Something bad happened to a woman? SHE MUST’VE HANDLED IT WRONG. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IF YOU AREN’T PERFECT YOU DESERVED TO BE A VICTIM. SHE MUST’VE BEEN ASKING FOR IT. VICTIMS ARE WHO WE SHOULD REALLY BLAME.

When I was younger, I naively hoped maybe one day I’d write a book noteworthy enough to make it into The New York Times. The first time my words were printed in The Times, they were anonymous, and they were about someone who had sexually assaulted me.

I really fucking hope tons and tons of people read this and realize that assault is a serious thing, and for some reason we keep treating it as ‘women are just lying bitches’ and THAT’S NOT FUCKING OKAY.

I believe you.
And thank you. A squillion times thank you.

Pedophiles are a lot more common than most people think they are. Since no one wants to believe that beloved (aunt/uncle/mom/dad/older sister/older brother/trusted friend) is a child molester they disbelieve the child and cover up the evidence. It is a mental self defense mechanism against a truth too terrible to…

I’m trying so incredibly hard to contain my anger at the ignorant comments I’ve been reading. I was raped by my brother throughout my childhood. It wasn’t innocent “playing doctor” and it certainly didn’t fucking matter how old he was. The power and size difference were very real. That same brother is now under…

It’s not gossip. Read the police report. All of the victims say he did and say he apologized for it. The parents admit it too.

No! Not the Executive Director of the Family Research Council’s lobbying wing!?

Why do I get the feeling if my mother did this, it would go something like:

It technically wasn’t meant for women, as Attitude is a gay male magazine. Does that mean that women can’t find some enjoyment from it? Absolutely not. There are also women, of all sexualities, that read GQ and Maxim magazine too.

As I said below, I don’t think she disapproves, just that she has a parental or familial view of these kids and it’s difficult for her to see.

Attitude is a gay magazine. Pretty sure that’s what Kshortie16 meant.

Be still, my heart.

You know what’s funny? Both this and half-naked women were meant for the male gaze, so why you’re asking women why this is okay is pretty hilarious.

STOP SLUT SHAMING HIM JK ROWLING! HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PARADE HIS SEXY BODY ANYWHERE. FOR FEMINISM!*

Aw, I think that’s a sweet comment from J.K... I don’t think she’s displeased - I feel like that’s sort of the reaction I would have if my little brother decided to pose half (or more than half) naked for a magazine. “Awww I love you no matter what and more than anything but for God’s sake I have no need to see that…

If Neville’s the Wrongbottom I don’t wanna be right.

I love the Girl Scouts so much. This is not surprising to me. They’ve always been progressive towards LGBT rights and feminism.

I am my daughter’s Daisy scout leader and I couldn't be prouder!

Right on the money!
