I just swooned. Get my smelling salts, will you?

The problem with Texas making decisions on things like history and science books is that they are huge buyers of these books and they’re often not re-written or revised for other state’s school districts, so the crazy coming out of Texas bleeds into other parts of the country.

I ordered one thing from them but yep, it didn’t really work due to fit. Short in the waist and not enough room for the boobs. So I gave it to a friend who then had it modified at a tailor.

100% agree. The number of stupid choices I’ve made in my life sometimes astounds even me. I’ thankful that none of them resulted in anything too awful.

The black leather trousers are doing Legend no favours. They make him look hippy.

I think it’s bullshit to get our knickers in a twist about this, full stop. It wasn’t intentional. it wasn’t intentionally directed at the woman in question and hey, people fucking talk and they make comments. Often dumb comments. But let’s just skewer every single one of them because if we police every single fucking…

Well, I am, Should I flash my tits to prove it? Or are you just unable to believe that a feminist woman think this is a tempest in a teapot? Because hey, we all know all women are all alike, with exact same thoughts and anyone who strays is not really a woman. Or maybe not the kind of woman that tows the line. Which…

No way. She is saying something that is so offensive that I cannot separate this shit.

Nah, It was pretty obvious for a long time that Cosby was an asshole although the whole rapey thing was not quite so apparent. I don’t know about this phone call biz so please provide a link.

Not sure of your point?

I will judge because her comments, as a public figure, are dragging the discussion back to ‘what did you wear/do/how did you act’. It’s victim blaming. I’m sorry she was raped but that does not, in any way, give her carte blanche to put forth a victim blaming narrative that is incredibly destructive and pulls us back…

Whoops....82% https://rainn.org/get-informatio…

Yep, have only seen it here and it was something of a shitstorm when it happened. I’m all for calling out assholes but don’t take a random Internet posting and smear someone. So not cool. We need to be careful about this shit because anyone can say anything on the Internet but it doesn’t make it true. You’d think…

Joan Jett, whom I love and was often compared to, looks wise, when I was young, blew my mind with her bullshit. These women are all such disappointments. Time to forget about them and forge new ground with new voices, young and old.

She’s got a book coming out next week. My guess is she needs to shift copies. She lives in London, hasn’t done much in years and hey, get money, bitch. I’m cynical but I really think this is her angle.

She was fucked up on drugs at the time, it seems, and so blames herself. I don’t really know what to say about that because of course going off with bikers dudes wearing those types of slogans was not smart, particularly when off her head on drugs. That said, it was still their choice to rape her.

It’s often the case with any kind of abuse. People think ‘if only I hadn’t done that’ or ‘if only I had made different choices’. It’s all bullshit. At the end of the day if someone chooses to hurt you, abuse you, treat you badly in any way the onus is on them, not you. You didn’t ‘ask for it’.

Totally agree. Who deems what is modest and what is not? I sometimes wear skirts and heels for work, then go for drinks after. Sometimes those drinks involve people I don’t know well, i.e. clients. Am I asking to be raped if I joke and have a good time and whoopsie, my rather large breasts exist and not fully covered?…

Agree. Was addressing her argument that if you’re walking around half naked and drunk at 3am then dammit, own your rape!

Yeah, the whole ‘well, you wouldn’t leave your keys in your car ignition in a dangerous area’ argument pisses me off. First of all, women are not possessions. Second, we have our vaginas with us all of the time and surprisingly most men are aware of this. Thirdly, roughly 80% of rapes are non-stranger so it’s not…
