When I Was In Film School, I Really Struggled With What It Meant To Be A Black Filmmaker, Knowing These

when talking about hollywood grooming age-gaps people talk a lot about the Drake (33) and Millie (15) situation and I’d like to present other cases that make me raise an eyebrow:

Wilmer Valderrama dated Demi Lovato when he was 31 and she was 18

John Mayer dated Taylor Swift when he was 32 and she was 19

Jake Gyllenhaal dated Taylor Swift when he was 30 and she was 20 and he is currently 38 dating 23 year old Jeanne Cadieu

Matthew Hussey dated Camila Cabello when he was 31 and she was 21

JayZ started dating Beyoncé when he was 30 and she was 18

Sam Taylor-Wood began dating Aaron Johnson when she was 42 and he was18

Scott Disick started dating Sofia Richie when he was 34 and she was 19

Tony Bennett started dating Susan Benedetto when he was 61 and she was 20

Deborra Lee-Furness started dating Hugh Jackman when she was 42 and he was 28

Alan Ferguson married Solange Knowles when he was 50 and she was 27

What I'm gonna write right now could be triggering for a lot of people so if you're sensible to gruesome stuff do not read - but if you read it I ask of you to help us by reblogging and sharing and supporting us on this fight against gender violence ♀️💚

Yesterday, a 25 year old girl named Ingrid Escamilla was murdered by Erick Francisco, her 45 year old boyfriend. He stabbed her on the throat with a kitchen knife, skinned her from the face to the knees, and removed her organs and discarded them by drainage - all of this while his 15 year old autistic son held witness of the atrocity. Erick confessed to Ingrid's murder and yet people on social media have been saying is her fault for dating a much older man, for being lazy and trying to get "a sugar daddy", for not taking care enough of herself. And if that wasn't enough, pictures of her corpse have been shared publically via social media, almost going viral 💔

In the past few years mexico has had a feminist rise given that statistics show 10 women are killed every day in mexico city alone, 66 out of every 100 women suffer a form of gender violence in mexico, 1 in 5 complaints ends in conviction, 27.93% of pregnancies are from girls from 10 to 18, in 2019 there were 5350 feminicides and 7526 women were vanished from earth.

Women have marched, sang and danced, and vandalized monuments, and people got mad and said "we dont need feminism", "that's not how women should protest", "feminists are criminals", with a hashtag becoming really popular among women: "they dont represent me".

Ingrid was one of them, tweeting in March "feminism has to end if your best argument is that (we need it) because we are women, WE ARE PEOPLE and your life is not more important than a man's life stupid beast"

Yet, the feminists are fighting for her killer to be convicted and for it to be classified as a feminicide - the reason I'm telling you this is because I hope you'll realize that feminists fight for you and are your best friends. The best support system you could have.

But HERE is the reason I call for your support - the president has proposed to eradicate the term feminicide while stating: "I dont want feminicides to overshadow the presidential raffle". 🎫

If you're not from Mexico you wont know that the president promised during his campaign to sell and not use the presidential airplane. However he was "unable" to sell it and hes planning to raffle it amongst the mexican people, each ticket to enter the raffle costs $500 pesos - which is a lot. And it has been implied that people wont be given the plane but a prize in cash that's not even a 100th part of what the plane is worth. ✈

We cant allow our president to eradicate the term feminicide. We just can't. Itll make things worst for the victims and every single woman in mexico. This is a great act of violence towards women and it's coming from the most powerful person in our country, please spread the word about what he wants to do to us. 🤮🤢

Never let them forget this. No matter what happens in the next few years, no matter how many dems we vote into office, no matter how much better things seem to get, never let them forget how they simply let Trump supporters white terrorists storm the capitol. Never let them forget how they killed and gassed and arrested black people peacefully fighting for their basic right to live but held their hands up when the alt right attempted a coup just a few months later. Never.

Long post but I’ve been seeing way too many people come out as ecofascists saying this virus is some sort of ‘awakening’ thinking they’re some kind of spiritual gurus recently so this is a highly important read!

Men not being allowed to be emotional & rampant homophobia are the reasons men commit suicide 3.5x more than women… most men are given no outlet to feel feelings. To the point that they kill themselves.
