I remember the guys who did things when I didn’t want them to, decades after the fact. Some were acquaintances, a couple were “friends”. I often wonder if the one who raped me while I was unconscious even remembers it ever happened (since he denied it to everyone). I kinda doubt he ever even thinks about it. But I do.…

Doctor Nerdlove and Captain Awkward both talk about this extensively on their blogs, usually in conjunction with posts about pickup artist techniques basically teaching men to ignore “soft no”. They both have links to studies that have been done.
This really hit me hard. I had so many, many experiences like this, of being grabbed and groped and assaulted and feeling embarrassed demeaned and trying to laugh it off, mostly in college, but afterwards, as well. I also played the cool girl, the one who hung out mostly with guys because other women were difficult,…
Candice Jackson, her top deputy, literally said this. Then said, “lol just kidding!”
Candice Jackson. The one who said 90% of rapes are women getting drunk and then accusing their former boyfriends of rape six months after they broke up. I sent her a very harshly-worded letter. Never heard back. Also, she’s openly gay, and another “freedom-loving” Christian. She must have an enormous amount of…
Wanted to chime in about heels. High heels, or even medium-height ones, especially narrow-toed ones, are ultimately disfiguring and the cause of myriad problems with the foot, ankle, Achilles’ tendon and leg muscles, yet many workplaces require them. My father was a podiatrist and foot surgeon from the 1940's until…
Men shouldn’t be in positions of power. They’re too emotional. They need to stick with stuff they’re good at, like lifting heavy things.
Scott. I know this is hard. Let’s get that brain working! Anyone can use satire, and any one person or group is fair game. It’s all in the application. Now, if I were a Republican, Trump-voting, cis-gendered white Christian man, this is where I would say something like “Poor snowflake! Go hide in your safe space!…
And ...whoooooosh! went the irony...right over your pretty little head. Also - where did you find me actually stating what I “fight against”? Might you be putting words into my mouth? How very masculine of you!
Or, really, in almost any position of power. They seem to be hormonally incapable of solid reasoning & decision-making.
She used to enrage me, but ever since “alternative facts” and “Bowling Green massacre”, I start to giggle whenever I see her. She may be powerful now, but one day she won’t be, and she will be followed until her death (and hopefully beyond) by those phrases. I’m playing the long game.
My favorite from the L.A. March:
That was funny. Thank you for making my morning.
Or from rape. Every woman’s body has a way of shutting that down. The ovum knows if those spermatozoa are there illegally and says GTFO.
Bye bye!
Brandon Vandenburg! 17 years for orchestrating the gang rape of his girlfriend. Every once in a while, a judge gets it right.
