Close. Men generally don’t know how to write *male* characters who *have* been raped. That’s why male characters with trauma in their past always have been partially eaten by a bear or gone off to war. When sexual violation is part of their origin it’s the sexual violation of their wives or daughters. Masculine…

It reminds me of a comfortable chair, may not be the newest or freshest piece of furniture in the room but it looks fine, feels good and you don’t have to spend time breaking it in and finding all the comfy spots—you already know. I am happy to have them back in my life; I enjoy watching a sitcom confident enough to…

If Dave hadn’t moved to the OC, Lane’s life would have been way better. Dave > Zach ;)

Yes, I hated that plotline so much! And if I remember correctly he chickened out because he was scared of the possible pain/unpleasantness of the procedure, which, compared to 40 weeks of being pregnant and hours of labor/delivery (not to mention postpartum recovery), is just such a selfish, asshole move.

Right? I just... I can’t... in my head there is only a screaming static.

Seriously, how coddled and unduly confident do you have to be to think that this will just go over as a cute story? This is someone that has never faced consequences in his life.

So not only did he throw out her birth control, but then he made sure he was filmed “interviewing” her about it because he knew she would freak the fuck out. Well, that’s....disgusting.

Does Somerhalder assume people will find this story charming because he’s not ugly? Because it contains at least 3 of the warning signs of abuse in the booklet my doctor gave me at my first prenatal visit.

I will never be able to see this smug asshole without thinking about how he pulled this shit. Had Reed been smart she would have dumped him then and never looked back. A man who would do this kind of thing has zero respect for you.

I really can’t express just how appalled I am.

“(hint hint, tell me how to live my life, please)“

And everyone knows he meant, “for your age.”

I didn’t read “white supremacy” the way you did. I read it more like “the patriarchy” is shorthand for MALE supremacy. In this instance white supremacy is white privilege, and was not calling her a white supremacist, but as a woman who benefits from a white dominated society. This allows her the OPTION to be Black if…

You are confusing white supremacy as a cultural phenomenon (and its attendant white privilege) with white supremacists as a particular identity. Oluo was not calling Dolezal a white supremacist. She was saying that Dolezal was able to put on a “black” identity without having to actually experience what it was to be a…
