they know exactly what they are doing ... deep down in their evil bunny hearts, they know

you will talk when and if it's your time ... even when i was in therapy, it didn't help, because i would have a debilitating asthma attack if i so much as thought about my abuse ... but as the years passed, i survived enough negative life experiences that i stopped feeling like a helpless,…

i almost soiled my armor

ah yes, the "how to be more pure" and "eat like a saint" features put many a lass off her porridge

as to number 2, i think it's kind of like movie stars getting a pass for bad behavior ... because, deep down inside, people want to be like them ... but number 1, hell yeah

horses ... dogs ... factory workers ... soldiers ... undocumented immigrants ... what's the diff?

an illness does not exist until the corporate media starts sensationalizing it ... that is why it did not exist "amongst young people, particularly girls" until the 1970's

i'm gonna go out on a limb and estimate that this mother lost a good five years off her life in the moments that her child was in the hands of a stranger with evil intent ... and i'm pretty sure that the lives of her and her daughter will never be the same ... because neither will ever enjoy another moment of…

i am genuinely surprised by the degree of multi-cultural ignorance being displayed here ... long before pasty white babies were being born in the land we now call "amurka", babies the world over were getting their ears pierced ... babies in north america ... south america ... europe ... africa ... asia ... australia…

piercing the young is as old as the hills, and the holes don't migrate ... sheesh

i can barely handle a stranger giving me an eye exam, so the thought of one giving me a crotch grope terrifies me ... it could easily trigger a ptsd episode in which i would meekly comply but then spend the rest of my journey in a dissociative state ... followed, of course, by rage at knowing that my rapist has "won"…
