whoneedsfeminism: I need feminism because my sister said, “don’t you think it might be [my 14-year-old daughter]’s fault that her stepfather sexually assaulted her?” If my well-educated sister could say that about her own niece…victim-blaming the girl she apparently loved… I need to believe there is caring and outrage out there, despite the fact I didn’t find it close to home.
