It sounds like you know! Get out! Get freeeeee!

I can tell you, not all men are like that. I have had a couple really great relationships along the way to show me that. And I am currently in an exceptional partnership (and we live together now) where I feel equal and comfortable and no training required for either of us :)

The book is hilarious. You are going to buy a lot of copies to give to all your friends...speaking from experience.

Don't listen to her. They are two different sizes. There are no such thing "sister" sizes. You are not a 36B. There is a REASON a 34C fits better on you.

Read this book for starters.

Don't know for sure but there are definitely signs of abuse. Very familiar signs.

Everything you said are things I said and things I thought and things I went through. It took me 8 years after the fact to get here, and I still have a ways to go. Sometimes the trauma rears its ugly head in the form of mistrust or taking something too personally with my very awesome/progressive/happy current…

EXACTLY!

Clearly you know nothing about abusive relationships or how the world works or whatever.

I have purchased 4 pairs from them. Two pairs I bought a couple years ago when I first heard about them, then my boyfriends dog ate one pair and I lost the other pair. I loved them. A few months ago I purchased two more pairs after having them send me 5 frame styles to try on. I seriously love them. I think they are…

Sometimes it doesn't feel justified to leave, like verbal abuse is not a "good enough reason" because its "not like he's hitting you". Thats what my thinking was. It took me 2 years with a manipulative control freak to figure it out. I just wanted to die. It wasn't until I had even left and educated myself about…

Stop promoting medications prescribed for people with ADD for an easy way to lose weight! Stop!

Thank you! Getting sick of all the "just take medications that are getting harder and harder for people actually WITH ADD to take and get skinny!" Uugh Fuck That.

If you have never been a victim of rape, or the subject of rape jokes, or your group consistantly the victim of rape in many, many movies and shows to such a casual extent, you might think the connection to rape in the phrase is a stretch. It is not. I am actually surprised more people here do not see that, but I…

Here is a real world example of the phrase literally using it in the context of rape: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/…

I agree, context is everything.

While I didn't find the original banter funny, you turning it into an ACTUAL joke made me laugh. See, THAT was funny, what you just did there.

I had the same reaction evolution as you. My social presence under a microscope would have similar and definitely more nonsensical, inane status updates, artsy photos, even artsier photos of my fartsier crafts, weird short videos of my dog getting blown up (fake! Special effects!) and jokes I think are funny with my…
