To reiterate what many have said, no woman subjects themselves to this relentless, nasty grilling for fun, or because their “boyfriend might have found out they cheated”. This is without question a horrible and re-traumatizing experience for E.M. #believewomen

Why do group sexual assaults happen over and over again in sports teams—from high school locker rooms to NHL draft classes? Why is male team culture so often built on the degradation or objectification of women and girls? Why are coaches, executives, and governing bodies

Rarely—almost never—do we ask: Who taught these boys that women’s bodies are a place to bond? Who told them that team unity is proven through silence about violence? Who benefits when we see sports as sacred—but survivors as disposable?

We are done pretending this is rare. We are done pretending this is just about five men. And we are done pretending this is just about hockey. Because what’s on trial is not only a group of individuals. What’s on trial is a culture of entitlement, aggression, and male bonding

It’s about how male athletes are groomed by the culture around them to believe that consent isn’t even part of the story. In this version of masculinity—built and reinforced by coaches, peers, fans, and sponsors—sex isn’t intimacy. It’s a team sport. It’s conquest. It’s social

A huge win for R.R. and her children. Reading the decision was harrowing thinking about what she and her children dealt with in the child “protection” system. Read the decision yourself: bccourts.ca/jdb-txt/ca/25/…

There is really only one playbook for defence counsel in a sex assault trial: attack the survivor's character. Things like painting her as a party girl, a liar, money or fame hungry, vindictive. Or if that fails then straight up blaming her for what happened.

Good for EM: He tells her to just answer, for example, “I agree.” She says that’s fine, but “it’s also my time to stand up for myself when I couldn’t that night, if that’s all right.”
