I quit the series after the beating - call it what it was, he used his belt - not because of the beating itself (it's quite correct that women were and still are beaten), but because it was perfectly clear that Gabaldon intended that Claire and Jamie would go right on screwing each other's brains out. And I'm sorry,…

I hadn't read the books when I gave the show a try. When I happened upon the book excerpt of the spanking scene, I knew I wasn't going to watch any more. I found it so, so, so fucked up. She's just been kidnapped and almost raped (TWICE if you count those soldiers in the field) and then the dude who's supposed to love…

It took me a good 100 pages to warm up to him again. I was so pissed. I think DG wrote the entire thing poorly, which didn't help. This scene, at least, was basically weirdass which was the best they could have done because DG insisted the scene be included.

So, as the world was gearing up for Outlanders return, I asked my Facebook feed if it was something I needed to watch. I've never read the books and even though everyone has been raving about the series, I never got into it. But I saw all the positive, feminist-y articles and when my Facebook feed shouted YES at me, I…

I can't even bother with this show. I don't know how close they're gonna stick to the books but the books are pure sexist rape culture. He demeans her, treats her like property, beats her, and rapes her but it's totes cool ladies cause he's like so hot and "protective". Oh and he's so "tortured" too so she can't blame…

I have read a bunch of analyses of this scene this weekend and a few months ago after I read the book and no one seems to bring up the thing that bothers me the most about this whole thing.

As a couple other commenters have said, get something from HRC. They even have Indiana-specific shirts.

Just go as Michelle Bachmann’s husband. They’ll get the point.

Gay sex on the track

Go naked.

I'm naming him Cedric.

Have you ever taken the Voight-Kampff test, Ari?

The lady in the Olive Garden lake of marinara sauce has to choose you, then you have to pull a pasta fork from a block of extra hard cheese.

I know this isn't the "right" response, but I would personally like to beat the shit out of this asshole. Or let Ronda Rousey do it. Basically I'd like a woman to hurt him, because he deserves it.
