Really interesting response. I listened to the TAL piece and it was really, really powerful. I'm only a casual Twitter user so it's hard to envision how they will get to work on this, but I'm interested to know what kinds of strategies they have in mind.

Agreed. That, and they specifically address and then dispose of the "But he totally wanted it" excuse, going so far as to say "That is what rapists say." They also didn't shy away from using the word rapist or raped. They could have easily gone with "took advantage of" or something like that, but they didn't.
The fact that Abbi understood that it was wrong and called herself a monster is what sold it for me. Both rape moments in the episode, the Male Stacy one and when Abbi unwittingly kisses a 16 year old later, are immediately followed by "WHAT DID I DO??" not high fives. Still uncomfortable stuff, but that's what makes…
I am that crying baby today. I'm exhausted, PMSing, depressed because I just turned 30 on Monday and feel like I'm a failure at life for no reason, work is taking advantage of me again. I called my mom sobbing and she was basically the older brother in this video all, "Have you slept? Honey, you need to sleep."
I can't write a response better than this woman's so I'll just share hers.
I'm in the unique position of not cringing one bit at this. Because as of yet I haven't heard a poop-related hookup story worse than my own.
only bang a guy with a downstairs bathroom.
Back in my day, I belted "A PART OF YOUR WORLD" in the shower over and over. for months It was only about a year later, when my brother was belting the Pretty Woman song in the shower than I learned that, no, the shower is not soundproof and you can hear the singing clear as day everywhere in the house.
