Sadly, yes.

The whole “spectrum of abuse” language and ethos is bullshit. It’s all bad. Just because there are legal distinctions doesn’t mean the affects on victims are neatly packaged into categories of severity. The whole thing just props up the toxic culture that is easier on perpetrators.

As I said, it’s easy to tell the difference between a “hang in there” type comment and a sexualized one. In any event, she deemed the encounter as uncomfortable, which is what’s actually relevant.

It’s very easy to tell when someone is sexualizing your pregnant body. It’s creepy and violating. Nobody is going to say “ripe” as an empathetic comment.

Every woman has a story like this; I’m starting to think every man does, too. Makes me think of that awful study where a third of participants admitted they would take actions legally deemed sexual violence but didn’t see it/understand it as rape.

I’d call it genius, but yes, he did.

Prince did it better.

“You hit me with a log!”

I concede it sounds better than, “We can do it til the oxytocin wears off!”

Only acceptable use of Color Me Badd. Ever.

Toxic and fragile masculinity really need to be stamped out by the time the next generation are learning how to take responsibility for their actions. So now.

For sure, but if that’s all you (universal you) do, you learned it from bad porn.

Can’t go wrong with that one.

I can’t argue, my clitoris is still recovering.

Porn ruined cunnilingus in the 90’s. That back and forth as fast as you can possibly go move is NOT the way to give an orgasm. Ugh.

I skimmed over that last one. Yikes.

How do they function on no sleep?!?!

I have an irrational hatred of Gecko. I feel like he slows the whole team down. And now I want to cry because apparently I’ve been dissecting the team dynamic of a show I can’t stand.

I have watched this without my kids. No shame. Fluttershy is my spirit animal.

Fucking PJ Masks. My youngest is obsessed. It’s now evolved into acting out the show. He always makes me Luna Girl. “You’re bad, Mommy!”
