Dear Ms. Koch, On behalf of all gays and lesbians living in Minnesota, I would like to wholeheartedly apologize for our community’s successful efforts to threaten your traditional marriage. We are ashamed of ourselves for causing you to have what the media refers to as an “illicit affair” with your staffer, and we also extend our deepest apologies to him and to his wife. These recent events...

Rape culture is when men feel so entitled to have access to women that they throw bowling balls at us when they are denied.
AND PEOPLE THINK IT DOESN’T EXIST.

Listen,
It does not matter what you say. As a woman, as a woman of color, as a woman of size, as a woman with large breasts or no breasts and a lifetime of experience with bucket loads of passion. It does not fucking matter.*
Because unless there is a white guy backing you up, you are an angry bitch. Uppity, spirited, “that girl”, the femanazi, the super-libber,...

CRS has a giant stick up its ass.
This. Reblog forever because it’s true. They’ve given me more anxiety than I can handle while apparently catering specifically to people with (dis)abilities. They have literally HARRASSED me with multiple phone calls, voicemails, emails and texts in the same day. /rant. They suck.

you paid for dinner
she wore revealing clothing
she wore no clothing at all
she sleeps around

you’re married
she said yes at first then changed her mind
she was drunk
she was on drugs
she was too scared to fight back
you went down on her first
she ‘led you on’
or any other bullshit excuse anyone could possibly think of....
