RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network) is an American nonprofit anti-sexual assaultorganization, the largest in the USA [4].
RAINN operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline, as well as the Department of Defense (Trump's new Department of War) Safe Helpline, and carries out programs to prevent sexual assault, help survivors of sexual crimes, and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice through victim services, public education, public policy, and consulting services [5].
RAINN was founded in 1994 by Jewish American Scott Berkowitz, with initial funding from The Atlantic Group and Warner Music Group [6].
Tori Amos was the organization's first spokesperson [7, 8, 9]. Christina Ricci has been the national spokes-person since April 25, 2007 [10], and she is a member of its National Leadership Council [11, 12]. More

Misogyny is being hardwired into our future. Can we stop it?
We like to believe we're moving closer to equality, riding the wave of technological progress into a brighter, [whiter] fairer future.
But beneath the glossy surface of innovation lies a chilling truth: new technologies are not just failing to solve age-old inequalities―they're deepening them.
In The New Age of Sexism, acclaimed author and activist Laura Bates exposes how misogyny [hatred of females, the counterpart to misanthropy] is being coded into the very fabric of our future.
From the biases embedded in artificial intelligence to the alarming rise of sex robots and the toxic dynamics of the metaverse, Bates takes readers on a shocking journey into a world where technology is weaponized against women.

This isn't a dystopian warning about what might happen. It's a harrowing account of what's happening now and the dangers we face if we don't act.
With clarity and urgency, Bates reveals how these advancements are dragging society backward, reinforcing harmful stereotypes, and jeopardizing decades of progress in the fight for gender equality.
Eye-opening and empowering, The New Age of Sexism is a rallying cry for awareness and action in a world where the battle for equality has entered a dangerous new frontier. More
(The Young Turks) While walking up the Capitol steps to work recently, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was accosted and sexually harassed as she tried to get to her office. Ana Kasparian and cohost Cenk Uygur discuss the incident on TYT.
AOC states: "Here is a video he [the pervert] posted of the incident. I was actually walking over to deck him [with my fist] because if no one will protect us then I’ll do it myself, but I needed to catch a vote more than a case today." (See uncensored video: AOC/X).
Is this "sexual harassment"? (Should Bernie be getting so handsy?)
Sexual harassment is a type of harassment based on the biological sex or cultural gender of a target.
It can involve offensive sexist or sexual behavior, verbal or physical actions, up to bribery, coercion, and assault [without physical contact].
Harassment may be explicit or implicit, with some examples including
making unwanted sexual remarks,
actions that insult and degrade by gender,
showing pornography,
demanding or requesting sexual favors,
offensive sexual advances, and
any other unwelcome physical, verbal, or non-verbal (sometimes provocative) conduct based on sex [1].
Sexual harassment includes a range of actions from verbal transgressions to sexual abuse or assault [2]. Harassment can occur in many different social settings such as the workplace, the home, school, or religious institutions. Harassers or victims can be of any gender [3]. More
Move to White House or Senate?
Elect me to fight oligarchy with VP Bernie!
(Axios) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her team are positioning her to run for the White House or the U.S. Senate in 2028, according to people familiar with her operation. Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez's 2028 decision could shake up the presidential race or the Senate's leadership. A fellow New Yorker, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, 74, is up for re-election in 2028. More
CNN recently broke down a poll for early choices for a democratic presidential nominee in 2028, which found that AOC is currently polling at 12% behind California Gov. Gavin Newsom, which is 10% more than what Sen. Bernie Sanders was polling in comparison to Sec'y of State Hillary Clinton in 2014. More

Reduced to essentials, the great debate about sex revolves, for many, around the concept of "sin." To the Puritan, indulgence in sexual activity for the sake of pleasure is evil, wicked, or as Christians say, "sinful" (i.e., displeasing to their God).
To the permissive person, this is nonsense. One probably rejects the term "sin" as meaningless and not only sees nothing "evil" in sexual pleasure but regards it as highly legitimate, perhaps as the highest pleasure there is and certainly as something to which, in principle at least, everybody has a right.
