Great! The constant harassment and remarks that make me feel bad about my body and who I like, that make me feel unsafe, that make me feel like I do not have autonomy over my own life because straight cismen are more important and can tell me what to...
Domestic violence: women's charities face 100%... →
In an era of senseless cuts to vital public services, here’s one that in its brutal scale and short-sightnedness almost beggars belief: Devon county council’s proposals to reduce funding for domestic violence support services by 100%.
That’s not a misprint: the council has indeed said it wants to withdraw the entire £1m it currently gives to the three charities which make up the county’s...

On webcam to Anella. Discussing how Mario Lanza makes her feel so much passion and awesome. She can’t handle it. She proceeds to say it’s making her too hot and that she needs to get naked. I laugh thinking IT’S JUST AN EXPRESSION, but no, no it is not, I realise, as she then proceeds to whip off her top and start dramatically singing at the camera with her hands in the air.

Don't say rape when you don't mean rape.
nathanonline:
There are many things rape is not:
consensual sex
affectionate contact
a bear hug
a tackle
eye contact
an argument
a surprise
overburdening
an athletic loss
a neutral metaphor
There are only a few things rape is:
forcing sex on a person
despoiling a population or place
[a mustard plant or grape residue]

Sitting there and stubbornly refusing to apologise because just somebody confronted you and informed you of firstly, what it means, and secondly, how it affects people, is NOT the way to go about expressing the fact you’re so “bothered” that you unwillingly contributed to undermining an issue which has affected your best fucking friend for the past 6 months.
