This is the full report that specifically looked at IPV in lesbians, bisexuals, and gay men in comparison to heterosexual men and women. In regards to rape, 98% or more of bi and het women women reported only male perpetrators. The numbers were too small to calculate for lesbians. However, for sexual violence other…

It's beautiful. So you go to the comment that is in reply to you. Hover over the top white. A little arrow appears. Click on it. One of the options is "Dismiss." Use it liberally!
I didn't generalize all men as perpetrators and all women as victims.
Yeah, I have trolls replying to replies within my thread. I need more people to dismiss those instead of engaging with them. I've tried to dismiss all the trolls who replied to me.
I personally am not afraid of my husband, my father, my brothers when they're sober, and several of my friends.

I prefer that interpretation! It's a little more generous than I would give the creator, but I like it.
1 in 3 women in the US have been victims of a form of Intimate Partner Violence. Yay that most of them aren't murdered, this is an extreme example, but it doesn't change the fact that it is an ongoing problem, especially since our society tends to not take seriously forms of intimate partner violence that aren't…
I've already dismissed like five of them. There's a reason that 40% of women killed worldwide are killed by a partner.

I just dismissed like four people all at once. I can't always tell trolls from non-trolls, but I don't want to engage with people who honestly can't see the connection between this story and male entitlement.
While I do appreciate the latter half of that, people with severe peanut allergies could die from exposure. We shouldn't be flippant about that.
What the ever-loving fuck?! Seriously, this is a clear-cut horrifying example of male fucking privilege and the way our society teaches boys they're fucking entitled to girls.
It was just your standard pre-proposal powerpoint presentation. A few pictures of us together at different events. A reminder of how long we've been together, and how great it's been. Pointing out that it's time for premarital counseling, sharing my research on the local options, and asking his thoughts on the…
Thanks! I didn't mean to write you a novel, but I like talking about our relationship. :)
Proposal dibs? I need to hear this story.
From our conversations, I could tell in Autumn 2012 that he definitely needed more time to know if we should get married, while I was ready and rearing to go. Then around Christmas (which we spent with my entire extended family on my mom's side, so big deal), we were talking more about how we wanted to get married and…
If by "traditional" you mean "some minimum standard of thought involved with a pretty ring," then yes, that's what I wanted (and received). We had already set a date and booked the church by the time he officially proposed, but it was still very nice.
