsequent 7 years.

Around a third of women have been subjected to physical and/or sexual violence from a current or former partner, from a non-partner, or both of these forms of violence combined at least once in their lifetime (since the age of 15).

We still have a lot of work to do to stop men abusing women

BRITT BILL WOULD CREATE FEDERAL DATABASE TRACKING PREGNANCIES

Alabama Senator Katie Britt, best known for delivering a bizarre, melodramatic televised response to President Biden's 2024 State of the Union address, has introduced a bill to create a federal website to collect data on pregnant people.

If the same people go after trans rights, gay + lesbian rights and women's rights, and if these people are always traditionalists working in the cause of a strictly defined social conservatism, then isn't the problem that a patriarchy wants to control the sexual lives and gender expressions of others, to restrict personal freedoms and to create incarcerating and incarcerated lives?

The fight is between freedom and unfreedom.

I'm watching documentaries

The second one I'm watching now is about violence against women

I'm already having trouble watching the first few minutes, tears are welling up in my eyes

How can it be that we don't deal with this more often?
These women will suffer for a lifetime, struggle with the consequences and yet are only a marginal figure in the media

Every third day a woman is murdered in Germany, every third day, it breaks my heart

Vaguely pondering the stellar supporting cast in 's (1999):

Jeffrey Jones
Christopher Lee
Ian McDiarmid
Michael Gough
Ray Park
Peter Guinness
Martin Landau
Richard Griffiths

I've always loved the movie for its story, its -ness, and its main cast. The story really could have used more in it, but still.

The men of this supporting cast really do deserve all the shout-outs. The film could not have been its , drama-laden best without them.

Domestic violence is now top of the political agenda in Australia. This comes in the wake of a multiple fatal stabbing and protests that followed. Five women were among six people stabbed to death in a shopping mall in Sydney last month. There have been protests during the past week against the rise in violence against #women in Australia. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is calling it a national crisis. Tom Canetti with more.

Toxic masculinity and fear of emasculation are primary drivers of misogyny and violence against women.

Even the most vigilant and conscious men fall victim to this, because society has wired us that way. But we can work together to change that.

Awareness is curative.

"“We are horrified at details emerging from mass graves recently unearthed in the #Gaza Strip. Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser and Al Shifa #hospitals, including of #women and #children, with many reportedly showing signs of #torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive,” the experts said.

...as of 29 April 2024, of 34,488 #Palestinians killed in Gaza, 14,500 have been children and 9,500 women."
