It may be, but it’s still a pretty potent intimidation tactic. Victims of sexual violence are plagued by fear that they won’t be believed if they come forward, and knowing there is tape of them saying that everything in their shoot went well compounds that.

There should be a trained advocate chosen by the performer for each shoot. That advocate meets with the performed ahead of time and has authority to temporarily halt shooting.

Frankly, nothing’s going to help unless performers are paid in advance with money electronically transferred into a secure account BEFORE any filming takes place.

Look, I’m not going to judge people on what gets them off or choose to do. But the fact is, porn is becoming increasingly violent towards women. Even if it’s consensual, and if that is what directors and performers want to do....the women participating NEED to be protected. A checklist isn’t going to do jackshit if in…

Holy shit I didn’t realize they had to go through a consent video before getting paid.  That’s revolting. 

Yea, that math doesn’t seem right. It seems like each one of those jobs should pay more than that and all three in one should be making much more than that.

If it gets out that socialism gives you beautiful shiny hair and bangs that actually look cute, the GOP is OVER forever. 

Exactly. I’ve cleaned rooms and waited on rich people in the past and nothing, NOTHING, killed my soul more than that job. Joan H from NYC, you know who you are!!!!!!!!!!!

Calling it “the monster” is an abusive tactic to keep up the pretense that it’s somebody else committing those heinous acts. It’s also a nice way to create further dissonance inside the victim’s mind. Whom are going to hold accountable?

I unironically love this video. It’s silly and nerdy and if anything made me like her more.

Lighthouse keeper, sure, but no way I would run an inn. Waiting on people, putting up with their demands and complaints? Cleaning up after them, being polite and smiley all the time. No thank you!!! What’s the point of living on a remote island if you have to be a maid to a bunch of people?

Thirteen year old me had pretty terrible taste in men. See Johnny Depp, Kirk Cameron, Scott Baio, and that boy in my eighth-grade class who become a hedgefund bro and helped break the global economy.

For young kids, I think bathroom usage should always follow the gender of the parent.

Father of a six year old daughter here. I always take her to the men’s room when in that situation. Largely because I end up hovering outside the stall she’s using, and don’t feel comfortable doing so in the women’s restroom.

Yup. Also thinking someone who lives paycheck to paycheck probably doesn’t have a “personal attorney.” Fuck them all.

Who does he think gave us the gd medals??? >_>

He called his “friend” after his first tweet and asked what they thought of his masterpiece. “Friend” says he doesn’t see anything. Trump is baffled because, clearly, it’s written on the computer screen sitting right in front of him.

Did he bring up the toast?

I work at a government agency, and I’ll never forget the day my boss found out about millennials. We were at a staff meeting, and he spent the whole time to telling us about millennials and how they’re studied and how “Boomers are like this, and millennials are like that and there’s this generation in between called…

This is gross, but an actual term that shitheads use for gay men is “soy boy,” based on the (1) perceived penchant for vegetarianism, and (2) the presence of estrogen in soy.
