God, he is a tacky, ineffective little shit.

No, I have not seen this! I have amazon and am now rethinking my evening plans. Ha!

Although I agree with the tone of comments so far (wtf, 15 yr old girl tho, etc. etc.)...I actually think he DOES have a personality to compensate, maybe? I watched the documentary “Weiner” with no expectations/knowledge about Weiner/Abedin, and he actually came off as endearingly charismatic and they just seemed to…

Totally going out on a limb here, but for some people the failure of a marriage or relationship (especially once kids are involved) can be felt like a personal failure. Clearly, Huma is a bright, successful, achiever. It’s possible that she has a personality type that sees failure as the ultimate let-down and going…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cool, interesting selections but I sadly lack the dancing talent for either, especially the first one...

These are both great, but you can’t go wrong with Bongo Rock.

not reporting is akin to enabling and women need to own that.

That is just absolutely false. Know what stops rapists from raping again? Rapists not raping. I will never remove the agency rapists have from this conversation. The idea that we have power in this system is laughable. 6 out of every 1000 people who commit rape are incarcerated. We are oppressed by white supremacist…

I think I’ll have “I touch myself” by the Divinyls at mine. Now that’s a healthy relationship.

How about the couple at my church that used Billy Idol’s White Wedding?

Don’t Stand so Close to Me?

Why the fuck would anyone have a song that was called “Tears in Heaven” at their wedding? I remember when that happened and it was like the saddest thing in the fucking world. Like, you would have had to have lived in a cave not to know that or to not have seen/ heard Eric Clapton’s “Unplugged.”

yeah like witnessing my mother waltz around the house singing “ring my bell” until I enlightened her on the context.

I’ve been to two weddings where the groom’s surname was Jones and both of them had their first dance to well-known adulterers’s anthem, Me and Mrs Jones. People. Do. Not. Listen.

And the people who dedicate Pearl Jam’s cover of Last Kiss to their sweetie on the radio. The girl dies. That’s the point.

I know you mean well, but as a survivor I can say that “trying your damndest to get them to reconsider” is not helpful. Women are already held responsible for their own rape, and you want to make them responsible for everyone else’s as well. And I’m not even going to get into the further trauma of reporting

Possible reasons for not reporting: fear, intimidation, stigma against victims, shame, the statistics surrounding the conviction of alleged rapists, online and verbal abuse, the statistics surrounding law enforcement’s prior handling of rape cases, the statistics surrounding how many rape kits actually get processed,…

I know it’s with good intentions, but one of the things that you talk about when training to handle people disclosing assaults to you is that the best thing is to not talk the person’s power away. Meaning, letting them make their own choices, despite how you want them to handle it. Encouraging someone to talk to an…

you must have never experienced the reporting system.
