Do you legitimately not understand the comparison being made in the quote? That:

Kindly don’t tell women to not be occasionally be afraid of men when the vast majority of women on this site alone could give you a story confirming why they're right to occasionally be afraid of men.

You seem to be deliberately misunderstanding the quote. Fear and wariness don’t equate to avoiding; they’re simply what we are often thinking of. It speaks more to the culture and pattern of male violence. It’s in the back of our heads, because of things like this. That’s what the quote is about. The fact that you’re…

They are (were?) a fun band, which made the attack all the more shocking. You don’t go to a EODM show to think too hard. But Jesse’s always had a bit of a screw loose, which is why I feared this thing might push him over the edge.

I was in Paris last week with my mom and sister on a layover, so we hired a driver to take us on a tour of Paris because my sister had never been and we only had about 6 hours. He was a very nice guy, born in France to Lebanese parents. He was telling me about his experience since the attacks last year as someone who…

There was a rumor* about Sheen and Haim on the set of Lucas that was around for years before Feldman started speaking out and some of the things he was saying seemed to support the rumors. But Haim would’ve been 14 or 15 when Lucas was filmed. The rape that occurred when he was 11 was several years before Haim’s first…

Absolutely. My ultra conservative family still dismisses my liberalism because I’m “young.” But I get more liberal, in terms of what they would consider liberal, as the years go on. If I’m a 35 year old with a spouse, a mortgage, a buncha kids, have now been in the work force for 20 years, how much more of an adult do…

I’m in my thirties now and working in legal aid. I would have to have an actual brain injury and total amnesia to see what I see every day in the lives of my clients and turn around and become conservative. If you open your eyes to the reality of the effects of politics on people’s lives, I don’t know how you can…

My best friend and college roommate for three years is a conservative, and was a member of the college Republicans. He was (and is) an exemplary conservative and one whom I wish the party was full of.

Tormund is the king of the glad eye!

She also takes being a knight very seriously and Tormund is an uncouth wildling with no class. I mean, she’s very likely the best knight in Westeros, considering she’s a badass fighter and more honorable and loyal than the vast majority of other knights (Ser Davos is honorable and loyal to a fault, sure, but he was…

That was what I meant. She’s afraid he’s mocking her and therefore wouldn’t dare to show interest for that would make her vulnerable. And no, she’s not most women, but we know she has a thing for wild-looking men with beards, so if she wasn’t scared of being made fun of she would probably be into it.

I think Brienne’s from the South so she doesn't know shit about Wildlings so she doesn't understand Tormund is coming from a culture that values badass warrior women. I hope he gets a chance to prove himself to her.

Is it just disgust or is there a bit of hurt on her face as well? Like here she is still being F-d with by some dude who just wants to feign romantic interest and then f her over. But no Brienne, Tormund is all real.

I love this so much. His eyebrow says “I want your body,” while his slightly awkward grin says, “I want to hold your hand and find out what all of your favorite things are but I’ve never had that feeling before and don’t know what do next.”

The Iron Born is a Patriarchal culture so Theon was the rightful heir to the Throne. He had to cosign because it was his by right so he had to abdicate that right to support his sister (who has proven throughout the show that she is worthy of the throne).

Brianne i love you but never question ser davos true king of westeros’ honorable intentions EVER AGAIN

Actually, the latest theoretical quantum physicists all agree that time is a piece of wax that’s falling on a termite, who’s choking on the splinters.

Or a work of art. He basically is spelling out his guilt to anyone with half a brain and less than the usual amount of racism.

Didn’t get drafted...SO HIS DREAMS AND SPIRIT WERE CRUSHED? And then he picked himself up by the bootstraps and served his community? And these women (who were not even, you know, like credible soccer moms) took that from him? STOLE IT FROM HIM? WITH THEIR MONEY GRUBBING LIES?!
