30 Sex

Yeah, I know. Long time. Long story.

Meanwhile, via The Sexist, 30 seconds of awesomeness from Scotland.

Although many people genuinely believe they wouldn't judge a rape victim by what they wear, how drunk they were, or if they had been flirting all night, they often actually do; particularly when sitting as a juror in court. Not Ever wants to prompt people to keep their judgments in check and to remember that there's only one person who is responsible for rape and it's not the victim. It doesn't matter what you wear, how many sexual partners you've had, or if you're out getting drunk with friends - no one deserves to be raped - ever.

More here.

Watch it go viral.

Brilliant!!

Was quite shocked when I watched it the first time.
Yah, hope the message gets across.

Love the video, and love that you're back!

Welcome back.

Thanks for reposting this video, Antonia. The more people who see it the better. And also, welcome back. You were missed. :)

Yes, Esteemed and Beautiful Moderator, Welcome back!

One comment ... lucky she's not in a community where the (all-male) judge and (all-male) religious and legal establishment would dismiss any charges commenting on her mode of dress... where maybe SHE would the one facing any charges in any case, come to think of it

Nice to see you back! Been missing your posts. I hope things are well.

Broadsides by Antonia Zerbisias


  • Antonia Zerbisias has been a Star columnist since 1989 but has been telling people what she thinks ever since she could open her mouth. Her career ambition as an opinionator dates back to Grade 9 when a cartoon commentary on a teacher resulted in her suspension from high school. The principal sent her home with a note calling her "rude, obstreperous and bold." Her parents were neither amused, nor surprised. Once she was punished for being that way. Now she makes it pay. And, because she can take it as well as dish it out, she wants to hear what you have to say. Fire away!
