Artwork: High Queen

For part two of the writerverse challenge, we had to turn the short story into a script or make a casting call. I rewrote Not One for Traditions as a script, which I won't reproduce here because it's the same basic thing and I couldn't get the formatting to look the way I wanted to. But it's done for points. For bonus points, we could do a poster for the movie; so here's a teaser poster for the movie that scene is from: The High Queen.

Links: victim blaming/policing

Two articles that discuss, and give a round up of recent links around, victim blaming, victim policing, and sex shaming; trigger warnings for rape.

eta: a wtf-sexism post locked to members only looks at this issue too and how ridiculous victim blaming is, and how every culture has it, it's only the 'faults' of the victim that change. It also links to this article publicly posted, which deals with a horrific tale of victim blaming by a hotel chain. This happened a couple of years back but unfortunately I don't think much has changed.
