In my experience working with at-risk kids, this is ABSOLUTELY true. Young girls are EXTREMELY at risk for trauma and abuse, and also at risk for being sent to jail because of that trauma. It’s sickening.

Yeah, like, okay, I get it, it’s a he-said-she-said, but when there are several shes you’d think they’d count more than one he, right? NOPE. It’s like we live in the middle east or somethere where you need five men as witnesses to verify a woman was raped.

And also he was abusing boys, not girls, which instantly makes it take priority on the world stage.

Horrifyingly, yes.

Also Cosby. Like, I know in my head WHY but it just seems so incomprehensible that there’s not a single person in the know who feels a glimmer of humanity and empathy for his victims and sees him as the monster he is. Like sometimes I want to just go undercover and get close to these dirtbags just so I can flip on…

True. It’s just so sickening to think of what these monsters get away with.

How the hell has he been accused so many times and buried it so many times? You’d think someone would noticed a fucking trend. After all, isn’t this how they catch most serial rapists? Because they leave a trail?

He looked so damn bored I was cackling. Meanwhile Biden is practically nodding along...

And a lot of social conditioning is codified in written and unwritten social laws(i.e. rape victims aren’t taken seriously by cops even though rape is illegal because it can only happen to “weak” people, usually women, or how domestic violence is assumed to be majorly perpetrated against women and rarely prosecuted…

Um, how are we not? Remind me again? Because I’m pretty damn sure I attempt to vote politicians into office who share my beliefs and will ideally put pressure on these other societys. Equal rights isn’t a damn zero-sum game, like we can’t worry about our own inequality without fixing it everwhere else. That’s bullshit.

Jesus christ, when did all the misogynistic trolls from Giz move over to Lifehacker?? NO there is not gender eqality, NO it’s not a fucking made up problem. JFC. You guys are LITERALLY THE ONE WHO NEED TO WATCH THE VIDEO.

Or, MAYBE, just maybe, you’re the extremist? Jez is pretty damn mid-line liberal, it’s just not frothing ragingly conservative like Giz.

Ah okay, yeah, I agree. I’m sorry if I came across too rude; it’s hard because I’ve had huge knockers since I was 15 and every so often a perky young lady with C or D cups will tell me how they totally understand and get how hard it is to carry around ten pounds on your chest when they’re still 100% self supporting.…

No offense, but if you’re wearing a properly sized DD then they’re...not actually that big. Not when there are people with a 14 inch difference between their bust and their band(DD is 4 inches). They might be big on you, but in the grand scale, they’re actually average sized.

go visit the subreddits(reddit, I know, sucks, but these are AMAZING communities) r/abrathatfits and r/braswap! LOTS of cheap amazing bras!

Are you kidding me? If I didn’t have a bra my I cup boobs would literally destroy my back and shoulders.

I definitely look older than I am. I’ve been offered alcohol at places when I was 16, while my 30-yo sister is getting carded. I’ve had 60-yo men hit on my 14-yo self because they thought I was 17. Now that I’m actually a grown-up, I still get told I look/act like I’m in my goddamn 30s instead of 20s.

Rockport is a nice place, but I understand your reluctance to leave your older child. It is sad how few options are available to people in need.

I wish I could do something to help, but honestly my only advice is go to the cops. I know it’s pithy and they likely won’t do anything, but it’s all I got. If you can get to a detective they can pull his records from the jail and it should be enough evidence for a restraining order.

Several hours south of SA. Mid-size city. We have a very nice women’s shelter here but you can only stay X period of time, which wouldn’t be very helpful if he’s still in prison. Do you keep any recordings of the calls? That can be used as evidence to take to the cops, at the very least to get a restraining order(not…
