The family didn’t move from Northern Europe, they moved from Wisconsin where they had family and a comfortable home because Pa had a pioneer fantasy and Ma was completely submissive to him. I’m not blaming them personally for all of American history, but rereading it as an adult you do see some of the glossing over…

I would love that! I’ve been saying that ever since Netflix got into the original series game. A really gritty realistic picture of her life. Perhaps over 10 episodes.

I adored these books as a kid and they’re still a comfort read for me, but I agree that they’re a totally different read as an adult. For instance, Pa is clearly Laura’s hero but he’s also kind of an asshole to uproot his family constantly and put them in precarious situations (notably the move to Indian Territory).…

That’s not true at all.

Seeing a black woman hate on Bruno Mars while using a Japanese handle that means “I love you” should be a textbook example of the word irony.

Beyonce “borrows” choreography. (Some of these allegations are completely redic.)

Using SJW as a pejorative is fucked up

Media shaping our children’s view on sexuality and violence is something I have begun to worry about as a parent. These guys at school have been verbally sexually harassing my daughter and I had to outright ask her what she thought what they were saying meant and if she understood what sex was. Her views were pretty…

I buy my own condoms. Why am I not “worth” the cost of a condom? Because I don’t cum from 4 slow pumps? Because I’m weary of men for the first time in my life after having some harrowing experiences?

Do all men think that? Probably not. But even in normal entertainment - the kind of sex that is held up as good is pretty fucking rapey.

Apparently kids are imitating it.

The scary part is - by consuming this kind of porn, more and more men are being programmed to think this is what sex is.

I’ve had this experience as well. I genuinely think there is a large group of men who think women want extremely rough sex where they’re dominated, and they think that from watching porn. It doesn’t occur to them to ask if the woman is in to that, or that any woman wouldn’t be.

I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the idea that a lot of men believe this stuff is what women want. I’m not here to kink shame anyone, but the recent obsession with choking in more “mainstream porn” troubles me. Also, I’ve seen plenty of memes joking about making a woman gag during fellatio.

I’ll repeat what I posted above.

I am serious. There have been a number of men who have slapped me, shoved their cocks down my throat and put their hands on my neck when there was no prior discussion about it. If that’s not your lived experience, or you are a man and don’t act like that, great. But don’t you dare tell me what my reality is.

We’ve all been there. The last time I got the four pump treatment it was after he reneged on the condom agreement. (I know. I’m stupid. Hopefully less stupid than when this happened.) I got a yeast infection because we were a bad combo.

Not really. I’m just coming to terms with it being rape and not “just another bad date”...which I’ve had plenty of times. We all have.

And now porn has been taken from us! I can’t watch porn without feeling icky. I used to have a crazy high sex drive and now...I can take it or leave it. I hope this is just a phase. Sex is great with the right person and mindset.

I haven’t had sex in years. So much hype and work for nothing.
