To protect and serve and rape? Jesus. I remember being pulled over in the boonies on my way home by a CHP and I would only crack the window enough to slip my driver's license through. He said, "I stopped you for speeding." I said, "I realize that, but I'm a woman driving alone on a deserted highway and I had no idea…

Every time I read the words "forcible rape"

YES thank you for getting it

Excellently put. Really great response that said most all the things I was going to say, so I won't be redundant by repeating them.

I'm a plus-sized woman. Knowing how it feels to be degraded because of my body is not something I want ANY other woman to experience. It's not cool to comment on any other woman's body negatively. Don't do it.

Trolls? Please. A troll is someone who says offensive things to get a rise out of people. The people who call you out for saying offensive things are not trolls. You did NOT say "I find this woman more attractive because she looks like me and my body type. I'm glad there are more woman who represent the average or…

Hmm. It's not so much that I'm particularly interested in defending any of your examples, so much as that I'm very worried by the way that femme aesthetics have become conflated with the male gaze. What's considered an "authentic" lesbian aesthetic is butch, androgynous, masculine-of-center, just as "real lesbians"…

It's the calling of skinny models "skeletons" that is pissing people off. Be happily attracted to thicker women, but you don't have to be a dick about women you don't find fuckable. Do you get that?

Body positivity: this is NOT the way to do it.

OK this, this right here pisses me off. And I know it shouldn't. Yes, there should be more body diversity in fashion. Yes, women of all shapes, sizes, colors, anatomies, etc. are beautiful and should be represented. NO the language of the discourse should not be "this 'plus size' REAL woman is better than all those…

Holy shitsnacks, I've been emasculating my husband for years and never even knew it! Excuse me, I'm off to push my stiletto clad foot into his head while shrieking "YOU LOVE IT! YOU LOVE IT, WORM!" in my best harpy caw.

There's a reason for the existence of the term "manflu".

Not to be a kiss ass here in Jezdom, but I have never seen a person "work through the pain" like women. NEVA.

You are supposed to say something self effacing like "But i have much better taste in partners' than she does" and then we'd be like "OH YOU."

The fact that you are making a value judgment about swooping is incredibly emasculating.

"And swooping is bad"

My son wasn't feeling well the other day and my wife was pulling things out of our garage for the ARC folks. My son helped her in spite of not feeling well and she told him that is a very manly thing to do and stroked his little 11 year old boy ego in an effort to compliment him for the work. Later I asked her why…

That's what my gynecologist said to me.

The rape was reported on Oct. 31. Results of the rape kit came back on Feb. 10
