Those are not facts that you repeated, those are socialized expectations.

I did not say biology, and gender is also not biological.

I never said “men are so much more,” nor did I offer an explanation or logic. I made a statement. That said, violence does inherently have a gender. And it’s male. Women can be violent but men OWN violence. It’s not a generalization, it’s a fact.

Nope. It’s just a way to justify shit behavior.

This. I keep coming across MRAs online that insist that women are just a violent as men, if not worse, by citing flawed research that does not take into account stalking or violence that happens after the relationship is over. Because you know men take the end of a relationship much better than women and are often…

Ugh, was my prom a mess. I was dating a guy who told me he was 22 but was actually 28 (I’m grossed out just thinking about it). I was 17, 16 when we met. He kept trying to be weirdly controlling but it just didn’t fly because I didn’t get why he was so whiny when he was supposed to be the mature one. A few weeks…

Remember when she was the nice one?

I’m Dominican and I don’t know much past my grandparent’s family tree, and only on my mother’s side. Plus my last name seems to be made up. Ancestry.com is not equipped for me.

Here for all of it!

I love that the recurring theme in this show is, shit happens, REALLY bad shit happens, but eventually you have to pick up and move on.

Blind Gossip keeps trying to maintain this narrative:

I read Mama Day in high school and it changed my fucking life.

Very true. Most people don’t know that Amy Winehouse was essentially handed an opportunity from a friend. It ended tragically, but we also were able to get her music because of it.

Mine never grew back :-(
