Like that's even the same thing. Clearly you don't understand what being a woman is like. If a man's nudes leaked, no one would call him a whore or a slut. No one would think he's a bad person for it. Stop trying to shift blame off yourself.

Yeah, sorry we expect to be treated like people here.

That's gross and unnecessary.

I'm not active enough online to receive unsolicited dick pics (the ones I receive from my long-distance boyfriend are completely different >.>), but I've always thought that if I did, I'd respond saying, "HAHAHA! You call that a dick? THIS is a dick" and I'd attach a picture of my nine-inch strap-on.

I understand where you're coming from. I really do. Did you miss the part where I said, yes, these are things I don't (currently) have to deal with? Did you miss the part where I said that these conversations are important and that I can learn from them?

That begs the question, of course, what is the appropriate context to portray violence against women as a plot device meant to further the story of a male character?

So you wouldn't go stay with someone else if a stranger who had your address threatened you saying they'd "drink your blood out of your cunt after I rip it open"? Not even to be safe?

This person had her address and the address of her parents.

That's the symptom of the disease, not the disease itself. The disease itself is the culture that allows these children to 1) get away with this shit and 2) makes rape out to be something to get attention, not a real issue.

Yeah, it's her who's ruined the discourse, not the whackjobs posting her address and threatening her family.

I think it's less about telling artists what to create than it is criticizing the created product and citing sources to back up her claims. That said, a reasonable discussion is incredibly useful in these situations.

It's not irrelevant. For the reasons you just speculated about. There is a growing conversation about bisexuality. Coming out may alleviate misconceptions that exist about bisexuality. No one should come out as anything unless they want to, of course, but within the context of bisexual erasure and pressure to "pick a…

Yes. We're oppressed in different ways. That's a way you're oppressed that I'm not. Hence different from my situation.

But your sexuality is still valid even if you don't act on it. Some priests are gay. Some nuns are straight. This is just an example, but just because they're not acting on it doesn't make them any less sexual.

Ugh. Thank you so much for writing this. Trying to combat the ignorance is physically exhausting.

To provide another point of view, no. I don't feel buried in my monogamous relationship with a man. We're both bisexual. Just because we're together doesn't make us straight now. I keep a lived identity by going to pride events and trying to make a difference for queer people. I keep a lived identity by noticing women…

We don't have to be against each other. I don't get why you don't see this. By your logic, a gay person who stays in the closet their whole life, marries a person of the opposite sex, and has sex with them is obviously heterosexual, not gay. We all know that there have been people who were (and still are) forced to…

Don't tell people they're not queer enough to be accepted by the community. You can acknowledge that difference and still be inclusive.

He's her boss, too. So inherent power imbalances are already in place.

Just to piggyback off of that - queer can be a blanket term for our community that can include everyone. Sometimes it's hard to do that, even through the acronym (LGBT). Because there are asexuals and pansexuals and demisexuals and people who identify as non-binary and people who identify as a woman sometimes and a…
