I have a copy of her diary ( my copy is in Spanish, I bought it while I was living in Mexico briefly during university-though I think you can get a translated version. ) with an appendix analysis. It’s pretty phenomenal. If you can get your hands on a copy I highly recommend it. It’s a beautiful insight into her mind.

I know right. I do love Rivera’s works, but it definitely pales in comparison to Frida’s work.

BUT the upside is that they even did this much. It’s showing an attitude adjustment if not a complete change, because if even the family of the victim is saying you’re being willy-nilly even after charging and sentencing dozens, instead of giving their full-throated assent to the process, that’s a problem.

I can’t believe the willingness to kill over a damn book that’s in mass print anyway. I know she didn’t do it but the fact that it has to be said so many times, like it matters, is mind boggling.

You should. She was absolutely amazing.

I was trying to explain the concept of being afraid of men to my husband the other night when he mentioned how nice it was that this woman on the train was being so nice to this loud drunk guy. I said she was probably afraid of him; he said she was just being nice. I said she was being nice so he would not…

Men don’t get this; it’s about trying to guess which ones won’t take “no” for an answer. Doing that math can range from annoying to terrifying.

Every time I hear someone say that women should just accept catcalls as compliments or that they’re harmless, I start getting angry.

I went on a rant about PUAs and my partner thought it would be funny, as a joke joke, hahaha, etc, to employ negging and “4 to 1 text” (i.e.: answer once to each 4 texts) techniques on me, assuming I’d know what he was doing, as I had been “researching” these things, blah blah.

Yeah, that was an exaggeration for comic effect, number one, and I seriously give no fucks about the opinion of someone who feels it’s appropriate to judge a woman about her weight and comment about it directly and then get high and mighty about her returning the barb. This guy also continued to engage with me after I…

Myeah. Since I’ve only ever really seen you be rude to people on here I think I’ll take your response to Dunham for what it’s worth.

I can concentrate really hard and grasp what you’re saying, but then I realise that in context you’re defending Lena Dunham’s infuriating and constant self involvement and it just turns into a buzzing sound in my head.

Here’s how it “works”:

I feel you, bro. I feel you. Kid!me always wondered why actively pursuing boys got me zero play, while they all pined for the bitchy goth chick who didn’t want to date any of them. Yet when I was good and sick of boys and ignored them all in college, they suddenly couldn’t get enough.
