I see it more as—this could happen to someone you know and you should care. I realize you should care about bad things happening to anyone but it hits you harder when it's someone you know. I had a friend of a friend of Facebook say he's never known a woman who has been raped and my friend pointed out that they

Right! I'm so glad we're finally really putting the whole second-wave "no means no" mentality behind us. Because "no means no" isn't good enough.

I think that phrase drives home the point that it can happen to anyone. Not just young girls. Not just girls who go out to bars. Not just women who jog at night. Anyone. People too often think of sexual assault in the "creepy guy hiding in the bushes" way, ESPECIALLY men. That's why they never think what they did or

While that is absolutely the case, in contrast to cases of cis male on cis female sexual assault, incidents of male sexual assault are less likely to be due to ignorance of what constitutes consent or what constitutes rape. This PSA is clearly intended to educate straight men on consent. While I've never witnessed

I hear what you're saying, and I definitely don't disagree with you on these points. However, I've definitely been harassed by groups of guys and definitely have seen someone in the group looking uncomfortable about the situation they were standing by for. Now, if that guy or couple of guys had felt he was

It deserves its own PSA, but I don't think combining them is all that appropriate. The dynamics in male victimization are different and need to be addressed differently, especially considering how many male victims were raped as children. Over 25% of the male rape victims in the recent CDC study were raped before the

I think the "daughters, sisters and wives" part was an attempt to get your average 'Merican dude out of their own head and thinking about assault in terms of how it could affect someone he loves. Many people here have a much larger vocabulary to support discussions about sexual assault, and a much more nuanced

This is great, now show it to young boys in gym class across the nation. starting in the 3rd grade.

"if she doesn't consent, or can't consent, it's rape."

Hello I feel the same way, I consider myself a liberal feminist and I love Pinterest. But it is obvious it tends conservative, with all the wedding and baby obsession. But if you Follow the right people you can kinda avoid most of it. Plus I make sure I pin some feministy/equality pins to off set all the submissive

Eh I'm a young, liberl female Pinterest user and most of my friends who use it are also liberal. There is a lot of great stuff on Pinterest, you just have to follow the right people and avoid the Popular page. I think a lot of Pinterest users are southern so they tend to be more Christian and conservative. I'm Texan

It's not so much Old Fashioned WASP-y as it is Aspirational Southern Housewife-y. It celebrates new money and gratuitous displays of wealth. My boyfriend is the archetypal nice WASP from Cape Cod and his entire family (pretty much your standard Kennedy Democrats with a sailboat/tennis court/purebred hunting dogs they

God, yes. And as someone whose family always used mason jars for drinking glasses BECAUSE WE WERE POOR AND COULDN'T AFFORD ACTUAL GLASSWARE, I can't help laughing at these poor suckers who are paying $5 apiece for "designer" mason jars.

The real problem with #4 is that whoever formatted the page put #5 on the same line when each question had its own line before that point. Sloppy editing can and will lead to confusion.

I didn't read it that way at all. I read Magery's shock as "How could you do such a thing without bringing me in on it? I thought you considered us equals in the intrigue game!" I thought Magery was surprised because she was hurt that her Grandmother didn't consider her reliable enough to tell beforehand, likely QoT

Here you go!

Oh my fucking god, right?! THIS IS JUST COLOR-CORRECTION. JESUS CHRIST.

Color correction really isn't that big of a deal.
