So. I am here to give an update about what happened last week when I fled from my emotionally abusive boyfriend. I've been posting about trying to get out of this relationship for a while but had been very very stuck do to being very very poor and very alone in a new city and not being able to afford a place of my own

There's absolutely no denying that sizeism is a huge issue and that fat women get the worst end of the deal, but while this video may be a little tone-deaf, this article is not okay either. What I've learned from this article is that

The parts where he had sex with her after she said no, stalked her, and browbeat her into sexual acts she explicitly did not want.

Episodes IS a really good show. Smart, funny, subtle - a show that should be just a regular good show, but everything else sucks so much that it stands out even further. I don't think anyone watches it besides me or my mom, though.

I'm always confused when people actively attempt to channel Lolita. Did they actually read the book?

Um, the damsel in distress is a "classic story" because it is archaic and based on sexist stereotypes that once were taken at face value, but now need to be questioned and transformed instead of continuously perpetuated. Which, incidentally, is exactly what Sarkeesian's point is. Funny how that works!

Why does someone have to make their own game to criticize the creative expression behind the use of certain tropes in games? I hear that argument a lot, but I don't think it is really a valid one. Nobody is going to force a developer from making games with damsels in distress. Nobody is going to force a developer from

Dear Columbia administration,

I don't know if I agree. My personal feeling is social media is stronger than any Olivia Pope machine going around and paying people off. Once social media takes hold of it, it's no longer controllable by deep pockets.

I saw a comment somewhere that perfectly sums it up. Why is it easier to believe 1 man than 13 women?

Because it was validated by a MAN calling him out, shitty as it is. Generally speaking, men believe other men; men won't believe a woman.

I agree with this; it's worth having a discussion. I get uncomfortable with how we seem to skip the "discussion" part and jump right too "BAN IT BURN IT KILL IT WITH FIRE BANISH IT TO THE ISLAND OF THE SEVEN SKULLS TO WITHER FOR ALL ETERNITY" the minute we don't agree with something. Please, yes, by all means let's

What if we are actually speaking Jaden instead of English?

I guess there is only one option: use unmistakable body language to indicate your lack of consent to sex. For example, stabbing. Anything short of that is too ambiguous.

This weekend I was at a party and some stranger came up to me and wordlessly rested his hand on my tit. At the time I thought it was a little rude of him, so I gave him a look of disgust and scampered away. But now I realize that I was at a party and having a good time and I probably had my Please Rest Your Hand On My

I put on my "don't rape me face" today and had ten men tell me to smile.

Re: Chris Brown saying "I was like 17-18—I'm 25 now" when the assault on Rihanna took place, of course he wants to make it sound like a youthful transgression that took place almost before he was considered an adult. But when the assault took place in February 2009 he was almost 20 (if Wikepedia's birthdate of May 5

Kind of like CSI-the ghost and Mrs Muir edition

So...am I the only one who thinks that a show about someone who mistakenly buys a boat haunted by Natalie Wood's ghost would be amazing? Especially if the two of them teamed up to solve other unsolved Hollywood cold cases?

Yo, Chris . . .
