Good for her! What I like about this, is even if they lose, he’ll have to sit through a deposition and actually answer questions. Hopefully Dickinson is in a financial place where she isn’t tempted to settle under confidential terms.

Good for her.

LEIOMY!

As a survivor who has ALSO experienced nonconsent fantasies, I find the tone of this article INCREDIBLY offensive. You make no mention of survivors, and seem to laugh at people being troubled by the title “Asking For it” What is funny about that? I have been told that by a police officer, my abuser, and many community…

I have to be real about this. The romanticization of rape is fucked up to me, especially in these sorts of novels that open with rape and sexual assault and twistedly blossom into relationships and “love”. I don’t understand why people feel like their sexual desires and kinks are or should be somehow divorced from…

That’s because you’re too stupid to understand the difference between fantasies of non-consensual sex (ravished is really a more accurate term), and actual rape. In a fantasy, there’s still control; someone can use a safeword, stop a video, or close a book at any time. But feel free to whine all you like.

I get this. One of my go to fantasies involves basically being raped by a woman/being used against my will to get her off type of thing. I’ve had this fantasy this fantasy since adolescence. Anyway, back in like 2006 I actually was sexually assaulted by a woman while I was incapacitated due to alcohol, and the…

The problem I have with the rape fantasy romance novel idea is that you are supposed to like the “hero” and I cant wrap my head around liking or wanting a relationship with someone who gets off on forcing an unwilling victim.

i am definitely not the market for this and i would never seek out this type of story, but i love that there is a warning on the cover. that is really excellent.

I just watched this last night and it was so sad. Much sadder than expected, cause I thought it was just about segregated prom. But really it’s about the shit parade that is US racism. And what a shit parade it is. Humans are the worst.

I hope the plaintiffs never have to work a day in their lives again. This is shit out of a 3rd rate porno.

Um thanks Pitbull but the court did determine what came about and Chris was convicted.

Recourse for what? In what way is he being victimized? He obviously has means (unsurprising for a Columbia student/family) which he’s using to sue the whole school on the grounds of basically nothing. At this point it’s probably safe to say he’ll never see the inside of a courtroom in defense of any rape accusations,…

Thank you for the support! If it’s any consolation, I couldn’t make it all the way to the end, either. There is just very little of this thing I can take nowadays/anymore.

Yeah, this is always the “tone” argument. If you were just nicer, maybe we’d respect you. I bring this up whenever someone tells me to “calm down” when I’m talking about feminism, and more than not, I’m speaking at the same volume as the men do during their arguments and discussions. But the perception is that I’m…

I will never understand how feminists can *not* be angry. This anger that permeates feminism is absolutely justified, and since women are currently losing ground and gains are being unmade, I would expect the least we can do is understand why. At which point does being a second-class citizen become something we should…

Your mum sounds rad as hell. Please thank her for the work she and other women did to make things easier and fairer for my generation.

How do you NOT automatically offer to pay when you dog bites someone? Even if you were poking or annoying my dog, it would still be my responsibility. Even if I warned you... I’d still pony up for medical costs. Are these people this lacking in morals? Don’t answer that. Now if the dog was protecting someone from…
