wait is Mark leaving us? *searches for appropriate sad meme, cannot find pictorial representation of sincere grief*

A dog who is sad you are leaving: FREE

YES. I read it, and as an artist with an anxiety disorder and depression it made me love her even MORE. And Cher’s tweet made me get a lil weepy. I love it when women support other women. It is the best damn thing in the world.

No I didn’t but I’d like to! Is it online somewhere? I love her so much, to know that she suffers from anxiety as well is surprising but man.....she is such a beast for getting through it and being as successful as she is.

Did you read the interview with Missy about her anxiety and panic attacks? This woman gives me ALL THE CONFIDENCE, and the fact that she is doing this while overcoming anxiety and shit? ALL THE FUCKING LOVE!!

When she took the stage a couple of years ago in Lauderdale she waited for the crazy applause to die down, gripped the mike between her sparkling fingers and gave a shout out: “Bitches, what are are your grandmothers doing tonight?”

I know, right? The MRA trolls are THICK on this thread - no idea how they got in the black. I wish people would stop responding to them. Lots of “rape never happens, feminists made it up” garbage. Hope they don’t have wives, sisters, or daughters!

most of the violence committed in the united states is against men

I get that. I just like the UV ink on mine. It's like, haha fucker, you can't wash that off!

Well, I am a lesbian and the only male friends I have that aren't family are gay, so I don't really have a fear of any of them attacking me. I have been assaulted and raped before. Only once was it by someone I didn't know. Even though it is a false sense of security to carry these items, it's at least something, you…

I’m sorry, but rape is a real thing and minimizing the feelings of insecurity a lot of women have is not ok. Women should be able to feel secure in the public space.

I’ve been raped and sexually assaulted. I’ve had my house broken into twice. I’m not paranoid, I’m being proactive.

Are you talking about an elk antler? Because that’s what I carry and it can break a man’s femur and easily gouge out some eyes. It's badass.

I had a great keychain attack stick that was confiscated right after 9/11 because I forgot to take it off my keyring before heading to the airport. I was so thankful to go to an all girls school who had a special instructor come into our gym class and show us how to use them. I'm even more thankful that I never had to…

I actually got them from my mom, who got them from a woman at work selling with a company called Damsels in Defense. I don’t know if you can buy directly from the website or not, but you can check out their website.

Can you link to those on Amazon Mindymoo? I think I'd like to own something like that.

I carry pepper spray that has ink in it that is visible under a UV light for up to 72 hours, even if the person tries to wash the shit off. I also carry this tool that can easily shatter a femur or take out an eye with enough pressure. I haven’t had to use them and hopefully never will, but it’s nice to have a little…
