I also don't get why they took this model in the first place if they were going to photoshop it like that. If you want a skinny model, take a skinny model, how hard is that?
You're probably right.
I think sometimes it may take a while before people dare to admit that what happened to them was rape, but that's not really 'deciding', that's more stopping the denial.
I think you and I have a very different group of people in mind when we talk about feminists...
That's sweet of you. :)
Oh come on, now you're just being ridiculous.
Bullies abuse men and women. I don't see where you're trying to go.
Oh god. Do these people have no regard for their health (and my dinner)?
It's possible to be a victim and a perpetrator at the same time, though. A lot of bullies were bullied or abused themselves. Quite some rapists were raped themselves. That does not give them an excuse - it might sometimes explain why someone does something but it does not make it an excuse.
With all due respect but I think I'd honestly rather be alone than be part of a community like that. Sometimes it's best to cut people out of your life.
That sucks. :/
Like I said, I don't need to be told not to trust people. I'm enough of a paranoid cynic the way it is.
I lost some friends because they just abandoned me, and then I lost the others because they were fucking with me so I got rid of them. Rather no friends than "friends" who claim it wasn't rape. There's nothing hard to prove about my particular situation, by the way: I have video evidence, I have at least 2 witnesses…
Believe me, I don't need to be told not to trust people. There is currently one person whom I trust, and it's my boyfriend.
I've also heard way too many people say that it wasn't rape because I let him enter my house. They will turn it and twist it to find a way to make it sound like it's my fault, believe me.
Yeah, well, that's not the kind of feminism I identify with, and it is despicable.
Sorry, none of this makes any sense to me. Maybe I should try rereading it all after my exams, when I've had some more sleep.
How, exactly, do feminist organizations make money off of rape?
If victim-blaming doesn't exist, then I must have imagined the cop I went to report to. He asked me what I had been wearing. I said my pyjamas because I planned on going to sleep. He asked if I wore a bra. I said no, no one sleeps with a bra. He laughed at me and said "you wouldn't have been raped if you had not…
