Back to EpisodesMen Are Men Are Men: Ashlee Janae, Celeste Rivas Hernandez and Femicide
Description
We live in a world where victim blaming reigns supreme. Whenever a girl or woman is injured or killed at the hands of boys and men, the first question asked is, "What did she do?"
Men and women laughed at Ashlee Janae and said she got what she deserved. People - Black people celebrated her death. To some people Ashlee Janae is public enemy #1.
When Celeste Rivas Hernandez is the topic of discussion, people say that D4VD "slept with" her. Minors cannot consent to sex with adults. It is not sex. She was sexually assaulted. I know it makes some people uncomfortable to acknowledge the predators amongst us. The refrain - "separate the man from the music" is insulting. Call things what they are, even if it makes people squirm.
Femicide is the killing of girls and women because they are female. Women and girls are under attack. We can not afford to be silent. Listen to Loriann rage. We all should rage against the machine.
