Ok.

When I was a kid before the world series wins of the 2000's my family (mother and grandmother) would get beer thrown at them at Fenway for wearing Jeter jerseys. I wasn’t even a teen. Even though im still a red sox fan you can’t convince me there’s a worse group of people than red sox and pats fans.

Anyone who attends an NFL with good seats will tell you the refs joke with the players all the time. However, I love the free real estate the Patriots have in the heads of most of America.

I’m like, weirdly excited for Darren Criss? IDK he’s very cute and seems really nice.

I truly don’t understand how hard this concept is to get. This is all anyone needs to know and yet so many people can’t accept.

She is brave for doing this because she will be attacked mercilessly online.

Those “soft signals” are usually types of polite “no”s that are very easy to read if you’re actually paying attention to your date’s feelings. If your date looks uncomfortable, maybe stop and check on them. Ask if they’d like to slow down/stop/take a break/etc. If you’re unsure whether your date wants to do something,…

Wish I could star this more times.

The Week had a great article on the subject: The Myth of the Male Bumbler

I can’t believe this is the first comment I’ve agreed with. How can people be calling it bad sex? Maybe they don’t want to admit that their “bad sex” was actually assault.

Bruhs: “how can I know she DOESN’T want to do something, just by non-verbal cues?”

ALSO bruhs: “how can I be expected to wait for enthusiastic, verbal consent before sticking my (whatever) in her (wherever)? She obviously wants it without even having to say so! Feminazis ruin teh sex!”


Non-verbal cues: apparently only…

ding ding ding. this is very simple, people: she didn’t want to do certain sexual things, he persisted. assault. end of.

I know that I am not the only woman in the world who had sex with someone in hopes that if I did, he wouldn’t rape me.

It feels like I read a different article than some other people. I keep seeing people dismiss the incident as “poor communication” or “bad sex” or people asking why “she didn’t just say no”.

YUP. The NYT and The Atlantic covered this like shit... but I was hoping Jezebel was waiting to post about it after coming up with a good thought out piece. Instead, nope.

Yeah, both people should be into whatever is going on, period. If one of them isn’t into it, then that’s the end of it!

Right? It’s amazing how men are allegedly SO terrified of false rape accusations - but somehow they defend ignoring it when a woman says “I don’t want to feel forced because then I’ll hate you, and I’d rather not hate you.” They defend a man repeatedly moving her hand to his dick after she keeps moving it away. Or…

Thank you! This is exactly it. It’s really showing how shallow Jezebel’s feminism is. They just used #metoo to say #mefirst.

For me, this is the part that Babe didn’t do a good job on. I would have bolded the shit and done that enlarged comment thing for every single time she tried to communicate her refusal and he ignored it. The way they wrote it, it makes it all too easy for those who skim (ie, everyone) to miss those parts in a long…

Meanwhile, a young women professional who fails to recognize the subtle way her supervisor communicates that she is overstepping her bounds at work and writes into an advice column asking why she got fired gets castigated in the comments for being such an inept moron to not realize that she was constantly being met…
