Correlation =/= Causation.

Boy, that was a tough one!

Same!! And in the Pirates movies, they painted on her cleavage.

Also, omfg, your name. Song of the Lioness was my favorite series growing up (and itprobably still is, let’s be honest).

I thought this as well, but in her defense, that rape wasn’t really used as a plot device, and it wasn’t the defining backstory for her character. I personally thought it was unnecessary, because we already knew she was a prisoner to her husband, who was an absolute monster. So that scene didn’t really teach us…

I side eye men that eagerly watch media that contains that sort of thing. My boyfriend will google shit to make sure it won’t trigger me before suggesting we watch a thing, and I know he does that for my sake, and not out of a passionate disdain for rape scenes, but the fact that he understands that it is upsetting…

She did.

Please continue to yell at this choir, because this choir is emotionally distraught and desperately needs people to reassure it that all these abusive men are in the wrong, and it’s not its fault for being too nice.

I’m too drunk and too emotional to make a thoughtful response to this, so I’m just gonna say: thank you.

I actually love Aziz, and read it with every intention of giving him the benefit of the doubt. I think he didn’t realize how abusive his behavior was, and had no intention of causing harm. But the fact remains that he did ignore verbal and non-verbal cues to stop. He repeatedly followed her around when she push him…

Except for when he didn’t. According to her, he followed her around when she tried to push him off and walk away, and he put her hand on his dick when she tried to stop.

Literally pushing someone away from you does not require someone to “read what you may be thinking.” That is a clear, non-verbal clue that any reasonable person should be able to interpret as a “no.”

Why can’t the conversation instead be about how men take advantage of women’s discomfort and non-verbal cues in an abusive power-play? Why can’t the conversation just be how we need to respect and listen to women? Why the fuck is the issue with women’s passivity and not men’s abusive behaviors?

Because, yes, ignoring…

The fact that so many people think this was just “bad sex” honestly frightens me. He literally ignored all verbal cues to stop or slow down, ignored the fact that she would pull away and freeze up, followed her around his apartment, and kept groping her and putting her hand on his dick. That is not bad sex. That is…

Actually, my mom gave it to me, but I tried to find it, and this looks like it (although mine’s not purple):

My mom gave it to me, but I think this might be it (although mine’s not purple?):

Yes, CONGRATS!!!

Oh, neat! I keep a refillable water bottle and don’t drink soda, so I doubt I’d ever use that. But I do have this collapsible container for leftovers when I go out so I don’t have to ask for one of their styrofoam boxes! Because I always order too much.

I’ve sort of been there. I failed out of community college for the same reason, and stayed in my safe space for a really long time. I went back and transferred to a four year school a few years back and just graduated in December.

I’m not sure I have any tips, though, other than to always remember that getting to this…

I did that with my bras and underwear, too. I only buy black and nude undies, and white and black socks. Because it makes me feel like a full ass adult when my bra matches my panties.

I don’t know if this counts as a lifehack, but I recently decided to keep floss in my purse and now I floss almost as often as you’re…

You can petition those websites to have the photos removed, and if they’re not those hella creepy websites that blackmail the victims, most will take them down. But I personally don’t, because they could always be reposted, and constantly searching for them in an effort to keep them off the internet is a burden that…

Seriously? Was he always an entitled creep?
