Maybe the point is that we as a society should aspire to conduct ourselves better than the most cruel, violent small segment of our population.

We are not a civilized nation. We should not do this.

You know what’s fucked up is that I have been in situations where guys forced me to do things sexually and I don’t even count those as true sexual assaults.

My daughter is nearly 10 and I already tell her that we all use bad judgment sometimes and I will always come to her aid and I will always be her advocate and I am the president of #TeamDaughter.

I say this now so that if she does end up in a bad situation, she will (I hope) remember that I’m on her side always.

Don’t even fucking think about it, Elton.

the blame is always obvious except when it’s you.

I wonder how many young women suppress their rape experiences because they were hanging out with a crowd their parents didn’t approve of, maybe cutting class, maybe telling their parents they were somewhere they weren’t, basically being teenagers. They kept it too themselves because they didn’t want to admit they had…

Yeah idk how cool it is to repeatedly, repeatedly cheat on your wife with ppl like the baby sitter, have secret children, and then be all, “woe is me” in the press.

I was sexually assaulted back in high school and didn’t tell anyone. I was afraid of being scolded by my family for hanging around such people and I didn’t want my friends to think I was weak. A few years later I opened up to a boyfriend about it, and his response was a contemptuous “well that explains a lot.” That…

I wasn’t rape but I was attacked (with the end purpose of rape) twice in college and both times I kept quiet because the guys were respected. I spent days going over in my head what I did wrong to make them behave like that. I was sober, I was in sweats, I was in a study group for one of them.

yeah, my family reacted really poorly and I regret ever telling them. Better to not have support because you choose it yourself than to not have support because the people who supposedly are supposed to love and care for you just don’t.

am i the only person who’s heartbroken about jesse williams getting divorced from wife? yes? okay. :’(

She did! ۜ\(סּںסּَ` )/ۜ

(That’s the joke.)

I’ve thought a lot about this. The Holocaust and the USA’s Southern motivation for secession obviously aren’t the same thing, but I’m pretty sure the accommodations made to the South in preserving Confederate flags and being generally conciliatory after the Civil War is one of the reasons were still in this racial…

wow can’t believe you just came for Bill Gates like that

I’m happy for her, seemed like Johnny was treating her like she’d have nowhere to go after him, then she rebounds with a billionaire. GOOD FOR HER

His track record is cold and messy.

Normally I’d have something pithy to say about Amber/Elon, but after everything she endured with Johnny Depp, I just hope this relationship is good for her.
