All over the pop news tabloids this past weekend was the news of Kesha crying in court. She's the one we say we love when we blast "Timber" or wear more glitter. She's a singer, yes, but the thing we can all relate to is that she's a woman. She's a person, a real human being that has suffered something real.

The news with Kesha is more than just a story about Sony and her music-- it's a real-life example of the justice system failing one of the most influential people in music. In case you aren't aware of the whole story, Kesha has sued Sony and asked to leave her contract with "Dr Luke," her producer, who she claims raped her when she was 18. On Friday, Kesha's hope of nullifying the contract was lost as a judge ruled that doing so would undermine the state's laws governing contracts.

All that to say -- the courts ruled in favor of the state's laws and wouldn't allow Kesha to escape her situation with a producer that sexually assaulted her and physically and emotionally abused her since the beginning of their relationship. The courts ruled in favor of a system that keeps a sexually assaulted woman with her rapist and abuser. The justice system failed to help out a woman who has faced the thing we all fear the most.

So many times, we encourage women (and men) who have been in these situations to speak out. Our generation is trying to set up more of a support system where women feel empowered to speak out about their experiences and seek help. To not feel like there's no one there to help them. We see this in colleges that are trying to create better ways of helping people that have been through this, even in our own school. But yet, so many times, the help that is needed isn't there.

The courts said that there was no way to prove that this had happened because it had happened when she was 18 years old, only furthering the issue that women are discouraged to seek help because people won't believe them.

Simply put was this tweet:

Think about this story as more than just a tabloid story. Think about this and work to make our world a safer place for all women.
