It’s not. It’s fucking AWFUL having large breasts and you DO get treated like an asshole by asshole ALL.THE.TIME.

and he probably makes tons of money! and his ex girlfriend is a model.

Seriously, this is hitting me harder than all the poor women who were killed at the hands of rejected men...her fucking BABY?!?!

FUCK EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO THOUGHT THAT. JUST FUCK THEM

I want to slap everyone who is questioning why the child was out that late with her mother. If the mother went to someone’s house to do hair, what is the problem with her bringing her child with her? If she is a single mother, what else is she supposed to do? Fucking people.

so do i need to change the quote now?

“Why can’t women be honest and just tell a guy no?”

Some neighbors in the area, Local Memphis writes, are wondering why the young girl was out so late at night with her mother

why didnt she just give him a chance u guys

Ah yes, us feminist, women Bernie supporters just don’t exist! Bernie is more pro-choice than Hillary even is. I’m tired of this false argument.

Right? This is the thing: I just don’t need to see it any more. It’s become a sort of bullshit shorthand for “serious” treatment of female characters. You want to show me what a great auteur you are? Show me the relationships between your (named female) characters. Show me a sisterhood, or a mother-daughter…

I spoke about this to my friends last year. There are way too many of us out here who have been sexually assaulted. We don’t need to constantly see it in movies and shows. We get it. We fucking get it.

It’s an extremely tired trope. I’m also so sick of seeing it everywhere. Also included in tired female tropes ‘not being able to have babies'
