These men just walk that line of believing sincerely that it’s not really sexual assault unless the woman is beautiful, thin, young, raped at gunpoint, reports it immediately to the police, and proceeds to be so traumatized that she cries herself to sleep every night and dies an old cat lady.

Isn’t that basically a cornerstone of a certain kind of Christianity though, one that carries over from Catholicism and basically governed Christianity’s view of heterosexual interactions for millenia? “Women are bad, because we compel men to do things against their will using our super-strong sexual prowess and…

I have LITERALLY no idea what you are trying to say. Some of us do not speak “millenial texting while half-stoned.”

I mean, the whole concept of sexism that feminism intends to address is the vulnerability of women within a patriarchal context. That doesn’t suggest that women of every identity are more at risk than men of every identity, because intersectionality exists, but it’s not at play here because Kilmer is a rich white man…

Thanks...that’s a good idea. I’m in Salem OR right now and there’s not much in the way of homeopathic medicine, but I’ll be back in the East Bay in Fall. I’ll put it on my list :)

Sounds nice. I actually just don’t even go to the gyno anymore-none of them can figure out what’s wrong with me, mostly they blame me for being in pain, and then try to do things to me that make my pain worse...I’m willing to risk cancer [I know that sounds terrible, but I’ve thought it through and it’s true] to avoid…

It’s my life, babe. Sucks but there you have it.

Oh I love that! A dash cam. You’re so right!

If people are not mature enough to discuss sexual abuse with a sense of respect and decorum, they need to not be having sex.

For sure! I gotta say, driving IS terrifying—and it doesn’t help that the last three accidents I’ve had were all some man running into me. In each of the cases, the man in question totally lied about having hit me at all and wound up paying not one cent to repair my car!

That’s always creepy, in any situation. Way too remniscent of male doctors diagnosing women with hysteria just cuz women have emotions we express, then standing around poking at women’s crotches hoping to fuck us into sanity.

Women the country over are adoring the image of the trophy wife in ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’

WORD. She’s an adult, not just a victim—even if she is being victimized. That’s not her entire personality. She made a choice and she’s going to have to live and die by it, just like we all are.

So what? Lots of women are treated badly. That’s not an excuse.

That’s not really true. Maybe she thinks it is, but there’s nothing stopping her from getting a lawyer who would tell her otherwise.

I very much agree with this. We’ve seen no evidence that Melania actually is being physically abused by Trump. Clearly she’s a victim of patriarchy, but then, so are we all. Women are not obligated to make the choices Melania has made, and she likely has limited her own perspective regarding the choices she has based…

I think she was my first female crush.

Yeah I loved his character. It was awful what happened to him-but it would be great if the franchise apologized, instead of doing this nonsense.

Loved it but didn’t it make queer men seem like pedophiles?
