    Her aesthetic is 100% hot. It's more things like shoving her tongue down an unconscious man's throat while making slurping sounds that make her occasionally not-attractive.

    They seem to enjoy sprinkling a couple of very cliché lines in between the good dialogue on this show. Not sure if it's some form of self-awareness or just occasional lack of imagination.

    Aubrey Plaza + old timey talk <3

    I was wondering about the sloped floors in the cells during all the scenes we saw them in last episode. Very interesting design.

    Yep, it made me laugh too! Not as much as Hush (the Buffy episode), but still. It was a nice little break from the other feelings this show creates.

    From the Economic Policy Institute, on adjusting for other factors:

    Regarding experience: "Earnings for both female and male full-time workers tend to increase with age. The gender pay gap grows with age, and differences among older workers are considerably larger than gaps among younger workers. Women typically earn about 90 percent of what men are paid until they hit 35. After that

    That's a great example of the difference between consent and lack of respect for consent! I think many situations that seem like the would fall under the "grey zone" aren't at all when you know more about it. You're totally right about the responsibility people have. When I say there are grey zones, or situations, and

    Like I've repeatedly said, there are other situations except for rape where you might be taken advantage of.

    No, women with the same experience AND the same job often make less than men - though not always. I also think you need to consider those "other factors" you briefly mention, and if they might also have something to do with gender and unequal opportunities. I don't think it's simple at all! Most of the wage

    I think it's more complex than that - plenty of people who grow up being assaulted end up having more issues with protecting their boundaries than others! But I'm sure many people learn from it as well. I just wish no one had to.

    Claiming someone is in total control when they're telling you they're not, and common sense about how human beings work also tells you they're not, isn't a good thing - I wouldn't call it disgusting, but I can see why people are upset.

    I never said it wasn't getting better. I do believe in positive change, and I can see that things have gotten much better then they were for example 100 years ago. But the problems are still there, and we can't solve them if we don't acknowledge their existence. Regarding women's wages, I don't have the energy to

    Have you never ever felt forced to do something even if no one was PHYSICALLY forcing you to do it? Or been manipulated and then felt violated?

    Well I live in Sweden, so I don't think we live in the same country. Here are some things I know the US (which is my first guess for where you live) and Sweden have in common:

    Yes, or even when one of them is much more drunk but seems to want to have sex. I don't think the other one should go for it, because I'd prefer to err on the safe side of things, but I definitely count that as a grey area. Or situations where one person doesn't understand that there's a power imbalance. I can't think

    (I'm 99% sure it's because I'm a Bing Crosby fan, so I write his name much more often, but still. Yikes.)

    Oh dear! :S

    He had already crossed a boundary before she said no, so I don't know how much it meant that he "didn't force her" afterwards. And plenty of men do, even after getting a no, so it's not a solution for every situation, if that's what you're implying.

    Huh? Where did I accuse you of being disgusting?
