Of course it was an assault and you have every right to feel violated! I'm no great believer in karma because I'm simply not that patient but I dream of a day when these guys get their just desserts. How dare he do that to you!

Holy shit, this made me homicidal. How DARE anybody say anything so fucking dismissive and insensitive? And you are entirely correct: rape is not about sex — it's all about power. It's all about sad, inadequate assholes trying to make themselves feel "manly" by destroying somebody else's soul. I think the UNHCR…

Honey, you weren't any safer (and I'm fairly certain you're being WAY too hard on yourself). And why judge yourself on what males find attractive? Who cares what men think? You had the advantage of getting a bird's eye view of their shallowness. That's a lesson that every woman should learn at a young age.

Yeah, good luck with that. I used to believe things could change too. I don't think that anymore. I've evolved into a hostile bitch when I deal with men I don't know (not unsolicited though: I'll give everybody the benefit of the doubt, but once that first comment is spoken or that first liberty is taken, oh God, do…

Again: AMEN! What gets me so damn enraged is that rape culture is so pervasive and the patriarchy sees absolutely nothing wrong with viewing women as commodities.

Amen, sister. I don't give a shit if Miley Cyrus gets her frontal lobe pierced: what I *do* care about is the fact that we as women continue to face inequality and sexism on a daily basis and are expected to simply adjust to it and accept it as a fact of life.

You ladies are absolutely right on. But on the flip side, the problem with being pretty and being assaulted/catcalled/harassed/stalked is that if you do wind up going to the police, you're liable to get some extremely mind bending comments. My favourite? "Well, you're an attractive woman and you can't blame a guy…

PS. I doubt you'd fall within the parameters of what we think is a "good man" Steve. Off you go now, I'm sure the guys on RoKs can't wait to hear all about this....

Pfft! All men are the same. I gave myself to Jesus — and now he never calls.

ROAD TRIP!!!

you can borrow some of mine

With a side of botox, xanax and spanx.

Even my great grandmother would snort at this shit. And then wipe her ass with it. But then again, I come from a very long line of extremely independent, take no prisoners type of women.

Any daughter of mine would be donating it to a bonfire party.

I agree. She's trying to find a husband. That's the only possible explanation. And look at her target audience. Dear God, they deserve each other. I'm sure the MRAs are glad to have her.

I'd never heard this song before and I thought this was a joke. Her voice is HORRIBLE.

Yeah. What a fucking asshole. On days like this, I think I could really hate men.

And to put it in perspective, what size is the average woman? Is she "plus" size? If this is a lucrative market, why wouldn't they service it with cuter clothes and greater selection?

Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly *is* "plus size"? I know clothing manufacturers have been playing with sizes lately — pretty soon what used to be a 2 will be a sub zero so none of these make any logical sense to me any more. I have no frame of reference for this. A few years ago, what was an 8 is…

That looks like his phone to me.
