Thank you!! I read Sharp Objects long before the Gone Girl movie was being talked about, and I was like, "Wow, what weak characterization. What a weak depiction of self injury. What a lame, cliched ending." And then suddenly, she was all over the news like she's this great author, and I was terribly confused. And now,…

omg thats my biggest fear!! He is getting microchipped next weekend and thats why I make sure he always has a collar on at least. Before i got him a new tag he was coming home with notes tied to his collar asking if he was a stray and to call them. Yes, thats notes plural.
i beg to differ. My cat spends his afternoons grooming families into thinking he is a lost lonely and hungry stray (he's got a collar!!). He was being fed by two families who lived across from each other, who were both really concerned about his well being (he's not underweight or anything, he's just a really sweet,…
uncle? No. It was worse. It was her brother.
My best friend (now bf) when we were 22.
let me guess, you also like naked women, stockings, lesbians, and Sean Connery best as James Bond?
i also think it helps for men to hear "hey, I have a similar lived experience, and I see why we need feminism. Why don't you see it?"
right? For a second I was like "a serious expression would have looked better" but then I was like "but this photo makes her so fun and chill!" Reminds me of my friends (we didn't knock in college).
It's been a while since I heard or red this, so I could be totally wrong, but I think that's because Cherokees assimilated a lot more then other NA (i.e. they converted to christianity, etc).
You realize nobody ever asks accused rapists any variation of "did you ask if they wanted to have sex with you?" Thats an improvement right there.
people get off of rape charges by successfully arguing that she "didn't say no" or some variation of "i didnt know she didnt want it." This law erases that defense and changes the cultural question from "why didnt she say no" to "Well did she say she wanted to have sex with you?" It puts the onus on the rapist to…
before I got comfortable with sex, I was really quiet about it (I am generally a loud mouth). But during sex I didnt really know what noises to make, so I didn't make any (i know i know) and my orgasm face looked like I was in pain (I am like really sexy). However, my partners, concerned about me enjoying sex and…
when I was ten I used payphones to call my parents to pick me up or if i was going to be late etc. payphones are no more. I don't see why kids shouldn't have phones anymore.
but when they finally got around to testing those, they found that many of the dna samples were from serial rapists. I would bet they didnt only rape women who reported it.
i have to disagree with that. I would say its very difficult to seperate sex and misogyny in DISCUSSIONS of sex. But not in practice.
Have you watched interviews with her? She's not disabled. She has a messed up jaw thanks to routine beatings. And her grammar is poor bc she a: never finished high school and b: didnt get a good education in the first place. Read her book, watch her interviews. Listen to what she says, not how she says it. Her…
I dont get why people always think victims are being exploited. A main component of healing from trauma is telling your story. It's getting your story out there. Its sharing the pain. It's about not letting silence (which passively supports the perpetrator) prevail. It's incredibly powerful that shes speaking up and…
