I mean, she probably didn’t know it was called gender reassignment surgery or what it entailed, but she figured out if you had a lot of money, you could go to the doctor have them change you from a girl into a boy, and that’s what she wanted, so she started it saving. That’s perfectly within the grasp of a five…

Except black make-up artists ARE expected to deal with white people’s skin or black make-up artists don’t work. And Paul is educating people - in her post, she includes a comprehensive list of brands that cater to her skin colour and recommends that make-up artists start using them.

I think some people get away with shit like by going so totally beyond the bounds of decent and acceptable behaviour that their victim can’t process what is happening.

Totally agree with this. I mean, I’m from Ireland and I went to a fairly standard Catholic all girls school, so it was uniforms all the way and I HATED IT but when you’re getting into silly shit like “straps must be three fingers wide” and “skirts must be one inch below the knee”, it’s like yeah, just have a uniform.…

Agreed. I love the Sand Snakes plot in the book because it’s an actual plot. They don’t want to kill Myrcella in a pointless tit-for-tat act of revenge, they want to declare her Queen of Westeros (under Dornish law, women can rule, so Myrcella technically has a better claim than Tommen while she’s in Dorne). It’s a…

Completely agree.

Please quote the part of the article that says Kit Harrington is short.

Where’s the bit of the article that makes fun of Kit Harington for being short? Please quote it for me. Because as far as I can see, the entire thing is like “we’re trying to figure out how tall he is! Nowhere does the article imply that being a short man is a negative thing. In fact, the word “short” does not…

I actually really like the moment. The Wildling tribes are used to fighting and bloodshed, but through this one woman’s eyes, we see them realise the sheer horror of what they are facing.

It takes roughly half a gallon of water to produce one paper plate. (half that if it’s made from recycled paper). Chemicals used in paper manufacturing tend to contaminate waterways, so it’s unlikely that water will be reused.

I am also in Camp Break-Up Classic. I actually got dumped this day last week and the fallout has been roughly as predictable as a Craig David song. Got dumped Saturday, cried/ate all the food on Sunday. Took up yoga again on Monday. Worked Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday, chilled on Friday.

I didn’t alert my parents, because I thought I would get trouble, for some reason.

When I was fourteen, a middle-aged man sidled up behind me in a deserted bookshop and very deliberately put his hand on my ass before moving off again. It was probably only for a few seconds, too long for an accidental brush but just short enough to qualify for plausible deniability. It felt like a lifetime to…

So the "joke" was basically: "Lol I find this specific woman annoying and also she's fat and disabled LOLZ."

If a drunk girl is aggressively humping a sober dude's leg and he's sitting there motionless, he is not sexually assaulting her. In fact, she's probably sexually assaulting him. Rape and sexual assault involve one body acting on another. The fact that she's doing the acting is more relevant than the fact that she's…

A woman calls a man, agrees to have sex with him, but is so drunk she passes out multiple times but continues trying to aggressively initiate sex with the man lying motionless in her bed.

Two creatives collaborate on a project, they fall out and go their separate ways, later there are blurred lines and bad blood over ownership of ideas as they move on with their respective careers. Not a fun thing to go through, but happens all the time across almost every creative industry that demands a…

Further proof that Stacey was always the best one.

Oh shit, I forgot about all the stuff with controlling her diet and trying to isolate her from her friends. Classic abusive behaviour.

Next to none of the sex in Fifty Shades is consensual. Most of the time, Ana's consent is dubious at best, non-existent at worst. Christian stalks her, bullies her, manipulates her, issues ultimatums and stomps all over her clearly stated boundaries multiple times. Christian makes Ana wet and confused in her panties,…
