Beyoncé is a hit or a miss from me, but at least I have feelings about it. ;)

I don’t think I’ll ever understand the appeal of Ed Sheeran. I mean his music is singularly inoffensive, and that does nothing for me. I know he’s popular as the romance books I read tell me constantly, but *shrug*.

There is also a big difference between being in one unadvisable relationship with an age difference (if legal) and being in a big series of them, showing a distinct pattern for just plain out preferring much younger people than you. I mean, not to mention all of the non-consensual stuff Spacey took part in, it was a

Navajo code talkers in front of Andrew Jackson, everything that is wrong with America.

Wait, did the article get edited? Cause I noticed this too, but it seems to be gone. She already had a bad day? Really? It might be a fluke, but seriously, no. Just don’t.

This game gets a lot of flack, and some deservedly so, but when it comes to small moments it really can shine. It’s a disjointed mess, but some of that mess is brilliant.

True, but others have handled it in better ways. Seth Meyers for instance.

It’s so true, and even with all the stops I pull, I have been sexually harassed countless times, sexually assaulted a few and have other experiences in nonconsent.

Dude, the Ghastly Grinner was scary enough!

I don’t know, teacher x student romance is a pretty popular trope in romance fiction here too, especially in books. Forbidden anything is pretty popular. I think it’s just because you can explore something in fiction that isn’t ok in real life. We do it all the time in video games (many involve murder, no?), I think

I admit to generalizing my guy friends in that statement (for instance my husband has always gotten it), and many do ‘understand’, but I don’t know how many times I’ve brought up the way I conducted myself, especially in my 20s, where they were like, “Really? That seems like a lot.” Or they make jokes about women

Can I say... for years and years I have been friends with men. When I say, I keep an extra eye out all the time for threats, they think I’m being paranoid. I’ve kept keys between my fingers, I’ve hidden underneath oversized sweatshirts to present as masculine, I’ve gone in groups with other women to the bathroom...
