I'm a bit floored by my work on father-daughter incest. Really didn't expect to find so many people, going to so much effort, to absolve fathers of responsibility, and to blame mothers & girls. Apologies to you feminist stalwarts who've been shouting this but I've not heard you

Two thirds of women in prison have experienced domestic abuse. Three-quarters in for non-violent crimes. Significant suicide rates. Review after review after review suggests change. Why are we still doing this?

Change is possible! largest most notorious deepfake sexual abuse website has blocked access to UK users. This follows announcement this week to criminalise creation as well as sharing. This has always been my main justification for using the criminal law theconversation.com/deepfake-porn-…

This is the reality of epidemic levels of voyeurism targeting women and girls - Korea employing women to check toilets for hidden cameras. The abuse is pervasive, unrelenting and costly for women and girls, and all of society. news.trust.org/item/202001130…

Pleased to be in such good company in this @thesundaytimes article challenging deeply unjust legal strategy of #PrinceAndrew which seeks to discredit all complainants who seek psychological support @nazirafzal @DrProudman @ReclaimTS

I have a google alert for 'indecent exposure' and every week there are many many many reports and calls for info. It's not rare. It is deeply harmful. It must be taken more seriously. Sarah Everard killer was accused of indecent exposure in 2015

My particular focus is on incest porn, the largest category of sexually violent porn found online in my study with @VeraGrayF It's freely and easily accessible online. Legitimising and normalising abusive sexual activity within families. academic.oup.com/bjc/article/61…

Profoundly disturbing report. Amongst other things, it found porn use as a key risk factor. Men who had sexual feelings and offending against children were: 11 times more likely to watch violent pornography 26 times more likely to watch bestiality porn.

Just found a Pornhub video titled '4 foot 6'. I had to look it up: it's the height of an average 10 year old girl. In plain sight, Pornhub is sexualising very young girls and profiting from it. Why do we allow this? When will regulation of porn sites have any meaning?

Thank you Judith Herman and Lisa Hirschman making things clear from 1977 locating the 'incest taboo and its violations within the structure of patriarchy'. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…
