I don’t think it’s that people need to be told having sex with an unconscious person is bad; it’s that people need to understand that there is no circumstance in the world that could merit that being seen as anything other than 100% assault. When I say people in this country are uneducated about what constitutes rape,…

The sad part is that *most* people in America are uneducated about rape and what constitutes it. Most people do not grow up in progressive metropolitan bubbles. Brock turner is from middle American suburbia. I’ll bet you he was educated in a “good” public school. Granted, I attended flyover country public school over…

“rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists.”

“Waiiiit a minute. But I was under the impression that if she didn’t say no because she was passed out drunk and completely incapable of saying anything then that is totally nottttttt rape? Am I wrong here?” - frat guys of middle America

But you don’t get it! He’s just a Caucasian boy! Life’s hard for people like him ok? You don’t know how tough it can be when you’ve got so much pressure to succeed at swimming matches! Or like how you are expected to “get a job” and “do the right thing” just because you come from a financially secure family and have…

John Carney’s movies aren’t bad. “Once” is good, and “Sing Street” was pretty delightful. It doesn’t mean he’s a nice person or that his evaluation of Keira is fair. But objectively he is known in Hollywood.

Part of the problem is they used to (maybe? possibly?) have more of a legit writing staff. Like, actual professional journalists who had at least had a minimal level of consistency/voice etc. now it just feels like a rotating slew of random 22 year-olds who believe that knowing how to submit a think piece online means…

About a year and a half ago, I quit reading xojane cold turkey after a particularly appalling piece, and swore I’d never traffick the site again. It’s the only resolution I’ve ever stuck to 100%, and this type of press is proof that it was the right call.

He is 5'7. Maybe it's just bc I'm tall but once I found that out his boy next door hotness vibe took a dive.

If we are talking about the same person I hope that you didn’t have to go through the same thing. The sad part is he’s very visible on social media, so though we have not been in contact for a long time (he had been harassing me extensively, finally ceasing contact only after the threat of legal action from my family)…

True story: I had a connection with them a few years ago. Weirdly, the absolute crappiest guy I’ve ever dated was friends with them - I’m talking he wrote for Jezebel about feminism while he emotionally abused me behind the scenes, is now moderately famous, and is utterly awful - and I always wondered why people like…

The truth is they probably aren’t actually in it to genuinely protect her. Id guess they’re mostly just lost people turning to celeb worship as a way of creating identity.

Yeah. The hyopcriticism makes my conscience scream. granted, guess this is apropos for a woman who’s fine dancing on stage backlit by the word “feminist” and then posing for pics while front row at a fight that directly gilds Floyd mayweathers pockets.

I’m with you. I mean, she is talented, even iconic (Tho i tend to think “icons” are usually just regular people with a skill, who have the luck of gaining fame at a particularly opportune cultural moment). shes fun to watch and listen to but so are a lot of other artists.

Good for you! They say that happiness lies just past doing the one thing you fear most. I predict that your life will change in great ways.

My grandparents split up in their 80s after 50something years (not technically divorced cuz too legally hard but not living together etc). We fully credit this split for my grandfather coming back to health after years of illnesses. Bad marriages aren't ideal living situations!

We are all entitled to our beliefs and decisions, but it sets a dangerous precedent when we start creating rules that deny other people the right to their own beliefs and decisions.

Look candy corn is nothing to be ashamed of. Shout your candy corn fandom.

Not a vegan, but pretty sure this is not a vegan thing an and more of an “I’m a professional asshole who lifestyle vlogs everything I think from my living room” thing.
