Merriam won’t help you in the court of justice, dude.

You are actually prone to raping people if you don’t know what the definition of rape is.

As a man, I feel utterly unable to comment on this situation - nobody has ever tried to rape me, or made unwelcome physical advances on me (well, a drunk girl, but she was so ineffective I don’t take it seriously) - but I might be able connect two dots, which may be useful to somebody, so I feel it’s my duty to put it…

Yeah. Men need to start valuing that a woman will carry that experience for the rest of her life. That it may cause her difficulty in relationships, flashbacks, etc. I don’t know how anyone can really question whether one more orgasm is worth causing that.

I think we oversimplify sexual relations when we aim to label every case of misconduct as rape, to be honest. We have degrees of wrong attached to ending another human life ranging from a-ok to the ultimate worst act, but we often seem to want for all sex crimes (for lack of a better term) to be identified through one…

Hollywood has officially found its Negro To Play All The…

Lolwtf. Only your direct children are allowed to do that. Others get to get out.

See, I think that refusal to compromise for someone he says he loves does make him a bad person. That, and his controlling behavior - the reproductive coercion and “surprise” anal sex thing, as others have brought up. That all says bad person to me.

Thank you truly for your really well thought out reply Pyrax, it’s the greatest thing about Jezebel, the exchanges. I didn’t mean to come off as totally should or shouldn’t with my comment, but it’s really hard to have a give-and-take convo when you’re typing a monologue. I was shooting for encouragement, not…

The photo of Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady is disturbing to me, because it describes almost every (hetero) relationship I’ve ever been in.
