My friends, as you all know this blog is centered around WOSO. As a musician, a Venezuelan-American with a dutch obsessed heart and just a human overall I am also compelled from time to time to talk about many different adjacent topics, and let’s face it some posts are incredibly random and based only on my opinions and not facts. I enjoy chatting about the parallels between football and music, about empathy, about former players I will love forever, and sometimes I talk about politics, injustice and social causes.
Today I am only briefly going to talk about a story that shook me to my core and I am bringing it up because I feel duty bound, as someone who loves women’s football and the woso community, and this has without a doubt affected one of you directly or indirectly. It’s disgusting, it’s abhorrent, it’s unforgivable and I’m sorry that this is a thing.
TRIGGER WARNING ‼️ ⚠️ ⛔️
CNN published an article (here) about how an investigation essentially uncovered a r*ape academy… a site that was visited 62 MILLION times from men all over the world who learned how to drug, abuse and hurt their wives, filmed it and shared it… they all exchanged info as to how to not get caught, they took directions from the highest bidder and every disgusting thing you can imagine as their partners were drugged and unconscious and of course never consented to any of it.
To put it in perspective, in the same month 50 million people visited Google. That’s 12 million MORE people. I just cannot begin to wrap my head around any of it. These men need to be held accountable and I truly hope that you haven’t been affected by anything similar and same goes for anyone you know.
I am really sorry to be talking about these things here but since this is a space dedicated to women footballers, they are women and people above anything else.
I don’t know what else to say for now.
❤
