I don’t think the women who live there have that option. They just have to make the best of the life they have and try to do what they can to make things better there.

“Be better” isn’t advice. It’s bragging.

One of these days, some person will say some insensitive shit about race, and won’t include the hypothetical green and/or purple people in their sorry-not-sorry, or just not-sorry in this case, response and I’ll think to myself, “Progress!”

I was stunned when Frankel implied that women should have sex with men in exchange for capital. I was offended when she expressed some kind of kinship with black women because she’s “loud.” And I was taken aback when she advised those of us in the room to get business advice to hire a white man as the face of our…

What blows my mind is that this is the second story in what, a week or so, where someone was found and spelled out HELP. Weren’t there people on some tiny island that were found because they spelled it out with rocks/coconuts/whatever? I mean, really! Cartoons are true!

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.

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.

I am unashamed to say that I watched this trailer three times in a row.

I still have hope.
