How about a man less powerful, a man equally powerful, oh, and sure, a man more powerful.

I wish we could start a Class Action suit against him for the damage done to our country by the dangerous validation of hate groups and his caustic, and TOXIC, affect on the fearful dim-witted. It puts so many at risk.

I wonder sometimes about our (western) relationship to animals and the extreme anthropomorphism that we put into it. The moment is important for us, so we drag and prop them into our moment because it’s so important to us. How about them? I wish we could gauge what they want and feel. We may love them too much for…

It’s almost as if people are comfortable sexally assaulting women because they know they won’t be held responsible.

It was a counter-punch to him saying she probably gets sodomized all the time, and then he didn’t have a good witty comeback and got butt-hurt. He could have stopped the back and forth, but he wanted to play the game and lost.

Meh - this joke came after he joked she was slutty “I heard you got sodomized a lot” which in the PC world is equally “not cool”.

so are you defending a man who played an anal rape scene as a joke in a movie?

Sure, in the same way that a joke showing the power dynamic between blacks and whites at the expense of whites is funny, but at the expense of blacks isn’t. Making fun of the power dynamic IS the joke. Reversing the genders would remove the humor.

That’s true, but that’s why punching upward works and punching down doesn’t.

“Now, Sir, I know you were stabbed but did you ever think to angle your body away from the knife? Perhaps mashing your ribs together so the blade couldn’t jam into your heart?”

But how can I make my friend’s cancer about ME?

Can we not forget that when women cape for rapists or apologists, that not only makes it worse for victims but sends a message that those victims shouldn’t be listened to since this woman is saying those guys are “alright”?

It’s a gorgeous computer-animated narrative about what happens when one leaf-cutter ant decides to follow his heart and abandon his colony. And maybe it applies to my life a little too much.

fuck off

Consent and respect should be what we’re taking away from her tale of abuse, not “OMG, she’s boning multiple guys and was open about it!” *tee hee behind our fingers.*

Threesomes are only normal if you’ve been sexually abused? Fuck you and your unbelievable leaps and stumbles.

Please don’t dismiss her account because she seems “kinky”, or otherwise okay with a certain level of sexual contact. As soon as she said stop, the guy needed to stop. This is true no matter what relationship might exist between the two people.

Sounds like Poly. She had a primary, and he was a secondary at best. Applebaum sounds like the side bitch, in lay person’s terms.

She’s describing a poly relationship. Unclutch your pearls.
