Sorry about your shitty ex-friend and your illness. Hope you’re feeling okay!

That hollow feeling when you first read she’s missing, cynically assume that she’s probably already dead, and find out that you’re right.

When I worked downtown as a shopgirl, I used to see the lady in white (white lady) all the time...there was some urban legend associated with her. And then there’s Thoth...who was a fixture at CC BART. He won a frickin’ Oscar.

I like your friend.

Here’s where the real money is. I hope to install them next to every meat machine.

I want to cast her in my Rainbow Brite/Golden Girls mash-up.

I think these men just think it shouldn’t be considered rape. That it’s fair game and that rape should be reserved for a very few limited circumstances (stranger rape in which a woman is beaten badly). I think that the attitude of too many men is that acquaintance rape should not be considered rape, and blame women…

And also domestic violence. They should be teaching kids about rape, consent and domestic violence and resources in Junior High and High School. These are public health issues and deserve to be front in center of any education.

I fucking hated that movie, and I’m a man. Agree 100%.

Katherine Douglas, a 65-year-old Trump supporter in Florida, told Reuters that she like his unpredictability. “He’s going to put other world leaders on edge,” Douglas said.

It’s weird that in the US sports are the most important part of school culture. In the rest of the world they have teams and clubs that are separate from schools.

YOU HAVE SUCH A NICE SMILE YOU SHOULD USE IT MOREEE

I met HRC once, on my 21st birthday. I was working at a Clinton Foundation fundraiser at the Museum of Natural History in NYC. They hadn’t told us anything about how the Clintons would enter and I just assumed they would come in the back through some super secret door or something.

God, I hope they do. He’s a whiny man-child who revels in sticking it to her that he cheated. She’s losing her freaking mind over it because she cannot get the strength to tell him to kiss her ass.

I’m not sure about others, but I can hear if someone says no. It’s pretty obvious. It’s a convenient defense, really. Labrie is just so confused by sex (despite having it before) and just doesn’t understand the word “no.” That’s bullshit. The issue is entitlement - Labrie, and many others, believe that if he wants to…

First, the whole rape is about power and not sex thing is predicated on the idea that some how sex and power are in no way related. Sex and power and control are very intertwined for lots and lots of healthy people. Probably the majority of us

You make him sound so innocent. Practically naive. I agree with almost all of what you said regarding sex and relationship education, but theres an important distinction that needs to be made between not knowing and not caring to know.

When SVU ripped this from the headlines, they did a surprisingly good job in portraying the utter confusion and signal-crossing that went on between the two fictional teenagers. Both of them totally bewildered by what they think is expected of them by their friends, both obviously unsure how much of their encounter is…

Bullshit. Labrie was trained in the specifics of what constituted sexual assault because he was supposed to be one of the people other students went to if they were assaulted. From the discussions with his bros , it is clear that he was well aware that this was illegal and he went ahead anyway, because he thought he…

Personally, I disagree. I think one of the issues we have when it comes to rape is that one doesn’t really have to “devise methods to avoid consequences” because it is so uncommon for there to actually be any consequences for rape.
