It should be called what it is: Traficking.

It needs to start even earlier than that. I work in a day care and I teach pre-school-aged children consent. "No means no and stop means stop." gets tossed around a lot in my class. They ask for permission to touch or hug. They understand that there are ways to say no that don't involve talking (My class is 4 and 5…

I think this is one of the reasons why 'sex ed' needs to start earlier in schools. Not so they can discuss the biology but things like relationships and boundaries and respect.

maybe if we stopped pretending like it's cute to wear someone down, we could then also stop pretending it's not okay to say yes, too. They go hand in hand...empowering people to make decisions they want by respecting and trusting them when they say what those wishes are.

And to those people I say: My mom went out with my dad because she wanted to meet my dad's roommate. He badgered her into dating him. He had to badger her into marrying him.

They fucking hate each other. It sounds romantic from the outside, but it is not. cute. up. close.

Read Sharleen Joynt's blog - she puts into words how chris felt about whitney so well! She points out the fact that whitney was always picked first in the rose ceremonies, that he never voiced any doubts about her, that he had her meet his best friends in Demoine and had a permanent mural made of them, he, after their…

You need to send that thing to Jezebel HQ so we can all make fun of it in Pictorial.

I do laundry so that we have clean clothes to wear. I cook dinner so that we have something to eat. I go to the gym so that my girlfriend wants to take my clothes off.

Thank you! He breathes so heavy that's audible. He's a total mouthbreather and no one seems to notice this. Every time I would mention it to a fellow watcher they would be like, "No, I never noticed." HOW CAN YOU NOT NOTICE THAT!?!? Dude has a deviated septum or something.

Yeah I do! Some friends of mine really liked her right off the bat but something about her seemed really off to me. I lived in LA long enough to know that despite how beautiful she is, someone standing there with a Free Hugs sign would get a lot of side-eyeing and not nearly as much positive attention as they showed…

Yes nailed it. And emphasis on the M. Girlfriend did too much, all the time.

I think she's in love with the idea of love. I think she's in love with the idea of being married and having a family again. I think she's lonely. I'm a pretty attractive successful woman in a major city and yet I find it extremely difficult to find someone I like so I can't fault her too much. That being said, I also…

I, for one, did not believe that Chris was that into Whitney. It felt like she was just the last one standing so he was like, "Ok, you'll do." I just didn't feel like he truly loved Whitney. Usually during the proposal it's so obvious that the guy has been in love with her the entire time but I wasn't buying it this…

Yes, she really, really was an asshole the ONE time she didn't get the rose on the group date. It was crazy how she went from practically begging Chris to take her home to telling him "well obviously you don't want me here so I'm just going to leave." Whaaaaa???

What's dumb about the two bachelorette schtick is that they pretended to base it off of a torn audience. But when Chris Harrison polled the audience, Kaitlyn was clearly the favorite. I think they are just REALLY set on Britt being the bachelorette.

Kaitlyn was hilarious. Britt cries way too much, and is either hella fake or an accidental asshole. She often said shit that meant well or wasn't intended to be mean but came off that way. Like during the WTA when she implied that she thought she'd still be on the show if it weren't for Carly. Nah girl - way to blame…

Ugh, they're competing? That sucks, it would be so much better if they were BOTH the Bachelorettes and they just threw in a shit ton of dudes for them to pick between. That would actually be a 'surprising twist' and would make for better TV drama. Are you listening, producers?

exactly. It doesn't matter that she has a terrible personality and cried/whined her way onto the bachelorette. She's smoking hot and the guys are gonna go with that. Also, how is bachelor nation divided on this? People booed Britt!

I'm embarrassed to even know this, but it was Kaitlyn who made the "it's not ideal" comment. Britt was mostly staring into the camera and thanking her "fans" the whole time. You could tell Kaitlyn was uncomfortable.

This is a really weird way to announce you're Hillary's new speech writer, Erin.
