*patriarchy*
pa·tri·arch·y
noun
“a system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it”

The Ke$ha lawsuit is maddening.
Bill Cosby sexually assaulted dozens of women over decades and then received the the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The Stanford rape case and ridiculous sentencing of Brock Turner was outrageous.

Sexual assault is so unbelievably common. 1/5 women & 1/10 men REPORT being sexually assaulted in their lifetime, but many victims do not even whisper to anyone and take the blame for horrible situations because society has taught us to not believe otherwise.

With the help of an amazing community, let’s rally together to bring awareness to sexual assault, raise some money for the cause, and tell the patriarchy to fuck off.
