#stigma!
New episode!

EXCISION was an interesting episode to explore sibling caregiving, control, and the stigma that comes with certain support needs versus others.

It is true that men are raped and it is just as wrong, just as ugly. It is under-reported and prosecution is often dropped for all the same reasons. Plus, the stigma has sides to it that a woman won't understand (social, personal.)
I am sorry you were raped. I hope you had some justice.

I'm also tired of the way the community perpetuates its own stereotypes. I'm not going to name names, but I see too many people in this community giving their Lalafells pacifiers and diapers, or just make them look babyish. Shit like that is part of why we get the stigma that we do. It sickens me.

The stigma has to stop.
It's completely different now than when I was growing up, I've had bouts of depression on and off since I was 15 and 1 mental breakdown in 2013.

Nope!

If you’re going to play defense for voters who chose to bigot, you have to shoulder the stigma too.

After all, if they’re worthy defending then stand ten toes down or don’t.

Defend them, take on the stigma or don’t.

Pick one.

In New York, marital laws no longer operate under the assumption that women need financial protection after divorce, nor that their earning potential is less than a man’s. Many divorced women now find themselves in worse economic straits than they would have faced just ten years ago.
The Strong, Empowered, Secretly Broke Divorcée
The stigma of divorce has all but vanished, but recent reforms to marital law have rendered the financial cost more punishing for women.

Good, now follow that train of thought Mr Carney! -->

1. If it works in Toronto, it would work everywhere.

2. Giving people money and/or homes reduces hospital visits, copper & cat converter thefts, & self-medicating with dangerous drugs

3. Being nice to people is CHEAPER than prison, stigma, etc

Exactly, but there is no need to make a common summary about "furries", it just feeds stigma about community. At least don't push the hate through the statement and then collaborate with such clients imo

What's worse is the letters haven't changed much over the years. The big fat slap on the wrist, no actual discipline. No larger changes. And whether it's men or women who are raped, far too many don't come forward because of the stigma.

Sigh....Another thing to hold steady over, even when the stigma is dead in my face everyday

Cause im not fully comfortable sharing my wg art on my main account but still want to indulge. Because I have a lot of stigma that I'm trying to undo at my own pace. Im still doing romantic wg, its my thing but normative romance is on main because it doesn't focus on how fat she is but their dynamic

Reduce mental illness stigma by advocating for universal mental healthcare, providing housing for all, and increasing accommodations and accessibility.

Or elected to office. Rape isn't the stigma it used to be, in US politics at least.

Leftists when they see someone trying to rehabilitate something that has a negative stigma: Come on! It's so EASY to let something go!!! You should NOT have to play defense for someone/something this hard, move on!!!

Leftists when faced w/ that same issue: God... how can WE be able to accept this?

There is such shame and stigma attached to being r@ped or sexually abused. It goes back through time for decades, centuries. As Gisèle Pelicot says “Shame must change sides”.
