Would you do the same if she were getting tattooes? They're also largely irreversible body modifications. Saying 'I wish she could see herself the way I see her' makes you sound like one of the dudes who tell women they don't need to change physically because 'dudes like that.' The goal, I think, should be to not give…

Woah objection. How much YA have you read?

In America, yeah.

I always thinking people arguing with trolls are just as deluded as the troll.

No I mean that a white child in an intolerant area can be taught about intolerance by their parents with 'look, see that, it's bad.' A brown child in an intolerant area learns racism is wrong because *it hurts them.* The distance I'm speaking about is white privilege.

Because when your kids are white, you can speak to them about the racial intolerance of others from a safe distance. But when your child is brown and you aren't and no one else is, it's going to be a much, much more painful lesson. The latter is something I would want to avoid if possible, at least early on. The…

here, one artist gave another permission to use pain that resulted from their shared fuckedupness. I think it's likely ER is trying to find some deeper meaning in this cookie-cutter, modern tragedy. So I guess my point is that while it might me exploitative on the abuser's part it could still be cathartic and have…

Wow this is a big rambling, nonsensical mess. You're conflating a lot of criminal profiles and contradicting yourself to make this situation fit in with your limited knowledge of sex crimes in general.

Yeah I've contributed to thought catalog and it's just another platform. They also acquire pieces from elsewhere pretty often. My first piece for them was actually something I published in xojane and I accidentally came across it on thought catalog

sounds like you haven't encountered much alt-lit. It's basically all quirky and way too self-aware.

Most of us post on both so I think that's a given really

*no homo

Lmao how did so many people miss this. I thought it was obvious

*rubs hands together* FINALLY, IT BEGINS. First the men will disappear and then we'll move the melanin deficient whites underground. All that will be left are brown women and the only holiday celebrated will be BEYONC-DAY. (All hail the queen)

I don't know how any REAL pizza fan could disparage it in any of its delicious forms. Pizza rolls. Pizza bagels. Deep dish pizza. Thin crust. Sicilian style. Mini pizzas. Babies dressed in pizza costumes etc

Is this really 'ripped off'? The recipe is slightly different and there really aren't that many ways to make a pizza cake.

Much italics.

every single message I get on collarme is some variation of this. 'Will you let me serve you by watching me shove a potato up my ass with women's panties stuffed in my mouth???"
