The whole thing is just soooo uncomfortable. He is obviously drunk and she doesn’t look very comfortable. My guess is she didn’t want to pull away with the cameras rolling and “cause a scene.” For some reason it’s worse for a woman to “cause a scene” than for a man to grope her in the first place. (The Harvey…

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! You know what’s really sad? How relatable this video is. I know the “subtly cover your chest with your arms” move all too well. As soon as a dude gets too close, my hands instinctively get in formation. FUCK. THESE. CREEPS.

Yup! Too many women are familiar with that “twist,” myself included.

This is so uncomfortable. He is obviously wasted and fully aware of his “celebrity”. Gross.

I had to stop after a minute or two - so gross - what a creep.

Racists use the excuse of us walking and breathing as a reason for us to be killed. In other words, they are racists regardless of what we do or don’t do.

Having heterosexual men in this sort of story is critical. Childhood rape seriously distorts the sexuality of all victims, straight and gay, male and female. The most obvious effect is hypersexuality. Those “freaks in the sheets” that we all love so much were likely victims of childhood rape or other sexual trauma.

I think the reasons why gay men happen to have been raped as young kids so much is likely because boys who seem “less masculine” may - to a predator - seem like easier targets. They perhaps convince themselves that these boys will like this, or that they will be less offended and less likely to tell. Obviously…

someone I love was sexually assaulted. He told me about two females but I truly feel that there is more he hasn’t told me. My heart goes out to all victims of assault. Including myself. It’s a hard thing. Very hard.

That wedding dress is hideous! It should be burned & buried, and the bride should have her wedding day pictures redone.

Talk about painting a picture with your words. If you don’t write you should.

“While at no time did Iyanla allude to the idea that these men were gay because of trauma they had experienced, the topic was an acknowledgment of how perverse rape culture is and how often gay young men are targets.”

We often associate toxic masculinity with harm to women. But it is necessary to consider how toxic masculinity also hurts men as well. This is an important article.

“The toxic masculinity in these stories is the assumption that each of the young men, regardless of age, should have been tough enough to avoid being raped and should have been strong enough to resolve what happened to him.”

Thank you so much for writing about this. Childhood sexual assault is an epidemic in this country. One in Three girls will be assaulted by the time she’s 18. The number is between One in Five and Six for boys. I honestly believe that the number for boys is higher but the messages we give boys are so harmful that they…

Simply put, by not acknowledging black young men as victims of sexual assault, we are subjecting them to years of being revictimized, of having mental- and emotional-health issues and, most, of being in pain.

Imagine what would happen if Rose and Leah Remini joined forces to combat both sex abuse and Scientology in Hollywood.

Oh jesus Christ. I don’t know why, but this turned my stomach so much.

I read this post and immediately developed an all-too-familiar wine craving. Will my liver outlast this administration? The race is on!

Praise the tiny baby Jesus that we don’t have the Clintons and their family drama in the White House. Can you even imagine? Whew! Bullet dodged.
