This really happened didn't it. Good god.

That would be never.
I share that struggle. Fairness would be men and women sharing the same spaces with equal autonomy and treatment. Since that's not reality, your anger is justified. For Lilith's sake! Women can't even use a public restroom without having to look for cameras! (or is that just me?)
A close relative of mine said "They just lack impulse control" :( awe poor babies.
Argh, yes! I had a neighborhood friend who would play with dolls with me. Once his pop caught him and holy crap was he livid. I was confused buy the hostility. It's sad and sets up a terrible standard of restricted self expression for no reason. You cook sir! Bake that chicken/pie/quiche!
WHAA?! That makes me really sad. Fat-shaming indeed. I think it's time for a Nude Body Diversity Art movement! That reminds me, I was sharing my charcoal drawings with my lifelong friends (who have seen me naked) and we stumbled upon a nude self portrait of me (a simple relaxed sitting pose), and they got quiet and…
Oh god, living with family. I lived in my room a good chunk my adolescence because it was the only place I could "let it all out" without scrutiny. Even then, my folks did that whole knock on the door as they open it thing. Guess who would get reprimanded for their rudeness and subsequent temporary blindness, me. I'm…
I read it as poking fun at the rigidity of American culture seeing as the naked body is almost automatically designated as sexual/obscene here. But what do I know, I thought that painting was beautiful.
Sooo agreed. I take it a little further though and consider myself a closet nudist. Clothing just bunches and chafes, fabric rolls down, fabric rolls up :/ Kinda wish I had a whole wardrobe of kaftans and zentai suits . . . but you know, social norms and what not.
You just described my first relationship. Dude demanded I go to therapy, convinced his family I was bipolar (fun fact: I'm not), and routinely shamed, intimidated and bullied me into obedience and when I would express that I was upset or uncomfortable with a "suggestion" he would tell me that I was crazy and…
I am thrilled with this. I lived for my TMNT and Mighty Max toys growing up and acquiring them was always a bit of a chore because "Those are boys toys, don't you want this pretty Barbie?". NO, she looked nothing like me and I just ended up having to shave her head anyway 'cause I was a terrible hair dresser :( Down…
There are a lot of errors in the list. By the end I just felt bad for the individual who wrote this out. I figure he is either 12 yrs old or just a drunk idiot, maybe both.
It's times like these I lament living on the west coast :(
Yup, you pretty much summed it up.
This station is 92.5 I think, it's a Seattle station. I know when I was living in Sacramento there were stations that were equally as terrible. It sets up a terrible standard, especially for the young or impressionable. The attitudes become normalized and selfishness at the cost of others encouraged :(
Ya, I am grateful for him. I think he has a strong understanding because he was sexually assaulted himself. I find it unfortunate that for a lot of people it takes experiencing a violation in order to realize how common it is. Both he and I try to inform those we know about these issues whenever we find the…
Sweet jesus, yes, after watching Louis CK perform this joke, I looked at my fiance and said "see, this is funny 'cause it's true and all I can do as a woman is laugh so I don't slip into an unfathomable depression". His response was "I know, and I hate that it's a reality. Hopefully others understand that it's not…
Seriously, thank you. Some people just don't understand how power differentials and coercion can be a factor in abuse.
Sweet jesus, I hope so. I hope most of the callers are fake. They do a Second Date Update segment (people go on dates and are never contacted again so they call in and have the station make contact) and the people that the station have to contact are also horrible.
This is not surprising and extremely upsetting. I listen to a radio show in the morning because apparently I hate myself and the hosts were talking to a woman (very young I think) who wanted a baby but her boyfriend didn't. So she lied to him and said she was pregnant to see what he would do, hoping that it would lead…
