This always makes me so sad. That just because someone is gay unwanted touching isn’t assault. It feels even worse when they justify it with, “what, it’s not like I actually wanted to fuck you!” because then it’s like okay, you just wanted to demean me and remind me you have power over my body because you’re bigger/a…

I lived in New York for most of the 2000s. They were not over it by October. The trauma of that experience was laid bare a lot during the 8 years I lived there, though less and less as time went on. The initial hours of the blackout in 2003 was a fun experience of minor hysteria.

Also, in what universe is “thank you” a threat?

What? That is so fucking disgusting! Oh I’d have ripped him in half. Using his gayness as an excuse to violate women. That makes my head hot.

I found it pretty chilling that Trump’s latest advert ends with the words on screen claiming “DONALD TRUMP WILL PROTECT YOU. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN”.

Because she shook Juanita Broderick’s hand and threatened her with “Thank you for all your help.” way back when. Somehow that made Hillary worse than Bill.

If Buffy taught us anything, it’s that some demons are pretty alright.

My mind touched the void reading this. Your friend is lucky you didn’t beat the shit out of him with whatever was in arm’s reach. That’s one of the worst things i’ve heard in a while.

That’s what I can’t get over- how many women have since shared stories about having their crotches grabbed. Like, here I was thinking “sexual assault is an all-too common and ignored problem” but then to realize that it’s so flagrant that dudes are just grabbing women’s crotches...

I vividly remember an incident that happened over 20 years ago, when I was in my early twenties. I was sitting in a train, on my way to Christmas dinner, in a nice velvet dress, and a guy with very bad skin sat next to me. I felt super uncomfortable, and was chastising myself for it because I had no reason to feel…

The Dems are being smart about this and linking Trump to all the down-ballot GOP candidates. They have a very real chance of taking the Senate, and a not-totally-unrealistic chance of taking the House, too.

If they have all of this shit lined up and are releasing it for maximum effect... Well, these next couple weeks are going to be the best Season of House of Cards ever.

Right. If a trans woman walks into a women’s restroom to pee, it’s an affront to all we hold sacred. If Donald Trump walks into a women’s restroom to look at undressed women, it’s LOL boys will be boys high five bro.

So I typed out this whole sarcastic remark about it being just words and locker room talk and Bill Clinton yada yada and then I was like NOPE! I’m over joking about this, even in our circle at the Slot. We have to continue calling out the monsters that normalize this kind of discourse which makes it ok to sexually…

every half brother is some woman’s whole son.

As the owner of a male dog, I salute Brendan’s courage.

One of the heartbreaking things about the Trump video is how many women see it as confirmation that this is just how men talk. We don’t.
