Agree. My husband was raped by a much older female relative while growing up. Numerous times. Anyone violating anyone in such a way is fucked up. And bringing feminism into it doesn't change that. The fact of the matter is that rape is about power as much as anything else, and to be totally honest, I'm uncomfortable…

I know I'm kind of butting into your argument, but believe it or not, not everyone with ovaries who comments here is believing what you're saying, or even feels the same way. I read the story, not watched the show but just read the story here, and yeah, that's unquestionably rape. And that's something which is wrong,…

I think it's interesting to see scenes like this come in, and that it's not just this show either. The last few weeks have also seen something on Lost Girl (a canadian buffy/true blood type show) wherein the female protagonist (a succubus) was sexing up a stranger she brought home, her roommate comes home, and she…

I used to use it from time to time, but it clogs the follicles (for me, at least) and caused my hair to thin, so I had to stop using it. It's definitely a godsend for those who can use it without adverse affects, though. :D

Some people shower daily, some don't. I'm not a fan of it, it dries out the ends of my hair, though the conundrum presented is that the roots of my hair get really oily when I don't. So I just pull it up half the time, works just as well and my skin isn't miserable as a result. My mother's a good example of showering…

Yeah, definitely. My little sister and I used to watch Avatar together when I was a teenager, though not regularly enough to follow it or anything. It wasn't until after binge watching LoK that I got enthused enough to do the same with Avatar, and all I have to say is I respect the hell out of the show's creators…

>.> Will you link me? My tumblr-fu is weak, but that sounds amazing. Also, totally not bugging me! LoK has officially made it to the realm of being one of my interests, which means I could talk incessantly about it until I'm dead, rehashing over and over and turning moments over for new nuances until I'm dead and be a…

It's sad that it's such a way that you'd need to pay for it yourself, but good that you can. Another friend of mine, Shaine, actually lives in Oregon, and was so stoked to find this out as they've been looking into top surgery as well, hitting puberty caused them horrible gender dysphoria when they hit adolescence, so…

Damn that's shitty. A friend of mine has been working on trying to get back to an endocrinologist because when she started taking estrogen in the hopes of starting to transition, she wound up having a horrible reaction to it, and is still looking to continue with the transition when she can. I am a cis female, and I…

TBH, that's true, and it's sad. I think the party system is one of the big things destroying the country, and part of the reason why is stuff like that I felt defensive when you said that and I'm not even 'liberal', but consider myself progressive/communist who just thinks that people shouldn't be forced to live in a…

Ever play monopoly where the goal of the game is for one person to take all the other people's money and bankrupt them? That's capitalism. BTW: Walmart is killing it, with the Walton family holding almost 40% of the country's wealth, and making most of that money off of food stamps, that have to be subsidized by the…

It's the same delicious hypocrisy that allows most of the ones using religious indignance over things like gay marriage to be alright with cutting health care in general for the weak, elderly, handicapped, and children on public healthcare and the same with foodstamps, not remembering that the bible also says that how…

Like... they think this can happen spontaneously or on accident? What are we here, clownfish, coral reef fish? (Link, because spontaneous sex change in the animal kingdom is fascinating: http://evolutionfaq.com/articles/sex-c…) Seriously though, the people who you have to deal with are idiots from the word go.

If it helps you to picture the scenario in your head: Even when you call things pesky terms like rape and sexual assault, and even when there are possible years in prison or AIDS as a deterrent, 1 in 5 women (in the US alone) is sexually assaulted in her lifetime. That's 20%, doesn't seem too far from the 33% figure…

In the United States, statutory minimum wages were first introduced nationally in 1938. This is not a "punishment" to expect any business to pay a living wage. This is the law. And the above quote expounds on the purpose for putting that law in place. You can play dumb or disagree all you want, but the minimum wage…

Except that the average 'fry cook' as you put it is an average of 28 years old, with at least 1 child, if not 2. What "should" be in your eyes does not match with the current, actual, statistically and taxable, provable reality. You are LITERALLY so deluded you can't separate your dream of what "should" be in your…

No one gets out of my class without being able to find the clitoris!

In a depressing amount of parts in America even. Reminds me of the season 2 episode of Orange is the New Black, when Laverne Cox's character had to make a diagram and explain it to the inmates, and the way most of them didn't believe her.

I love the palette used, and the predominance of pink and blue and purple in warm shades. My favorite is definitely the first one with the ear muffs. It's adorable. Happy New Years to you too!

I'm angry at HUMANITY for that being a thing, tbh.
