Hey, I get it. I had a nasty ass separation where I found out the majority of my long term relationship had been built on lies. It’s been just over 20 months. It was so hard at first, so ridiculously hard. In that time I’ve forgiven myself (well, stopped blaming myself), found a new lease on life and have managed to…

Right! Like he could have just said something about not wanting to do it anymore, or needing to find himself... both things he said after he said that first line. But that hurt, especially as I had noticed a change in his attitude towards me and had sat down with him to talk it over and even said “Do you want a break,…

WOW. What a raging douche canoe. I know it is a typical thing to say, but you are definitely better off without that toe rag.

“I’ve been wanting to leave you for 18months, but you were paying for everything and it was convenient *shrugs*”
Said by my long term partner a week before moving to a new town a few years ago. Safe to say I dodged a bullet there, I do kick myself still for not seeing it. Hindsight is 20/20 after all...

Going by Gawkers standard, since Port Arthur in 1996, we’ve had 2 mass shootings since then. One in 2011, an 8 hour siege resulting in 3 dead, 1 civillian injured, 2 police officers wounded. Another in 2014, a father shooting his wife, 3 children and then himself, taking the toll to 5. I may have the details a bit…

OMG YES! After joinging the dating pool, I was astounded by the amount of guys that’d jokingly say “Hey, no getting clingy and girly after sex.”, then chuck an epic sad that I was bailing immediately after. Like, I thought we both knew this was a casual thing, see you again never.

I am in my mid 20’s and needed my mum’s couch. You are doing it 100% right and is exactly what I aspire to!

Omg! Yes! Only for me, it was a super conservative aunt.

Same here. I was actually so embarrassed in sex ed because of my non existant labia minora. I was so worried about not having them (oh to be 12 again). But it’s my vulva, my body. We have fun. It’s great. But I certainly don’t feel childlike.

My love for her and Sister Act knows no bounds

I just assume they are intimidated, and the only way they know how to exert power over women is to offend them, and what better time than when they are naked! Douchenozzles.

Agreed 100%. It is infuriating.

That would have been beautiful. I wish I could vomit on command just for occasions like that!

I practically have no labia minora, and have felt like a freak when more than one sex partner has exclaimed that I have a “proper looking one, like you see in porn” (like wtf is that even supposed to mean).
The guys were always somehow baffled when I wasn’t appreciative of their “Compliment”. My response to the guys…

Obviously where my ex learnt that, too. Sorry for your experience with that. It is just... awful.

I appreciate your valiant efforts in the fight against stupidity.

Haha! Thanks.

It really is a self esteem killer. Especially when you are young!

For those struggling to grasp the difference between “Feminism” and “Humanism” and what “Equality for all people” is, here you go:

I seriously want to throw dictionaries at the “I believe in equality. I am a humanist” camp. Egalitarianism. That’s the word you’re after, guys.
