There are some arguments you can’t win, and after a while, walking away is the only power move you have left. I look at it as not valuing their “opinion” enough to stick around and listen to them anymore.

I do get overly emotional sometimes and have had to walk away from conversations and arguments I’ve had with people, but can’t not do anything anymore. I will be the first to admit that I won’t always confront someone who I think could threaten my personal safety, but I will always make an effort to be there for other…
It took years for me to find the wherewithal to confront it. It’s still a truth I grapple with. But ones things for sure, when people say “I wouldn’t wish ____ on my worst enemy,” I feel like they haven’t had serious enough enemies.
Like the scene from Ghost.
i’m sure more women would speak out if there wasn’t this constant backlash of “false reports happen a lot, women lie!” and various other types of obfuscation and bullshit from rape-apologists and women-haters. most of the young women i know have stories like these—they are just very careful of who they share these…
It’s shitty and it still happens a lot. I get called a bitch and am told I'm over sensitive for being vocal when I object to comments or situations I’m witness to. I am a-ok with those titles and wear them with pride.
it’s that they can dehumanise women, so they don’t have to feel any empathy for them to rape their unconscious bodies. some people actively chose where (and where not) to direct their empathy. it is about control, not about sex. they feel impotent in some facet of their lives and they compensate for that by targeting…
Haha! That’s an amazing burn! May I use?
Thanks. It’s just what you said in later comments — the added protection is really what it’s all about. My ex breaking into my place before I got the restraining order was against the law, but he left before the cops showed up and when they got here, they filed it as a domestic disturbance—meaning he was never…
It’s not generally about having “sex with sleeping girls” because most rape is about much more than just sex. It’s about power, and the drugs are about establishing the ability to take something. Plenty of rapists and predators could find a willing partner (the classic example being Ted Bundy, who was attractive and…
In no way do I have a professional opinion about this, but I HAVE watched a lot of Law & Order: SVU =P
Just gathering from what I have read over the years, I would venture to say their motivation comes from a desire to have absolute control/power over another individual. I’m sure there are cases where the guy has…
It's like he hired Steven Tyler as his stylist.
As I said elsewhere, rape is largely about asserting power and ego, rather than the satisfaction of the sex act itself.
My cousins and brothers loved to run around naked!
Just a guess, but I would not be shocked if the concept of “friendship” was a one-way street. This dude was probably all worked up with rage that this woman he was pretending to have a friendship with wouldn’t hook up with him even though he was being so very, very nice.
You don’t want her seeing “other” guy’s dicks? Is your dick okay for her to see? Do you generally see genitals at all when you are in any public bathroom? Are you looking for them?
Uh okay, but where is she supposed to go if her dad can’t take her into the woman’s bathroom? pee her pants?
Stop sexualizing a 5-year old, she’s going potty, not checking out “other guys dick.”
Nothing bae can stay, Pony Boy.
