Regular reminder to not use violent sexualized language to talk about toxic people. Victims of sexualized violence, no matter their age, often blame themselves. That is a normal psychological reaction to traumatizing abuse. When you say "fuck nazis" you're basically telling women, men, non-binary grownups and children victimized: "Yes its okay to use sexualized violence against bad people. They deserve it." And that means: "You must have deserved it too, which means you're as bad as a nazi." Show empathy to the victims by not normalizing the acts and language of the perpetrators. #SexualizedViolence #SexualizedLanguage #RapeCulture #WordsMatter

TIL that the astrophysicist who coined the term #DarkMatter , Fritz Zwicky, also coined the term ‘spherical bastard’, meaning someone who is a bastard no matter how you look at them. 🍊 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Zwicky #WordsMatter
