This was absolutely a planned event by that rapist and I can pretty much guarantee that he’s done it before and will continue to do it in the future. “Dear Abby” should have shut her fucking gob about “miscommunication” bullshit and told her to go to the closest rape crisis center for help.

But a girl is responsible for knowing a boy’s intentions - it’s always to sleep with her. Always. The default for any male who sees a female is to try to sex her. Unless he just asked her a question in a bar, jesus, what a bitch, why would I ever try to have sex with an ugly cow like you?

Yeah but your response to “that hurts” should be to stop, or at least pause, & get input from the partner on what to do differently/instead. If the response to “that hurts” is to just keep doing what he was doing and ignore her, that’s rape-y, no matter whether the girl specifically said the word “stop” or not.

This is why you teach your kids about consent as soon as you can. Always reinforce that “No” needs to be respected.

Right. I have an acquaitance who once said that if you go to a guy’s house who is clearly interested in you, you should expect to have sex with him, and I was like, hold the fucking phone. I’m 34 years old and have had sex with a lot of people, and I still expect things to generally progress from kissing, to hands and…

Ann Landers was waayyyyy better. I remember as a kid she said a woman could walk down the street naked and it would still be rape. Miss her.

I could not wrap my head around this - when someone tells you that whatever you are doing is physically hurting them, you stop doing what you are doing. This is a basic thing that we all learn as little kids. There was no break down of communication, he just ignored her.

She told her to tell a counselor at school but didn’t tell her that school counselors are mandatory reporters.

What part of. “Stop, it hurts,” constitutes a breakdown in communication? And this whole, both parties made mistakes bullshit is sickening. This rapist doesn’t need a stern talk from his parents outside of, “when a girl\woman says no and, stop, you’re hurting me, take your fucking hands off of her and take some time…

How much you want to bet that Heidi has a locked drawer in their bedroom and that Ted is completely unaware of its contents?

it surely would’ve been a good idea to ask his wife or daughters how they feel about his anti-abortion restrictions and his stance against paid maternity leave.

The birds are totally going at it. It’s just one of the things that makes the picture such a complete shit show.

I’ve never noticed this until now but that statue they’re next to kinda looks like 3 macaws going at it.

I don’t know if I’m just more woke these days, but I can’t ever recall a campaign cycle where the insider gears ground more conspicuously than they do now.

At the very least, Anderson could’ve asked Ivanka what the fuck is up with this photo.

Here is another much more recent video showing a British journo telling Scott Walker that any British politician regardless of political affiliation would LAUGH at the idea that the theory of evolution is wrong. A journo is literally telling him his bullshit is laughable to his face. I’m sorry to say you’d never see…

I was just thinking the same thing last night watch Oliver on DVR. We bemoan the loss of Jon Stewart but it’s good we have Oliver. Trevor Noah is busy making obvious jokes about Trump’s hair and fingers and interviewing movie stars and other celebrities, Larry Wilmore is handing over most of his airtime to his…

The Australian women’s soccer team had to strike recently - to get their pay raised to minimum wage. Like the US team, they were having greater success than the men’s team, and training as hard. But while the men were earning enough to play as a full-time job, the women were not. They had to work to support themselves…

That game was crazy! I “worked from home” that day so I could watch the game. No regrets.

Full disclosure: I am a HUGE USWNT fan... I am currently wearing my World Champions t-shirt; I traveled all the way to Winnipeg to see them play in the WWC; and when I need a good cry, I watch videos of Wambach’s last-minute goal v. Brazil in the 2011 WWC. Works every time.
