I was listening to a radio broadcast about the Nevada win and some sound bites of the candidates talking about Guantanamo Bay this morning (Canadian here) and it actually gave me chills.

FUCK. THAT. JUDGE. Holy shit. What a pudgy, power tripping coward.

I was listening to that on my commute to work the other morning... so important!

“Don’t let anyone ask your little boy if he has a girlfriend-let him be a little boy.”

We can’t win.

Especially when so many women don’t talk about their stories.

You have the patience of a saint.

That is my worst fear... that something as innocent as a handshake will turn into assault if they can touch you. I’m glad you were able to get out of there safely!

No one is saying that. Men just fail to recognize their own biases. They will excuse their preferences for young women as a purely biological imperative, while begrudging women their desire/ need for a stable partner who they can rely on financially in the case of pregnancy and child rearing. The knife cuts both ways.

That’s because women generally make less money than men, and if that man wants to use her body to bear and birth his children then HOPEFULLY he will at least be able to provide for the family for a just little bit while she’s recovering and taking care of their newborn child. Or is that too much to ask.

They don’t just want kids, they want the wife/ unpaid house servant to take care them and the kids. Who wants to actually do hands on parenting! Buzz kill!

This needs moar stars.

He sounds like a monster... who’s probably going to end up seriously hurting or killing someone (if he hasn’t already). Jesus Christ. I’m so sorry you went through that and I hope you’ve gotten to a much better place!

ARE. YOU. SERIOUS.

Well then maybe don’t keep hammering on the point that victims should always go to the police if you don’t know what that entails or how it ends. And the only “alternative” you seem to be proposing is that victims don’t speak publicly about their assaults unless they’ve first spoken to the police... which... is not…

So if your friend started warning others about this guy on social media to prevent other women from dating/ hanging around him, would you feel that she was being irresponsible because the police haven’t proven anything yet? Or is it that you have to know a woman personally before you could believe that they are…

You are remarkably persistent on the topic, for someone who seemingly knows nothing about how reporting rape and sexual assault works.

It’s awful to discover over the years which of your friends have been raped. As someone who is obnoxiously vocal about feminism, women know that I will be supportive and not make them feel like shit if they open up to me. Then the next thing you know, your friend is sitting next to you at a party telling you she’s…