Many [American and European] people, coming from a more or less Christian background with at least some Puritanical overtones, find the true Buddhist attitude to this problem rather difficult to see. Perhaps they have never even been given a clear explanation of it, or if they have, it may have seemed too technical for them, and they have not grasped the point.
The point, in fact, is of considerable importance, so it is worthwhile attempting to make it clear. It involves a proper elementary grasp of what is meant by karma — something that many people, who may have been "Buddhists" for years, have never had.
However, we may begin more profitably by considering the word. "Sin" to a Christian is primarily thought of as a breach of their God’s commandments. This explanation is correct so far as it goes in terms of theology, but it is not applicable in Buddhism, where there are no such "commandments" upon which one can infringe.
The Buddhist precepts are undertakings given to oneself, which is something different. They are more on a par with the instruction, "Look both ways before crossing the road." Of course, there is much agreement between the content of the Five Precepts and some of the Ten Commandments, so it may be wise in many cases to behave accordingly, whichever formulation one follows.
However, there is another rendering of the word "sin" which in fact (though less well-known) comes much closer to the Buddhist view of things.
In the Bible, "sin" is a rendering of Hebrew and Greek words that literally mean "missing the mark," that is, behaving inadequately or unskillfully.
The sinner, then, is like an unskillful archer who misses what is aimed at. (Could this be the real meaning of Zen and the Art of Archery?) This comes, surely, very close to the idea of akusala karma or "unskillful action" in Buddhism.
The Pali word kamma (Sanskrit karma) literally means "action" (i.e., cetanā, "volitional deed"), which can be either skillful (kusala) or unskillful (akusala).
The results of action (karma) accrue to the doer as vipāka ("resultants"), which is pleasant when the action was skillful, unpleasant when it was unskillful. (If one looks before crossing the road, one shall get across safely, which is pleasant; if not, one may get run down, which is unpleasant).
The feelings we experience are of the nature of resultants (vipāka). They are dependent on past karma. And of course, we are continually creating fresh karma most of the time.
Gnostic Christianity on the "virgin birth"
It should be noted that the feeling of pleasure (sexual or otherwise) is not an action but a result. There is, therefore, nothing either "skillful" or "unskillful" about experiencing such a feeling, and we should therefore not regard it either as "virtuous" or "sinful." So far so good.
Such pleasant feelings can be enjoyed with a clear conscience and no guilt feeling, [Alanis]. If this were all, there would be no problem.
The Puritans would be routed and the permissive people justified. Unfortunately, there is another side to the matter.
Years ago, there was a song called "Money is the Root of all Evil." Some pointed out that it is not money, according to the Bible, but the love of money that is the root of all evil. And here is the snag. Sexual pleasure (like money) is not "evil" (or unskillful), but attachment to sexual pleasure (like the love of money) is.
If we can experience the pleasure without attachment, we are all right; if we become attached to it, we are "missing the mark." Now, of course, it is rather difficult (to put it mildly) to experience pleasure of any sort without developing attachment. Attachment is karma, unskillful karma at that. The results of that will inevitably, according to Buddhism, be something unpleasant in the future.
Many people will find this explanation novel. Some will find it puzzling. Some will undoubtedly reject it — with or without investigation — with the excuse that it is overly subtle, or arbitrary, or something of the sort.
What they mean is that they find it inconvenient. But it will repay a lot of consideration and mindful investigation. Careful study should show that it is the key to the whole problem.
The matter can also be considered in terms of the law of Dependent Origination: "Contact is the basis for the arising of feeling; feeling…of craving; craving…of clinging," and so on, the ultimate outcome being the continued process of becoming, with all the suffering that entails.
Therefore, if we wish to adjudicate between the Puritans and the permissive people, we cannot say that either side is entirely right. We might suggest that the Puritans are partly right for the wrong reasons.
Sexual indulgence is not wicked, but it may be to some degree inadvisable. Most people will not feel able to refrain altogether, nor are they being urged to, but there is merit in moderation.
Marriage
Calm down, Hun. - Don't call me Hun, you SOB!
What is the Buddhist attitude towards marriage? For many Buddhists, East and West, there is no great problem. They live a reasonably normal married life just as others do by luck or enjoying the results of favorable past karma. For others, serious problems arise. In the Christian tradition, marriage is a "sacrament." In some branches of Christianity it is treated as an unbreakable bond with a few loopholes.
