this comment deserves all the stars in the universe.

I agree. It shouldn’t matter what we look like. I wish it wouldn’t come up in these discussions in the first place, but trolls always insert themselves into the discussion and try to invalidate women based on what they think we might look like, as if it's relevent. And you’re right about good looking (and young)…

That is one ugly family.

If someone touched my hair without asking, I don’t think I would assault them, but I’d be pissed. However, if someone invaded my space in a way that might make me feel unsafe (e.g. Grabbing me around the waist, wrist, touching my butt) I might bust out some self-defense reflexively. Everyone has the right to protect…

Of course I dont think that people who are heavy or not conventionally attractive are worthless. (And literally all kinds of people get assaulted because sexual assault isn’t really about lust or attraction.) I was just attempting to mock the troll. Trolls have a habit of calling women those particular things when we…

Well, look at it this way. Were rural white people enslaved, lynched, treated like second class citizens, barred from using the same fountains and eating at the same restaurants as wealthier white people? Have they been refused jobs and housing on the basis of being a “dirty redneck?” Are they regularly murdered by…

Uh, I lived in SF, and i don’t recall touching people’s hair/body being part of the culture.

thats right, ugly’ people. We’re all hairy fat lesbians with no sense of humor. It's not like assault survivors are ever conventionally attractive people who are tired of men bothering them whenever they leave the house.

I admittedly made the me mistake of getting off on the wrong floor and attempting to get into the apartment directly above mine. While i was struggling with the key, a little old man opened the door, and I immediately realized that I was on the wrong floor. I apologized, went to my actual apartment, and forgot all…

Oh my god. Do you know what event that is from?

So....I admittedly made that mistake once. Got off the elevator on 4 instead of 3. While I was trying to get the key to work, a nice little old man opened the door, at which point I realized “whoops! Wrong apt!” Not “this old man is robbing me!”

That’s very true. Rape victims who become pregnant will be forced to endure a pregnancy, I guess unless they live close to either border. Hopefully organizations like the Jane collective will reconvene and find doctors or med students who can competently help them. (I'm wondering if med schools will continue to teach…

I was thinking john Kelly. Someone who thinks one of the USA’s biggest problems is that our military isnt fucking big enough, and that finance is “too regulated.”

Actually that was a pretty good insult. It made me laugh. And I am NOT easily amused.

The total blocking effect of suboxone only lasts about 4 hours per mg, actually, so people can alternate between suboxone and’ heroin every other day, depending on their dosage.

Now I just want to rescue all those lab bunnies. :(

Looks like I’m not the only person affected by extremely weird auto correct on Kinja. (I assume it’s kinja and not my phone.) it literally changes every word I type into something completely unrelated sometimes.

Does it matter if we don't live in those states? I'll call anyway - I have a medical condition that makes pregnancy dangerous. I'm lucky in that I can just choose to date women or trans men, but most people don't have that option. Overturning roe v wade could result in my death.

If kavanaugh is confirmed, and you don’t want to be pregnant, boycott sex with men. They don't deserve to sleep with you anyway. Get a toy collection, or find a female partner. Or date trans men, who are much better-looking and won't knock you up.

the least the legal system can do is give the victims the opportunity to NOT get killed be their abuser, and killing them first seems like pretty much the only way to guarantee that.
