For anyone who is confused about whether this constitutes consent, this is a victimization question from the CDC’s national survey:

The argument that this person is making is actually pretty transphobic.

I think your argument is actually offensive to trans* individuals. ANY person should ONLY engage in intercourse with a person who WANTS to engage in intercourse with them. Anything else violates consent. I don’t think it’s good to equate TRICKING someone into having sex with you with being transphobic. It doesn’t do…

Not wanting to have sex with a woman who you did not consent to having sex with is absolutely not trans-homophobia.

for god’s sakes people. Try to put the most important information in the headline. especially when it is about rape. just try.

She comes off as so, so, so, so ignorant to me. “I’m a republican because I believe in the constitution?” I keep thinking she will HAVE to become more progressive if she continues to work for trans* rights. If she doesn’t, I will feel like logic does not exist and baby elephants are not longer THE BEST and I will…

“[I’m a republican] because I believe in the constitution” is pretty much all I need to know I’m listening to an incredibly indoctrinated (and not very thoughtful) person.

I’d like to request a moratorium on criticizing Kylie Jenner.

I can’t believe how her parents could have done this to her. Putting your awkward pre-teen/teenager in the spotlight while her modelesque older sisters go around being modelly and talking about money, money, money, and fashion, fashion, fashion, while, on the flipside the whole, entire world both admiringly AND…

That pose. That fucking pose.

I agree with you. But I hate it that in our country, “political savvy” is, like, literally being a smirky moron. Yet Obama, because he actually tends to talk about how complex and difficult things can be, IS SO WEAK HE’S BASICALLY A BABY AND PUTIN KNOWS IT!!!!!!!! But, yes, agree with you, that W. seems to have had…

uh. . . . .No.

Yeah, I can see the logic. . . .the trolls are here to troll us. They think they are making our uppity uteruses flood our bodies with angry angry uterine tears. And I get that ignoring them sends the message: “you do not affect me the way you are trying to affect me.” Which is probably the right message to send. But,…

I also sometimes feed the trolls. This is one of the only places where I can be like, “HEY YOU ARE SO STUPID” to someone who is saying something stupid about something I care about and know that many, many, may others will agree. So, I’m with you. I try not to fee the trolls, but, damn, it can be occasionally hard.

Thank you! I kept scrolling down, and down, and down, and down, and wondering waiting for the light of reason to appear and for SOMEONE TO SAY THAT WE SHOULDN’T BE TALKING ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL THESE WOMEN WERE.

MARIAN KEYES IS FREAKING AMAZING.

To me, it comes down to the fact that she is causing irrevocable harm to a black child because of the color of that child’s skin. She can say she is not racist, that she loves her child, etc. etc. But, at the end of the day, she is pursuing action that could very likely lead to her child feeling like she is less than…

I think, what’s salient to me about this, is that she has not put the needs of her child above all else. A big part of ANY child’s needs is to feel loved, and not to feel like, because of the color of your skin, you were not wanted, cherished, and celebrated by your parents. This woman has gone a long way to ensure…

The worst part about weeds? (Spoiler alert). When the main character is raped by her husband at the end of an episode. And the show never. ever. ever. addresses it again. You’re totally right—I stayed away from OITNB for a long time b/c of weeds.