Other branches of Christianity permit divorce in certain narrowly defined circumstances and of course in most countries the state permits divorce and remarriage, with or without the approval of the Church.
In Buddhism, marriage is not a "sacrament," as such a concept does not exist. And it is not any part of the functions of Buddhist monastics to join people together in wedlock (or deadlock). It is occasionally done in Japan as a modern idea in conformity with a tendency to imitate (perhaps unwisely) Christian institutions....
Sex Outside Marriage
That was awkward. - Good thing we didn't marry.
We should try to look at things calmly and clearly and, above all, responsibly. Nowadays there is pretty frank acceptance of what has always been the case, that a lot of people in fact have sexual intercourse without going through the formality of getting married (the "sin" called fornication).
No doubt there is more of it now than before because, for one thing, contraception is more effective than it formerly was and also because religious prejudices are fast breaking down.
This is a statement of fact, not of what ought or ought not to be. In the case of engaged couples, it is probably now the usual thing and is not heavily frowned on by most people. But it is not rare among couples who have not the slightest intention of getting engaged.
In the past, premarital sex was widely considered (and almost openly admitted) a good thing for young men but a bad thing for young women.
Now sexual equality has caught up. We may as well accept the fact that whatever we may think about it, preaching by older generations will, by and large, have precious little effect on the young. This is probably something most parents are worried about. More

Although pandas, a kind of creature like the tiny sun bear but subsisting almost exclusively on nutritious bamboo shoots (as served in good Chinese restaurants), are best known for their opposition to sexual harassment, it wasn't always that way. They were an utter myth, like Sasquatch, until someone trudged out into the woods, killed a specimen, and conclusively proved they really exist in more than just the locals' lore.
Now, numerous Sasquatch have been gunned down, and it didn't "prove" anything because the U.S. government already knows without a doubt that these hominids exist in every state but are keeping the secret anyway, even if some USFS material says otherwise. Unlike the charismatic megafauna of U.S. forests, these creatures, which come in many varieties around the world, can be dangerous, monstrous, all too human, and best kept under wraps since they are entering and exiting this dimension by various means (portals, prison planet ships, and their own preternatural super abilities).
China loves mythological figures who are bigger than life: Cosmic Buddhas like Amitabha and Vairocana, Indian missionary Bodhidharma, Goddess Kwan Yin, Ksitigarbha in Hell, Yeren (Wild Man in the woods), and big pandas.
Every year on March 16th, we celebrate the fluffiest, bamboo-munching bears that are a source of national pride for China.
There are two subspecies of panda, the Giant, black-and-white panda, and the golden ‘Qinling panda’ – a much smaller, brown subspecies of panda, discovered in 1985 in the mountain ranges of the southern Shaanxi Province in China.
In the wilderness, giant pandas live only in the remote, mountainous regions of China [like some kind of hiding Smallfoot no one used to seriously believe in].
As of 2019, due to rapidly growing population numbers, the status of pandas was upgraded from “endangered” species to “vulnerable” species.
Still, it is reported that there are fewer than 2,000 pandas left in the wild, due to habitat loss, farming, fur hunting, and other factors [like trying to teach them kung fu and getting them killed by Hollywood in the process, with drug and alcohol abuse for the ones who find fame ;,)].
Pandas only live about 15 to 20 years in the wild, but those in captivity may live even longer. Panda bears play an important part in the ecosystem of China’s bamboo forests, by spreading seeds, and therefore, growing new vegetation, which serves humans, animals, and humanimals (like the Yeren), and animals.
That’s why it is important to protect the panda and its environment, aside from their intrinsic right to live and exist on the animal plane, which is shared with humans and the human plane in Buddhism.
One factor contributing to their endangered status is the low birth rate for pandas. Considering that female pandas are only fertile two or three days of the year, it makes sense that reproduction in the wild is more difficult for this species.
There are about 27 zoos worldwide that imprison or indefinitely detain protect giant pandas and foster artificial environments to encourage reproduction.
The most important factor for preserving wild pandas is to protect their environment, especially bamboo forests, their main source of nutrition. More
