You’ve never been in a situation where you felt unsafe? Did you go to college? It is a depressing fucking world and women are vulnerable. I live in an incredibly safe place statistically but women are stalked and harassed and attacked on a fairly regular basis here just because they are walking alone on our trail…
There are al sorts of ways to be assaulted that stop short of rape. Being followed and harassed is incredibly common.
Planned Parenthood is a phenomenal organization that has helped hundreds of thousands of women, which is precisely why the GOP hates them so much. I wish you would have spit in their faces.
A planned parenthood in Ohio was the only place that would treat me when I was having pregnancy complications with no health insurance. I was visiting family, and just found out I was pregnant the day before I left. I woke up one morning during my visit with intense cramping and severe bleeding. I had no idea what to…
Every time I see one of those “We shouldn’t be accepting Syrians until we save our homeless” I sooo want to comment, “Well, what the fuck are you doing to make that happen? Because posting a meme on Facebook sure as shit doesn’t help.”
Yeah, funny that food banks and homelessness don’t come up until other, more repugnant, issues are discussed. I thought the homeless deserved what they got, because personal responsibility? Now suddenly they’re infinitely important because we don’t feel like taking in refugees?
Exactly. His association with HIV sets education back at least a decade, if not more. If I was an HIV educator, I would be smacking my head.
Okay, but can we feel bad for HIV because of the stigma associated with Charlie Sheen?
Can we not retcon Mr. Sheen into some kind of unwitting victim? He was reckless, careless, and indifferent to the well being of his partners and he then went on to trash those partners, blaming them for his infected status.
But two separate people have said that is not the case. Sorry Charlie Sheen is a world class asshole who does not get the benefit of the doubt.
And given that he claimed he informed all of his sexual partners that he had HIV when he very obviously did not, it’s hard to take his word for it that his virus loads are undetectable now/that he had any idea what they were then.
Yes THANK YOU. Pretending this is simply about the fact that he has HIV is ridiculous. It’s the insane lying and subterfuge. He didn’t HAVE to pay off anyone to keep it a secret, he chose to. And his woe-is-me “that’s money taken from my children” bullshit is infuriating. The money he blew up nose and spent on sex…
Charlie Sheen LIED to multiple women about his status, paid extra for prostitutes to let him not use condoms, LIED again about ‘always using protection’ when multiple exes claim they were never informed till well after the fact, gong so far as to tell his last ex ‘I’m clean,’ when he KNEW he was positive. Then he goes…
Totally. I think the stigma is more that Charlie Sheen is a dirtbag. I felt really bad for people who are HIV+ who now have to find themselves associated with him.
Sheen is still a complete asshole for not telling his partners that he was infected with an STD. I can’t disassociate that from Charlie Sheen. He is no Angel here. I don’t understand why Gawker media is glossing over this.
If I knowingly have sex while carrying an STD and don’t know tell my partner I am a complete…
I’ve said it before but Joel McHale dm’d me on Twitter once and it’s literally one of the top 10 things that has ever happened to me
I’ll miss the chicken tetrazzini woman
Your boss probably feels secure that there will be no ramifications for that behavior. Which is probably accurate and also total bullshit
Exactly.
