In the last year, my rapist has reshared several anti-rape essays, including one essay I wrote on a Kinja sub-blog about the time he raped me. The disconnect is baffling.

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.

I'm willing to bet that this guy considers himself a nice, righteous dude that protects women from rapists. And that is why we need to teach men not to rape. Because even the men that abhor rape can be rapists.

He doesn't think of that as rape. He doesn't think of himself as a rapist.

And neither did the guy that did…

K, bye internet. You're done today.

Someone linked that stuff. WHAT.

"For those of you who didn't watch Cry Freedom*"

Indeed! I didn't know until literally last year that the word "tiger" in Eeny Meeny Miny Moe used to be the N word. Way to go, parents, for blocking that one from me until I was 28!

This reminds me of when I worked at a store that sold retro candy and old southern ladies on bus tours would ask if we had "nigger babies", which non-racist people called chocolate babies. I really hated those bus tour people.

Your food shirt in the video was hella cool man!

What?

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.
