Thank you. Solidarity is really precious and important to me. it really does help the healing process.

Thank you.

That's beautiful! Yeah, he really sweetly and sadly said "where'd your thunders go?" and I didn't understand at first, so he explained that when he first met me I had beautiful, mighty thunder thighs, and he missed them. It was revolutionary for me. I realised that "thunder thighs" can only be an insult if you let it…

Why does it annoy you seeing people vape on the bus or in grocery stores? I'm genuinely interested.

They're like little medals. Wear them with pride! Hopefully one day I will look at all the fat & muscle my recovery has granted me with the same unconditional love.

Ha. I wish. I've actually been raped by four men. I used to think that the first one wasn't my fault, as I was 13 and he was at least 21, but the subsequent ones must have been my fault because I didn't learn from my mistakes. I am still in the process of unlearning this horrible thinking.

Fair point, I guess it was a pretty trite thing of me to say. I guess I was just really concerned with the poster's notion that there's only one way to be hot, because that simply isn't true. People of all genders are interested in different aesthetics, not just buff ripped dudes & supermodels. My idea of a hottie…

I've been invited to go and live in a cage all over Britain and the USA, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong... these are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. In my first week I got about 200 offers to relocate and become a full-time sub for people I've never met. It was wild.

By all means, lift weights if it will help your self-esteem. But please don't think that there is one specific body type that all women are attracted to at the expense of everyone else, because it simply isn't true. You don't need to achieve a particular kind of body to be attractive.

I think stretch marks are really cute! I've been told by people that this is strange, but I don't care. I constantly want to touch my boyfriend's stretch marks and tell him how beautiful I think they are, but I have to respect the fact that he hates them and doesn't like me bringing them up at all.

Who said anything about conventional hotness? Obviously I want to bang people that I find hot, but convention doesn't dictate personal taste! My boyfriend is obsessed with the idea that he is not conventionally hot enough to date me, but to me he is the hottest person I know.

I'd take Harley Morenstein over Johnny Depp any day.

It is absolutely that important. My boyfriend is fat and he's hotter than the devil's tea.

Oh for goodness sake. "You don't back a horse called Striding Snail. You don't name your boat Titanic II."

Wow, I love that interpretation. Thanks for sharing.

For a long time I believed that I was complicit in my own rape because I didn't fight back hard enough.

Okay, my experience is UK based, but I was (and still am) definitely ostracised for being raped. The Crown Prosecution Service, who decide which cases go to court, decided that it was my fault I was raped because I let him into my house. He was my best friend up until he raped me, but because I let him into my house,…

Yeah, I guess I should have just written "that's just a fact" after my opinion and not bothered looking anything up at all, hey?

Public harassment and assault of women is higher in the USA than it is in India.
