The divide in reactions to episode 3 between men and women is extremely interesting. I found the episode so uncomfortable. He WAS intimidating her, and she was finally seeing him as he was, dangerous - not the little boy with the sprinkles on his drink. #Adolescence
@goodreads I’m trying to export my lists but it’s saying I don’t have any books in lists. Tried contacting you through your app/website numerous times and been ignored! Can someone please help
@Cara_Erin@lookfantastic I thought I was going mad, I’ve been trying to sign up but have the same issue. Tried explaining on a live chat and they just said they couldn’t help and closed the chat 🙃
Women do not get raped because of their clothes.
Women do not get raped because of their attitude.
Women do not get raped because of their morals.
Women do not get raped because of anything they did wrong.
Women get raped because men choose to rape them.
Why are your homes unsafe spaces for YOUR daughters? And if it’s the men in your families that you don’t trust, why do you bring them around your kids?
My abusive husband never told me what I should wear, but I ended up avoiding the clothes he didn’t like anyway 😣This is how coercive control works…
One day, I came to the kitchen wearing a black blouse My husband screwed up his face and asked me why I was wearing black (he believed it was the color of evil). He said I looked ugly in that blouse and that he didn’t like it. I told him that was fine, he didn’t have to wear it.
Then he brought our 5-year-old son into the room. “Mummy doesn’t look good in black, does she?” he asked our child. Looking at his father and knowing very well that it’s best to agree, he nodded. “Yes, black is not a nice color mummy,” he told me.
Fuming that he’d involve our child, I told him he is not to comment on my clothes again, nor involve our child. And that set him off… He lectured me for 2 hours on how I should work on my reactions to improve myself, how he has a right to give his views, and so on. In total, the discussion about the blouse lasted 3 hours. 😤
A month later, I was choosing my outfit, and I went to reach for my black blouse, but then I hesitated. Was it worth it the hassle? Did I really have the energy to go through all that again? I decided I didn’t and I chose something else.
And this is exactly how coercive control works. You learn to choose the easier option just to keep the peace and avoid the negative consequences. And bit-by-bit you fall in line with how they want you to be, until eventually there is no part of you left. Everything about ‘you’ is exactly how they want it.

Dave Grohl rant was utterly moronic and counterproductive, as was the supportive in-stadium reaction.
1) She’s built her career on playing live (and, yes, making some ERRORS) even when it meant taking heat from critics. So the implication is bizarre.
2)I know she’s “pop,” but she’s also a prolific songwriter who’s long made honest music with real instruments. So she’s neither a soulless pop act nor the “enemy” of a traditional rock band. Even if you have that middle school “pop is lame” mentality, someone like Taylor should be exempt. She’s “one of the good ones.”
3) Her Eras Tour is a music-first, cardio-intensive masterclass that inherently warrants respect from fellow performers. It has also ignited a new level of interest in a live stadium music experience across so different demographics, thereby making true “rock concerts” even more appealing. Bands that want to play long, elaborate, high-energy shows with MUSIC as the centerpiece benefit from the success of The Eras Tour.
You were sucking the life out of her until she became a shell of herself. Not being around you gave her so much more mental clarity and peace in order to do more self care.
Hope that helps
