A sobering reminder that men are 82,000x more likely to be raped than falsely accused of rape.

This is why citations are always needed.
I didn’t even hit “play,” I just saw this and started laughing so hard I started crying. Not even, like, “laughing while tears stream down my face.” I mean I laughed so hard that it has transformed into full on ugly crying because my brain can’t handle how funny that scene was.
I’m not doubting you, but do you have a citation for that stat? Because I would like to share it when I inevitably use it. Thanks.
ARE YOU KIDDING?! THOSE VACCINES ARE FULL OF TOXINS! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!
Well now I hope you like it!
On a related note: Chasing Lolita: How How Pop Culture Corrupted Nabakov’s Little Girl All Over Again is an interesting look about how literary critics and then Kubrik and film completely missed the point about Lolita being a book about a terribly abused child.
Ha!!! No worries whatsoever!
She is pointing to the article, which is above “her” on the screen.
The events outlined in the article: there are guys out there who will hurt or kill a woman who rejects them outright.
I mean, I wouldn’t recommend bringing this up with every single dude you come across, necessarily. But the guys you know, love, and trust? Bring it up with them. Because (per my initial point regarding my husband) we don’t talk about these experiences with the men closest to us just because it’s so second nature to us…
Crazy people gonna crazy... but the problem is there is a particular brand of crazy out there, way more common than people are willing to recognize, that is male entitlement to women’s bodies and attentions. And we don’t know who the crazy people are.

I honestly don’t know how we make this aspect of it better. I am open to suggestions, but it’s a very, very frustrating roadblock to progress.
Oh same. When I was literally chased for a block by an angry dude because I wouldn’t give him my number as we passed one another in a crosswalk or when a dude started masturbating while staring at me... yes, he heard about that. But sharing every “catcall” or inappropriate weirdness would be exhausting and boring.…
Ditto, and it’s not their fault, really. You don’t know what you don’t know. Women need to share their stories and then the dudes who hear them need to talk w/ their guy friends about it.
Gross. Gross gross gross.
Oh thanks. My rage-o-meter was slightly below “wildly unproductive” but this gave me the nudge I needed...
