AMEN. I am sized out of a lot of brands of clothing now too and I am by no means the smallest woman I know. No, I do not want to shop in juniors, thanks. At the same time, my plus-size friends are in the same boat. Medium sized shapeless stretchy shit for everyone I guess.

Free shipping, free returns is pretty much how I do it.

Nah, you were being an ass.

After I was raped last year I was in such shock about what had happened that I drove my rapist home. I couldn't figure out what else to do or how to process. So yes, I do believe that story. Asshole.

I think it is possible she really liked him and when she forced her to have oral sex, she went into a kind of emotional shock. Maybe she was still processing it, tried to rationalize it and did not want to be a rape victim, esp to someone she had decided to date—a mix of fear, shame and embarrassment. Then when it

If someone says they were raped, you should assume they are telling the truth until it's proven otherwise. Same thing with any other crime. That doesn't mean we have to assume that this guy is guilty. It means we take it fucking seriously and investigate fully without simultaneously making victims feel like they

I'm against victim blaming...

Gosh it's almost like something traumatic happening to a person can cause their thoughts and actions to deviate from expected norms. But naw, let's go ahead and assume she's lying and lecture her about how REAL rape victims are SUPPOSED to act, that seems like a much better course of action.

Rape victims can be in serious denial and not want to acknowledge what just happened. If this person was a friend they might not want to believe they "let this happen" or misunderstood the situation and let things get out of control. Some women want to pretend like nothing happened so they don't have to deal with the

Exactly what Adultosaur just said. It is because of people like you that rape goes unpunished. I was sexually assaulted by a priest. I came back to church after it because I told myself that since I did not say no (because I was a teenager and in fucking shock!!!) he did not know that I did not want it and it was my

It's actually common for rape victims to act very normal after being raped, sometimes as an attempt to mentally distance themselves from what just happened. It's a kind of denial, and shock. It happened to me after I was raped, I got up and went home and showered the blood off me and went to work like on auto-pilot.

She is probably a silly, immature girl who didn't think it would escalate, was star struck and made some stupid decisions. But here is the thing, friend. We all make stupid decisions sometimes, it doesn't mean we deserve to be raped. Nor does it make it any of less of a crime or awful or her fault that he raped her.

Listen dickwad, today is the 2nd anniversary of the day I was raped. In the Buzzfeed article, it says that he forced her to stay with him and took her back to the hotel against her will. This shit happens. Now, I know you're a troll and you enjoy pissing off people for funsies because you're a sick fuck but can you

This goes along with dispelling the idea that rape is a stranger jumping out of a dark street or parking lot to attack a random woman. The guilt and confusion that accompanies rape by an acquaintance makes it even less likely that the victim would run away and immediately call police, the way movies or ideas in our

no, you have some common fucking sense, you ignorant asshole. do you know how many women suffer through rape and, because it wasn't violent stranger rape, assume what happened wasn't, in fact, rape? as a defense mechanism for what just happened to them.

Right. Because every rape victim ever has always been immediately aware of the severity of what took place and never tries to excuse, rationalize or blame themselves for what happen. No rape victim has ever remained silent because they feared shame, reprisal or further abuse for making "a big deal" out of having been

or maybe she was so shocked, she was in denial, and assumed that what happened wasn't rape.

Wow like women who get the shit beaten out of them and still go back to the abuser. Thank God we have you to tell us what REAL VICTIMS act like. BARF

We don't know if he forced her to go back to the hotel room. He could have made her feel so unsafe that she couldn't say no. Please stop victim blaming, you asshole.

Just for you.
