Yes! I'll be the one wearing the shirt that says "I'm a rape survivor, tell me how I was asking for it" on the front and "I'll let you legislate my womb when I can feed your testes to my dog" on the back.

I think add onto that the fact that she just came from her dad's funeral, and this woman deserved a damned metal for putting up with these little boys playing at running a state.
I'm in the same boat. I meet my new boss this afternoon and I'm trying desperately to remember if I put on water proof mascara or not this morning...it's gonna be a long day.
They are super duper cool. They even see transwomen at their practice, are decidedly pro-choice, and really down to earth. I want to share them with everyone. Clone my awesome doctors and hand them out to people that need them.
I go to a practice with a couple of doctors and basically end up going with whoever is free. Two of the doctors (both female) made me feel rushed, broke news to me in a way that was panic-inducing, and one was nearly an hour late for my appointment, but no one told me what was going on.
Personally I've discovered that having a small fluffy white dog makes these commercials so. Much. Worse for me. The Westies don't look anything like Toby, but it's close enough, dammit.
I feel like we need a march. Something that's just like "Hey, if you've ever been sexuall assaulted or abused, show up at x time at y place and let's show the world just how many of us there are." I'll admit I'd be crying the entire time I walked, I think, but fuck if I don't want people to recognize just how many…
I know it would be painful, but I sort of want to make button that says "I'm a rape survivor. Please tell me how I could have done better." I want to wear it all the time and see how many people can look me in the face and do what they do when there's not a set of eyes staring back at them, listening to them spew…
I second yvanehtnloj's (please let me have typed that right) response.
Thanks. Maybe if we let guys like this butthole go a few rounds with a pissed off kangaroo they'll start getting the picture.
I have a ridiculous GIF collection. So ridiculous that my friends celebrated my birthday by having a GIF-off on Tumblr this year. We are children.
As pointed out by another commenter, that music is included in several other Marine training and internal videos. If you cannot respect these men and the organization for the work they are trying to do because of an aesthetic, that's your problem.
I think part of the issue that I'm having (this is after reflecting longer on both videos) is what you pointed out. The Marine video is a response to institutional sexual violence against MEN AND WOMEN. That is an issue that the Australian video does not confront at all. These are really two different messages, one…
Sorry about the incorrect assumption on my part. So much for trying to maintain at least a facade of international awareness. *headdesk*
It's not a PSA, it's an internal training video. And to be frank, you're right, the Australian had a far more blunt speech to present. But I do not believe any less in these Marines that they will prosecute and deal with the people who are perpetrating reprehensible acts. Internal justice in the armed services,…
Keeping in mind it's an internal training video for the Marines, I honestly can't same I'm surprised about the music. They do tend towards the dramatic, as a group.
My apologies if that's how I came off, it honestly wasn't my point. But between here and over on Gawker, 65% or more of the comments I saw were related to "Why can't our military be like this?" And my point was, our military IS like this. Our politicians aren't, and a filthy rotten few commanders aren't. But we…
