This peaked me more than any other single incident. The man pictured, “Gabrielle” Darone, spent 9 months simulating a pregnancy, including feigned morning sickness and the wearing of a fake belly, with the intention of play-acting the loss of the imaginary baby. He also joined a support group for grieving mothers who had lost children, seeking validation and “support” for his planned “stillbirth.” He even went so far as to rent a machine that simulated contractions, and bought a plastic “baby” which he inserted into his rectum and then “gave birth to.” Afterwards, he took two weeks off from work to “grieve.” Women who objected to his presence in the group - women who had actually lost children - were kicked out so that this man could feel supported in his game of ‘let’s pretend.’ Their very real grief was considered less important than this man’s sexual fantasies. To top it all off, he did all of this in the house he still shared with his unconsenting soon-to-be-ex-wife and their minor children. He even roped his 7 year old into taking “maternity pictures.” Mr. Darone also convinced his doctors to provide him with drugs to induce lactation. He asked the members of an online breastfeeding group he’d joined if any of them would be willing to let him “breastfeed” - that is, sexually assault - their babies, and attempted to donate the chemical-laced sludge he pumped out of his moobs to “other mothers.” These men have proven over and over again that there is no aspect of women’s pain that they will not twist into a prop for their sickening deviancy, from rape to oppression to sexual objectification. Even the loss of a child in the womb is fair game to them: a perverted, selfish, hyper-sexualized game of make-believe that must always take priority over the real pain and real needs of real women.

🚨 DOG CRUELTY APPEAL 🚨 ‼️ RSPCA Reappeal ‼️ | Elland, Calderdale, West Yorks HX5. A woman in grey tracksuit sought after a starving wounded dog is tied to a telegraph pole and abandoned. Do you recognise the dog? Know the owner? The brown male Mastiff-type dog was discovered by a passer-by on Thomas Street in Elland in the early afternoon of Tuesday, February 3. '“This poor dog was extremely underweight - his ribs and spine were clearly visible and he was in a very bad condition," said RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Hannah Westen, who came to the rescue of the abandoned dog. “He had skin issues, wounds to his face, a broken nail and urine scalding. "It’s heart-breaking to think he was simply tied up and left like that. “Thankfully, a concerned member of the public stepped in quickly to get him veterinary treatment.” The RSPCA is looking to identify a woman in a grey tracksuit, captured on CCTV and seen in the area at the time. They believe she may have important information so they are encouraging her to come forward and support the charity’s enquiries. A CCTV image shows her walking from Thomas Street onto Dewsbury Road towards the bridge, before getting into a small red van and leaving the scene. The van’s registration number is not known at this stage. RSPCA Inspector Joanne Taylor, who is leading the investigation, said: “This dog was found in a shocking condition. "He was extremely underweight and had a number of untreated health issues. "Abandoning an animal in this way is completely unacceptable. “We have carried out extensive local enquiries and reviewed available CCTV, but we are now asking for the public’s help. "We believe someone in the area may recognise the woman described or have information about the red van seen collecting her - and we think she could have information which may help us. “If you have any information about who this dog belongs to, the identity of the woman seen on Thomas Street, or the red van and its driver, please contact us. Even the smallest detail could help.” Unfortunately the RSPCA has so far been unable to identify the person responsible for abandoning the dog so they are urging anyone with any information to come forward. They want to dispel speculation on social media that is pointing to a specific individual in connection with this incident. The person has been fully discounted from the investigation and is not linked to this dog, they have confirmed. The RSPCA urges people not to speculate or engage in online harassment, and instead to share any genuine information directly with them - by contacting the RSPCA appeals line on 0300 123 8018 and referring to incident number 01729029.
