Where do we go from here regarding Judge Deni?

What steps can we still continue to take regarding Judge Deni and this case?  She won her re-election we can’t change that.  There was international interest regarding this case.  I saw that Pravda and a Scottish News outlet had picked this up.  I also saw someone post about international efforts including Amnesty International or doing [...]

The Post-Election Rapist-Judge Blues

Well, it’s disappointing but not surprising—Deni won her retention.
Here is a link to Jill Porter’s latest coverage on the issue.
I’m sure Deni feels vindicated by her triumph, but I know in my heart that no one who knew of her malevolence would ever vote for her. With less than three weeks to organize [...]

Judge Deni, feminism, genderberg, the importance of rallying together

In a post Gretchen mentioned that Genderberg was also addressing the Deni issue.  Which is great.  It is important that anyone and everyone that is interested address the issue.  I’m not minimizing their efforts.  I appreciate them.
But, to my understanding, and I could be wrong as I haven’t spent much time looking for the answer, [...]

A judge Deni ally opposes our position in a philly blog

Jill Brenneman writes:
This was posted on one of the probably 50 blogs I posted the liveblog notice on. I believe Kathy Hogan may believe her 30 year friend’s position, which everyone has friends and believes in them, but I also think at best Kathy Hogan is being played by her friend Judge Carr. [...]

THEFT OF SERVICES = RAPE

Judge Deni says that a violent gang rape at gunpoint is an insult to what “real rape” is. And the sexual assault activist community is on board with that but how many people can wrap their heads around the idea that theft of services to a prostitute is NOT an INSULT to what [...]

Sex Workers Against Rape

I’ve been in discussions with other activists, one who came up with this great title “sex workers against rape”. I want to say her name and credit her for the title and the concept but I haven’t heard back yet for permission to quote her name. But the title is not mine. [...]

Why not say what you really mean?

I mean, come on judge Deni, why not just say it.  I mean, you said (this case) “minimizes true rape cases and demeans women who are really raped.”

Why not just say it…that it minimizes cases of rape against real women.  After all, that’s pretty much the impression you’ve given, the mode of thinking you [...]

Right Then

I get out of bed in the morning like everyone else. I shower, brush my teeth, put my jeans on one leg at a time like anyone else. I pay taxes, bitch about gas prices, shop in stores, do dishes, keep an eye on politics, just like countless other people worldwide. I mow my lawn; [...]
