“It was sounds and smells and feelings and seeing him on campus.” - I had very different scenario (I couldn’t save someone, there was a fire) but that sounds very familiar. I don’t know if having “trigger warnings” would have helped me though. I feel like most* of the really bad feelings kind of came and went with no…

I was speaking about a system at my university. My medications and doctor’s appointments were all covered.

Okay. You did have to talk about what happened to your therapist, no?

(How can you afford university if you cannot afford medical care?)

What method of therapy did you do than?

^ this. The professors had to read us the syllabus in the first lecture of each class every semester.

Yes. It seems so strange that to me that some individuals are trying to avoid all of their triggers. I had EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) as a method of treatment for PTSD. I had to talk about what had happened, and not being able to talk about it was a huge component of me being unwell.

I know at the university I attended you had to be registered with the mental health services on campus and provide documentation of mental illness from a family physician/psychiatrist/psychologist.

I had the opportunity to have my mental health advisor speak to my professor’s on my behalf. I chose to speak to my professor’s myself.

I think it’s important, as a former student who had PTSD (roommate’s suicide attempt/fire, and I have very boring paperwork for it) to take responsibility for yourself. I talked to my professor’s at the beginning of the semester to ask them questions about course material.

If I had $275 to spend on frivolous bullshit it wouldn’t be on something to wipe shit with.

Same. I do support them writing him as asexual though - it does seem consistent with his character.

I don’t like using the word “slut” to describe the clothing of teenage girls (or anyone). I do think that there has been an increasing sexualization of teenage girls that isn’t just them claiming their independent identities.

He also doesn’t like gays or lesbians.

I am so grateful that I have parents who did not do this to me, or ask this of me.

I liked the video but I did not like the song.

It is very irritating. These photographs don’t even have traditional infantilization characteristics such as pleated skirts, ribbons, or suckers. She is wearing cotton underwear and is posing suggestively.

“Sooooo, they cover up now but use women who look like they’re 13? How is this ANY kind of improvement?”

Men and women who buy Playboy are paying for their porn. Cannot say the same for Pornhub users.

Can we not tell adult women they look like children? She has big eyes and a small nose, but she does not look like a child.
