Oh, don’t see your post as an attack at all. From what little I know of RP, it doesn’t feel to me that RP is right for this either since they’re not community-facing and work more on research (though, who knows, two friends at RP said they might so I cc’d/included Peter—so I guess two people you know). Also, Peter & I exchanged a couple emails, and (I don’t want to speak on Peter’s behalf I’ll be brief) - he said SA is something he spends a lot of time on, he wants to do what he thinks is best about SA, he asked what I’m looking to do, and the email I copied here is my response to that. I also copied Peter because I do feel frustrated with CH/feel—and who does one talk to about that?
Also, I felt that the information I pointed out to Peter are relevant info for EAers to have (eg, about defamation), which is the main reason I included the email I sent to him here.
AFTER I said that, both Catherine and Julia asked me to send survivors & bad actors their way. I found this really quite not okay. And you’re right, that situation is not Peter’s fault.
But also, I don’t expect CH or RP to accept the proposal, and I’m not going to be bitter when Friday passes in continued silence. Sending it was basically me saying—here’s what I need in return for helping you. I have a 99% expectation that the answer is that EA (as a whole) would rather not have my help if it’s conditioned upon reciprocity or admission of a problem. I wanted to state why I was leaving/discontinuing this work with EA, give a number on assaults so more people would take it seriously (seems like I failed in that effort), and highlight my experience with CEA to show why I think rape will be ongoing problem.
