YESSSS I have a friend who is EXACTLY like this. He thinks everything “profound” he comes up with is a hot take like no one has ever thought of it before.

So he’s too smart for his own good, is what you’re saying?

Sorry, you don’t get to decide what does and doesn’t offend or trigger other people. Maybe you should consider that and then move the fuck on.

Sexual education is so, so, SO very important. I wish we’d go about things like this in the right order.

I hate seeing the phrase “just get out” or “just leave if you don’t like it” because instead of 1) acknowledging the issue or 2) attempting to fix the issue, you’re placing all the blame and all the effort to make change on the victim.

I actually made my husband change his passwords once because I have a compulsive disorder and I was using the trust he’d placed in me by giving me those passwords like an ass and snooping on all his shit for no reason other than I just wanted to. It was shitty and I was shitty for doing it so I told him I was shitty…

I’m getting increasingly tired of reading all these wypipo comments about why things like this shouldn’t matter/shouldn’t be important to people of color. Realize that how you as a white person feel about the subject isn’t priority number one and shut up already.

If you look at the whole situation as it’s presented and you still think there is a place to discuss whether or not this was racist, you’re being willfully ignorant of what racism is.

I’m not saying men and women can’t be friends for fuck’s sake. I’m saying the “friend zone” doesn’t exist. As in the place that people say they got “put” because their friend doesn’t want to bang them and they feel like they deserve to be bangin’.

I love how you, a man, are telling me, a woman, that I have no idea about what social conditioning women receive because you’ve read some books on it. It’s kind of hilarious but also troubling and a part of the problem I’m speaking about.

I’m not saying you can’t be friends with your partner, you can and pretty much have to be for anything to go anywhere. What I am saying is that you shouldn’t go into a friendship expecting it to become romantic, and if you do develop romantic feelings that aren’t reciprocated, drop it, because you aren’t owed a…

Maybe this can replace “Thanks, Obama!”.

You speak of respect, but do you realize that women aren’t taught to respect themselves? That we are taught only to respect ourselves in the ways that men want us to, but to put ourselves second in every other way?

They’ve actually updated the guidelines, now if you’re under 15 when you get your first does you only need one more 6 months later. And that policy is retroactive as well.

Do you feel this way about physical and emotional abuse, that it is just as much the abused’s fault for staying in the relationship? I can understand why you have these thoughts and feelings, and to a degree you aren’t wrong. But the more subtle point to this piece in my opinion is that no matter how strong the woman…

I don’t disagree that she consented and this is a case of regret and not rape.

Lmao you sound like you shit fedoras.

“I will most definitely be an asshole to someone who tries to pull the bullshit of giving consent and tries to revoke that consent after the fact.”

I understand what the author is trying to say here and have unfortunately felt the same way in certain situations.
