Yep. Nobody is ever owed a relationship, and everyone deserves the right to choose the people they want to include in their lives.

You can bury your head in the sand all you want, but there’s a pattern of men being violent against women.

Women are murdered every day in this country because they are....women. The “urgency” is not just the literal life and death situations that women find themselves in due to misogyny; the everyday struggle of women in this country to survive on sub-par wages and with patriarchal constraints that keep them from having a…

My friend was dating a very controlling guy in college.

I’ll never forget when I was dating this man three years ago and one day he proceeded to get strangely aggressive toward me and controlling. I looked him in the eye, tried my best not to look scared and proceeded as normal with cooking, and he backed off of his “weird mood.” But I felt like I escaped something. Then…

Suicidal thoughts? Sure, if you only kill yourself. Otherwise, they are called homicidal thoughts. Wish people would stop taking other people out with them. So selfish.

Yes, but that’s not really the point. Her friend was killed because of her ex boyfriend's anger towards her decision to break off the relationship. This is a fear women face while dealing with controlling significant others. It is an unfortunately reality that we have to deal with.

I’m feeling less desk smashy and more crushed under the weight of this shittiness. I’m deep in Niedergeschlagenheit.

Short answer: they’re mad that their shitty worldview is being correctly called out as racist, and instead of reflecting on their racism, they decide to puff up like a heretofore-undiscovered tropical fish. “HOW COME RAPPERS CAN USE THE N-WORD,” the fish bloops out, “WHY ISN’T THERE A WHITE HISTORY MONTH.”

The reason why “Black Lives Matter” is a meaningful mantra is the fact that so many people clearly believe the opposite. No one is saying “Black Lives Matter More Than ...,” they’re saying “Black Lives Matter The Same As Every One Else.”

Well that tweet also read “if he’s alive today”. So stupid+stupid=stupid.

Twitter can be such a shitshow. I love it, but it gives such a free pass for people to be horrible and ignorant.

I will never understand how people seem to think that someone saying "Black lives matter" somehow means "everyone else's life doesn’t" like what kind of mental gymnastics does someone go through to need to shout ALL LIVES MATTER in response?

Well. Apparently they can. Frankly, I'm scared. I'm obviously not expecting a lot from politicians but this is some next level cognitive dissonance shit. It's like the All Lives Matter people are not capable of reading and very basic comprehension of the societal troubles they're facing.

“All lives matter” is the smarmiest, most disingenuous erasure of a movement that malicious and clueless white people could have come up with. To apply this to Dr. King, his work, or his life is almost violent in its untruth. Fuck this parade of assholes in the ear.

Oh my fucking god, if these people can remove race from MLK’S LEGACY, they are truly out of their minds. It’s actually hilarious. (Not funny, but hilarious.)

It was an important catalyst for women to have real discussions and to question choices, goals, options. A phenomenon like this is never about the TV characters—in the case of that show it was about women gathering to watch and discuss the show and examine it vis-à-vis how it related to their own lives. In that sense…
