I think he would be appalled to know that he is my rapist. I don't think he could wrap his mind around it. Hell, I'm not even sure if he remembers that it happened.
Yep. I'm certain that the man who woke me up by penetrating me and when I said no rolled me over and held my face to the pillow while he finished doesn't think he's a rapist either—frankly, as an adult woman when it happened it took time for me to come to terms with it as well. Rarely do people want to think of…
Yep. I can't tell you how many people at my college who spoke out about their own assaults on campus at a rally had to do so with their rapist clearly visible in the crowd.

Your food shirt in the video was hella cool man!

I was initially on Lily Allen's side because I thought her "Hard Out Here" video was critiquing artists like Miley Cyrus who reduced African American women to objects in their performances. But since she has steadfastly refused to say that, and is preferring to take the simplistic and critical-thinking-free stance of…
But do we know what makrut means? Is there any chance we could be switching the name to some kind of racist asian slur? Maybe it is some kind of cosmic convergence and these are just racist limes, destined to be named something offensive in every language.
Oh yeah. It's a BAD one. It is absolutely a direct 1:1 parallel to the n-word.
So, only the rich get racist limes. Classist racist limes.
I've literally never heard this in my life. Is it a regional thing?
It scares me that there are people who will think you're serious.
