Help find an abuser of women: William Hamlet Hunt. Apparently this fuckwipe attacked a fellow convention go-er. The shit men do to women, it baffles.

Saw that on

hakeber's journal. It's strange timing; today was the day that t-shirt display on gender violence, rape, and incest was put up on the UCI campus. I guess they do this every year (with new t-shirts every year) and I missed it last year. It was very moving-- t-shirts made by survivors and the relatives of victims. They were color-coded by category: assault, rape, incest, homophobia-driven violence, and assaults resulting in death. I read or skimmed probably 80% of the shirts. I don't have pictures, but here's the flyer:

It was very disturbing and very moving to read the t-shirts. Some of them described incidents on the UCI campus, some of them described incidents from childhood or from a year or two ago. Particularly affecting were the t-shirts on incest and the t-shirts on date rape. Though there were enough white t-shirts to make you look hard at those too.

They were angry, they were sad, and they triumphant. There's a "Take Back The Night" candlelight vigil tomorrow that happens just after my class ends, so I'll hang around campus and attend.
