@amydiehl@mstdn.social These young men have mental health issues that are endangering the lives of women around them. They may also be a danger to men around them, the ones who know this kind of behaviour is wrong. On so many levels. We —men— all have mothers and grandmothers. Some of us have aunts, sisters, daughters, granddaughters, women friends or colleagues. Most of us would not condone the raping of women close to us. Somehow, we’re ok when it happens at a frat party. Or after a hockey game. I’m not ok with this. It’s one of the reasons I do the work I do. If you’re a man who is ok with rape or other forms of violence against women, I urge you to get mental health help. This may be the most important step you take for your own happiness and health, and the women you love. Rape culture is a men’s health issue, and it seriously fucks up our families, communities, and the larger culture. #menshealth #men #rapeculture #sexualassault #family@menshealth@fedigroups.social

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social At least their university didn't reward them for their assault. In Canada two of the five hockey players charged with sexually assaulting a young woman, but not convicted, have been awarded contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to play in the NHL. I can only interpret this as sexual assault is so common in the hockey community that they didn't stand out. As an aside, Hockey Canada used a slush fund to purchase the silence of women over the years who have been sexually assaulted. #sexualassault #hockey

@rinkside@mastodon.online I understand. I stopped reading twice because I found it hard to stomach that our Canadian boys’/men’s hockey culture is a breeding ground for awful attitudes and behaviours. After the “acquitted rapist” signing in Edmonton recently I did two things: revoked my citizenship in Oilerville, and bought the book. I’ll finish it this time. 🏒🥅🇨🇦 #Oilers #sexualassault #rapeculture #nhl #hockey #hnom #edmonton @hnom@fedigroups.social

Four women have accused Oscar-winning actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct, with the alleged offences having taken place when they were teenagers. One of the women says she was sexually assaulted in a motel bathroom when she was 17. Another says the Hollywood star threatened her with sexual assault when she was 19, and had been unexpectedly left alone with him in a hotel room. A third describes how she had under-age sex with the star in California when she was 17 - which would be classified as statutory rape. Leto "shrugged off" a conversation about the age of consent being 18 in the US state, she says. The fourth woman describes being groomed by Leto, saying he abused his celebrity status by making repeated sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was 16. On at least one occasion, she says he suggested they should have sex. #JaredLeto #SexualAssault

"Yet an examination of Washington discipline records by KUOW and ProPublica found that regardless of what the law calls for, Washington fails to reliably call the public’s attention to serious misconduct allegations against doctors who have been allowed to keep practicing while their cases proceed." https://www.propublica.org/article/washington-doctor-misconduct-failed-disclosure via @ProPublica@newsie.social#healthcare #physicians #bioethics #misconduct #SexualAssault #licensing #washington

NEW: Washington Law Says to Alert the Public When Doctors Are Accused of Misconduct. It Can Take Months. In the case of OB-GYN Mark Mulholland, who was repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct, Washington’s medical board waited six weeks to announce it had filed charges. He kept seeing patients during that time, and one alleges he abused her in the interim. https://www.propublica.org/article/washington-doctor-misconduct-failed-disclosure?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Washington #Medicine #Health #Doctors #Law #Transparency #SexualAssault

Football officials and fans still don't care. Cape Verde's captain is allowed to play, and Ronaldo is being celebrated. "Football has been grappling with how to deal with allegations of sexual misconduct for some time, and when I ask myself what has actually changed — whether the sport is any closer to having a clear approach to such allegations — the only answer, to me, is that it has not tried hard enough" https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7396841/2026/06/27/world-cup-partey-allegations-women/ #football #fifa2026 #Sexualassault #ronaldo #CapeVerde
