It’s been in the works for months. Thanks to the support of a specific gentleman on the other side of the pond, The Order of the White Feather was created: a community within the steampunk community who vows to believe.
It’s as simple as that. Together, we will reverse the normal response of questioning the victim of sexualized violence and believing the accused.
We vow to believe the victim, support her, create a safe place for her to speak out.
We vow to turn any questions to the accused, turning the burden of proof on him.
It’s still a work in progress. I’ll be filling in content over the coming days/weeks, so please be patient with me. We’ve got a good start, though. Today our first blog post went live: “More than a Meat Market,” written by Jenny Choate.
Please show your support by leaving respectful comments for her.
