I was just going to say that too. I find myself reading a lot of fanfic lately and you see a huge amount of both explicit/enthusiastic consent and also noncon/dubcon.

“My other question is: Why allow makeup to be returned in the first place?”

Well it wasn’t all that long ago that a woman wasn’t allowed to sexually desire any man unless she was married to him, so I always figured these rapey scenes were to allow the heroine to experience sex but still maintain some degree of respectability and sympathy. It’s still all sorts of wrong but that’s the reasoning…

There is just SO MUCH happening here. My eyes can’t even focus on one part.

I tried with JR Ward, I really did. Some of the urban fantasy parts are her books are fun, but the brotastic dialogue of most of her heroes was hard to get through after a while.

Wait is there a sex scene in Wrinkle in Time I somehow didn’t notice?

I was prepared to say “Meh, isn’t all ice dancing and pairs just hands and faces in crotches” but I suppose they went a step further with the full “face in crotch nuzzle.”

Um why exactly would property maintenance be the towns responsibility. They aren’t town owned geese. Do they remove the snow nature puts there in the winter too?

Andi Dier was trolling an obviously emotionally fragile woman. I’m not sure why Mortal Dictata and others feel the need to reward her behavior by treating her like it was some brave speaking truth to power moment. It’s just manipulative, messy, and sad.

Hmm. I dunno that I think her reaction was transphobic. I think she was absolutely wrong on the stats she threw out in the second video, but she said again and again that trans women are women. The woman who was yelling at her was accusing her of doing nothing about violence against trans women and, in particular,…

I’m not tired, because this isn’t work. I think you don’t understand because you’re demonstrating that. Of course I know nothing of your life, but this isn’t group therapy, and let’s be honest, you came here specifically to take up a position that belies rage toward this girl without really understanding her. You…

You misunderstand me. I’m literally saying there is no good or justice here. Punishing someone for whom rehabilitation is a remote possibility is not really justice, it is simply revenge. Interesting you bring up whiteness - I’ve found that white people tend to have a stronger connection to the “just world hypothesis”…

I don’t really get why this is bothering people. This article was about the sentencing. It’s newsworthy (to me) because she was tried as an adult when she committed the crime at 12. As a lawyer, I think that’s fucked.

Or it’s because they’re children who were tried as adults and some people think that is a perversion of our so-called justice system.

You can do both. This girl suffered from schizophrenia. That’s not something be brushed aside.

I’ve never heard of anybody stabbing a pig in the heart. You shoot them in the head...

Why is that good?

There’s a really, really sad article about Morgan on Hazlitt.

I’m just here for the vegan comments...
