Still on Facebook? This is what you are supporting.

Pictures shared on www.facebook.com/StopRapebook by Kyle Gill https://www.facebook.com/kyle.gill.7509

All of these pictures were reported to Facebook, after reviewing them, their response was:

"Thank you for your report. We carefully reviewed the photo you reported, but found it doesn't violate our community standard on hate speech so we didn't remove it."

Cancelling Facebook Until it is a Safe Space for Women

In a few hours I am shutting down my Facebook account in protest. For the last 6 months I have tried to work with Facebook to make it a safe place for women and children.

It still is NOT a safe place for women and children, as the threats against me and another woman yesterday prove. If you have kids on Facebook, they need to be either supervised 100% the time, or their accounts need to be shut down.

I have thought about this for a long time, and the only thing my conscience can settle on is that by staying on Facebook, I am contributing to a culture that promotes the rape, abuse, torture and murder of women.

Facebook gives these men a platform under the guise of "free speech." There is an obvious connection in my mind between men who threaten to rape and abuse women, and those who do so.

Until people refuse to participate and make their voices heard so that advertisers leave too, I don't think anything will ever truly change at Facebook.

Threats to "get IP address, track you down, kidnap, rape, torture, and mutilate you."

I woke up to some very disturbing messages this morning.  Our Stoprapebook  page has been filled with trolls these last weeks.

We have been blocking them, but apparently their messages still show up for other people to see. This message came in today:

"Your last post has comments mostly filled with swear words and personal attacks.  It's from Max Rxxxs sent from Williamson, WV (West Virginia). He's threatening to get your IP address, track you down, kidnap, rape, torture, and mutilate you."

And another message: Trista, on of those nut cases on the rapebook page has got hold of your email address.

This is what (s)he posted.

''Found the admin. Left their email address in a post.

txxn@gmail.com

Bitch has made a lot of attention-whoring pages in the name of feminism. Yeah... different bitch, same story. /shrug''

I have emailed Facebook and the FBI, but the threats against women online seem to only get worse. After years of fighting this, what else should we be doing?
