This is why I always loved it growing up! In a VERY strict christian household with a domineering and abusive father, I adored Esther’s ability to rise against it all.

It’s always been like this and it’s so creepy. Exactly why I refused to read Jane Eyre, because fucking grooming and creepy-ass almost-pedophilia isn’t my thing.

Don’t forget fucking Outlander, full of “justified” “romantic” rape and abuse...and people ADORE that shit.

Ugh that reminds me of one of my favorite books as a YA, and it was a relgious trilogy about a woman who comes from this isolated planet and ends up falling in love with and marrying the man who captures her and mind-rapes her. Also apparently he’s this future ‘verse’s version of a Jew and their line is supposed to…

See, I’d hate to get really into it and enjoy it and then there’s a horrific rape scene. No bueno.

I grew up ADORING the movie and I watched it hundreds of time, so when I found the book at the library I was super excited...and then I read it and I hated how everything was so different and I just could not get through it. I feel bad about it because I would love to see another movie(PLEAAAASEEE) but I can’t stand…

And this is one of the many reasons why it’s so fucked up that we teach society(girls especially) that boys just can’t control themselves. Period. If you do ANYTHING they cannot control themselves around you and they HAVE to have the right to do whatever they want to you.

Pretty much every popular old-school rock star has gotten away with flat-out rape, because there was no concept of having regrettable sex with a million dollar rock star. You’re both on something and you don’t regret that shit, and if you do, you suck it up because it’s only rape if a stranger jumps out and gets you.…

This! I’m on Depo and looking at switching to Nexplanon, and I’ve never taken oral BC and I doubt I ever will because I’m a clutz. But I’d like to know more about the risks of what I’m on.

Adding him to my list of bisexual stars! Well, maybe not star, but, uh, star-like?

what are you even doing on jez if you clearly think we hate white men? GO BEFORE WE BURN YOU TO DEAAATHHHHH

It’s the whole firmly ingrained misogyny in society. Women are way more likely to blame other women than the men who reject them because everyone in society, men and women, is conditioned to hate and blame women for romantic issues.

gizmodo is such a sexist hell I can’t stand it...I read the articles but NEVER the comments

Yeah, this just means that those who aren’t out as Trans in their unit might be put in the position to come out...and then face all the horrible rape and assault the military is known for.

Because Clinton isn’t in the news right now, because they’re old accusations, because any adult with a brain MUST have heard of it already, etc. take your pick.

Yeah, I saw the same. Hell, someone mentioned Clinton’s list of accusers in a Cosby post(which admittedly was not the best place to put it) and a dozen people came out of the woodwork condemning the original poster for trying to sidetrack the discussion on Cosby and brining up “non-newsworthy” information. Sorry, I’d…

*serial assaulter, ftfy

All of Texas really honest to god is not as bad as you’re thinking. East Texas is worse than you’re thinking though. Deep south stupidity through and through.

Not even a little bit shocked. I’ve hated him since I discovered his stupid machinations got a showrunning fired, all his castmates essentially turned into his supporting cast instead of an ensemble as originally envisioned, and the whole show to focus on his character and exploits. Ewww.

Shouldn’t it be “over two dozen” not “nearly two dozen”?
