passed by a woman who’s perfume smelled like picking honeysuckles with my classmates in kindergarten and I realized I miss every single person I’ve ever known
I was raped in college. By a friend. Someone I thought I might even date. I’d slept at his place a couple times before. And I was never interested in drinking personally so I was always sober. One night he had a few drinks and he wanted to make out. His friends had passed out
I've seen multiple women today talk about being relentlessly pressured into sex they did not want with the replies being full of men hurling abuse at them for considering it rape. men refuse to accept that coercion is rape because if they admit it is then they are rapists.
“women who just had bad sex are claiming to have been raped so that they’ll receive better treatment” yes. all that great treatment you give rape victims. you treat them so kindly and with such privilege.
Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
