I mean, should he even be embarrassed about that? Pretty much every boyfriend I’ve ever had wants his ass played with/fingered.

Sometimes I liked celebrities better when they were mysterious and inaccessible and, most importantly, not on Twitter.

I wont claim to know the circumstances of this break up, but it sounds like for the past few years he has been the king of "WHATEVER BITCH ITS NOT LIKE I LIKED YOU ANYWAY"

Just as an aside to all of this, one of the stories linked says the guy walked in through an unlocked back door. Kids, please: lock your doors. I know you feel like nothing can happen to you at that age, but even if you feel like it’s unnecessary, please please pleasepleaseplease lock your doors. In college my brother…

The photo with the wax Celine is verrrry funny.

as creepy as their marriage started out, i think they truly loved each other. my condolences, celine.

... tell me again about the rabbits George ...

This is wonderful.

A very similar situation happened to someone very close to me; in her case, she was isolated in a car with an older guy guy who had driven her to a remote spot instead of (as promised) driving her home. He didn’t physically threaten her, but she also mentioned feeling paralyzed as he tried to persuade her to let him…

But I think this way of thinking about it is one of the things that helps to endorse rape culture. We think ‘he’s a nice guy that just made a mistake. there shouldn’t be a penalty’ and this really helps to support rape culture overall. There are many situations I have thought of in a similar way, but I think we need…

ewww, no. :(

Yup. You can see it in his questioning. He needs another reason aside from “I don’t want to” for why she is turning him down. As if there HAS to be something else and it can’t simply be that she just wasn’t into him.

there’s also the aspect of being so mind-blowingly narcissistic that other people’s wants and needs just don’t factor in.

the guy kept smiling and saying that if I didn’t take care of him he was going to have to take care of it himself.

Beyond the power aspect (yay! I negotiated past no and got my way!) there’s also the aspect of being so mind-blowingly narcissistic that other people’s wants and needs just don’t factor in. His wants and needs are the only important things.

This has happened to me and he was a good friend up until that night. I also don’t consider it rape, per se, but I was coerced and I have not spoken to him since. He lost my trust and was not the friend he was supposed to be.

*hugs*

Yes. Reading this made me think the exact same thing: almost everyone I know has a story like this. I agree, the answer is to teach women and men how to navigate active consent. Even more, teach women from an early age it’s okay to be assertive, it’s okay to say no. Even as a woman in my early 30's, I am very much…

This is what’s sad for me - there are women who haven’t had these kinds of experiences but I have. Once I was with friends and we were talking about rape and I said “I kind of sort of was. Not really” and they just stared at me. So I talked about the situation. An abusive boyfriend had a key to my apartment. I went…
