The client Anna O eventually came back and did what Freud and Breuer could not. Tried to lift the lid off sexual abuse of children and made amazing strides in social work.

It is also difficult to get rid of the opinion that it is always the woman who seduces the man

Why is victim testimony not “sufficient evidence”? In 2018 we’re still skeptical of women.

at least he has faced ~some~ consequences? fuck.

I would add

I’ve always been a cautious Anne Hathaway stan. And now, my watching—and enjoying—both Princess Diaries movies last weekend with my nieces feels like a valid choice.

I was very disappointed when I learned this song was not actually about cake.

I don’t agree with that at all. The indirect description of him isn’t her being sly or coy. As a non-lawyer, she would be worrying about whether she could name him directly or not in her account.

Or she felt the investigation wouldn’t result in anything worth going through the emotional trauma of reliving the events that caused the allegations.

Because there’s absolutely no evidence to a systemic bias in sexual harassment investigation that leans towards men. None at all.

(in case you didn’t notice the second…

Yeah, too much of it rang true to my own abuse for it not to be true. I can see that it probably took a lot of courage for her to post that first essay, and she never intended for any of this blowback to happen. What I’ll never understand is the utter lengths some (men) will go to to defend someone they’ve never met,…

I hope Priyonas have a beach wedding with cake by the ocean

i dislike the idea of “classy”, especially in this instance. she has every right to “go further”, if she so chooses. her choice, i would imagine, has nothing to do with class, and everything to do with protecting herself from online abuse and more mental anguish.

i believe her story 100 percent. you cant make some of that stuff up unless you have lived through the abuse. when he yelled at her for getting excited about seeing a puppy, the same shit happened to me when i dated an emotionally abusive person. i saw a friend i hadnt seen in ahwile while walking down they street…

“That guy from Sex and the City..”

Ultimately, Pirelli’s portrayal may be sensitive—we’re assuming so, since Copeland was clearly on board with this role and deserves her agency in doing so.

Who work at the local university. I left it out, but these dudes are not students. Not even close.

This is why I go to a women's-only gym. Healthworks for the win for all my Boston ladies! Perks include free tampons, make-up removing wipes, and fruit-infused water. Plus it's always nice to get on a machine and see that the current movie selections are Mean Girls, The Queen, and Bridesmaids.

That happened to me recently too! A guy at my gym found me on FB and messaged me saying that he sees me around the gym all the time but that he usually goes in the mornings and I go at night so he doesn't see me much anymore. I just have no clue how he could have gotten my name to find me on FB...

That is the worst! I feel like "working in" (outside of a strictly weightlifting gym) is just some relic of 80s gym culture, like leg warmers or thong leotards or Perfect starring Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta.

even better: when a dude DOESN'T hit on you at the gym.
