When I was a kid, I didn’t know any different. As an adult, now that I realize how young a a 10 or 11 year old is - I am like, what was wrong with my parents? Seriously. I mean, I survived that and many many other questionable situations - but barely.

It’s ridiculous. Once, back in the day, when I was a single young thang (wait, I need a minute to mourn....) okay, anywhoo....my best friend and I had an awful day at our bullsh-t job and we wanted a bottle of champagne and hors d’oeuvres. (Which I then and now cannot spell without checking a dictionary.) But all we…

Word. I grew up with divorced parents and they would put me by myself on a Greyhound bus to go to the next state for visits with my father. I learned quickly to seat right behind the driver, or next to Nuns (for some reason, there were often Nuns on the bus). ALSO - WTF were my parent doing putting a 10, 11, 12 year…

Actually, a lot of them learn early that they can get away with it. Once overheard a kindergarten teacher tell another outraged parent that the 5 year old boy who wouldn’t quit chasing and trying to kiss a girl on the playground “was just being a boy.”
I couldn’t stop the “and when he’s grown up, he’ll be a rapist if…

I traveled alone a lot as a young thing and let me say, that the best advice is to let your girl know that she can speak up, even if she feels embarrassed. The shit that was tried on me while I was travelling, while I was both sleeping and awake, by male passengers was horrifying and I was not expecting any of it from…

Filed to STOP IT MEN, YOUNG WOMEN ARE NOT YOUR PROPERTY.

Freezing is apparently not an uncommon response to sexual assaults of various sorts. I probably wouldn’t know that if not for jezebel commenters. I would love to see the freezing reaction addressed more here and elsewhere, along with suggestion for possible ways to stop it from happening.

DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!

She was so traumatized she wouldn't even let her mother touch her at first, and she was trying to comfort her. The poor kid.

Lol, I’m sure they’ll be the cheapest, tiny diaper-type pads just like I’m sure they’ll provide the cheapest, cardboard applicator tampons.

Perhaps they do know it’s inappropriate but don’t care?

Why do men think this is appropriate behavior? Before any guy is going #notallmen on me, I know, but FAR TOO MANY.

the PNW is full of fucking weirdos, Portland especially. The worst was that fucko in Portland a few years back who was SHAVING pieces of hair off women’s heads while on the bus, he was fresh outta jail because he was caught JACKING OFF onto women, again, on the bus, earlier.

“Burger King Thinks Mac N’ Cheetos Is Something You Might Eat”

Yes it is. Long overdue. I remember not having a dime to buy Kotex out of the dispenser back in high school and praying all the toilet paper I’d made into a pseudo pad wouldn’t fall out of my underpants. I can’t even imagine being homeless or jailed and unable to keep yourself clean. Let’s be honest, if men had blood…

Yeah, people’s perspectives tend to change once you use misrepresentations to justify your supporters’ use of misogyny and threats and then refuse to concede after you’ve lost.

It’s been really fascinating to watch how Bernie, who is literally running a true grassroots campaign and attempting to push policy and discourse to the left, has gone from “fringe candidate” to “hey he’s a real challenger with some radical ideas” and now to “he’s an old white male asshole supported by a bunch of Frat…

Yeah. It is so pervasive, even in the adult world. Yet men wonder why we don't accept their drinks or their advances when we are out with our girlfriends. WE ARE FUCKING TERRIFIED OF YOU.

Yeah, he knew. Sorry. :( But this is why I feel strongly about calling these assholes out on it. Either a guy like that is a creeper and saying something will make him scurry back into his pervhole, or it’s an innocent mistake and he’s embarrassed but appreciative because he’s normal and normal people don’t want to…

It’s because they’re women. Any harassment or abuse women face isn’t serious. It’s just men blowing off steam. Let’s wait til she’s dead so we can feel sorry and wonder what we did wrong. Ha, jk. It’ll obviously be the dead woman’s fault somehow. /s /rage
