I’m surprised Dolores Umbridge’s house is visible to muggles.

“So I guess the dude just put it in her and then...didn’t move?”

I was going to SNS about this, well, kinda about this.

You should look into any classes that might be offered in your area about the challenges that DA survivors face.

You should take a class about domestic abuse. Look into what's offered in your area.

Either Sanford or Altamonte PD puts survivors in touch with an advocate on every DV call (Orlando PD does too. They’re actually the pilots of the program, but in a different county). It’s had a big impact on reporting around here.

Oh I hope she takes the classes Harbor House offers. The facilitators do not f* around.

1) Vox said that it wasn’t cool when women display abusive behavior. On this we agreed and already shared a few comments with each other.

I was regularly the only woman in a class of 24 people there were a couple of guys I wouldn’t talk to but am lucky to never have felt unsafe. I was also once one of three women at an event for 100 men and no one said anything but thank you to me. Not all men are entitled assholes or a danger to women. I say this not

Except for when Congress is passing laws against the will of the people, or refusing to pass laws that the majority wants.

My local DV has a kennel. It is wonderful to see the aspect of abuse being acknowledged. It would be great if we didn’t need these shelters at all, but at least they're there.

I’m half with you. He can’t joke about it because it happens all the time, yes. But where we differ is that she shouldn’t joke about it either because intimate partner abuse happens all the time. An incident not fitting gender stereotype doesn’t suddenly make abuse comical. Women might not be murdering their male

Scroll down two stories on the main page and the story is a woman and her three children murdered by her husband, their father.

My local shelter puts out a list of needed items. There are staples on there, like you mentioned, but sometimes some random things on there too.

Yeah, this is not something to celebrate. If you need threats of mutilation and murder to avoid cheating in a relationship what you actually need is to break up. The threat coming from a beautiful woman doesn't make it okay.

She has a lot of dissidents.

If you are being abused you can call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), TDD 1-800-787-3224, for help in coming up with a safe plan and general support. Leaving is difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone.

But the current defense of the second amendment is based on a deeply flawed interpretation of its language.

I’m so very sorry. They really are sick to be able to deny the lives that these laws affect. It’s why we’re going to keep fighting.

Female is not a bad word when used correctly. They are female ball players.
