This is backed up by several research studies into self-awareness of rapists. Apparently, rapists will admit they are rapists as long as the word isn’t used in the questioning e.g ‘Have you ever had sexual intercourse with someone who did not want you to because they were too intoxicated to resist?’. Disturbingly,…

Not all teenagers pressure partners to do things they don’t want to do. Stop trying to normalize asocial behavior.

That’s exactly what my rapist did. I tried to push him off me, but stopped struggling when he said he liked it. Months later, I told him he had raped me, and he told me he “didn’t see it that way.” He still has no idea why I’m so angry, or why I was so relieved when he finally said he wanted to divorce. He expected me…

The prizes for that game are terrible.

2 things - 1, you can be an asshole AND a rapist. 2, I’m sick of ppl acting like social media is a court of law. Unless we’re on the jury, we don’t need to wait til someone’s proven guilty to believe their (almost a dozen) accusers.

He’s not a closeted liberal, he has no political ideology other than “Trump”. What we are watching is a man without ideals tune a message like a radio, as he dials in positions that resonate with core constituencies. Anything he says is basically a dog whistle tuned to the audible range.

“ I am not politically correct nor do I particularly care if people disagree with me.”

‘My punishment is that one of the coolest people on the planet dislikes me and I don’t get to have her friendship.’

It’s even dumber than that. “Here’s the thing about all the women who’ve accused me or rape: They’re all women I’ve had sex with.”

Ummmm no. If rape is wrong, then it’s wrong. Even suggesting rape as a punishment is gross.

The person, who identifies himself as male, also says that while Deen is an “asshole,” he’s not a rapist...

Even Nets. Nets West.

Arts and farts and facts?

“Go to break, then, Joe,” Trump responded. “All I’m doing is giving you the facts and you don’t wanna hear the facts.”

Oh definitely. That wasn’t supposed to be a plus. :) I feel like Goldie Hawn deserves better though.

OH I love him in that, too! I love that movie even though that song REALLY starts to get to you.

Look, I get where you’re coming from, I do. But I decide who I’m going to interact with. Me. As far as things escalating, I said what I had to say, and that’s it. If you don’t want to read the interaction, don’t. You can just scroll down.

If everyone could refrain from saying that you just KNEW that there was something off about James Deen, and you just KNEW he was a bad guy from the vibes he gave you through pictures of his face, that’d be great. When I got out of my abusive relationships and began to be more vocal, one of the worst things to hear was…

Know a lot about trauma, and how it effects each individual person? Read some rape stories, and you'll find a common thread is the denial that it was rape. That the person they're in a relationship with would never do that. They tell themselves it was everything but rape, until they can't anymore. This is not uncommon.

Don’t forget the blue ringed octopus.
