I hate that there’s so many of these stories, but I want them to keep coming out. Across every industry, every corporation, government, every aspect where women and vulnerable people can subjected to abuse, these stories need to come out.

If CK wants to jerk off in front of women, all he has to do is hire a hooker for 45 seconds. This isn’t about satisfying a harmless kink—it’s about dominance and intimidation.

I cried almost all night last night because a coworker did/said 2 inappropriate things to me in the span of 2 weeks. He was someone I liked, I found harmless and nice and still don’t feel threatened by, just disgusted and humiliated. I took a mental health day today to figure out how to report him. He’s been with the

Go home.

Yes! Guys, take notes, if you were looking for a way to help, this is it. This is literally it! Speak out when it happens AND speak out even when it’s someone you know and like.

“Cause an initial cursory look into this”

Yeah, push past that initial cursory look. 

I get anxiety just asking a colleague if they can cover a shift. Men are okay asking their female colleagues if they can masturbate in front of them.

He asked, and then didn’t listen and did it anyway. So no consent involved.

Thank you. I was anticipating the kink argument coming out, and I have absolutely no patience for it. If coercion wasn’t the appeal of these acts, he could have and would have found women who didn’t work with him to play sex games with.

No, see here’s the thing. When you have power in a workplace and you “ask to consensually masturbate” someone can’t actually give proper consent because they risk losing their job if they say no.

So yeah guys, if you’re like, “I don’t know what I personally can do to help!”, the thing to do is to call out men, ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDS AND COWORKERS AND ACQUAINTANCES when they are creeps and abusers. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances.

And your comment just made me put two and two together and I finally realized it’s coming out during Black History Month.

I’ll take a cat. Independent. Aloof. Uncaring. Probably a devil. My family would totes agree with all that.

You may also be a cat or a vampire. Either way, watch your garlic intake for a few days to be safe.

That’s an excellent idea! I’m going to the D.C. African American museum on the 25th, so my month is gonna be BLACK AS FUCK. I will try to take off a day or two, at least.

I already requested Feb 12-23rd off work. I’m not joking. I’m going to see it in every gotdamn theater in NYC. I’m so fucking hyped for this.

In my Black Nerd group, we all plan to drape ourselves in our finest African outfits and fabrics, with maybe a cosplayer or two among us, and take over the Brooklyn Alamo. We ain’t playing.

I’m dialing the obnoxiousness all the way up to 11 when this movie drops, IDC.

I am deceased and continue to be deceased every time a new Black Panther-related thing comes out. I’m gonna be soooo obnoxious come February.

My non-avatar cat is stoked and awaiting additional internetal details.
