  • Seeing this picture my mind wandered to thinking ‘this must be an Epstein girl, or a beauty pageant girl or something’. But it’s actually his daughter. Not saying that this makes him innocent, he’s not. By everything Trump has said and done he’s shown he has not the slighest bit of respect for women. I just read in psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolks ’ The Body Keeps the Score ’ that childhood sexual abuse, despite not being talked about much, is likely the largest public health problem that we face, and aside from the mental problems that come from it, increasingly diseases like auto immune diseases are explained by the unsafety that is experienced during trauma. Trump is infamous for 'grab ‘em by the pussy’, and people often plead for respect for women through the reasoning that goes: ‘just imagine it was your mother, sister, daughter, etc.’. I think the problem with this is that it assumes that people like Trump would never do to their daughter what they would do to women unknown to them. I think the statistics on sexual abuse go to show that many people are abused by those close to them. I also think the prevalency of sexual abuse point into the direction of ‘if something feels wrong, something probably is wrong’. The fact that this man is the most powerfull man on the globe is a slap in the face of every sexual abuse survivor.





  • The idea that what you see online has an effect on what you do offline, is not that far fetched is it? I mean, I don’t know if it’s true and I guess you could argue it could work in both directions too. Do people blow off steam online so they don’t have to enact their darkest fantasties IRL. Or does the online material encourage or normalize these things? It could also be so that this works different for different people. It let’s one person blow of steam, while it pushes someone else over the edge to do something horrendous. And if that is the case, is it fair to take it away from those who are not negatively influenced by it, to prevent those in whom it inspires bad actions from seeing it. I guess we’d need research on the matter, I don’t know if it exist or how reliable it is. But I don’t think it’s a nonsensical question to ask what the effects are.
