Most effective simile I’ve seen in a really long time and perfectly applicable in this situation. I wish I could star more than once, or give you a “super star” or something. Instead, I leave you with this cool pic

While I think it’s awesome that you’re planning on empowering your future child to speak her mind, I’m going to have to disagree with what you said as respectfully as possible.

I am so sorry that you were assaulted. You weren’t assaulted because you didn’t say no, you were assaulted because a rapist decided to rape you.

You say that like it’s crazy. I mean, I’m a super cool girl and I know great recipes and have good taste in movies. Why wouldn’t a boy want to shower me in attention and exchange recipes and talk about movies? What so crazy about a girl thinking a boy is interested in her mind?

So, to whit, “if you come with me and don’t want to have sex, you’re going to get raped.” What a wonderful way of excusing men who cannot or don’t want to restrain their hormonal impulses.

A+ victim blaming there. Good for you.

I mean, so essentially rich people can’t win?

I could not wrap my head around this - when someone tells you that whatever you are doing is physically hurting them, you stop doing what you are doing. This is a basic thing that we all learn as little kids. There was no break down of communication, he just ignored her.

I’m a 26 year old trans woman who wishes she could be pregnant and have her own kids. I think I get even more hurt by the fact it will be that much harder for me to adopt too. I always wanted to be a mom, but some things just may not be meant to be. :’(

I wasn’t raised in a cult and I know I am a full woman no matter what my marital or maternal status is. I want to experience pregnancy and childbirth. I want to feel what it is like to create a human, I want to feel that bond, I want to feel the kicks, I want to deliver a baby and experience that rush of hormones. I…

I always wanted to experience it too. And now I’ve done it twice and I still want to experience again, even though it terrifies me. I can’t really explain why I wanted to in the first place. I was not raised among people who expected me to have kids and fulfill my womanly duties. :P Maybe it was just some weird…

Girl, I can’t seem to get you out of my head.

Period blood is only part of the whole period experience. Were they forced to use stool softeners to get period shits? What about a cramp machine? What about having to pass blood clots?

Cruz said, “For him to make this attack, to use a New York term, it’s the height of chutzpah.”

Flyover states? Cruz is from Texas, ya’ll. By definition, the Midwest has no claim on him and the whole senator thing.

Please - "flyover states" is as offensive as "New York values".

The BernieBros who are doing this shit aren’t Democrats. They were 16 year olds supporting Ron Paul 4 years ago.

I can’t stop saying this! I support Hillary but never say anything negative about Bernie because I don’t want to poison others against him should he win the nomination. Why is this so fucking hard to understand?

i think cruz meant gay-jewey-jewtown, fwiw. pretending nyc is a paradise of tolerance is a little myopic considering the reality of stuff like this and this.

People say that rape accusations are treated more favorably than other crimes, but I’m more concerned about car theft reports. Like, if someone says I stole their car, the police just assume that because I have their car, I must have stolen it, even with zero evidence! Does anyone ever consider that maybe these people…
