Hands down. This movie is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I was 9 when this movie came out, and recall watching this movie at my grandmas house with my cousins. We loved it, and watched it all of the time.

I think we need Vanderpump Vegas, where they try to totally restart the Rules concept and then transition this show into more of a housewives type thing. The whole reason Vanderpump Rules worked is because the cast was a real thing before the show, trying to add in these new castmembers isn’t working.

“it seems to me that all of the onus is on girls to be defensive, while no one has ever advised me to be conscious of my own actions.”

That screenshot is EVERYTHING.

When people wonder why no one reports on men like Nassar, it’s because men like Strampel get to watch the videos of assaults. Abuse in institutions is institutionalized.

Yeah, both people should be into whatever is going on, period. If one of them isn’t into it, then that’s the end of it!

Then started again. Repeatedly.

I dunno, I think we can expect better from people than “not actual rape.”

It’s amazing how, when the conversation is about a progressive dude, suddenly “no means no” becomes

He stopped for literally a minute and then immediately tried to initiate again. Dude, if you clearly express your discomfort to someone and they repeatedly ignore your discomfort and clear signals to try and get their way, they have already violated you in a very profound way. They have shown you that to them, what…

You don’t think it’s coercion if someone just doesn’t hear a no? He was trying to wear her down, basically; the fact he didn’t quite succeed doesn’t make what he did okay.

I don’t want anyone to shove their fingers down my throat unless they’re trying to get me to vomit. It’s not sexy, it’s weird and porny and she indicated she wasn’t into it.

Probably because she said “no,” “let’s chill,” “next time,” and “I don’t want to feel forced” along with probably dozens of non-verbal cues that she wasn’t into it. And he’s a grown ass adult with no cognitive or social impairments that we’re aware of, so I think he can be expected to know and adhere to the basics of…

I think that reinforces the point though — the conversation here should be a lot more nuanced and handled more deftly. I’m in my 30s now and I know how to say no, but pretty much throughout my 20s as I explored my sexuality I consistently ran into situations that I didn’t know how to handle. There’s a lot of pressure…

I would watch a live feed of this editor working in real time. Seriously.

I give you permission to buy big garish headphones, download the soundtrack of your youth, and to go lay somewhere dark just listening. Think all those old thoughts and weave them into your new self, leave no stone unturned, and do not check Twitter even once.

I miss that me, too - the me that was 20 years younger. :(

I used to sneak out the window of my bedroom and lie on the roof, just look at the stars, and play “Never is a Promise” over and over again on my discman. I miss that me.

God, I spent so many hours as a teenager, lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling with Fiona Apple blasting. Love her.
