It means, “Some people believe my accusers and I don’t like that.”  

The problem is also that you really don’t know how you’re going to react when it happens. Flight, fight, freeze? it’s not a conscious response.

I had a man in a major US city come at me and threaten me with physical violence on a major city street in broad daylight for rejecting his advances (fortunately other people intervened on my behalf). I’ve been called an ugly bitch, a cunt, whatever, just for ignoring dudes. Guys getting out of their cars,…

I’ve done the same, and the men usually respond with something like, “I was just saying hello, you crazy bitch”. There’s no way to win with these men. 

As a female person, I had a lifetime of catcalls, attempted rape, attempted kidnapping, stalking and all the rest to contend with. (As a child I was molested by a neighbor.) One thing I found is that when I was aggressive in return, these men were less likely to mess with me. (Of course there’s always the chance this…

“No thanks, I have a boyfriend.” - His thoughts: ‘She’s a liar’ or ‘fuck her for fucking other men.’

The sheer number of #notallmen apologists I’ve seen on other threads, whining about “so what, now we can’t even talk to women?” or publicly patting themselves on the back for not being murderers and rapists makes me want to give up on humanity altogether. They don’t get it, they never will, and worst of all, very few…

I think the issue here is solely semantics. A phrase was created to speak to a very specific phenomenon, so when used to describe other things it doesn’t fit. Always happens with words outside of academic use. That being said, SO MUCH OF OUR SOCIETY IS BUILT AROUND CAPITALISM AND CAPITAL that to find a useful phrase…

Relationships are work, though. Not all work is paid, nor does it necessarily make sense to change that. But they are work, and they do involve labor. Being there for someone to rant to, providing them emotional support and/or advise, scheduling future get-togethers, figuring out how to communicate with different…

Cast Octavia Spencer properly, you cowards.

Merrit Weaver was the only compelling part of Godless, and every time she was on screen I felt a deep yearning for a different version of the show where she was the main character.

I loved everyone and everything in Nurse Jackie... But Wever owned Nurse Jackie.

Merrit Wever is incredible, and the fact that someone cast her and Toni Collette together (Unbelievable) is probably my favorite thing from this year.

Normally I get empathetically embarrassed watching clumsy or awkward people embarrass themselves, even in movies where I know they’re acting.  Merritt Wever seems to be the sole exception to this. She’s just a joy to watch do anything at all. 
 

You're giving them WAY too much credit. They know they're doing it. But they think it's OK because they earned the right to do it by EPing a TV show/running a studio/being born into a real estate empire. These things are somehow such incredible evidence of being elect that all women are supposed to desire their…

My childhood bestie used to insist on eating dinner with her family while wearing Barnabas Collins fake fangs.

Maybe, think about this: “destroying the career” of someone who assaults women might improve the functioning of a system? Just a thought

It’s almost like keeping predators away from women improves things for the women in question

I will never understand people who genuinely don’t get why sexual predators should face consequences for their actions

I mean considering it’s part of an overall pattern with him I don’t think we can just discount it
