That’s quite wrong, since rape is about power.

LOL. Such bullshit

The feedback you are getting shows you have struck a nerve. Several of them.

No one is suggesting it should.

Yep. Note all of the sexual assaults that happen, en masse, at beaches - especially the nude ones? No? Really?

IOW, women’s bodies are just things to be negotiated over & “gotten” like all those things you just mentioned? I think you know what you can do with that. Sideways.

Not buying it

YES! “intentionally flooding your brain”. And THAT’s why she felt confused & couldn’t make the decision to get up & leave!

That was a TV show. Who do you think wrote that TV show, men or women? Where do you think men in general get the idea to just keep going when a woman says “no”, because she will always say “yes in the end”...? The nuance is not what’s thick in that case.

OMG THIS! A BILLION TIMES THIS! EVERY SINGLE WORD! THIIIIIISSSS!!!!!

I’m thinking it’s that way. I had gotten out of gray awhile back, then something changed & I went back in. [shrug]

Well, it is sexist in that society demands/expects for women to be better than men & so a woman was used as the biggest villain for shock value. If the roles were reversed - a white man & black women - we’d’ve been suspicious from the start.

Of course he was racist. He was also antisemitic & those usually go hand-in-hand. IME, no one ever hates just one innocent group. Makes me wish I actually like d his work, so I could boycott it....

I’m seeing you out of gray. When I inexplicably went back into gray, I figure I have no hope of getting out.

That tiara is the wedding tiara for Swedish Royal brides.

Exactly. This is teasing the stupid media, who are lapping it up, as well as giving publicity to lots of designers.

I see what you mean about the chandelier one - lovely, but I honestly think the very first one is my favorite for her. Of course, she’s lovely & will be beautiful no matter what she puts in.

My little goth is getting married at some vague point in the future, & delightfully shocked me with her pick of a gown: a beaded sequin bodice (ok,halter, but, still) & a HUGE tulle skirt. Yes, she looks like a princess.

I remember one girl (maybe legalyl a woman, I honestly forget) who I swear actually snuffled like a pig (maybe she had adenoids?) while demanding “more crustals” (Maybe it was her accent?). I still feel a creeping guilt at being so judgemental, but she was such a spoiled brat I couldn’t stand it.

Well, a low drop-waist is great for a certain shape: high waisted, long legged, nearly 6 feet tall - IOW, *me*.
