Her first one was filled with grammar mistakes which I found funny since her band’s name is good English.

My brother stopped a rape in progress in Chicago in the 90s. He heard the victim crying and he stopped the bastard who’d attacked her. Punched the guy out and waited until the cops showed up. Later he testified at the trial. He barely talked about it but it really, really affected him. He wanted to kill that guy. It…
One of my husband’s best friends in high school (and elementary school) was convicted of a drunk driving offense in which no one was injured but significant damage and expense to property occurred.
“...misuse of alcohol that was a well-established contributor in this case.”
1000 words later... “I was taught that if I ever drink alcohol and get raped, it will be my fault and no one else’s, and I have never once thought to question the validity of that logic, so when my friend chose to rape an unconscious woman who had been drinking, I parroted back the same inane bullshit I had been force…
I’ve intervened twice in my life and both times I was absolutely terrified and took self protective measures as well (made a lot of noise and had already dialed 911 an held the phone out so the assholes could see it) Both were instances of men assaulting another woman. I am not a big person or in any way intimidating…
I wonder if she broke her shins from backpedaling so hard.
For what it’s worth, Arndt and Jonsson are Swedish. While the US is the worlds most individualistic country, Sweden doesn’t lag far behind, often ranking in the top five most individualistic countries. Being Swedish myself, I would say that we are perhaps more inclined to step in when a crime occurs not because of…
I have a friend who stopped a sexual assault, and he says it’s a difficult thing to for him to deal with (though far less difficult than for the actual victim, of course). While he knows he did the right thing and did the best he could, he just wishes so badly that he could have entered the room just a few minutes…
In the dark. As they rode by. They see the activity behind the dumpster. Something seems wrong about it to them. They turn back to investigate. They intervene. They call for help. They hold the perpetrator until the authorities arrive. They provide eyewitness testimony. They don’t seek the limelight, in fact they shun…
She really should just stop.
I feel so strongly for these men. In her letter she writes that one of them was so overcome with tears that he could hardly speak after he found her. It’s clear that they experienced a lot of heartache during this process themselves.
Really? This is a surprise to you that people post random crap about random people on random articles? Who the fuck are you to judge my being judgemental?
has anyone actually had oral sex with a condom on? I can’t imagine that being...appetizing...I mean...safety is #1 but like...
*prints out article, highlights dangers of oral sex, tucks in bedside table*
I’m also a chubsy-ubsy swimmer (not competitive, though), and it took me all of 30 seconds to get over the “oh no, I’m fat and everyone will seeeeee” thoughts, because most of the serious swimmers in my local pool are older and have very nice regular-people bodies, with fat, flab, and other protrusions.
Oh god, I remember muffin-boobs. Good times!
I’ll be wearing “wettable and covers it all the fuck up.” Because I’m an old.
Dammit, that he didn’t marry his opponent. That would’ve been more messed up.
