Teens are in a stage of development where they have to push back, they’re learning how to assert themselves, think critically, and make their own space. I loved working with teens because they were always checking me and calling me on my bullshit. I mean, some days I didn’t love it because I was tired or sick and they…

And it’s his learning journal, if there is any place that he can respectfully reflect on lessons and push back than that is the place. Her comment is dismissive, if I were a student I would probably have stopped writing in her bullshit journal after that.

Getting attention is literally the point of a protest.

And none of us can sit on our hands between elections. There is always work to be done.

Yes, it’s great! We moved to Japan about two years ago and my husband has kept his fi service the entire time without trouble. It’s been great.

Jeeeesus, it is stated in the article that there will be no examination of why there is a wage gap or an argument that a wage gap is due to social prejudice against women. It is literally just pointing out areas where women tend to not invest in the same ways as men and may be missing out on financial opportunities…

They were in when I was in elementary school in the early 90s but then they were banned. I don’t know why.

If you don’t know anything about the psychology of abuse go do some fucking research instead of asking someone who lived through it to unpack their trauma for you.

Abusers don’t introduce themselves as being abusive, dick head.

You don’t do this by forcing her hand on your dick after she’s pulled away and told you outright she doesn’t want sex.

Do you think women aren’t smart enough to tell the difference between assault that can be legally punished and assault that makes us cry in a car on the way home but we can’t go to the cops about? Not that the cops care in either situation. This movement is about listening to women and not assaulting them in any…

The period of time when they leave is when they’re most likely to be murdered by their abusers. That woman maybe shouldn’t be running a shelter if she doesn’t understand the psychology behind the cycle of abuse.

In my case the abuse was over more quickly if I just gave in. He didn’t care/ didn’t notice that I was crying during and after.

We need to talk about consent with every young person. I realize now that no one talked about consent when I was growing up and it was years before I learned I was allowed to say no. My first sexual relationship was abusive and I don’t think I’ve ever developed a healthy relationship with sex, but I did slowly learn…

We’re not in a court room.

Honestly, there is so much creepy behavior that men do that many women have internalized as normal. As these stories have come out I’ve reflected back on the kind of treatment and behavior I’ve put up with and even forgotten about until now. Some of it I tried to talk to managers or coworkers about and they all just…

The day after he posted his apology he posted a video harassing people and businesses in Japan by waving dead fish in their faces. The bad publicity increased his followers! And YouTube is still allowing him to monetize his videos, so what repercussions has he faced beyond YouTube trying to save face by taking away…

I don’t know why people think this but apologizing doesn’t mean you escape repercussions for your actions. This seems to mostly be a thing men find difficult to understand.

This has always been my philosophy with friends. Who is going to knickle and dime their friends like that? And if someone always owes the other a beer then we just have a reason to see each other again soon.

I’m sorry, we live in a country that can’t guarantee health coverage for children, but we’re going to demonize their parents for feeding them?
